Talent wise it would be great but I don't know if you can coach out his shot selection and attitude 

He did it with X

Who was that really made his life difficult when we played them?  Wasn't it Kopp and Galloway kinda duo?  He was 4-13 and visibly frustrated 

Gallo i believe 

I dont want essigian lmao way better guards out there. He fits perfectly at wisconsin tbh

No offense but Woody isn’t exactly batting 1000 so far. He’s had some swing and misses. Kopp, Bates, didnt get much out of Lander or Geronimo and brought them back. I’ve felt a lot better about our recruiting targets then our transfer targets. I hope we improve but man I’m not exactly ecstatic about the guys in the portal we are targeting.

Are you actually complaining about us targeting top portal

talent? Lmao 

I mean you’re going to know when someone commits. IUBB social media is pretty much alive and everywhere at all times.

No. No. No. He played the 3 last year because they brought in Garcia to play the 4. Lots of conversation among Gophers fans that it didn't go well. Playing out of position, and injuries, were a big part of his drop off last year. Doesn't have a great handle and isn't great at creating. Can't guard quicker 3s.

Noted lol

I hope you are on your own on that one.  I feel the need, the need for speed.   

While i agree i haven’t seen us talk to many other wings at the moment

Who's the 4 at that point? 

Ledlum 4 MR 5, but i know were high on shedrick so 

I would like to see battle at the 3 

There it is 

Battle is good and he likes iu why are we arguing lmao

I don't think Battle is a great fit for this team. He's a pretty inefficient scorer and doesn't play defense/rebound well. He'd probably be an upgrade from Kopp at the 3 in the scoring department but he's not as good of a set shooter. I think he would struggle guarding most 4's in a small ball lineup.

Ledlum would be my preferred choice. I think he's capable playing the other forward spot in a small ball lineup but also good enough to play out on the wing if Woodson decides to play a more traditional lineup like he has the last two years. If IU is somehow able to lock up Ledlum, Sparks, and Shedrick by the end of the week it settles the frontcourt issues and IU has a chance to really hone in on an athletic 2 guard. 

Defense can be taught

In a respectful way..we aren't getting Sparks, Ledlum AND Battle. 

I understand lol Dc seems like we’re in a good spot with the first 3 so battle was just being greedy

Ledlum

Shedrick

Sparks

These 3 seem pretty realistic as of now. 

This plus battle is my realistic want. Not sure how that would work out though.

If JG can find a coach that is able to push the right buttons, I can see him contributing at a P6 school.  

He needs lob sets ran for him.

So you call yours “the needle?” 🤣

I noticed that about Rabjohns too. Maybe some smoke there?  

Apparently kenya was his lead recruiter when he was a nebraska. Seems like we have the right connections. We also recruited him in 2019 as well.

Sparks is a good player so I don’t blame the staff for going for him.  He gives you a Zach Randolph feel.   I think he’s too good to say he doesn’t fit.   Get really good players first and foremost.  We can make it work.

I’d still like to get more mobile and athletic at the 2-4 positions even with Sparks.   Every good team has that.  

We need bigs. Hed be a great bench big. It’s that simple

Smith had a win share/40 of .174

That is Yogi’s career average 

Yogi wasn’t throwing the ball to a unstoppable 7’4 guy to get easy assists tho lmao
