dgambill Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Is he our 5 or will we still need to have a center play next to him (defensive purposes). Is he Race with a shot? The highlights I watched he didn’t seem to be that athletic…just big. He made a lot of sloppy plays but everything still went in…lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a class of Queen, McNeeley, Boogie, and Mustaf please 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot 53% taking 6 a game. If he played now he'd probably take 12 a game. The really weird stat. His junior year he shot 55.6% (all twos). His senior year, he was 53% from three, as you noted. But his overall shooting percentage fell to 47%, because he was only 43.8% from two. Even with the addition of the 3 point shot, his scoring average actually decreased from 22.5 to 22.0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 He looked sloppy and not very athletic. Is he product of playing against lesser competition? Nothing in that highlight video made me think he was going to dominate at the college level. Am i missing something? He is obviously ranked high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays at Monteverde so no…although those were AAU highlights. My hope is in a more controlled and organized setting he actually looks better but I wasn’t terribly impressed either. I didn’t see anything in his game that screamed out to me. He has a low/flatish release oh his shot, his handles don’t look tight, you can barely fit a phone book under his feet when he jumps…but yet he was making plays…so maybe he is just unorthodoxed but effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Madison22 Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) In this week's Top100 camp (high level competition), Queen made 21-of-24 shots and posted game-highs in points (25 and 22) and rebounds. He was unstoppable in the paint. Indiana and Maryland likely lead. Not sure if there is a favorite, or if others are involved more than is known. Queen's former lead recruiter at Maryland left that school for George Mason. Maybe that will help us, or not. Listed at 6'9" 250. Ranked Top 20 in the nation, and the #2 center by Rivals. Edit: I am not an insider. I'm just posting stuff I've read on multiple sites. Edited June 30, 2023 by Madison22 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 A Maryland site had this to say: "Maryland still leads for five-star Derik Queen, with Indiana and its massive NIL money still looking like the biggest threat. But no one has expressed much concern about that." Maybe Maryland does lead, maybe they don't. But NIL money is not the only reason he would come here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Just like Rutgers and Dylan, I’m just not seeing what Maryland brings to the table for top talent? Woody had to convince his own staff that they could sit at the table with top 10 talent! I think so many talking heads are just that talking heads!? I don’t see anyway Maryland actually leads in this recruitment!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how many players IU's staff is on, it's completely possible that they don't get any of these three and still end up with a good class. If I were guessing, considering how many schools are chasing all three, it's probably 50/50 that one ends up at IU. Two of the three would be a pretty amazing haui for IU. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get even one of those guys and a combination of any of the others they are in on, we'd have a great class. I would guess Queen is the guy IU is most likely to get of these three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can somewhat live with that as long as we wrap up Sisley and Haralson in 2025. Bidunga would be like 2 highly rated big men that got out of state in 2 years and that sucks. Particularly if Duke ends up being the choice for Bidunga. The special about that program walked out the door a few years ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
