. Let's remember that Lander will only be 17 when he plays for the Hoosiers next year. I've never seen him play , and I'm sure from all I've heard he is a special player. That being said he will be playing against players older , bigger , stronger and just as quick in most games. When younger kids move to a higher level the speed of the game really picks up , and the adjustment to that takes time. My biggest fear is if he struggles at first people will start to come down on him , and you know it will happen . I remember how some came down on Romeo when he struggled , even when he played the season with an injured hand. Many players would have just shut down but he continued to play , and at a high level. I'm excited to see Lander play this coming season , but just remember if he has a bad game , which I'm sure will happen at some point next year , that it's not the end of the world.
