I’m sure you will find a good station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big premium...bigs don't seem to be getting as much love and attention. It is almost like the game is moving away from bigs. Imagine one day where anyone over 6'8 won't be able to get a scholarship lol. j/k 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it's full, but a lot can happen between now and the fall semester. Guess it all depends on if the staff wants to bring in anyone else, and thus push someone out.

Popular Post IU_Realist Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) @Stlboiler23here is where I will call you out. Now you are getting all dumb on other boards again. Do you understand advanced statistics? I am assuming you don’t just from your comments. Argument 1: Xavier Johnson has a PER of 20.8 Eli Brooks had a 15.7 and Smith had a 13.4 at Michigan Curbelo had an 18 at Illinois Bohannon had a 16 at Iowa Stefanovic had a 15 and Hunter had an 11 at Purdue. CJ Walker had a 15 at OSU This would make him one of the most efficiency PGs in the Big Ten and he played on a crappy team last year. Johnson was great and the TOs were fine because usage was high and he had a high assist % of 42.2% while his TO % was only 20%. For example Curbelo had an assist % of 34.4% and a TO% of 23.7%. Johnson would have started on the majority of the B10 teams because he was better than them statistically. Argument 2: Tony Bennett is going after Franklin for two reasons. Good shooter at low volumes and good packline defender. He needs scorers because he lost his top two only double digit scorers. However at IU he was inefficient with a 14 PER at scoring. His assist % was lower than his turnover percentage. Johnson was better than him as I described above. Arguably as good as defender as well. Stewart is better than him on offense as well with a 19 PER last year when he was hunting shots and firing all over. He also had a higher PER as a frosh at Pitt as Aarman did last year against high major opponents. He won’t be doing that at IU. He will be the sniper that TJD as needed to spread the floor which IU guards have sucked at. We have watched years of open bricks being out up. Stewart beats him on offense but the part he won’t be as good as Franklin will be defense. Bates is a top 25 player on ESPN and will most likely be a top 30-40 on the other site. Those type of kids play and take minutes as well. Aarman was replaceable and could be improved on as shown above. Argument 3: IU really had only three irreplaceable players in my opinion. 1)One is the obvious TJD. He is option 1. 2) Race Thompson as he is a good big. We didn’t need to start playing Duncomb so early or Brunk who is slow and hurt. 3) Stewart - we need the shooting. Big time. The rest of the team is kids that need to be developed. 1) Lander as you mock. Wright failed with a five star PG. Cal has had many five star PG come in early and take time. He is a year early and not all players are created equally. Some take more time and if you looked at the majority of early enrollees...they take a couple seasons. Look at Juzang for one example, played 12 mpg at Kentucky and look what he did at UCLA this year. Majority of these kids aren’t ready because they are a year behind on body maturing and lifting. They take an extra year in most cases. 2) Kopp - have you ever heard of a thing called usage? Do you think Kopp will be used the same way he was used at NW? Do you think we will be running specific plays for him like NW did? No. He will be a complimentary player who will be used to shoot when open. He won’t be shooting 10 shots a game and forcing things. He won’t be needed to do that. Watch a video of how he was used. It won’t be the same. We saw the good in him through his second seasons and the majority of last season. He was a 38% three point shooter until the last three games. In a more specific role he can help out a lot. Geronimo, Leal, Galloway, and Duncomb have time. Historically these type of kids 100-150 take a year or two or even three to contribute. They have time. People just need to let them develop. Phinisee and Hunter. I think everyone would have a point in saying we know what we will get with these. I think it would be best for them in a reduced to no role/transfer. Phinisee has a 9 PER. Hunter doesn’t play much D and I question if he has it. One thing I will agree with people is you tend to talk out of both sides of your mouth. That’s not a good way to go about life. The thing with transfers is you don’t know how they will work out. One of Baylor’s top five scorers was a 3 ppg scorer before transferring and shot 28% from 3. Different situation and different results. Numerous examples of it working out for the better and numerous examples of a PTPer doing nothing or the same thing continuing.

Euroclydon Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Now that the dust has settled I'm feeling a little bit of a let down. It was nice having positive news breaking for IU virtually every day or two. You start to expect something good is about to be announced. I still think it's possible the roster could change but for now it's nice to see IU set with coaches and players while other programs are still scrambling. What I hope to hear in the coming weeks... * Possibly add another big who fits the system for next season, even though it means someone would have to leave * Announce changes to future non-conference scheduling with more top tier teams being added * Add a 2022 or 2023 top recruit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, but the article I cited was from today, and it says he's staying... "The 6-4 Brockington, who began his career at St. Bonaventure, was second on the Lions in scoring (12.6 points per game) and rebounding (4.9) while shooting a team-best 84.1% on free throws. When he announced his return to the program on March 26, he wrote on Twitter he would “test the NBA draft process for feedback on my game.” "Then he added, “Following my meeting with Coach Shrewsberry, I really believe in the vision he has for this program and feel we can do something special.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
