Watching some of that it looks like Kopp is going to be a big addition for the Hoosiers this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 It took me awhile to identify Jordan Geromino. He seems much leaner than he was last year. He certainly hit the boards. TJD was all over the court doing all kinds of little things as well as the big things. Kopp was the man. He fits this team very well. Coach MW was right that they need a lot of work, but their defense is clearly very good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 On a more serious note, I like that Woodson discussed how much the offense needed to improve from where it was when he was hired. I noted that our returning sophomores weren't really putting it in the hole (likely because of last year's coaching). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 CMW was right about the Offense, a long way to go. I thought we look awful in the clips. To much dribbling, weak screens and passing. I didnt see NPOY from TJD, I saw a lot of balls tipped to him for easy put backs but nothing that screams NPOY. Rob looked like the same ol' Rob. Dribble no where and throw it away. . But its early in practice. Bates and Kopp were the 2 best players on the court. On D the ball pressure was great. Only issue was the weak side defender got caught moving in to help to many times and left wide open 3's. Reasons for the trip were accomplished. Get practice time, play a couple of games and get some teaching film. I hope to see a lot sharper offense when the season starts. A lot to be excited about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostin76 Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Salute to the dude (Sean C.) who posted those videos. My wife had plans to meet a friend for brunch/shopping this morning/afternoon and I planned on just smoking a bowl and spinning some albums. Opened up HSN and found the links to the game videos and my day was made. Team looks much more energized and just generally into the game. Bates is going to be REALLY, really good. TJD and Race are as expected. Geronimo could also be really special - he just looks dialed in every time. Kopp was the one that really stood out to me - besides Bates. At 9:39 in second half when he forced the turnover, dribbled down the court, and then nailed a three. More of that, please. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that there is an emphasis on scoring the basketball multiple ways. I hated how we played and probably only watched half the games the last two seasons. Right we have one player uber talented player. Line that up against MBs team.. Race does not sniff the starting lineup. I'm just trying to make a general statement.

BobSaccamanno Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I was able to watch Cavanaugh’s YouTube videos, which were awesome. 1. Overall a very impressive performance. The team was noticeably more energized. 2. I think they are learning the defense well. Very few breakdowns and they knew where to switch and rotate. 3. Offense was much more decisive than last year. They saw an opportunity and boom they acted. 4. TJD was very impressive. Pretty self-explanatory. Looked more athletic than ever. Good quickness. 5. Bates is the whole package. Good length and has very good quickness. What really stood out was his ball handling. It’s ready. Good motor too. He should be starting soon, or at the least getting the most minutes there. With his length, handle, motor, skill, he probably has the highest ceiling and highest NBA stock. 6. Miller Kopp was outstanding on offense. Was an excellent scorer. However, he’s not a capable rebounder. He can’t capitalize in that area. He’s not out there for his defense either. Having said all that, we don’t need five extremely well rounded players. We need five guys who know their roles and complement each other. That is the IU ball we need to get back to. 7. Geronimo is like the opposite of Kopp. Not an advanced offensive player but he hustles like crazy and is a magnet to the ball, both on rebounds and loose balls. Love his motor. 8. Phin got too much run. No need for that. He’s very good on the ball for D, and the coaches are probably enamored with that. But he gives up a lot elsewhere. I think his role should be as a shutdown defender where we have trouble containing a guard. He can also be a progress stopper to some of the younger guys. 9. Stewart looked lethargic. He can’t afford to play like that. Get the aggressiveness back or he’s going to watch Bates a ton. His lack of quickness on D might be an issue too, at his position. Maybe he needs to go into a sixth man, swing man role. Stewart and Phin might need the right kind of matchups. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
