IU Scott Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 This is a very good pickup and wonder how he picks up the defense. They say it takes a year or so to learn the pack line so that would be a concern. If he plays this year I think he will be fine on the offensive end. I guess you can look at it that we got a player a the trade deadline and have to work that player into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I wouldn’t give to sit and watch one more IU game together (a win hopefully). I’ll settle for watching it with my daughter....continue the cycle.

IndyHoosier22 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 He'll have two years of eligibility correct? He won't be able to play this season also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had guys in the past not give that and they still played meaningful minutes. I think he will be A ok. I can see this team become dangerous late in the season if chooses to come. Won’t happen overnight but maybe by tournament time he will be able to fully contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be able to play this year but it's undecided if he will. And yes, 2 years of eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he has two years of eligibility. He is eligible to play during the second semester of this season, and would still have 2 years of eligibility if he were to play any during this season. It's still up in the air on whether or not he will play at all during this season, per Jeff Borzello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything reported is it’s up to IU...but this year is a free year for kids playing due to Covid. So he has two full years even after this one.

Hoosierfan1215 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Sounds like an outstanding young man. Can’t wait to see him in cream and crimson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I love that he has good size for a guard. 6'5", can handle and shoot the ball. Not seeing any downside here at all. Welcome to IU, Parker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegrassIU Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just saw where he is 22 years old, with 2 years of eligibility. He brings some maturity to the table. Heck, he may be 5 years older than Lander! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 This is great pickup that fills a huge hole. I think he could be a major difference maker this year if they allow him to play. Maybe he’ll be able to help some if the other players with their shooting inconsistencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 The only downside, which could actually be an upside, is he's been on a lot of losing teams. Pitt 2017–18 record 8–24 (0–18 ACC) Stallings 2nd year UTM 2019–20 record 9–20 (5–13 OVC) So he should be hungry to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
