Will be interesting to see Bates vs TG & Gunn for minutes by big ten time 

 

 

Agreed. And also, Kopp's minutes, depending on how each of these players is shooting and playing. I think Miller may need to shoot better than the 36.1% from 3 that he did last year to hold onto his minutes. When you consider that over his four years in college, he has shot .360 from 3 overall, it's not a sure thing that he improves.  

I tried telling people during the offseason that Reneau is already better, at least offensively, than Race or Jordan, and the idea that he's going to have considerably less playing time than them isn't in the team's best interest. If you watch Malik's high school games against high-level competition, his offensive skills jump out at you. It's going to be interesting to see what happens with his playing time. He's a first-team all-Big Ten kind of talent and is very advanced for a freshman.

Win this week and the grand scheme of things, no there isn't. 

The first line I've seen has Maryland as a 10.5 point favorite in Bloomington. Are you predicting Indiana will pull off the upset?

I like the evaluations from @PointGuardEyes. Hope he does all our commits.

Me, too. The part of this evaluation that jumps out to me in watching Harris-Smith's highlights is his unusual strength and determination in getting to the basket. He will not be stopped. Trying to think of an IU comp, one of Mike Woodson's best friends, the late Wayne Radford comes to mind.

Sounds like another IU recruit from Paul VI, Stanford Robinson. (although Robinson transferred to Findlay Prep)

Looks much better than Stanford Robinson to me. It helped watching the video embedded in this profile: https://www.insidethehall.com/recruit-profile-deshawn-harris-smith/

I’m all for setting this kid up for success at whatever position makes that possible but this doesn’t exactly set IUFB up for the future. If Bazelak doesn’t want a 5th year, transfers, gets hurt, we have no one to take over the helm for 2023. Seems like the risk/reward really isn’t there. Hopefully CB has indicated to the staff that he’s here for at least one more year even if he doesn’t beat out Tuttle this season and we can recruit a top QB talent for 2023. 

 

 

 

Doesn't this position change likely mean Dexter Williams (a redshirt sophomore who was injured last season) was in front of McCulley on the depth chart and is next in line?  

Last year's No. 33 pick, Jason Preston of Ohio, signed a 3 year 4.4 million contact with the Clippers, including $2.6 million (2 years) guaranteed and a first year salary of $1,062,303.  https://www.spotrac.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/jason-preston-74140/

Just going through the draft process. It was mentioned on BTBers that if he isn't top 33-35, he is coming back to IU.

That would make a lot of sense because that's about how far down a player can be picked, I think, and expect to get a guaranteed contract based on recent drafts.

Developing a three-point shot will give him more opportunities to drive past defenders and do just that.  

I got to attend one of the games late in the season and watched Galloway in pregame warmups as he hit most of the 3s he attempted. That's not the same as doing it in a game obviously, but gave me some hope that the potential is there.

Didn't fill the stat sheet, but Leal played some good minutes. Don't remember him getting beat on defense, made some nice passes into the paint, and hit a 3.

Good for him !

I think Leal makes a difference with how much and how quickly he moves without ball. Makes some good passes, too.

I was just getting ready to ask about sling as I am setting up service now. It looks like if you get orange package you get all three ESPN channels but no ESPN with blue package. But in order to get Big Ten Network you have to add the sports extra but you only get big 10 network if you add it to the blue package. Is that correct?

ugh
