  1. Offensively, yes he has shown a lot of promise. Defensively he is still a mess (though less so than at the start of the year). His lack of awareness and lateral quickness kill him guarding wings, but he has the size and frame to be competent guarding college 4s. I look at Mgbako and see Christian Watford. I hope Woodson does too.
  2. I have mixed feelings on that potential lineup. I agree that those guys could form an elite offensive unit, with the right PG. And Trey at the 2 works fine if he's surrounded by plus shooters. But defensively and on the glass, that unit will get lit up unless there are significant jumps from Reneau and Mgbako on that end. At least it would be more enjoyable to watch than this year's brand of basketball.
  3. I agreed with the decision to let Crean go, not trying to re-litigate that. My point is Crean's results were pretty good, just not good enough for an elite program. IU still saw itself as an elite program then. I'm not sure we (or anyone else) sees us that way anymore.
  4. For sure we are a worse program today. Crean got fired because IU saw itself as an elite program with elite standards. Three Sweet 16s wasn't considered good enough without deeper runs, and with a couple of bad years mixed in. Now that we've seen how bad it can really get, I think our standards are lower. If a new coach comes in and matches Crean's resume (minus the first 2-3 years) - does he get fired? I doubt it.
  5. Agree, I think Geronimo is a prototypical college 4, and I am extremely high on his potential there. I expect TJD/Race/Geronimo to eat up the vast majority of the post minutes on this team. Kopp on the other hand I see as a 3, who can give you spot minutes at the 4 in certain lineups. I saw Hunter the same way honestly.
  6. PC? What are you talking about? He committed a crime and now will serve his punishment, that's fair. I'm curious, did you read the article? Caleb's story is being born into absolute shit, getting an opportunity and working his tail off to pull himself out of that situation, and now relapsing. Ha ha, I guess? Do you laugh when alcoholics relapse too?
  7. Yea, hard to see a significant role for both Durr and Duncomb. Would be great if a talented kid like Duncomb is open to redshirt.
  8. The kid was dealt an awful hand in life, he overcame it for a little while at least. I'm rooting for him to overcome it again. I hope that those making fun of him would at least read this article about his upbringing. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/18523734/purdue-caleb-swanigan-overcoming-obesity-homelessness-become-big-nba-prospect
