Indykev Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Never a doubt but still glad to see it in writing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawatchHoosier Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 This is terrific news most importantly for XJs health and future! Like others have said having this finally on paper is awesome! Indiana can also tell transfer candidates that this is 100% going to be your PG next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Agree with others, there was never really a doubt on this. The staff knew. With that said, I almost view XJ as part of the transfer class, in terms of us getting a point guard we didn't really plan on having. This is a win, and even a bit of a recruiting win in terms of getting XJ to come back. He easily could have moved on from college basketball or transfered with most of his guys leaving. To me, at this point our class is: XJ Cupps Newton Ware Sparks 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But imagine getting a transfer that sat on the bench next to your coaching staff for 30 games last season. Every game he was sitting next to Woody, Walsh, Rosemond and Hunter. I have to believe he learned a lot watching 30 games last season. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a better pg we could have gotten from the portal, especially when you factor in the elements you mentioned. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Great news and have 3 starters with XJ, Reneau and Ware and need to fill the other two spots from the portal or hope for some player development from last year's players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he probably will but for me for IU to be it's best you need players better than Galloway on the starting lineup. Also with how hard he plays he would be better in less time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you think XJ would think that...XJ's job will be to run the team, lead, and play lockdown D... XJ and Galloway would probably be the best defensive back court in the Big 10. Trey shot 46% from 3 last year, and, as Woody is fond of saying, "does the dirty work you need to win." I'm not sure why some of you think Galloway isn't a good player. He is... And I expect he'll be even better this coming year... Not everyone on a basketball floor is out there to score a ton of points... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone on a basketball floor is out there to score a ton of points... Who ever said he wasn't a good play. Nothing wrong being a top 6than and a lot of players made a great living being a 6th man. Also all his 3's are wide open 3's and he needs plenty of room to get his shot off. Don't remember very many pull up jumpers because it was either a open 3 or taking the ball all the way to the basket. Like I have said Galloway as a starter will get you 20-11 and losing in the first or 2nd round. If you want more then you need an upgrade 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want more then you need an upgrade I compare Galloway to Steve Eyl and Eyl actually contributed more as a reserve than when he started. It would remind.me of the 87 team if Eyl and Hilman had to start instead of getting Smart and Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone on a basketball floor is out there to score a ton of points... Returning PPG: Galloway. 6.7 Reneau. 6.1 Ware 6.6 Gunn 2.0 Banks 2.0 Sparks 13.3 Leal 0.2 That’s 37 points, but some will add scoring with more playing time. I really like Gallo as a player, but he played 28 mpg last year and averaged 6.7. Just don’t see him making a huge leap in scoring. The current roster puts a lot of pressure on XJ to score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right but I don't think that is the best thing for IU. If we don't upgrade over the 2-3 position from last year we won't be as good as last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhunter Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 The way it looks Galloway is a starter now that we missed on the other recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I think X is coming back to IU because of Woody and a chance to show he has matured and can run a good team. X has always had that "it" factor, and all he needs to be is smart and consistent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
