I have been thinking about several options including JHS becoming the PG and X playing the 2. Need to get the best talent on the court. JHS seems to have the leadership and IQ we have been lacking. Hard to put a freshman in that position but others have done it.
I hate Dakich.
I could see XJ, Bates, and JHS as the starting backcourt. All three will get huge PT though.
The reasons Stewart and Kopp kept playing was pretty simple. They made less mistakes.
I'm going to regret wading into this stupid pissing match. But...scholarship recipients don't pay for school. How can the kid pay his own way, while also not paying anything?
And Settles is God, don't you know?
A player can move from scholarship to a walk on, BUT THEY MUST PAY THEIR OWN WAY WITHOUT AN ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP.
Yeah, I know I never was, I'm 5'10 so that's why, but anybody can moonlight at 711 on an academic scholarship, I can't imagine it precludes that
Gee, that just makes so much sense. I don't care if it is the rule, but it slaps as great I'm dumb, good for me
It has to be both and only MSU does that well, they play bully ball all year and then run you when they get in the tourney, I'd like to see that from us
Galloway has been a starter on his two seasons at IU. Leal gets Priller-type mop time minutes. Leal is the player that will not play unless he suddenly transforms into a knock down shooter.
Galloway has started 10 out of 45 games.
Did you watch Galloway play this year. That kid is the real deal and you do understand that this kid is going to be an all conference player by the time he is a senior. At least all defensive team. I am going to say that Galloway has had wrist issues the last couple years and that has hurt his outside shooting. But he will work his butt off and he will definitely improve his outside shooting. I guarantee you that ANY other coach in the country would want that kid on their team! He was and will be a key contributor for the rest of his time here. The kid has an unbelievable bball IQ that makes him a very good player. You will see what I am talking about next year if you didn’t see it this year which I am surprised you didn’t..
Lol completely laughable to suggest he will be an All Conference player. He was a role player on a mediocre team. It’s not like he was some stud last year. His shooting has been poor even since high school, so no, it’s not a wrist issue.
I will just agree to disagree everyone has their opinions and we will see who is right as IU plays this season. But the real issue I have with you even suggesting that Galloway or Leal would transfer is crazy. Both were the first to say they would staying when Archie was fired and both have said they are coming back next year. I guess you missed those facts. But we will not ever agree on the Trey Galloway issue let’s just see how his career plays out.
JFC dude. Someone has to leave if we oversign and it won’t be Woodson’s guys. I even stated that I believe it will likely be Duncomb. I have never once suggested it would be Leal. Every team needs a guy willing to be happy riding the bench.
Let’s see your minutes breakdown for the team, and don’t forget to include either Dexter Dennis or Sean McNeil.
Just reading this post reminds me of Steve Eyl, Brian Evans and those journeymen players from the past, that weren’t flashy, but used their brains and physical toughness during games.
Eyl could pass and play defense. He scored a lot on putbacks. Could screen hard for days. Evans was a knockdown shooter. His career was hampered by that shoulder. Galloway is good but he’s not keeping guys off the court. He’s definitely a serviceable player but his shooting will ultimately bench him.
I just don't get your logic on PT. If the kid can't play better than the starters on his own team, why would playing against the starters on another team hasten his development?
Not a single person here knows what happened in practice this year.
Galloway is limited for sure, but he consistently outperformed Bates both offensively and significantly defensively in games, and probably in practice. Bates has to get better to play, very simple, I can't believe you don't get that. Galloway will play over anybody, including 5 stars, if he plays better within the system Woodson runs. Unbelievably simple. Very few collegiate players are "complete" in the sense that they do everything well (if so they leave quickly for the NBA).
I’ve posted it many times, so you know who I expect to play over Galloway already, but I’ll break it down for you again I guess.
I'm a firm believer that players play in games the way they practice, Most coaches believe the same thing.
Brian Evans journeymen player? he was a 1st round draft pick, and earl graduated 10 years ago
Lol you are talking about the GOAT. 99% of NBA players don’t approach practice that way. Ever heard of AI? Do you know his views on practice?
You show your foolishness again. Kopp and Galloway played different roles on the team, it wasn't preference. Kopp unfortunately didn't have real competition due to Geronimo's and Bates's limitations. Kopp continued to start because those kids weren't consistently better options. That's what I saw all season. Kopp was a better, ostensibly 3 pt. shooter than Galloway anyway and that was supposed to be Kop's role that he unfortunately didn't prove to be very good at. Galloway was great coming in off the bench defensively and creating energy on offense. Neither Dennis (not much offense) or McNeil (not much defense) offers a complete package either.
Yep. Calling Evans a journeyman made me laugh. Big 10 Player of the Year and 3rd Team All American.
Bates and Galloway are both wings as is Kopp. Galloway often came in for Kopp.
