TJD is our FIVE.

Understand that? We aren’t getting a starting five.  
 

Four out and one in means what to you? It means your four must be able to shoot. Gonzaga and Baylor started a 6’7” and 6’5” at the four last year.  Just 🛑 

 

 

Holy s*** Batman. You are absolutely correct. That 🛑 .... you got me there. how could I possibly have my own opinion now.
maybe reread my post for comprehension

Definitely dont love it. Dont even know if i like it. I think Hunter could do a better job than what Kopp is offering overall. Seems like a step in the wrong direction, albeit a very very small step. i would have rather seen a starter and not a role player fill the spot if in fact someone is/has to move on. More so an actually big man that can step out. Kopp is a tweener, not quite fits the bill of a 4.

However, in the coaching staff i trust. They havent done anything to this point for me to question.

Your last sentence is spot on. We'll see how things shake out on playing time, minutes, incoming transfers.....probably an outgoing transfer will happen but we've changed this roster over along with style of play in less than a month. Couldn't be happier to see the momentum created inside this program within 30 days.

who do you see as the outgoing transfer?

definitely possible.  kinda like i said when people were so big on Leal, Galloway, Lander, and Geronimo.  i like those guys and hope they pan out, but we got awful excited when they did anything good because we were a little desperate to look at something positive!  

Maybe a little of that, but i think its much more to do with the fact they are freshman and seem to have potential. I dont think people would have gotten excited if they were seniors.

Who are we after in the portal? Any prediction on who we’re getting? If anyone.

Yah, it’s been kinda boring around here lately

I assume wrong thread?

no, i guess i didnt reply to dgambill's comment above. But i have seen the concerns everywhere. People stating that these transfer rules are going to change the game. But isnt the current transfer rules temporary?

Isnt the free for all open transfer market done after this year (assuming they vote and pass it for even this year)? My understanding is that the transfer rules will go back to "normal" as in the requirements for sitting out a year will resume.

I think it’s mandatory for athletes to put their name in the transfer portal 

Seems as though you are correct. Deleting comment now before 15 other people correct my moment of weakness.

It will be interesting to see what names pop up in the next couple of days that we have reached out to. 

Is there a list of that somewhere?

I don’t get that. One choose to not be part of our family after experiencing all the love and support and the other sees it and ran to us! We are IU fans...not NCAA fans...I only got room in my life for IU. Just like Kaufman... I opened up my heart to him and he chose another program. Don’t hate the kid and that’s his right...but I don’t owe him anything...unless we got have well wishes for everyone else on Virginia’s team.

Understood. I am no longer a fan of Armaan nor will I root for him. My point is.... it’s a two way street. They come and they go. Some of the comments are spiteful. That’s not really needed. Al didn’t this reaction.

So at this point, we've essentially traded 

Al and Armaan 

for 

Parker and Xavier 

Opinions on how we came out?

Al was gone either way, and Parker has been here for months. I look at it as XJ for Armaan. I wouldn’t make that trade. The way you laid it out it definitely closes that gap. hopefully we can get back in the portal. We seem light at the 2/3 spot. 

You can’t be salty and “good riddance” to Armaan while accepting XJ in the same breath. You win some you lose some. Hate to see him go. Good luck to Armaan.

sorry.  i meant can Brooks play the 3?  i have never seen Brooks play.  looking at his 3 point % i would think that would be rough alongside Thompson, but as i said, i am a fan of putting my 5 best players on the floor regardless of position.  i'm not as big of a fan of Hunter as most people and i want to see what Stewart brings.  sorry, i definitely don't see Race as a wing.  

no worries. it seems to me that if Armaan comes back, we will finally be in a position that we have too many players to play and dont know where to put them. Me having a simplistic basketball mind, i would hope that KB could develop a respectable (+/-30%) 3pt shot and maybe transition to the 3 and play solid minutes there.  Seems like we are the weakest at the 3 spot as it currently stands.

It's not just about their three point shooting. Brooks can take people off the dribble from the perimeter and will cut baseline a lot off of drives, that isn't how Race plays at all. 

If Brooks were to come, I'm not sure how you can look at him as anything other than a stretch 4, while Race hasn't shown any "stretch" to his game. 

I havent watched keion brooks any really. It sounds like KB is like a Justin Smith 2.0? But better at the mid range J's?

This website seems to track the transfer portal by the second.

Nimari Burnett to Bama

peegs has an article about a new name to add to the list of potential assistant coach candidates. I wasnt aware there was an actual list floating around? Is lewis still an option? who are the others? Mike Roberts is still on staff, i would like to believe we could get a more "valuable" assistant to take his place...?

awesome, senseless reply lol

He’s also the one that suggested Thompson starting at the 3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can attest its beautiful. I work downtown Naples but I live in Estero because the housing costs are astronomical...and I bought over a year ago before SW Florida became the hottest real estate market in the country. We have realters mailing us everyday asking us to sell and homes are selling 10-15% over asking price. I was told my house could fetch another 40k over what I bought it for last year (but where would I go??) It's wonderful that we basically haven't had all our freedoms destroyed and been almost entirely open since the pandemic started. Add the sun, the beach, probably more restaurants per capita than anywhere I've ever been and its pretty nice! I just hope all the people moving down here to get away from their high taxes and their govt overreach leave their politics back north with them so we can continue to live in the "paradise" we all came here for. If anyone knows of an IU hangout for game days let me know. I'd love to meet up with fun IU fans....once we are winning again.....for now I choose to watch at home where I can be miserable and complain all I want in peace.

You dont work for Collier County Building Department do you? lol🙄

Every guy on a 12-15 team is expendable.  Every. Last. One. 

I know its a hard concept, but there is an idea out there that in a team environment, you could possibly have some winning pieces. And to add to those winning pieces with other pieces may earn you a high caliber team.

To say every player on a 12-15 team in expendable is silly. 

Let's just get rid of everyone on the team, and not have a basketball team until we can recruit 5 new players to come in. we have LD for next year. and we will have a 2 man squad for '22.

Being what guy? I don’t beat around the bush! 

I get the sentiment, but I am not sure there is a college athlete that does not have the help of or consider their family’s opinion in their decision making.
