There’s a 0% chance he’s not starting. He was a better scorer than Al last year and he didn’t start over him. Unless we go 3 guard lineup like in the NIT and Hunter is still not playing I do expect Green to come off the bench. Al is a much superior defender and that is most important. If I know Archie like I think I’m getting to know him he will start Al. I could be wrong but these guys are all going to avg 25-26 mins a game and it won’t matter so much who starts but we will need that punch off the bench that change of pace Green gives us. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the this team to maximize its potential TJD and Jerome, specifically, will need to play well enough to start. I don't want Smith starting just because he has experience or TJD starting because he has 5 *. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 If Hunter doesn’t start it’s going to be a long season. If we are to make the tourney Jerome has to be the gold jersey wearing stud we saw praised early in the season before his medical condition. Kid is a top 50 talent...and in some classes like I’d say the 2020 class could be a 5*. If he is healthy he is our starting 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I never hear about Jerome's gold jersey ever again, that would be fine with me. I mean, Devonte Green has a handful of gold jerseys in his closet, but we don't confer any added faith in his abilities because of it. Just a few posts above you don't think he should start over Al Durham. I'm not posting to call you out specifically or personally; I've seen this same honor referenced by many across multiple messages boards. The gold jersey he won once has become part of this legend of Jerome Hunter that's only grown with time. I just don't believe it has anything near the significance a hopeful fan base wants it to convey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same significance as any fan’s hopeful faith that DG is going to turn into a dependable contributor for us capable of being a major player in a deep run for us. I’ll believe the Hunter hype when I see it and I’ll believe the DG hype when he starts taking care of the basketball and doesn’t jack up terrible shots on a consistent basis. If we’re knee deep putting our hopes on either of these kids we’re in BIG TIME trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a coaching tool to increase competition and motivation in practice, nothing more, nothing less. Morgan even said in one of his post-season interviews that it wasn't that big of a deal to the players and how to win in it was kind of arbitrary. It's not a 'who is the best player' thing, it's a 'who had the best week of practice' thing, and practicing the best could mean a variety of different things.

But he got the gold jersey for “hitting a lot of shots,” so I’m pretty sure that means he’s the second coming of Steph Curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Whether you're a believer in the Gold Jersey or not, at least IU's practice award isn't something like the Brass Jockstrap (don't google that at work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I 100% believe in Jerome Hunter. His skill set is unlike anyone we have on this team. We’ve heard what Dackich said...staff said early in the year...what team mates said...this kid is a difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoosier Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Outside of the Indiana kids (Leal and Galloway), which out of state players are real possibilities in the class of 2020 for the Hoosiers? Players whom have legit interest and the staff are high on. @CoachSS @IUwins0708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Just a general question. I check the recruiting board first each day. To me it seemed we hit some momentum a few weeks back but right now I feel like is zero going on. Any chance we are getting verbals or commits soon? Or are the kids who (and those around them) say they love IU,etc....still waiting to take all trips and sign this fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just me from what I hear in their interviews and not first hand knowledge but most are wanting to commit before school starts...so it seems to me they are waiting to finish up their AAU circuit and see what final offers come in ...maybe take a visit or two but I’d say by next month we should start seeing commitments. Definitely before their HS season starts for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
