If we get Davis, we are not getting Lander. Rob will still be here in 2021 as well. That's a crowd. An ideal PG setup is having a 3 year Sr. starter who is a pure PG with a soid Freshman backup. The fresman then starts as Sophomore, and he has a combo guard backup until his Senior year when an incoming freshman arrives to be backup. And, start the cycle all over again.

I've always preferred staggering true PGs on a two year basis, so that you always have two true lead guards on the roster, one as the starter and one as the understudy. The timetable for Phinisee and Lander may not make that possible in this case, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no backup next year...we have to have a pg one way or another. You don’t go into a season with only 1 primary ball handiler. I don’t think it’s ideal to have 3 but you do what is best for the program. If Davis leaves after a year he leaves..but he wouldn’t stop us from taking Lander...not one bit and he wouldn’t keep Lander from commiting imo.

dgambill Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Here is my question...I couldn’t figure out how to make a poll but who would everyone prefer to back up Rob next year (we will have no other primary ball handiler on the roster) Nijel Pack 6’0 traditional RJ Davis 6’0 shooter Hassan Diarra 6’2 slasher Mike Saunders Jr 6’1 slasher DJ Steward 6’3 Shooter/scorer combo guard No one (Wait for Khristian Lander in 2021) I’m leaving off Love because first off we would all be crazy not to want him but I think he is extremely long shot.

From what I’ve heard Steward isn’t a pg in any form. So he isn’t really a combo guard at all other than he is 6’3. I’d take any of them. I also don’t think Lander would be scared off by any of these players either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he can bring the ball up and get us into our offense that would be enough until we land an official pg in Lander possibly in 2021...I wouldn’t call Green a pg either but he can get us into our offense...but you may be right...maybe he can’t handle that...just saw some reports calling him a combo guard.

No they are not. This is a multi-city qualifying weekend and basically any adidas affiliated team can enter with hope it can qualify for the July summer championship. Yesterday's games were cupcakes pure and simple. Today should be a little better with a tournament bracket format and only the best teams from Saturday participating. The D1 Minnesota squad (Ben Carlson, Kendall Brown and Dawson Garcia) also advanced and could possibly face off against the Indiana Elite team today.

Yeah I was saying in another thread it’s probably why coaches don’t look at the stats so much...they care more about the individual matchups. Just like in HS these kids score 35 a game against poor competition but only may play a handful of games against meaningful competition as far as being able to evaluate D1 prospects. That said it makes for building good highlight reels for these kids lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU4Ever Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 As I mentioned yesterday, Indiana Elite did indeed end up facing D1 Minnesota for the weekend championship in Chicago. Both teams banged up and tired and they mutually agreed to forego playing the final game - would have been their 6th game in 2 days. The IE team is 16-3 this AAU season.

Madison22 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Indiana had a 19-point lead in the first half, but eventually lost to Kentucky 115 to 104 in the junior all star game over the weekend. Of note: Trey Galloway 13 points. Shot 6 for 14. Anthony Leal 11 points. Shot 3 for 9. Nijel Pack 5 points. Shot 1 for 10.

5fouls Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Losing to Kentucky should never, ever happen when it's our best high schoolers versus their best high schoolers, no matter what the class (in this case outgoing juniors, incoming seniors).

Looks like they just didn’t bring the energy out in the second half...all star games generally are about how hard you get kids to play...more so than talent...but that said we always have more talent but we just don’t get up for these games the way we used to when there was a UK/IU rivalry.

Based on this and your other post about legit teams facing/destroying cupcakes trying to qualify, adidas really should rethink that tournament. The best matchup/championship was not played yet 72-23 and 87-32 games were? Silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was referred to as a regional qualifier and I believe there were at least 3 other cities that hosted a qualifier. It was open to any adidas affiliated program that wanted to make an attempt to qualify for the adidas summer championship. Not the best analogy but it's similar to golfers playing in U.S. Open qualifiers hoping to make it to the actual tournament. A bone adidas can throw at its participating programs.

Does seem silly but for those non-top teams it was their chance to qualify. That said if I'm a scout there is absolutely NOTHING I can take from that tournament and likely no reason to even go watch the games due to the quality of competition. Like I said in another post...it's why you have to be careful just looking at stats on the AAU circuit...the numbers can be very deceiving. It's more about matchups where some of these big name kids get to play against each other and what they do then as opposed to overall numbers.
