He’s a JR am I Missing something? Has a Jr ever won that award in Indiana?
I thought Damon Bailey won it in the 8th grade but I may be mistaken
Thought only seniors were eligible in Indiana.
Award only open to seniors in Indiana. It’s open to everyone in Ohio.
Luke Kennard, Sullinger, OJ Mayo, LeBron and Jim Jackson are the only players to win it multiple times. LeBron won it 3x.
So Cupps has the possibility to be as good as OJ Mayo, LeBron and Jim Jackson???? I like it ;p
I can't help thinking about IU's last 5-star junior recruit who was a guard. I will leave it at that.
I don't understand your comparison between Lander and Cupps. Gabe Cupps is ranked #125 by Rivals and isn't skipping his senior year. I will leave it at that too.
Sports Illustrated article. Naming him best eighth grader in the nation. If I remember right, in SOTB, RMK would mention Damon around Alford just to piss him off and motivate them. Something like, Bailey was only an eighth grader and could play better defense than Steve.
Yes but he wasn’t mr basketball as an 8th grader. In Indiana you can’t play high school basketball as an 8th grader
Ratings are meaningless to some extent, Lander's play at IU indicates overrated big time. Bad defense, bad shooter, turnover machine. Cupps is a much better shooter than Lander ever was or is. Better distributor and better leader/defender hence the Mr. Basketball award as a JUNIOR> I'll leave it at that.
He was joking. Looks like several people got the joke.
Not to mention Cupps plays on a damn good high school team. Centerville is 28-0 and is ranked top 5 in the country. Kid’s a winner and extremely tough nosed.
I absolutely love Indiana sarcasm. David Letterman was brilliant using it. Since I am in Pennsylvania I can't really talk like this because some of these big PA guys might punch me in the nose.
I’d probably say Coverdale if we’re limiting it to those 4. He’s not going to wow you with any one trait, but he’s just an overall good basketball player.
Seems most like Hulls to me. Cloverdale moved to get a three, Hulls had more versatile offense. Cupps appears as a scoring point guard.
A lot more athletic than Hulls as well as defender. Nowhere near as good a pure shooter as Hulls but then again not many are.
Randy Whitman would kick both their asses.
Wittman, one of IU's most underrated players by most. Wittman and Kitchel were a couple of bad dudes . Kitchel doesnt get hurt and we are right there again in 83 . Big10 had a long 3 point line and they were great. The yr RMK raised a banner for the Big10 championship for the fans after Kitch got hurt and said they helped them win it. Loved Wittman.
Why didn’t you ask who Kurt Hastings was too? It’s another joke based on common mispronunciations of two IU players - Tom Coverdale and Kirk Haston. It’s similar to how many fans think Lander’s name is Landers. IU fans should know these things.
Suhr lol…
Somewhere in the middle between Hulls and Yogi. More athletic than Hulls, better shooter than Yogi. He’s dunked in a high school game which neither Yogi and obviously Hulls did not do. Really crafty and deceptively strong around the rim.
This is a huge recruiting win for IU.
IMO, I think JHS is cut from the same cloth, not exceptional at any one trait, just an overall good basketball player.
Check in on Saturday nights about his incoherent adventures and mailbox losses
