IndySportsPartizan Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Archie has reached out to the leading JuCo scorer. He is a 6'4 freshman SG originally from Kentucky. He is putting up over 30ppg and is a solid rebounder from the 2 position. Duke has already offered him, but other than that he has mostly small conference offers. Fits a need at IU more than anyone right now. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/3580168/5c3958855b3e350828e79344
BobSaccamanno Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 I literally know nothing about this kid, but this is the track I had in mind for filling out the roster. His stats and clips stand out.
B_A Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks for sharing ISP. The one positive if Keion is headed elsewhere is shifting focus toward what we will need most next year, a 43.8% three point shooter who can space the floor.

But if Jerome Hunter can get clearance to play again we should be ok there.
IUCrazy2 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Probably be a solid pickup. We do not need a homerun right now, but a solid single would help. I think the guys we had this year were a single. Another single gets us in scoring position, 20 wins is the goal next year. Then with those baserunners on, you bring up the 3 and 4 spot hitter. 2020 and 2021 are where you look to hit the homeruns. You just have to have some singles to start w.r.t. recruiting. We got that. Brooks would be nice but I really just need somebody with some talent who can come in and act like they give a crap about losing. 20 wins in 2019-2020. Get whatever you can get to reach that goal.
Seeking6 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Exactly the type of help we need to add right now. I saw more smoothness in one flip of the wrist there compared to several of our shooters.

Lurker Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 I can't believe for a minute that Duke offered. A high school 2 star at a seemingly lower level junior college? I guess it could happen as it appears Texas Tech and West Virginia have offered. Apparently Virginia has been checking him out also.

ArchieBall13 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Warms my heart a little to see Archie is at least in the business of finding us some top flight shooters for the team. I'd take him.

Parakeet Jones Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 I like it. If we lose one of our current sophomores I would love to replace him with a Juco to help with class balance. Get him, Archie.

I need one person who can hit a 3. Just one. If we have 1 guy who can hit a 3 we win last night, home games with Iowa and Ohio St....and road games at Maryland and at Northwestern. Difference between 13-13 and 18-8 and a 6 seed in NCAA tourney. Just one shooter.
OLDIUFAN Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 I am not a great recruiter of talent. So I will leave that up to the guys that do that for a living. To me that clip looked slow. Everyone kind of stood around. How would he do against D1 talent. I guess that is always the guestion. Look what happen to Fritz! Archie has to find a shooter so I am glad he is looking !!
Indykev Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 His school is in Dayton, OH. i'm sure Archie might know someone there. Kid is from KY. we are close to home. a plus. We have no one on our team that can make two in a row from outside 4 feet. Major plus. Thick looking kid but looked quick enough, got to the rim. Wont be able to throw the one handed pass, we have no one that can catch it. lol. No really, that pass doesnt work at this level, see Devonte Green. In the gym range! Every shot he took was from the NBA to the volleyball court lines and shot 48%. What does he shoot if he is made to step in 5 feet to the NCAA line? Why not take a shot. I didn't look but i'm guessing the kid was from a small high school in KY. Didnt play well in AAU and was miss rated. Luke Brown come to mind.

Not even in the ballpark will Fitz.
3Ballin Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 I would KILL to have a Ziesloft on this team!!! But a Roth wouldnt upset me either. Look at what (insert unathletic white kid) does to us every game. By no means think we need a team full, but one or two sharp shooters would be nice!!! 🎯🎯🎯
OLDIUFAN Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Hey we need something! I am willing to take a chance!
A-hOhL Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Sounds like we are VERY late to the party. Hopefully we can make up some ground quickly... https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/archdeacon-college-coaches-flocking-dayton-see-sinclair-phenom/l6LnjvzodEMopxQOV2MrbN/

He's a leader and can shoot. I'd think the proximity to home will help us in his decision. We need to get one of those official visits and play the Wat Shot on the big screen for him. Go Hoosiers!!!
IU Scott Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Wonder how would compare with Duncan Robinson who went forma DIII school to have a pretty good career at UM
HoosierKix Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 His build would be great for us and I like his release on his shot, it's quick but under control. I wonder how good of a defender he is though
