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 I like your approach. People may not be happy but there’s no tanking in college. We need to get ourselves in the best position possible with the roster. Always root for success no matter how pissed off people are. It’s not about the ego of being right. It’s for the success of the program and school. I don’t mean to come across as a lecture to others (not you since I am with you) but giving my personal opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who is developing and can protect the paint off the bench and be a starter in a future year. The kid from Duke also comes to mind. A guy who is ok with coming off the bench but growing in future years so we can build continuity. I think Woody can see himself in a handoff role where he can sell his tenure as a success if he puts us in a good position for the future. Save face and help the program.

Many times the opposing teams PG is the leader of the team (and an upperclassman) so it's imperative whomever we bring in is a good/great defender. Getting torched on defense was the biggest issue with our guard play, then the lack of shooting. Agree. A point guard who can keep the ball in front of him on D can really set the whole defense. Yes, shooting is an issue but, man, our defense was worse. Didn’t we give up close to 90 to Wisconsin? That needs corrected. The other issue is basketball IQ. For a tradition like ours, we need to really upgrade that as well. IMO Edited April 4 by BobSaccamanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please for the love of god get someone to lock down dudes lighting us up, running around the court showboating.

Why the harsh comments on this dude(I am not even gonna attempt to spell his name) I wish IU had players that play with half the passion he plays with. IU plays like Armond Hill on the sidelines, very little interest. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this a free board and opinions are well, opinions,…..but man you can really tell the character of some of these guys on here by their carefree, bold comments about players. I will be honest, I couldn’t stand watching Tominaga’s cocky play as he sliced up every IU defender. Though I don’t care for that kind of showboating after he scores, however, the most impressive thing about him was he could back it up. If he wore an IU jersey I would welcome him with open arms. He plays with heart, passion and toughness, something we need a lot of. Edited April 5 by Artesian_86 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can't trash talk an opposing player but it's ok to bash our own team, players, and coaches ad nauseam 24/7? Like give me a break. It was a joke. That dude was annoying.

Look, like I said, It couldn’t stand watching that guy and how showboated and carried on. Quite honestly, I read it as something much more personal and judgmental because of his outward appearance. JMO You may have not intended it that way, I don’t know, but my response was because of that. Yes, I totally agree, we need to desperately find those type of skilled assassins like that. I absolutely love the unique, international aspect he brings to American NCAA BB. I can just do without his boastful antics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gonna guess it was the use of the word dork and how some people may take that. I have not seen the word dork used to describe a college basketball player.....ever? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough and figured as much but this is a word/term I use for anyone who tries too hard and/or acts and thinks they are little bit cooler than they are. He was annoyingly running around the court showboating like he was Steph Curry. You gotta win something to start doing that kind of stuff. But I am not obtuse, I get the optics. I will update my post. Edited April 5 by OGIUAndy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
