Kopp has over 3 times as many career points scored. I guess I don't understand how someone that avged 13p 4r and shot 39% from 3 and is 6'7 could be a bad thing? He’s had good spurts. I don’t think you can compare career stats of Kopp and JH. didn’t really say it was a bad thing. We will see what happens. But what I said is I don’t want to force someone to move on and add Kopp who will be a role player. Kopp and TJD on the court at the same time will help offensively, but defensively we are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolson said the tailgate fields and stands will be open for football. A new prez at IU who loves sports!!!!!!!!. Shouldn't be a problem. Finding cheap tickets anymore will be.

I know RP’s mom was happy that Coach Clif was staying, so I don’t know if he’s the one based on that, unless feelings changed in the last couple days. I feel like RP will really benefit from not having to be the man with the ball at all times. We relied on him to score last year and I feel like he can relax now and do his thing. I hate to speculate on kids, or make the statement I’m about to make, but I’m wondering if Hunter’s playing time just got crushed. With the addition of Kopp and Hunter’s inability to play D and make good decisions.... 🤷🏻♂️. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 🛑 .... you got me there. how could I possibly have my own opinion now. maybe reread my post. Comprehension? You are in this old view of basketball. Unless you get some Dirk type to play the four it is going to be a 6’5” to 6’8” type. Gonzaga 6’7” at the four, Baylor 6’5” at the four, Illinois 6’6” at the four, Purdue 6’6” at the four, OSU 6’7” at the four... Tweeners at the four are fine. It’s a position that needs a shooter more than size. Edited April 20, 2021 by IU_Realist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see rob playing more of the 2 position. Lander fits CMW offense better than Rob does and with some confidence Rob can be good on entry passes and has a pretty decent shot.

Fiveoutofsix Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Excellent addition! This kid can do it all, and in a solid role will be a great addition. Being around NW, he has the capabilities of more. Reading some of the comments about rebounding, he was asked to do it as much and within their system. With IU'S new offense and Johnson and others ability to drive, more will open up for him. Awesome get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 It’s nice to have a staff that can identify the holes in our roster and then actually get a player to fill it.

Do people forget his heroics defending Webber and helping us hold off the fab five to basically wrap up the B1G Championship?? As a FRESHMAN! People should really go back and rewatch him. Imagine Brian Evans today. Perfect stretch 4! I know he wasn't quick but dang that kid could shoot...and boy did he fight defending bigger dudes. Despite all his injuries he is an all timer in my book! I'll take anything resembling that from Miller. Go IU! https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1993-02-15-1993046088-story.html Just watched that game about a month or so ago, Evans was a damn fine player and everything about reminds me of IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Love the shooter aspect. What does this do for our depth and now log jam at the non primary/facilitating wing position? Leal 6'5” 210. Not quite a true shooting guard, that's the end game goal. Currently not a great defender. A shooter about to pop. Galloway 6'4" 210. Not a shooting guard if you can't shoot, that is the end game goal. Currently a good not great defender- Hunter 6'7" 215. The goal is a 3/4 that can shoot and still guard maybe up to 3 positions. Becoming a serviceable, versitile defender when his head is focused. Geronimo 6'6" 220. Physical specimen. Tons of room for growth. Not currently great at anything, end goal is the ceiling is the roof. Race Thompson 6'8" 220. A true traditional 4. In a 4 out offense, he's currently a small 5. Gotta improve the shot and bring the A game every night. Trust him to guard any 4 or 5 in the conference. Kopp 6'7" 215. Can shoot. Not sure his defensive capabilities. Someone provide assessment here. Offensively a perfect stretch 4. Not sure about his abilities to put it on the floor but against most teams 4 in a well spaced offense, iirc he can go by guys. Trayce. Will likely never play the "4" wing in college. I'm a little surprised IU didn't add more bigs so he could play a little more away from the basket at times but what do I know. I pray Trayce and even Duncomb stay healthy or we are screwed at true post depth. We do not want to go extended parts of the season with Race at the 5. That would be like a slightly better defensive situation than running Juwan Morgan at the 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
