  1. A little surprised...at this stage in the portal/recruiting....we seem to find NBA-type versatile bigs pretty easily... but can't find a solid 2 that can knock down 3's yet.
  2. I know everyone has said Mgbako is gonna play the 3....but I'm honestly not sold on it. Kind of think 2/3 he, Malik, and Ware will split time and be used pretty interchangably, with Sparks and Walker being used situationally. If this were the case...then I think Spencer would be a perfect 3rd guard.
  3. KenPom has us at 12. I find it humerous that certain writers are calling our 13th ranking in polls "extremely generous". Just an objective look at our previous season and returning minutes/scoring should place us near where we are. Let's face it...that's how media and the internet works. If the same writer says..."I'm not as comfortable putting them that high, so I put them at 20 until I see someone who can hit an outside shot" then none of us are clicking on the article.
  4. I don't like it when done to extremes. (6 guys for 3 spots) However- if basically got 4 commitments from lets say Cupps, Newton, Kaiser, and Page, would we accept a late commitment from Booker? I think we all know the answer to that.
  5. Not gonna lie I dont' get why we're seemingly giving up on Carr- but going all-in on on Harris-Smith.
  6. I guess I'm more thinking that McGary was initially a guy that people felt potential wasn't worth the baggage....then exploded in a spring/summer and people felt otherwise. I think initially he was a 100-150 ranked recruit and I think he once shot up to the top 15 before dropping to the 20-30 range.
  7. The other day, I was thinking that the things people are saying about Booker(low motor- doesn't love basketball) kind of reminds me of Mitch McGary.
  8. Yup And don't forget about Watford. Move him to the 3, and he'll be Scottie Pippen/Grant Hill. Nothing against Watford, but there was a reason he played the position he did, as there was also a reason Perea/Jurkin sat on the bench
  9. It's the offseason...and the discussion always veers into... If we could just take our center and play him at his true position...the 4...he'll flourish.... And then we can take our power forward and move him to the 3 where he always belonged.... And then we can move our small forward to his natural spot at the 2 because I saw something on twitter where he did a couple of shooting drills.
  10. There are many teams that have better shooters than we have. Shooting is definitely a weakness. Are there that many teams with wings that are bigger and better defenders than a guy like JHS?
  11. I understand why Purdue's season can be viewed as disappointing, but if we get a 3 seed and make the sweet 16, I won't be disappointed.
  12. Bart Torvik's numbers are here https://barttorvik.com/rosters23.php?team=Indiana&year=2022 I don't agree with all of these, but I do think this is a healthy counterbalance to the message board crowd that often prefers potential over experience. (Although I have a hard time envisioning Kopp getting 26 min, while Geronimo gets 7.)
  13. JHS will be the backup point- even if he starts. He will likely be the point guard when XJ is out, and we'll likely almost always have one or the other on the floor. Shooting will be the likely weakness of this team. If Bates can emerge the way Arman Franklin did two years ago, it would help a great deal. Woody is pretty conservative on his starting lineups. XJ, Race, and TJD are virtual locks. He'll likely start Kopp in the beginning of the year. The final spot...probably TB or JHS. Galloway wouldn't shock me either. By the time the Big Ten season starts. I'll be interested in who starts at the 2 and 3. I think Kopp and JHS are the most likely, but Bates and Galloway could be in there too.
  14. We've had a lot of flops lately in the last two classes. Lander was obviously a bust. Early returns on Bates and Duncomb were underwhelming. Don't we have to get a little lucky at some point and get a diamond in the rough?
  15. With JHS and Cupps....not completely devastating to loose out on a point guard....even if he was damn good
