If we still healthy for the back half, should be in a position to win 12 with the savant in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Hunter Dickinson’s frame reminds me of Brook Lopez, who was a top ten pick. I don’t know why he wouldn’t just go pro and be done with it. He’s tall but also well put together and not a goof ball like a lot of big guys. He’s got tools.

First time I saw him, I literally thought he was a walkon. But he has really impressed me over time. Certainly he thinks he can score on our guards anytime which is a nice edge to have.

Name another school in the Big 10 who has had a coach on the job for 7 years....and not win a tourney game for 4 straight years after that.....and still remain employed. Actually could be a fun trivia question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I don't know what to make of Jaden Ivey. Couldn't miss against us, followed that with a stinker against Penn St, and then hit a game winner against OSU. If you saw his OSU post game, he went on a crying jag about wanting to win so bad...so what does he do? Plays so poorly against Michigan Trevion Williams gets in his grill to straighten him out. 1-6 (0-3 from 3 point range) with 2 turnovers.

You missed my point. No other school in the conference would allow him to have the recent success he undoubtedly has had. Still waiting for the answer though from anyone. Point me to a school that has a coach on the job in the Big 10 for 7 years....followed by 4 years of no tourney wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how smart the school is for being patient with him and seeing his potential. I know the point your making but it doesn’t make sense to me. He was a young coach that just needed time to break through. To me it’s a compliment to their AD for having faith in what he knew was a great coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually could be a fun trivia question. Why you’re still hung up on that random fact is beyond me. Only 2 of those years were non-tournament years. Sometimes you lose in the first round. It’s clear he had built up enough equity his first 7 years where the down years were looked at as an anomaly not the norm.

Still very raw and if he ever straightens out his jumper watch out. He was a favorite of mine before he committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not 4 years in a row without a tournament win but starting in the 94-95 season RMK lost 3 straight years in the tournament. In his last 6 years he only won 2 tournament games. This was after RMK had been there for 23 years. Edited January 23, 2021 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly who I was thinking of...but he really hasn't turned in a "good Devonte" 9-15 from 3 effort yet... 14 minutes ago, Stlboiler23 said: The guy is a stud in the making IMO.

I don't know about that...I think he could wind up being a head case like Eastern... I wouldn't mess with Trevion if I was him though...
