Not a rebuilding year? The team was 12-15 last season. It's a rebuilding year regardless. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4 teams between them and the bottom of the B1G last year so it wouldn't take much for them to improve. It wasn't a good team that just had a bad year. At best it was a mediocre team that underperformed a bit. The new coaching staff alone could improve on that some but it would still be a mediocre team with a low ceiling. Fortunately, the team will have some new faces next year so the ceiling will hopefully be higher. Hard to tell until all the transferring in and out of the program is done.

The real question is, how much improvement will there be? I could see it quickly morphing from a rebuild to a fairly high level of success. As you said, hard to tell until all the pieces are in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumors are true that they are landing Zibby from Creighton then watch out. One of the best players in the country hands down. That would be a dynamic addition for them. They have plenty of bigs they need shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what Beard said in almost exact words when interviewed by Colin Cowheard. Its roster management...and it begins with managing the portal and transfers (in and out).

Needs to improve on his shooting and becoming a more "attacking" pg but I KNOW Woody will help him with that. Not everyone has to shoot 3's all the time...but even if he can become say a 30% 3 pt shooter he would be deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I have a feeling a certain guy with the same last name as a Ketchup brand and of no relation to Garth will be a Hoosier by the end of the week. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a great addition since we will likely lose Geronimo and Race. We need a starting 4...and I'll take starter quality even if he doesn't stretch the floor between him and Hunter we should be able to cover the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be huge since I thought for sure he was gone due to him mom wanting him closer to home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
