My only retort is that every single time I try to find a way to discount Michigan, they prove me wrong. I hear you, but... Howard was 19-12 (10-10 in the B1G good for 9th in the conference) his first year, so I'm not ready to anoint him yet. He brought in 2 really good grad transfers and Dickinson made a splash as a freshman, so last year he did well...but losing core leadership like Livers, Brown, and Smith is going to have an impact.

I look at Illinois roster and I wonder who will be the guy that can knock down shots from distance? I don't see a lot of room for Kofi and Curbelo to operate in the lane. Teams are going to play them like they did Archie's IU teams...pack pack it in. Of course we have some question marks about our shooting too but I have faith in some confidence returning to some of our guards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Da'Monte Williams will be looking to score more...he shot 54% 😯 from 3 last year taking only 2 per game... But I agree...sagging off Curbelo and his 16% 3 point shooting will hobble the Illini greatly in my estimation... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but think though that a team that puts good pressure on him and Curbelo in the backcourt could get a lot of easy baskets... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they will have the same deal going as IU if TJD and the PGs can't hit threes -- you've got a put a premium on shooters in the 2-4 spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 So, the annual preseason top 25 players on Inside The Hall has been getting released this week. Right now they're up to 15 and no Hoosiers on the list. I can't imagine anybody other than Trayce will make the Top 15. This got me thinking: who would I consider the 2nd best player on the team right now? I think I gotta go with Miller Kopp. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. As soon as I saw Max Christie at 23 I knew Bates wouldn't be making the ITH list. Scoop sure has a high ceiling though. Finger's crossed that he reaches it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see something like this list, and being it's Inside the Hall, I sometimes think they want so badly to give the appearance of objectivity, they lean away from picking IU players... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
