His shooting not great but did have games where he shot the 3 well. we have plenty of inconsistency when it comes to shooting and defense. dont need more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU is going get add a couple bigs so they might as well get good ones I’m being sarcastic but if the plan is to play him like we did last year…no I don’t want him. He is a Ware clone as his numbers are very similar. If Reneau is staying he should play the 5 and we get 4 shooters to play off him. We only need backup bigs and offering back up minutes not someone looking to start…I don’t want another year of twin towers and standing. If Reneau is gone then of course. Woody can’t help himself…if he has two bigs that could each start he will do it….its his style…and we will be back to where we were. I’m all for players like this but we have to construct a roster better than last year. Edited March 20 by dgambill 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reneau won't play the 5 so you can forget about that. It's just not happening nor would it be very successful Edited March 20 by DC2345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 1 minute ago, dgambill said: Ware or Reneau? Reneau. That was a typo. Reneau is undersized, doesn't rebound well enough, isn't a rim protector and is in constant foul trouble. If he's the starting 5 then IU will most likely be worse than they were this year in the B1G. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for players like this but we have to construct a roster better than last year. If IU had Caleb Love and Dalton Knecht would you care if Reneau and Ware played next to each other? The reality is it didn’t work because we didn’t have shooters so teams sagged in or double teamed like Nebraska. If this year we go out and get the guy from Stanford and keep Reneau but then go and get proven shooters I think it’s a much more successful offense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running back Reneau at the 4 and Mbgako at the 3 severely lowers our ceiling at the defensive end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Virginia their foundation is built on defense not offense and it just doesn’t work anymore. I get what you’re saying but reality is Reneau isn’t going anywhere and if MM comes back he’s starting too. So we might as well get guards that can score. If we lose Reneau and MM we are in trouble regardless of their issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late. That occurred in 2000. And just to be sure, they drove a stake through its heart in 2008. You've been watching a hologram ever since. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 it is quite the conundrum. Reneau is better suited offensively as the 5 but defensively as the 4. and doesn't want to play the 5. Mtaco is better suited as a 4, but doesn't want to play there. is Galloway really a 2? or a 1? ugh. here we go again. still think Taco isn't back though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me there are ways to handle all of that offensively but not with Woodson's stone age offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
