This is the least talented team we’ve had since the 08 season. There's a thread I think Mile started about why Crean doesn't watch IU BB. He shouldn't watch knowing what a dumpster fire he left behind...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckraker Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 When was the last time we had a legitimate backup PG? Hulls/Yogi, maybe, but Hulls always seemed like an undersized 2 guard to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Archie and Ostrom went to Iowa last night to watch DJ Carton. Mentioned this I think earlier in this thread. His high school is a pipeline to Iowa and by all accounts they are the team to beat but glad we followed up his visit to Bloomington with a visit of our own. Talented player. With Fran's job situation always being discussed....could be we might be a legit option here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly the best missed dunk I've ever seen. Also, pretty cool to see three above average NBA players in that pic from IU. EDIT: all five Michigan players pictured made the NBA. Fair to say UM and IU are not part of the talent level perception issue for the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I still think he'll be a tough one to pull out of Iowa but you never know. As I mentioned in other thread Phinisee might have plenty to do with this recruitment unless Archie thinks he can convince 2 PG's to play at same time.

milehiiu Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 So funny. Peegs puts the Carton offer behind a paywall. While guys like Seeking6, and bstall76 tells us about the offer... for free ! Heck... the young man even tweeted out his IU offer, for the world to see. I keep telling you guys, in this age of social media, etc. Pay per view sites are eventually going to go the way of the dinosaur, if all they are going to do is charge for information, that can easily be had elsewhere, for free. Now... back to your regularly scheduled thread..... for free. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ventured over to the free Peegs board and wow, even being free you don't get your money's worth. As you say, so much non-proprietary info is available to be shared here and a couple of other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud anyone for trying or making $ off of college sports...but you can find anything for free with just a couple more clicks. In terms of Carton. This is one of the rare times I actually know a couple people close to this one. If I hear anything of substance I'll pass it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 This offer is sort of a head scratcher for me unless green and durham are expected to transfer - maybe theres some giant shortage of PGs in coming years im not aware of? Maybe he redshirts? I guess he could ride the pine pretty much his whole career? My main concern is clogging up the guard positions so we don't have room for some highly rated guys in subsequent years - i.e. Zion Harmon etc. etc. 2019: we have Green Durham RP - you have to expect by now RPis prob in a tight share with Green(if Green does continue to improve), or who knows maybe Durham or RP run away with the job. Carton prob close to no minutes in his freshman year. 2020 RP starts probably some Durham splits. minimal minutes for Carton in his sophmore year. 2021 RP dominating minutes at the 1, carton could back up during his Junior season. Maybe we play 2 guard backcourt(could hurt us on defense) 2022 Carton starts I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 A couple of years ago UNC had 3 point guards who were all highly ranked in their classes and they were able to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Guster Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I wouldn't be as concerned with playing 2 point guards as I would be about playing 2 small point guards. If Carton and RP are both around 6 feet, I would worry about how we'd match up with teams with more length on the perimeter. That's putting the cart way before the horse, I know, but just a thought. This kid can definitely play though, so if he wants to be a Hoosier, I'm all in. On a side note, how cool is it to see "HSN Chancellor Emeritus" under Mile's name now? Couldn't go to a better guy. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I think with both RP and Carton could co-exist together but maybe in small increments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also took a swipe at Iowa fans in January on twitter. Iowa fans wanted to fire Ferentz a couple of times so nothing would surprise me. I don't mind Fran actually. I think he genuinely respects and understands the game of hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
