HoosierFaithful Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think transfers can happen while both sides realize the fit is not right. Perhaps that's the case here. Wish CuJo the best. Didn't a beat writer predict this on twitter several weeks back? This isn't a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruiting Darius and Romeo suggested someone was leaving. Wouldn't be surprised if another leaves. Just the nature of 2017 hoops/players/parents,etc....

Candystripe Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Good luck to Curtis! I'll attempt to be as positive as possible on my first post, but is anyone else concerned with a lack of shooting guards on next season's roster? Phinisee, Durham, and Green are point guards, and even in a position-less era, a team that ranks 226th in three-point shooting seems desperate for an injection of talent. If Langford signs, he would appear to be the only shooting guard on the roster, with no backup. I have long-term faith in Archie, but hope he can find elite guards, which seem to be the greatest need in my eyes. Go Hoosiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie says he sees Anderson as a big 2 guard not really a sf and Anderson can really shoot. I have also heard that Hunter at 6'7 is an excellent shooter.

I agree, but this chart is crazy. 20 players transferred or dismissed in a 10 year period is a lot. 2 players should not transfer from a program every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him well! Remember Kris Wilkes hung out in Bloomington knowing full well he was headed elsewhere. To me this is an example of a kid recruited to play one style of ball who was not able/could not/would not adapt to the new regime. This does not surprise me at all as Crean asked for a different skill set than what CAM emphasizes. I don't see this as a loss for the program and the term "Creaning" doesn't work here. Cujo wasn't being recruited over. He is leaving because he didn't adapt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response to bstall76, I would be thrilled to see production from Anderson and Hunter. My fears would be guarding the quickness of other elite guards and ball handling at a level that keeps the team in games. I'm thankful for Phinisee coming in next season and think better days are ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering.... not that team chemistry has been a major issue..... whether or not we see an overall improvement in team chemistry from here on out. All it takes is one bad apple....not saying CJ was a bad apple.... but if he was spreading his unhappiness around..... that was not a good thing either.

Indykev Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm glad he pulled the trigger now so the staff can get in with another kid. We need a shooter. Man we will be young. 6 freshman, 1 RS Freshman. 3 sophs, 2 jr, 1 sr.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 We need to balance the classes some how. Best thing after this season, that will leave 3 players that played for Crean and two are bigs. Leaves only Green to lose the boneheaded guard play.

madmax Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Honestly I'm sad to see him go, although like others I cant say that I am surprised. I truly believe that Cujo has the talent to play high major D1 ball, it just wasn't working out for him here. I was really hopeful that we would see some progress this season, but there hasn't been much. And that's fine, CAM's system isn't for everyone, and clearly for Curtis it was not. I wish him nothing but the best and I hope that he finds success wherever he ends up. It's also worth mentioning that it obviously can't be easy to see a freshman guard getting around 30 minutes a game, when you can barely get off the bench as a sophmore.

madmax Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Looks like Curtis was also offered out of highschool by Cincinatti, Maryland, Georgetown, NC State among many others. I think he'll land somewhere just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
