They get him, a defensive-hard nose-good PG, and some shooting and I think we're cookin'. This isn't rocket science we need to get guys that fit NEEDS and besides the overly mentioned shooting, DEFENSE is what was desperately missing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She referred to Steve Eyl a lot as an example. Thinking back on how much she talked about him, I think she thought he was a hotty too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRSMick55 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 3 hours ago, IU Scott said: I listened to Doyle on the radio today and he was at the ISU game last night. He had heard that most of the top players would go to SLU with the coach. I don't think Doyle knows that much and is a hack. I would tend think the same thing, most of top players would more than likely transfer to SLU or as a group stay together at ISU. I think wishful thinking on all you thinking Conway would want to come to IU. Maybe if they threw a ton of NIL $ and he really wanted to go to IU out of high school. I’m skeptical. I’d welcome him gladly but don’t see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like Williams would be able to replace Ware’s production on the boards and defensively - maybe a small step up defensively. But he’d be a step back on offense, and would cause even worse spacing problems since Ware could shoot well from 3. Feels like that’d be leaning in even more to the 2 post sets which I’m not a fan of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it's not ideal, but our best players have been inside guys, so you have to play them. We need shooting, no doubt but we need another inside guy too. At this point we have zero defense underneath. Hopefully we get a more well rounded roster, but we were bound to get at least one inside guy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post btownqb Posted April 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 4 (edited) Guys... getting Carlyle and Tucker would be fantastic. They seem like they'll be on college campuses for two more years. I mean, and for good reason, we are frustrated as heck with Woodson not bringing in enough guards/wings/and youth... those two would suffice all that. Also... it's possible SO Carlyle > FR Boogie Fland Edited April 4 by btownqb 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
