Cupps
- Thread starter Cavanagh
- Start date
thank you, Liam may have assumed MM was one and done when he committed, he aint here so i dont give a shit about him
You want experienced guards playing. They don't have any guards signed for next season and will lose 2 which would leave Rice, Carlyle and Newton which would leave them needing 2 more. Broken record trying to fill rolls when you already have a guy in the system who can play. Makes no sense to wish him gone.
Tucker says Hi dipshit.
the perfect guy for that job would be Gabe Cupps, he isn't leaving loves it at IU , Van Pastry Man doesn't know shit
He's been bringing the ball up when paired with Galloway and playing the 2 spot in the big perimeter lineup. His future is at the 2 spot but will probably play 3 with KC/MR.
Cupps should not play meaningful mins for IU ever, he is not good enough.
Not until he becomes productive somehow. Which he hasn't been. Doesn't make mistakes but doesn't do enough to play in front of anyone we have. I'd rather see Leal get minutes....
Id rather never see them play. If they are playing we are in trouble. This team should play 8, and Hatton if needed if Ballo and Malik are in foul trouble. Newton isn't ready to play (doubt he ever will be sadly)
I disagree, he will not be needed this year unless we have an unfortunate injury, but he is better than he is given credit for on here, he will contribute his jr and sr years
true with most teams, outside of foul trouble I think it will be the case this year, once we get into big 10 play
No, they could be playing because we have a big lead, which I hope we see often.
But, regardless, we need another true pg next year with B10 caliber talent.
I think once we get to conference play. It will be an 8 man rotation with the 8 we saw vs SC.
Yep. Only in late game situations on inbounds and free throws for down the stretch. Offense & defense substitutions.
Agreed, but I still like Hatton getting some run time with the rotation players. Keeps him prepared if called upon. He moves well and moves the ball well when he is in. Could be a big advantage if our guys get in foul trouble.
Edit: If healthy, I wonder if JN can come in and lock down on the other teams best perimeter scorer for short runs?
I like what I've seen of Hatton and would imagine with Ballo and Reanu in front of him, he's going to get some minutes backing them up due to fouls/blows. Plus I think he might add another dimension with his shooting possibly. I'm not saying I want him to play, but I think he'll find his way into games in that kind of role.

I like what I've seen out of Carlyle and Rice on D in the backcourt, they are bringing more pressure on the ball. That means they will have their man get by them more often, but with Ballo in the paint, that's a good security blanket. I never trust a guy who's not seen a minute of PT at the college level as a lock down defender. Heard a lot of that about one of the freshman at PU being a lockdown defender and crickets since the season started. Also heard a review of MM by Rick Bozich in which he praised his D and I think that's been by far his biggest challenge since coming here.
Hatton looks mobile and aware, but I don't thin he'll be able to finish against Big 10 level players.
I was at the game, so didn't hear it, but apparently Cupps was held out with an injury? Is this old news?
Yes that's what recruiting is. I believe that's what national signing day is for.

Mike Woodson is a great recruiter signed Liam Mcneely, Braylen Mullins, Jalan Harlarison, Malachi Moreno, Boogie Fland, Derek Queen, Flory Bidunga.. and this list goes on and on...
Back up much?
In this post you say that IU is maybe a 20 win team.
Cav challenges you to a bet at that 20 mark and NOW it is
"That's a easy bet our non conference is horrible there is 10 easy wins for sure. Now you want to bet 25 wins I do that I see there ceiling at 25 most likely 22 wins."
Beep, beep, beep as you back up.
What is it maybe 20 or likely 22 or ceiling at 25?
Deep team your a dumbass Tucker and Galloway are the only decent players 7 deep.
