I can't imagine he was expecting big minutes when he came, but I have zero knowledge of why he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, he wasn't facing near the competition at his position that he was playing Indiana's schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I think should be a younger player with some upside. That could potentially be ready in a year of playing behind Ballo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathery Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 1 hour ago, DC2345 said: I'd put it at a 95% chance that the roster looks like this. 1. Rice, Galloway, Cupps 2. Carlyle, Leal, Newton 3. Mgbako, Tucker 4. Reneau, Goode 5. Ballo, Transfer 1 open scholarship Is that Big Ten title and 2nd weekend+ talent in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who could you get with the 13th scholarship? You want them to use #13 on Tim Priller? There is a difference in realistic options with mutual interest vs what the fans want vs what the staff wants. I am with you... if there is a freshman project out there that wants to come... give it to him. But finding that person that is interested in coming to play 0 minutes, with little money will not be an easy task. I think about the only way you fill that last scholarship is an in state, under the radar, high school kid. Which I would be perfectly okay with.

Why spend it for a nobody. because that nobody has a much higher chance of becoming somebody than that empty chair. Plus, it's another player for practice, one that would presumably be better than the walk-ons. And whose to say #13 would be the least talented of the scholarship players? Maybe said player is good enough to crack the rotation and push someone else down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I don't EVER want to hear anything about youth, injuries, anything of that nature again. I think its 100% malpractice to not fill every scholly. I also find it unimaginable after last season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 100% malpractice to not fill every scholly. I also find it unimaginable after last season. I agree that it was a a clear and obvious mistake last year. But that is because the hole seemed obvious at this time last year. The team was missing a playmaking guard/scorer in the backcourt. IU needed a starter at this time last year and for whatever reason it seems like they swung and missed for Knecht and decided they couldn’t get someone better than what they had and on the way which was crazy to me. Imagine what Isiah Swope would have done for this team. I could probably forgive it this year if they wanted to have flexibility (after adding a shooter and a big) for one spot because I think the roster looks much better and the hole doesn’t seem so glaring to me right now. Given that it seems Galloway and Cupps will be coming off the bench along with a McDonald’s all American freshmen - I would atleast understand the thinking this time around. But I could see an argument for an emergency front court player too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 100% malpractice to not fill every scholly. I also find it unimaginable after last season. An open spot this year is a little different than last year but they are related. Last season was 100% just negligence. This year it should have already been filled with an incoming Freshman but we started the off-season with 0 recruits (more negligence). I think it will be super difficult to find a transfer who would agree to come fill a spot that projects to have 0 minutes. I'm very excited about who is coming in and give the staff all the credit for working to right the ship.. but I have yet to hear any acceptable excuse for that open spot last year. Just my opinion of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
