He’s played in 8 games and the max is 9 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IUwins0708 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 By all accounts he’s still happy here as well. Was told he LOVES Woodson. Watch out for a transfer portal now since I’ve just posted this.🤦♂️ 7 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Is he practicing? I saw footage on 'The Journey; last week on BTN that showed him practicing. I assumed it was fairly recent footage, but maybe it was from earlier in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippopotamo Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I really hope Lander can become a contributor here before he graduates. I think his talent is exactly what we need and could be really good if he can become even a passable defender. Plus it seems like he has a great attitude all things considered. Easy kid to root for. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) If he can make progress in the weight room and develop a consistent jumper, he can become REALLY good. I’m sure Coach Woodson is telling him his time is coming. If you look at how CMW distributes the guard minutes, Lander can see he will have a chance if he works. Nothing will be handed to anyone, though, and that’s how every player should want it. That rule applies to you but it also applies to the next guy who will have to earn it too (if he wants to beat you out). It's fair both directions.

The thing about Coach Woodson and credibility he's played and coached at the highest level for 4-5 decades. He knows exactly what the kid needs to do to get to the next level in their game. Players and their families have to know he's (CMW) is right. I'm a Lander fan and really want his time to come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 30 minutes ago, rico said: No and nor has any part of his game screamed early entry into the NCAA to me. Agreed. Me thinks that was a desperate move by Miller to quell the alum base with how things were going by getting a top Indiana HS recruit to commit early....also because he had poorly constructed his roster and had Rob as the only point guard on it (who also clearly plays better off the ball then on it). Should have definitely had at least brought in one in the portal. Lander had no business coming in early nor playing last year but to me it was done to try to save face and build will towards Archie getting another year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lot of promise in high school/AAU footage. I think his size and youth put him behind the eight ball and you can argue that he was a bad candidate for early entry, but I get it from his perspective...that early year at the college level is bound to be more beneficial than a senior year in high school playing for a mediocre coach. While I don't know that Khristian thought that about his high school coach, it's certainly possible and I believe likely. At a minimum, Khristian is practicing with and against much more talented players and that's nearly always a good thing. Khristian likely knew there were parts of his game that needed more development and I suspect his plan is a little more long term than some of those around him that are supposedly grumbling about his progress and playing time. We'll eventually see how the story ends, but if he stays with it at IU, I see good things in his future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Archie and staff did a huge disservice to this young man. All out of fear. More reason to dislike Archie's tenure. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lander will have been in Woody's system almost 2 years, be a bit older, and more importantly will have had 3 years with Clif Coach Woody has a specific way he wants his point guards to play...KL has a head start there...
