Forrester...

[hoosier_est_1984]

Always* looks great out there.
Normally he comes in the last one min of game and scores a bucket.
Tonight what he have like 8 points in about 5 min....4-5 in shooting.. Along with 2 rebounds at both ends of floor and a block.
Its just central Arkansas but he always plays very well thus far anytime ive ever seen him in

Forrester is great. Love his energy. Hes athletic and composed. Could be great in a year or two.

 

[TR32]

Big upside. He reminds me of DJ Wilson from Michigan in past years.

Can you imagine if this squad played with his energy all game? Whew! He should get some quality minutes with the starters in the next game to see how he handles it. Giving Juwan or Smith a rest.

Hes a guy who always seems to have energy. By the time hes a senior look to him to be an excellent leader.

 

[Tru2Irish]

I think he was a steal. He will get better and better and I like Moore too.

 

[channi]

Love his attitude and energy. Hope it is infectious.

 

[ufo33]

Really like Forrester's energy and high level activity. He plays hard! I think he will play more as the season goes along. And Race if he plays this season.

Forrester was lost on defense. He has a long way to go to truly help in that regard.

Yep and that's what will keep him from seeing the floor much this year. But next year, it is going to be hard to keep him off the court I think.

Interesting comparison there. Kind of looks like him, with that economy of movement and determination. He’s like a young Ray Tolbert. If he works really hard and gets a lot stronger he could be a very good player down the road.

Noticed he and Clifton had a few times where they got caught in bad spots on D, but their long arms and energy helped them somewhat recover and at least force bad shots. Exactly, once they clean that up and focus that energy better, watch out! I've got a good feeling about him

Like all the bench Players, and especially that they're not likely to be going anywhere soon...

 

[Eurocyldon]

Guys like Forrester and Moore, if they are willing to sacrifice and work hard, can be keys to future success. Knowing you have them in the pipeline has to be a huge relief to the coaching staff.

I know some speculate on transfers, but the more 5 star potential one-and-done types they add, the more they need guys that will be here 3, 4, 5 seasons.

 

[fpeaugh]

I love the energy but I don’t see the talent or awareness. He and Moore look completely lost out there. I’d never trust them in a close game.

I don’t know if they’re just not major D1 players or if they’re just not ready. I hope in a couple years they can provide some depth for others in foul trouble. I don’t expect either to play significant minutes at IU or any other major program.

Yep, hoops history shows youth and inexperience to be incurable. Your optimism and keen insight remain an inspiration to all.

Forrester looks fine, agree with you on Clifton at least to this point. Going to be hard for him to get many minutes with TJD and likely Brooks coming in next year.

He and Demezi have the same problem. Defense is keeping them on the bench.

The key for forwards playing next year is strength. Whomever (seems to be Thompson) is strong on the block will be needed next year without Morgan. Seems a third year Moore would start playing.

 

[TR32]

The other thing is they likely lose 4 and likely gain 3, but 2 have been injured this year and 3 more have not played alot, so out of 14, that is 9 in the rotation. I think 10 is more likely next year. 10 out of 13. Forester would need to play at the 4 and would need to beat out Thompson. Moore could play the 5 and back up Davis, when TJD is the 4. If TJD is the 5 and Smith is the 4, then Davis, Thompson, Moore, and Forester would be in line, perhaps in that order. I see hunter as a 3 and possibly Brooks, if he signs.
Al, Phin, Green, Anderson, and Armaan at guards. Things could get interesting between those last 3.

If this year is any indication, they never have a full slate even when guys are playing well.

 

[fkfootball]

Forrester has nice touch. He could be a player.

 

[ufo33]

I like Forrester's active body. A Dennis Rodman type, grabbing rebounds, blocking shots, hustle plays for loose balls, scoring on put backs, and midrange jumpers.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

If Jake puts as much effort into developing his defense as he does his hair, we are going to like the results.

Good observation! IU could create their own version of the Minnesota high school hockey playoffs videos. Lots of incredible flow and salads on this squad!

Too much to ask for our own fans to spell our own players names correctly?

He stole that doo from Sideshow Bob I think.

Too close to a cuss word. LoL Da*ezi. Does that work?

Seriously? Just write his damn name.

WTF are you even talking about? It's his name, not a cuss word and it's not even close to one. Were you thinking of "dam"? Dam isn't a cuss word, it is something that blocks water flow. And it's even further from "damn" which only a minority consider a cuss word. Such idiotic post

It’s something my kids would have said when they were 8.

Scored 7 tonight, He needs more playing time.

Can't you guys even take a joke? Do I have to tell you I am joking for you to get it?

I thought that it might be an extremely feeble attempt at a joke but considering your other posts it was a toss up whether or not it was. I still found it incredibly idiotic, either way.

Chuck Schumer, is that you? There's no question that your ilk start with "down with VPM" and move even lower from there. Good God man, take off your blinders. He may not have you knack for social interaction, but really what mature adult male would want to have that as a high point in their life?

He was just trying to be cute/ funny.
