Could be a top 10 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I think you'd want someone that can play point, but also slide into a shooter role and play alongside Phinisee at times too. Yes. Cory Joesph plays that role for the Pacers well.

IU Scott Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 To me I would love to find a point guard like Aaron Craft who was a hell of a leader. I know he couldn't shoot but he always made his teammates better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 A senior guard of some sort would be great, though I don't find to be quiet as dire as some if we land Romeo. I figure Romeo and McRoberts are more than capable of playing 30+ minutes at the 2 and 3. Factor in Anderson and Hunter and we should be good there. If Phinisee is ready to play 20-25 minutes then we just need Green and Durham to get us through the rest of the game. I can't see Archie playing a big rotation just for the sake of it. He has shown he doesn't have a problem playing tight rotations and big minutes to the guys who he needs to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we would turn down a one year grad transfer at the guard position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have 3 guys that could play the 1 and probably 7 guys who could play the 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely talent in that group, but you listed Langford, McRoberts, Phinisee, Hunter and Anderson. That’s four freshmen. We’d be putting a ton of faith in four freshmen to basically be our backcourt, especially whencMcRoberts isn’t really a ball handler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but I don't think counting on Romeo is a stretch at all and I'm talking about Anderson and Hunter is backups in this scenario playing like 20 minutes combined per game, maybe less (can certainly see McRoberts and Romeo playing closer to 35 minutes in big games). So we are really talking about Phinisee at the point either Durham and Green backing him up. I trust at least Durham to develop into a steady backup to help take the load off of Rob. Green is obviously a huge wild card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phinisee, Green, Romeo, Hunter, and Morgan and just dribble drive all day... ughhhh. At some point water finds it's level and we get some good news!!!

BobSaccamanno Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 I didn’t start the rumor, so I don’t know if he’s graduating this year or if he’s interested in playing for his home state school, but Jaelen Sanford of Toledo is like the perfect fit for what we need. Even if we didn’t get Langford, I think we could be pretty good with Sanford. There’s nothing not to like about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Transfer season is about to kick into high gear. Couple of Big 10 programs will be losing multiple guys this week. As it relates to IU...I want to take this moment before this part of the year to say thanks to all who chose IU. If there's a better option out there. We thank you and wish you the best of luck. Obviously everything depends on Romeo/Juwan leaving staying but I'll always welcome shooters. Archie will take care of the defense part of it but shooters are always welcome in my books.

Work to be done for that to be a reality. If we are all going to guess, Persons from Ball State already transferred once from Northern Kentucky and had to sit out a year so that could possibly be a more realistic since he has been in college for four years. He is more of a PG than Sanford as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
