David Williams? Did we forget about him?
Who said Morgan was a waste? He was a 4 star kid.
OG is at least athletic instead of a small guard.
There was a number of posters that laughed at OG Morgan and Max and neigo others said if OG and Morgan contribute it would be when there jr and sr years maybe
I don't remember anyone laughing at Morgan, let alone a "number" of them. Same with Max.
And if Blackmon didn't get hurt, it may very well been OJ's junior year before he got any playing time.
I certainly didn't think OG would contribute as much as he did freshman year. He proved me wrong.
OG impressed me at the Halloween open scrimmage, but even so his performance later in the season far exceeded my expectations. JBJ's injury gave him an opening, and he took advantage of it.
If Freddie
If that is the case, I hope that IU redshirts him. Let him grow as a player and student, and contribute to IU in '18 and '19. CTC can learn to redshirt kids- hell he learned how to coach last year.
Well, reread what i wrote-CTC needs to learn to redshirt. CHartman wasted a freshman year that I would love to have back. Perrea never should have played, and rarely did, as a frosh. Freddie is not going to get much time, so give him the option to grow as a redshirt. CTC needs to grow as a coach, and it is silly to say "he never redshirts" as an excuse for him. CTC evolve!
I generally agree. He will need to redshirt a good player now and then to build consistent teams. Hartman and IU could have benefited from a redshirt year. Not sure about NcSwain. Might need him since Williams is gone.
After 17 years I doubt he's going to change and start redshirting. Plus you recruit jucos for immediate help not to redshirt.
So, are you saying Crean missed on Zeller and Oladipo because they transferred (to the NBA) and therefore no longer were producing for IU?
So, you're saying Crean didn't miss on good players who left IU early to take a better opportunity in the NBA but Crean DID miss on good players who left IU early to take a better opportunity at Xavier, Marquette or Georgia State?
You will be pleasantly surprised with Greens play especially on the defensive end.
You're entitled to think that if you like but, to me, it depends way too much on hindsight.
I doubt, when Oladipo came to IU, that anyone thought he would become a high draft pick a couple years later or, when Fischer came to IU, anyone thought that he would give up and transfer back home after just one year. Not sure how to assign credit or blame to the coaches when something like that happens.
Some of them deserved to be Creaned. You cannot make someone love You and be with you when their heart is someplace else.
The buck stops with the guy who gets paid over 3mil. It's his job to manage the roster.
I swear I wish some of you were my boss, I could blow off half my day and still meet your expectation levels
If i were your boss you would be unemployed for being clueless of what really takes place as a head coach of a Div 1 college basketball team.
In this hypothetical scenario and your his boss, is the job totally unrelated to basketball?
And if it is not, the idea you would fire someone for a lack of basketball knowledge in a non basketball related job is crazy
I'm sure when Luke came to IU he knew he was gonna have a roommate (Devin Davis) who would have team dope-smoking parties in their dorm room, right?
Coaches have (or should have) a very direct impact on the culture of the team, don't you think? If you want to continue to delude yourself as to why he left, feel free.
He transferred to Marquette, 22 miles from his home town. I doubt you know firsthand why he transferred.
And I don't doubt for a second that you have no idea what you're talking about. Again, feel free to delude yourself to your heart's content.
Title Run? Yeah, I could see us competing for the B10 title again. Regular season anyway.
that is a good start and to compete for a national championship it starts with a great regular season.
I know damn near firsthand some of the issues he dealt with and the kid gloves that TC used to deal with his boy that caused many of the issues
I'm having a full mug of the cool aid too, cherry please. We will hang #6 this year. Luck, match ups and health among others things always come into play. But I believe guard play and shooting will be as good if not better than last year. The interior is the area that's going to set the team apart. Can TB, DD and others rise up to the challenge and dominate?
Subtracting a four year starting point guard from the team makes the backcourt better? How so?
