I don't really put much validity to the "way too early" polls of any kind. Until we see it manifest itself on the floor, it's just mental masturbation IMO. You guys can have fun with it, just not my thing. Yeah, I like to speculate a little, but usually it's based on some kind of past performance.

I didn't see your vote in the poll, but yeah, I think Galloway is as good a candidate as any at this point. He's just gotten better and better at IU and I liked him before he played his first real game. He would already be an IU legend if he'd pulled off that posterizing attempt on Edey.

He just needs to learn to shoot off the dribble instead of trying to get all the way to the basket I'm with you on he can't shoot off the dribble, but he made more than a few under duress last year... And I forgot to mention, Jakai said he was impressed with CJ's defense so far... CJ has the tools (needs to get stronger) and the attitude on that end...

Got the chance to meet him at a Bob Knight basketball camp back when I was a kid. I’ve never met a guy who’s as kind and humble yet successful as Calbert. One of a kind type of dude. Wish we brought him back a long time ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it came out it had to do with Crean's style and also not bringing together the old guard more in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I celebrate you, I recognize your hard work as your mentor/teacher/coach/trainer" Bench press, even in the NFL, really isn't a good barometer of good vs bad. But, it does show who busts it in the weightroom. There's plenty of cats on that list that have made a pretty penny playing basketball.

Very physical player with a high motor... And those games were after coming back from his knee injury... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not it improves BB ability or prevents injury - I have no idea. As far as being muscled up, remember Jim Rowinski at pu? Not a bad playeras I recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) i always fear that rapid muscle increase is going to mess with their mechanics. Not sure there is any correlation but when guys go from shooting well in HS to not being able to hit water in college after getting bigger, just makes me think.

I don't think those two added "rapid muscle", though. Added muscle sure, but those two were freaks when they got here. The only thing that would bother their shot is if they did an arm work out, or maybe a heavy chest work near a game day. I'm confident we have competent enough individuals running the show to not allow that. Outside of Romeo, who should have had his wrist surgery in HS, I can't think of a lot of examples of guys that shot well to really well in HS and didn't shoot well in college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogi was freaking jacked. He had one of the best stop on a dime jump shots I have ever seen. And good points, these two came to Bloomington extremely well put together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
