Fundamentals Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 As IndyPartizan predicted Nov 4, Galloway will start: Lander Durham Galloway Hunter Jackson-Davis This is my guess, yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'll first say that I don't think the lineup that starts Game 1 will be the lineup we see midway through the season. Rob Durham Hunter Thompson Jackson-Davis Archie gives the nod to the upperclassmen in the opening game, as the 3 ball handler lineup is not as important. We will see freshmen off the bench early though. And, we will see at least one freshman in the starting lineup by the start of conference play.

greg91 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I see a few different combinations Archie might use during the start of the season but for game one I am going with the following. Lander Rob Durham Hunter Jackson-Davis I believe all 11 players will see action, for Archie to use different line up's as the early part of season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I've said this all along... I don't think Galloway will start unless the difference in play is so stark that he'd be poised to be on the All B10 Freshman team, and I can't see that being the case. I agree with @5fouls that the lineup we see on 11/25 won't be the one we finish with. That said, I'll go with what I've said from the time Lander committed... Rob Al Lander Brunk TJD Now @Hoosierhoopsterthought that's the lineup I wanted to see, but that's not the case. I haven't been to the practices, and even if I had been I'm quite positive my eye for what's going on falls a bit short of CAM's. My "guess" is predicated on what I think CAM will do, not my own evaluation based on having seen most of the team play in the past. And I think the reason CAM will do this is team chemistry. CAM has preached getting older. Practices are one thing (not discounting their value at all) but game play is another. If one of the freshman is playing well in practice, great, but if they would start outplaying an upperclassman in game play, I think that's more easily presented to and absorbed by the team. THAT said, I'd like to see how this lineup would fair... Rob Kristian Jerome Race TJD Edited November 20, 2020 by IUFLA 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Agree with previous replies on all accounts. My lineup is Rob, Lander, Jerome, Race, and TJD as well....but I think Archie is going to change things up more than he's done recently. The days of guys getting their start and exact minutes are over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUskim Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I was listening to Jim coyle on Indiana sports beat yesterday. He thinks it ludicrous that people are saying Galloway is rumored to be starter. He doesn’t see any way possible he starts. Anyway my starting lineup at the start of the season Rob Al Hunter TJD Race Then I think it will change to Rob Lander Al TJD Race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did Coyle say exactly how many practices HE'S been to, in order to make that assumption? These talking heads aren't any more educated on our players than many of you here on this board. In fact, I think there are a few posters here that are pretty close to experts. (and I'm not in the same universe as them...) While I think it is unlikely that Trey starts, it's possible if CAM wants to experiment in the preseason. Starting is over rated in my book, although it is important to get off to a good start. I think match ups are more important on starting line ups. But then again, I'm not getting paid to coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with your overall point I think it’s been stated many times on here Archie doesn’t really let anybody in his practices. Just to float that out there. Also I 100% agree about starting being overrated I’ve always thought it never mattered who started the most important players are the ones that finish the game.

NCHoosier32 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 personally i hate hate hate worrying about how old a kid is when it comes to starting or his role. play the best 5 who play well together regardless of how old they are. i also get tired of the thing about it doesn't matter who starts. i mean i get the point, but why would you not want to get off to a good start with the best guys and also finish strong with those same guys? most of the time saying it doesn't matter who starts is to make the guys who don't start feel better. to me the only real question is how small are we going to go? i also hate hate hate the 5 for 5 subbing, but it is kind of nice to think that we could do a 5 for 5 of: Lander, Durham, RP, Race, TJD... then Franklin, Leal, Galloway, Hunter, Brunk. also seems nice to have those teams pushing each other in practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, he's in the dark, just like the rest of us. And maybe in a darker room, than most. I just can't stand the media.

I know what you're saying, but seniority on a team, any team, not just basketball, means something at the outset. New guys are at the bottom of the pecking order (unless you're a 5 star like Lander) from the get-go. In my estimation, practice can change that pecking order to a degree, but the real proof comes during games. That's part of the reason why we have the pre B10 season schedule to shake that out, establish roles, and solidify the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefftheref Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I could care less who starts. I care about who plays hard, hustles, plays defense and plays as a member of a team. We have had too many players in the past who started whose rear end should of been on end if the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it could be this lineup with Brunk and TJD up front, based on experience, but Race ending the season playing 20 min and TJD around 9, and Race having by everyone's account a great summer and repeatedly playing in white in the HH clips, leads me to think CAM has confidence in Race starting -- and frankly, that needs to happen, if not immediately, soon. But the lineup I most want to see, and which we will see regardless whether they start: Rob Lander Al Hunter TJD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'll defer to Coach Miller as to who his starters should be. He's the one watching practice. Not me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
