IU Scott

Driving, no, but the same plane that went to Laporte from Bloomington this morning at 6 am, landed at Indy regional (12 northeast of the city) about an hour ago...short drive to Greenfield...

Be looking for a flight plan from Indy regional to Huntingburg airport this afternoon 

 

That is probably the Mount Comfort Airport which is probably 6 miles from Greenfield

3.5hr drive Bloomington to LaPorte-- 215 miles

2hr 55 min drive LaPorte to Greenfield- 170 miles 

3hr 5min drive Greenfield to Heritage Hills- 165 miles 

 

It's not even doable in a day. 

Last week in the morning I drove from Indy to Kokomo and back to Indy. In the after noon I went from Indy to Salem then back to Indy. Actually was in Brownstown twice last week.

Dont you have to recruit the state harder to lock it down?

It seems like to me they are recruiting the state pretty hard today with visits to see Harrelson, Mullins and Sisley.

I still think we need to find a true point guard. Rice may be an OK part time at the 1, Cupps isn't even close to being a true PG (yet), and I'd rather have Gallo @ 2-3.

We've got the opening, just need to fill it. Seems like most of the attention in the portal is 2-5 positions. (we needed those as well, but I'd like a knock down shooter point guard)

Rice is a true point guard

Bloomington to Fishers to Greenfield to Heritage Hills is a haul 

Is Harrelson home in Fishers or at school at La Lamueir

Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez with a great outing . 7IP 0 runs 2 hits 86 pitches. Can't believe they took him out. He has now went 25 straight scoreless innings and came off a complete game shutout.

I am starting to wonder if Hunter Green will ever reach his potential. He can throw 98-100 and has a good slider but he can't put it all together. Tonight he has given up 4 runs in 4.1 innings and still had runners on. Reds down 4-0 to the Phillies

That is Goode news

How come we’re not seeing anything about players like Somto Cyril or Brandon Garrison? There are plenty of minutes to be had at the 4-5.

I doubt those two would be willing to come off the bench. I wish we could convince Payne to come here and come off the bench and the hen start the following year

Back at the subject, Goode would slot nicely into the current roster.  Would be tough for me seeing him play the 4 unless you're temporarily going small.  Looks like a natural 3 to me.  I don't remember Miller Kopp being a real effective 4 in IU's system.

I hate the idea of waiting a whole week to resolve this one, but I guess there are enough open spots to give him a week.  Just seems silly when he likely already knows.

I can see a rotation where Goode comes in for Reneau and we move MM to the 4 with Ballo. Later Reneau comes in for Ballo so you can have 4 guys rotating for 3 spots

They still have a shot to earn playing time but there should have been more competition. 

This isn't a church league.  You play win, not make sure everyone gets a shot.

We always played to win in our church league

Do you have a link to those stats one percentage of schools that don't use all 13 scholarships?  I would have guessed most schools use all of them.  

I don't recall very many years where IU went through a season with an open scholarship but don't follow other schools to know if that's normal.

I heard  people talking about coach K didn't use all 13 scholarships

It was the circumstances. IU had insufficient guard depth and experience in 22/23 when XJ got injured. They had even less last season when he was injured again. Filling the 13th scholarship doesn't necessarily mean it's the last guy off the bench.

I know but if we get Goode and another big it wouldn't be the end of the world not using the last scholarship. If your 10-12 players are Cupps, Newton and Leal your roster is pretty good. It is going to get harder to fill all of your spots because players aren't transferring to sit the bench

I bet their is no other fan base that worries more about who the 13th scholarship player will be on our team. A lot of programs don't ever use the 13 scholarships but our fans goes ballistic if we don't use it.

So is Goode a higher priority over Anderson?

Goode: 5.7 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 0.6 APG, 39.7 FG%, 38.9 3FG%

Anderson: 12.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 1.9 APG, 48.2 FG%, 45.9 3FG%

Of course, Goode is playing against tougher competition, at least in conference.  

Take it for what it is worth but on the other site Chris said that Anderson is looking for more playing time than IU can offer

Besides the shooting the thing I always liked about Goode is how hard he plays and he plays with enthusiasm. He also seems like a vocal leader on the court as well as in the huddles.

I think there's a goode chance the Goode puns get old really fast. 🤣

Probably a Goode chance of that

I think it is a Goode bet that he ends up at IU

Most nights when the Pacers only give up 109 points they win easily. Tonight if they shot their average they win this game. They went 8-39 from 3 and only shot 38% from the field. The Pacers hit more two's and 1 more free throws but hit 6 less 3's.

So much for the Pirates hot start 9-2, they are now 11-11

Carlisle is acting like this is a January game at Detroit. There is no reason to start the 4th quarter with 4 bench players. He has played 11 or 12 players tonight. Most coaches cut their rotation down in the playoffs

I don’t think they can afford to lose game two though. 

They have to win the next game. Also looking forward we still need a starting 2 and 3. I just don't think Neimhard should be a starting 2 on a playoff team

It is just one game so I wouldn't say the series is over. I have seen plenty of teams get blown out in game 1 and win the series

It has to be asked…who is the leader? Galloway might not be starting and Reneau doesn’t seem to have the temperament. We saw it a lot this year with X out. When Trayce and Race left….we lost a ton of leadership.

Thats a big part of how teams come together. A lot of new players.

Rice and Galloway
