could both he and the kid from Iowa co-exist as starters?

They both shoot career 33% from three. Which i would take from my PG, especially T Perk who brings sooo much more. don't know anything about Walker's game.

If there is someone good available now, I want them to take them, rather than slow play a kid who would probably come now.  That seems to be more productive than chasing someone “better” who they won’t get anyway.

so first available. good not great. got it.

staff recruited him out of high school. I thought we made top 5. maybe still connection?

In other words, the same method that got them a 1 man recruiting class and 6 open scholarships.

what do you want? them to take the first 6 available?

Ok does it make me lesser of a man or I guess bad husband if I absolutely detest putting stuff together? We have a very generous MIL and occasionally she ships things. Last week we were sent some additional patio/deck furniture and chairs and other stuff.

Anyway my entire life (when I can afford) I buy preassembled. I hate putting stuff together. Almost makes my brain hurt. Anyway...she sent some chairs and tables and other stuff and all require assembling. I'm half tempted to return and pay the difference for assembled.

PS....she won't ever give us a gift card. 

I like do things like this from time to time. I have always been in the construction industry, now white collar side. Get a handy man, or the app taskrabbit. I think you can get people for like $30/hr on taskrabbit

Don’t look now, but it is possible to win with transfers.

Think back to about a month ago when all the message boards were being set on fire with people declaring all the players would be leaving the program. I think that storm has been weathered pretty well.

Wasn’t there something about gallo being unhappy and transferring? Hahah

I’ll add we need someone who can break down the defense and make them scramble as well as stay in front of the players that make IU scramble.

Perkins. 

SIAP. Hatfield. Visiting 4/12

Hate to get too excited, but with the addition of a couple of Elite guards we could be really good next year. 

 

How dare you hopeium or whatever

I'm just wondering it seems we are in on alot of front court players. Are there any backcourt players we are getting in on? 

Perkins. Not sure of who else

Just now, IUCrazy2 said:

Both of them are pretty good players but I don't think either would be worth dropping a million on.

depends what you got and if they are the 1 missing piece. If i were IU i'd pay $1M to both right now.

I don't mean to defend his roster decisions too much, but he did bring in Bates, Mgbako and Cupps - all of whom were billed as shooters coming in. Banks and Ware probably fit the bill, also.

was cupps?

4 minutes ago, 13th&Jackson said:

I get it, but he inherited a team that struggled with shooting. In three offseasons, he's brought in one transfer who had any reputation as a shooter (Kopp) and none were guards (XJ only guard transfer). We'll see if that changes in year 4.

part of that was shooting for the moon and coming up 5' short. We went toe to toe with some of the big dogs, which is encouraging. reset the sites and build from there.

I agree. You can knock him for having a bad roster. That is a legit beef. But the style of play is based on the guys on the floor.  His best player last year was TJD. His best players this year were Ware and Reneau. Not too many teams could stop either 1 on 1.  It would make no sense for this year's IU team to jack up 30 3's a game. If he has no shooters again this year or has shooters but offense still sucks...

But the main reason was because of the roster more than style of play. For them to play "modern" basketball this year, Ware and Reneau would both only play 5.  MM at 4, TG at 3, AL or CJ at 2 and Cupps at one. The problem is 1, 2 & 3 - can't or don't shoot or score consistently. Had to go to the double post again to get the best players on the floor. Watch the NBA (modern basketball). It's inside out. Teams try to score underneath, if they can't, they kick it out (quickly). The key is who you are kicking it out to has to be able to drain the open three. They definitely need to shoot more threes but in reality they just need to make more. 

We will find out a lot this year.

Sorry....this is BS. Anyone on any team would take the Million. only one NBA player on that team.

smith, fletcher instantly pop in my head. idk about anyone else.

Why not? Trey wasn’t a starter until this year. Perkins had about a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio. I don’t want a SG who can’t shoot but I’ll take a PG with a 4:1 assist to turnover all day, one that can defend and get to the rim. When fouled makes FT’s at a good clip.  

that with a 33% 3pt

28 minutes ago, Feathery said:

I think Woody knows he has to make some changes. And I think the inside out comment it’s getting taken way way way overboard. I’m watching the NCAA games and I’m seeing a ton of inside play. But there are shooters with the post players. Also athleticism in droves in the backcourt. I could definitely see us playing small ball some this year. See how the roster pans out.

What about Leland Walker then? And if Perkins is playing off ball like some have mentioned, then 3 shooting is not going to be improved whatsoever based on Perkins history. Not to beat a dead horse but IU needs shooting!! I am fine with bringing in tough nosed, not turnover prone PGs, but then we've got to 100% bring in some cold stone killer shooters. 

33% career 3pt shooter that can get to the rim, bull dog defender, distributer, creator, solid rebounder from the 1 or Jack Gohlke 37% 3pt shooter that just shoots 3s and and is a below average defender?

I see Perkins as more of a 2, kjnda like a more consistent version of Galloway...He can play the point, and did a lot for the Hawkeyes, but I just think he's more comfortable playing off the ball...

If Thornton becomes available, by all means for the one...

The Mack kid was pretty impressive against us...Sure, give him a look...

And I'm just gonna throw this name out there...Kanye Clary...The kid can play...I think there was some really hard feelings over Clary staying when Rhoades came on, then Rhoades switching to Ace Baldwin and staying with him when Clary got injured...Here's a comparison between Clary, Baldwin, and Mack...

Just something to consider...I don't think his dismissal from the team indicates that he's a bad apple...He just thought he got screwed coming off the injury...Stuff happens...But he's an immensely talented kid...

 

yes and yes. My only thing is T Perk is a couple ticks below behind the arc where I would want as my off ball 2. I had a couple other names like Clary, but it didnt feel right having T Perk down at 7 so i am going to tiers.

1) Malik Mack

2) Thornton, Dug McDaniel (hoping his issues with Michigan don't carry) type of player. Younger, good, quick, shot creator, distributor, 33%+ 3pt

3) Clary, Pegues type of player.  high volume scorer shoots 36-38% 3pt

4) T Perk.

I still don't feel right about this, but this is the best 4th option I can think of ever (unless @Zlinedavid 4th option was the Purdue cheerleader). I would still take him now if he wanted. I would play him at the 1.

CJ Gunn commits to Chris Holtmann and DePaul.

hope he goes there and kills it. Has the ability. needs to find a consistent shot.

Obviously there's no danger in his job but besides our friends in West Lafayette has any other team or program performed worse with being seeded so high each year in past few seasons?

 

I always thought Kansas was a big dog with little bite. I mean for everything they have accomplished with the 20 some Big 12 championships in a row and always seemingly seeded 1-4, they hadnt done much up until the ship 2 years ago.

someone younger like bruce thornton

There’s good things being said involving Perkins at the moment 

not my first choice. maybe third. but if it means solidifying, and another piece to sell to others, I am on board.

I will not be a happy camper if the Vikes trade the family farm to move up and get JJ.

Indiana 

are we not interested, or is he using IU top prop up his $?

Looks like he is productive with 35% ish 3pt
