JHS Will Start at the 2
- Thread starter hookyIU1990
- Start date
Great size for a PG right now. Look forward to seeing him. Wish they were having a light scrimmage tonight, just to get to see these guys we've been talking about for months now!
No I didn’t. 🤦🏻 I said who will be the back up point. I also said they will run him and x like 2 point guards. He can play 1-3 and guard those spots too.
Two primary ball handlers. Fine having them out there together, yet I don’t think they can both be on the bench together, unless we slide Trey into the role he had versus NU (which was basically a short handed/ emergency type situation).
He’s your backup PG. He will slide over and X will get a breather. X comes back in for him. They both start each half (and maybe finish depending on how it goes). The thing I’m really pulling for though is Bates unseating Kopp as a starter.
I hope Trey never plays PG again. In that game, IU only had 7 turnovers, but Trey had 5 of them. We can only imagine how many turnovers he would have had against a better opponent....or a better opponent's reserve backcourt.
Trey is not the one to be critical of, about anything related to the NW game last year!

Beat me to it.
I hope he never has to play at the point again also, but not because he turned it over 5 times
I didn't think CMW would, partly for that reason, partly to bring a freshman along more slowly, and partly because JHS, with his size and rep for D, could sub at the 1, 2 or 3 and might have allowed for more experimentation with lineups. Glad to be wrong! It won't surprise me if JHS does play the PG more when he's in with XJ as I think X's skills are more that of a 2 anyway and JHS seems to thrive on distributing the ball!
you are full of sh!t. The questions have been asked. X needs a breather and the point has the least depth. This is why AL has been working on the point per woody.
Yep, I'd love to have a 3rd PG on the roster! I'd not believed any 1 and done talk until I saw that tweet about what a scout said, so I thought we'd have JHS next year with Cupps! And of course we still may, but maybe we'll be looking for a PG in the portal!
Starting 5 is clearly:
XJ
JHS
Kopp
Race
TJD
XJ
JHS
Kopp
Race
TJD
No, I'm critical of those who missed curfew, the performance of those who played, and the lack of leadership of the entire team and coaching staff.

not going to lie ive been drinking all day and have no idea what you are trying to say, i will check back in tomm moring to see if i can figure it out
we had 3 PGs on the roster, so Trey should have never had to play PG, and then he had to, to the tune of 20+ minutes, and he scored 13. Single digit turnovers in a game when you were missing every PG on the roster??? Nothing to bang on Trey about in that moment.
He scored 13, and it’s not like we hung 100 on the ‘Cats (that 13 was a good chunk of our total scoring). Was he perfect? Of course not. But, when the game was over I was proud of his effort. IIRC coach W. also made some comments along the same lines.
what was the line in “Hoosiers “ after a short handed loss? For those still out there at the end I’m proud of you?
we have 2 really good primary ball handlers, but one of them showed a tendency to go Ron Artest/Brad Davidson last year. We need him focused on staying out of foul trouble this year. I’m more concerned with that than another Evanston.
No doubt, Trey was put in a difficult position during the NW game. So, if you want to ignore that Trey had 5 of the team's 7 turnovers against a shitty NW defense, then ignore that data point. I'm not banging on the guy. I'm just saying that based on his play throughout the entire season, I don't experience warm fuzzies when I envision Trey getting minutes at the 1.

I don’t think defense was NUs biggest issue. They weren’t good defensively, but it’s not like they were a conference doormat either.

Yes, Northwestern had plenty of other issues too.
I suspect fatigue was more responsible for the # of TOs than anything NU did.
Maybe, though 80% of Trey's turnovers occurred in the 1st half.
But let's look beyond the NW game. For the entire season, of returning players, Galloway had the second highest turnover rate on the team at 22.8%.

Yes and it’s not like he was healthy. He warriored up.
I'm not ignoring it, nor am I ignoring the circumstances that required him, unannounced or expected to step into a role he never should have been put in or could have expected, so it's not a concern for me at all and I appreciate his effort. Heck, I remember thinking we could still pull that game out fairly late, and I think we were closer to winning because of Trey's efforts. I'm guessing XJ averaged more than 2 TO's a game and Trey better than 1, so most likely his PG play led to 2 more TOs than would have been "normal" for that position and minutes, and we had 7 as a team missing 2 starters and our starting and backup PG for that game? Trey did fine.
Given the circumstances, Trey's "fine" performance was acceptable. However, if Woodson foolishly continues to utilize an NBA substitution pattern, it would be a mistake to slide Trey over to the 1 when XJ and Fino need a breather. With JG playing minutes at the 3, we don't need to compound the issue with a second reserve player playing a new position in the same lineup.
I missed the talk about about Trey playing minutes at the 1 to spell those guys. Where was that talked about?
Gerdis mentioned it above in the 6th post in the thread, which was what I originally responded to.
The 3 and 1 positions are the question marks regarding who plays when/where. Good thing Woody has just enough versatility players. Injuries will have to be managed. Who knows who comes out of the wash.
Bates is 6'5" and JHS listed at 6'6" and has a reputation as a good defender. That size should give us some flexibility on D.
NBA scout has high praise for Jalen Hood-Schifino at IU’s Pro Day
Indiana senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis sounded the alarm a couple weeks ago at the program’s media day. Freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino is good. Really good. And he may not be around…
