Muddy River Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Has there ever been a player who never played for IU that has gotten the run on message boards as McKinley Wright? I didn't want him over Rob then, and I don't want him now. For all of you stressing locking up the boarders, how does that work when you say to Indiana kids "We appreciate your commitment, and even giving up your Senior year of High School, but I need you to take a seat for this kid from Minnesota", or are some of you suggesting we go with a three point guard line up? I 'm tired of crappy team chemistry, I'm tired of hearing about McKinley Wright, I look forward to the days when he is no longer in college and people stop bringing him up. OK that's it. Old Man rant over. Carry On. 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Easy no for me. You dont talk Lander into moving up then bring in another guy to take more mins. We have Rob Al and Lander at the point we are more than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 We had a huge thread about that big guy on east that ended up going to Georgetown and then Nebraska. Everybody was on here waiting for him to commit and he turned out to be a stiff. Fr McKinley I don't see the reason to be talking about him since it has never came out that he is looking to transfer.

Yeah. When he left B-town on his official, he told several players he was coming to IU. But had to talk to his mother first. Got to D.C. Was met by their coaches, and committed to Georgetown. The "Jeffries" effect.... in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Workouts have already started, unless we are talking a Shaq type of player, I don't think I would add anyone at this point.) And you would not have been taking him over Rob, different class, you would be looking at him over Durham, Justin Smith, or the kid from that class who left after his first year whose name escapes me. With Rob hurt off and on the past few years, I think a guy like Wright would definitely have helped. He may have been enough to get us over the tournament hump in Romeo's year.

Probably all moot, but I’d still add him now. He’s been a consistent 14-5-5 guy each of his three years. What IU guard is a lock to give that production this year? Don’t know exactly how he ended up at CO, but after his release from Dayton, Archie said publicly that MW should stay at Dayton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Colorado can keep him, imo. We are set with guards for this season. He said no to Archie once. Too bad , so sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves, McKinley was a year ahead of Rob, and my fear was that a commitment from him would have pushed Rob elsewhere. My thought was that taking a kid from West Laffy that purdue WANTED, was more valuable than taking a kid from Minnesota. In terms or recruiting, rivalry, and locking up the state, Rob was the player I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_iu_bb Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think it should try to land Luka Garza if he decides to transfer. That seems as likely at this point as Wright transferring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even realize he was best. Doesn’t seem like it. I like Al, but don’t think he’s anything special. Rob or Hunter could be best 3 pt guys next year. Really was hoping Rob would trend like Yogi. Nonetheless, Wright would help this team IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a talented player. But isn’t tall enough to play with Rob and Lander in a 3 guard lineup. Al is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, means we’re in for another long year. I don’t see Al as a leader. To me, RP, TJD, JB and RT display leader traits, not Al for me. Don’t care if he’s a senior or not.
