I like that being a backup doesn’t even seem to be in play for him

Can someone please tell Tom Brew the kid’s name? I swear he calls him Jaden.
Impressed. If you’ll notice he answers every question. Most of the reporters had 2 part questions and makes sure to address each one. Most guys will just give an answer for one, usually the second one. He seems very mature for an 18 year old.
Just turned 19 * not that it matters. But he is old for a frosh
Interesting, I did not know that. Sort of the opposite of Lander
The opposite in hopefully every way when it comes to basketball!
Lander got told he was amazing, and didn’t work as hard as he should. Would have thought year one would have been a wake up call, maybe western Kentucky will be.
Lander is in over his head at Western Kentucky. His dad played football there that’s the only reason he’s there.
If all of the Lander comments are accurate, how do the coaches miss guess his ability?
Not only not big ten talent but not Even WKU talent?

I really hope that's not the case. Of all the guys who have rolled thru Bloomington in the past 20+ years of mostly sucky basketball, I would love to see Lander develop into a force at WKU. If he's willing to work, he deserves some success. Arch and Co. sold him a bill of goods that turned out about as bad as Matt Roth getting last-minute Creaned.
So, let's say our starting backcourt is JHS and XJ. I was talking with my friend about how we'd match up defensively with UNC. I think I'd put XJ on Love and JHS on RJ Davis. Both are good, but I think Love is more dangerous if he gets rolling so I'd task the senior with that. Davis is good too, but I think his game is one JHS would be more comfortable guarding as he's mostly a 3 or drive/dish threat.
Lander was never physically strong enough to play in the B1G. After a year and a half and no doubt Cliff Marshall instruction, he never really developed much physically. Coupled with the defensive lapses, propensity to turn the ball over and foul, he wasn't up to the competition. I hope he gets serious and turns out to be a great player at WKU, but he was never IU ready. Watching him in high school, I could never really see him playing in the Big 10 because he just didn't have the physical strength and I couldn't project how that would improve in college.
Keegan Murray and Jaden Ivey were both pretty low ranked players coming out of high school and both got drafted high by the NBA. Just seems like a bit of a crap shoot picking players out of high school that will develop when they get to college campuses.
Yeah but it’s not though. Because the High School kids ranked in the Top 10 are usually taken in the lottery. So it’s not a crap shoot. It’s actually the opposite.
If all our 1-3 are healthy they are all better defensively. Like trey guarding a 2. He’s pretty reliable. Even Kopp guards pretty well in this system. Defense won’t be a problem inmho. Offense should be a tick better. This game should be very close.
I tell you what Creans formula was. Finding athletically gifted defensively minded wings. OG and Victor were both way ahead defensively.
Kansas averaged 78 points(less if you take those tourney games out). Hardly running people out of the gym. UNC is more up and down than Kansas.
UNC returned nearly their whole team. Kansas lost 6 seniors. Only 1/3 of their scoring is back. Plus UNC lost 2 players at the end of that game. Both games should be good and close.
Jalen Wilson, Pettifiord, and Yesufu were after thoughts on last years Kansas team and they’re still a better core than anything we’re returning. And their incoming class skunks ours. No contest.
You were comparing last years team with this years. Now you want to compare this years with this years? Admit it. You don’t/won’t give IU credit. The game is over in your eyes.
They both were the only guys who he recruited that could defend. OG was a good defender and that 2012-13 team was decent but not because of Crean.
Correct, he recruited athletic wings, but defense was an option, not a feature.
I’m just saying those 2 were way ahead in defense. They weren’t great offensively and that’s why they weren’t recruited.
Don't know if this was linked, but I got around to watching it. Seems like a good group of guys as freshmen. All are well-spoken and it seems like they are developing good camaraderie.
Assembly Call talk with IU Freshmen class (and Tamar)
Other than pretty good and funny banter, the most interesting thing to me was that TJD is about 400 pts behind CMW on the career scoring list (for 5th I think)! CMW has like 2100 career points (stud!), but TJD should, barring injury, catch him this year! Think there will be some banter surrounding that event?
They were all cracking on IN HS bball.
