Really seems like he's going to be a legitimate point threat this year. He looks really confident….steps into it with good form really puts pressure on the defense unless you have big guards to meet TJD at the rim or a pg who can contain XJ…..

Yep. He mentioned in the article not having the confidence before. I'm thinking that was an Archie problem.

"Lack of confidence" would be a pretty good description of Miller's IU teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Confidence is hours of practice seeing them go in then proving to your coach and teammates…..I think he is at this stage always liked Race type players who never have plays run for them but defend & rebound waiting for the occasional open shot or put back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 While exhibitions can be a tough predictor of things to come, I think we saw just about everything we could hope for this past week. - 2 (possibly 3) Freshmen look like they will be able to contribute meaningful minutes. [check] - Shooting appears to be better. Sure they are playing against inferior defenses and are more comfortable, but shots are going in. [check] - JHS. This kid seems to have a high ceiling. I knew he was good, but I’m not sure I expected him to be this good. Our missing piece has been a play maker for so many years. X started to show glimpses last season, but JHS seems to be a guy who won’t be sped up in the moment. We need that Keegan Murray/Ayo/Branham type killer. I can’t check this box yet, but if JHS is that guy, watch out B1G. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I mean this as a compliment, but Reneau reminds me of Julius Randle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Just re-watched the St Francis game, and to my surprise JHS got beat a lot. To his credit, it looked like he was in position most of the time, but got faked out by the SF guards using misdirection. I'm sure that will get corrected. Could also see the need for him to spread this arms more to appear to take up more space. But overall, he is the real deal. Would love to have him for another year after this.

I can’t check this box yet, but if JHS is that guy, watch out B1G. I don't know if JHS will be that type of scorer. However, I think he will be able to STOP those kind of scorers. That is also something that has been missing recently. This isn't aimed at you, just at the board in general: I'm glad people are getting on the Reneau train. I can't believe people thought he'd only be getting 15mpg and would be playing behind JG. He's good. Really good. We need him to get a lot of PT. This team replaced 3 mid-major players and an under performing senior with 2 borderline 5*s, another top 100 recruit, and a 3* who looks like he'll eventually be good. Should be a much better team this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury is out, but I'm in line at the betting window that he will be good. Maybe not double digit every night, but 8-10 consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidehoosier Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 D is top 10 and O is top 25. I believe these are weighted heavily on last years stats. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
