If you want the scholly better pull the trigger quickly With NIL and a no nonsense/straight up coaching staff IU is sitting nicely. When was the last time IU had 3 legitimate top 5 kids looking. Booker and his parents will be on campus with the full coaching staff. Setting up nicely. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btownstrength Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Assuming we get either Booker or Queen and couldn't take both due to position right? Public consensus...who should we go after harder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Queen that pipeline to Montverde is nice and will continue to pay. I want whichever wants to be a Hoosier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 There will be enough mins for both with Race and Trace gone and Malik Reneau likely a 2 and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what would make Reneau a 2 and gone. He's going to fight for minutes this year. Expecting him to come out as a sophomore and be NBA ready would be expecting a lot. Unless he's just adamant about going pro, expecting him to be THAT good is a lofty expectation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Woodson, I'd get both on campus at the same time. Tell Queen that we expect him to be the next Draymond Green. Play like that, be that successful. I'd tell Xavier that we expect him to lead the country in 3-point shooting for offense, and blocks for defense. And that they can both achieve these things as teammates. Sign them both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think IU would take both, but with significant positional overlap it may be a hard sell to get them both in the same class. Although maybe with his perimeter skills, Booker may see himself as more of a combo forward. I would be ecstatic if we landed either, let alone both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Queen play as much, but it seems that with both having ball handling skills and both able to shoot from deep that a team could put them anywhere from the 3 - 5 spots and they can co-exist. There's a lot of "position-less" basketball being played. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get plenty of mins. this year, i think the kid is that good. he is about the same size Trace was as a freshmen but a better shooter. I watched a lot of their games and he was always the best player on the court. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t going to just take the 8-10 minutes that TJD is resting. He will take minutes from other guys too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a lot of their games and he was always the best player on the court. With the NIL, I just don't see him leaving after 2 years, one being playing behind an All Conference and a 5th year Senior in Trayce and Race. I'll also add that, if he was planning on going pro ASAP, I think he would've went somewhere with less competition in front of him. He's not uber athletic or quick. I just don't think he's a top prospect for the NBA. Those 5 star kids get drafted because they are freak athletics and have so much potential. I'm not saying he won't be a good player, or isn't already. He just doesn't have that super high ceiling. Hell, everyone thought Trayce would be gone after a year. I could see Reneau being like that guard out of Villanova a few years ago. Got drafted late as a senior. Did nothing but win. Just solid all around. Nothing flashy, not overly athletic. Just a damn good ball player. Unfortunately, the NBA wants their 1st rounders to have crazy potential. Look at a kid like Booker. Shoots the 3, handles pretty decent, crazy long, etc. That's the kid the NBA wants with their 1st round pick. Would Booker be a better NBA player? Who knows. But the risk is probably worth the reward with a kid like Booker. Edited June 14, 2022 by ephul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
