Correct. He's a no-brainer if he wants to come here.

I guess I’m hoping we play more modern basketball. I do t like clogging the lane with two bigs that can’t play any outside. Especially when one of your guards can’t shoot. Trey
Doing otherwise would require him to admit that Woodson did something remotely positive.
Here's a fun solution to his imaginary problem: Let Reneau come off the bench if he hasn't proven he can defend well enough to play over the other two.
I’m not opposed to Mr coming off the bench. Just don’t want him playing with another post player.
I'd have to agree. What happened to the 1 in 4 out? When you say this, you can't be referring to just 1 side of the ball MR is not good enough to be playing out on offense or defense. Sure, he can step out and hit a 3 at an ok clip for his size. We had 2 years of TJD and RT with the second year including MR, just to much congestion. Not saying we pass on Ballo but we need to use these guys different than we've played the last 3 years
That’s just one move. Will his teams, rebound, play hard, shoot FT’s, defend and win?
Perhaps we are hyper focused on matching up in the B10 in roster construction?
I don't believe that to be the case. I mean in my mind we shouldn't be looking to match up to the B1G in roster construction based on the massive success the B1G has had in the NCAA tournament the last 25 years
I’m with you, but perhaps the B10 has struggled for 25 years because teams are recruiting to battle the bruisers in conference.
That would be a good move yes but that doesn’t mean he is doing a good job if his teams do t play hard, rebound, defend, make FT’s and play good fundamental basketball.
TJD's #s were great, but I don't feel like we've had a really physical and feared rim protector like him, since... Big Mac?
We used a lot of 1 in 4 out and 5 out sets this last year. The only thing unmodern about the offense was lack of shooting ..
Everyone was used to their strengths, limited as they were. There's no magic wand offense that's going to turn Gallo into a shooter .. none.
I loved watching Hurley's offense the last two years. Genius. Having multiple triple threat perimeter players made it almost impossible to guard at times. They had three to four guys that could create when needed outside of sets. Those kind of players make offenses look good.
What would happen if you replaced Spencer and Newton with Cupps and Galloway, would Hurley still be a genius?
My guess is Woodson's preference is for a rim protector. That's been a big part of our defense. Surprised if we don't talk to the Rutgers big guy - good defender.
Get ready for Woodson's offense next season.
Looks like Purdue. They did ok.
Get ready for Woodson's offense next season.
Malik got a shit ton better this year. Hopefully he takes half the jump this year and gets better at three. He’s already night and day better than JG TJD or Race. If he can shoot 125 threes at 33-35% that will work. We just need to get some elite shooting guards. It has to happen this year. If we are starting Galloway and Cupps we’re screwed.
He isn’t a good shooter either. He can hit it but not at a high %. He is a slasher..which with two bigs may hinder that
He’s a 17 or 18 year old raw NBA prospect. We don’t know that he can’t shoot.
Something like this. I'll be hopeful and say we add a shooting guard who is open to playing ~25 minutes (Carlyle, Conwell). Gallo sixth man and spells the young'n or one of the bigs, shooter rotates in for any of the 1-4, and we run an eight man rotation. The only issue with that is we wouldn't really have a third big. Playing minutes would be reduced on paper, but with fouls and injuries, players should get their minutes and whatever group gels or has the matchups finishes games.
And lead the country in 3pt shooting…
I would say it counted all year. Great accomplishment getting there. Because they were so good from 3 UConn ran them off the line and didn’t give them any looks
I love Trey’s effort and fearlessness but Woody needs to wake up on this issue. Trey is a better super sub than a starting shooting guard.
The major issue is in todays world you need to promise these transfers a starting spot. Is what it is. So Woody needs to talk with Trey and be like look you are coming off the bench. I just have no confidence in that happening.
Woody needs to promise a really good shooting 2 guard a starting spot. You think he will do that? He doesn't seem to like change.
Its funny how you stop funding NIL and tell ofher donors to give a million to someone. Not hating, I just find it ironic. Most I have ever donated to IU is $250 a year lol.
He can be TJD jr good next season as a Jr. I really could see him ar 18/7 and best back to basket player in the conference
The money is already there. People donated all year for this coming season.
Woody needs to recruit players that can come into our program and outplay our existing core and earn starting roles. Promising is a closing technique, but can be very disruptive.
