Logan?
- Thread starter NOMORENIT
- Start date
He really has next to no chance of playing. Reneau is the backup 5 and will also get minutes at the 4. Geronimo will also get minutes at the 4.
A hit and miss..
Indiana's recruiting has progressed pass projects...
Come in and ball.. This is Indiana..
The Duke's UK's .Carolina.Kansas etc ...Basically have someone waiting in the wings every year for your spot..

I’m sure we’d all like to see a hit and not a miss. If Logan wins time as a backup at 5, Malik gets more time at 4.
i can't really comment on LD, as i've seen him play a only few seconds of mop up.
there was a time when i had a pretty good idea of the capabilities and potential of every scholly player on the team, because i'd seen enough in open scrimmages, and early season cupcake games, and blowouts, and limited minutes with the starters when the game was still on the line, which was a Knight thing every yr with every new class..
that hasn't been the case for a while.

I've never heard Duncomb mentioned by players or coaches. He didn't play at all in the NW game thathad 4 suspended and one hurt.If he was injured, it wasn't reported.
He wasn't close to playing last year and minutes will be more difficult for him this year. It is either talent,mental, or he isn't doing what he needs to do in the weight room or on his own in the gym.

Load sharing this season will be spread more so than last even though more player #'s will share it. He's now 6'10", maybe soon 6'11", who knows. He'll earn a roll somewhat bigger than Durr. I liked what little bit I saw of him last year. Seen the video twice matching up against Furst. It was positive and no fluke. Unless Furst is less than advertised we'll see LD with rotation minutes.
Perhaps the "we" that includes you cannot, but Woodson and IU may.
Have you seen Logan play since last Season? Just because no one is buzzing about him (as is typical with freshmen) doesn't mean much. With 2 exhibitions (Marian- Div. 3, St. Francis-325) and seven of eleven pre-Conference Games against Teams with an average KP rating north of 250 (Morehead State-118, Bethune-Cookman-333, Miami of Ohio-266, Little Rock-328, Jackson State-277, Elon-247, Kennesaw State-223 makes for really weak NC sauce), Coach Woodson will likely have ample opportunity to involve nearly everyone before the bulk of BIG competition. No real telling how that plays out. Also ever the possibility of 'next man up' scenarios - foolish to dismiss the utility of and potential need for a competent 6'10" presence somewhere in the Season.
IU had 10 Players that averaged 10+ minutes/Game last Season with Lander (9.2) and Durr (7.4) also logging minutes that weren't strictly in 'garbage' time. That makes for a 12-man rotation so 13 is hardly a reach. Have to feed the dogs and Woodson doesn't strike me as one who let's his go hungry. If Duncomb has put in the work, may be that he claims a role similar to that of Michael Durr. Not holding my breath, but neither inclined to write him off before the Ball is tipped.
Do you not understand the difference between playing and being in the rotation? No doubt he will get mop up time against the cupcakes. He won’t be in the rotation that plays in non mop up time.
Lander, Duncomb, and Leal were not rotation players last year. We had a 10 man rotation.
You (not "we") know what you know. And conversely. The latter appears to loom far larger.
Leal was in it for a bit, and Lander was given every opportunity. Duncomb definitely not.
Flash: It's not last year.
He wasn’t close to playing last year as a freshman big, and will be less likely to play after a year of development? Sound logic lol.
IU fans forgot what it’s like to recruit well and actually be good. You know why Race Thompson played early in his career? Because IU sucked and the shitty desperate coaches needed him to play.
When it comes to winning a college basketball game, Logan is ahead of Malik right now. How Woody has to balance other expectations, etc, etc will be the only question on who plays. One of them will need to be on the floor at times when Trayce is out.
Only thing you need to see from a freshman backup big is that he has good hands, feet, and feel. Logan showed that the few times he played last year.
Wisconsin has been beating the brakes off IU for two decades with recruits like Duncomb.

I agree that is telling, but I am surprised tho with all the other issues- no articles about him, minimal minutes last year, etc.
Does anyone know if he is working out at Cook hall this summe?r
And they usually break out as upperclassmen. Next year will be when we find out if Duncomb is going to be a contributor or not.
Leal and Lander only ever got run because of injuries. I will bet you whatever you like that Duncomb plays less than 100 min
Guys that play spot minutes and mop up in blow outs are not considered rotation players generally. I guess it depends on how you define rotation. Maybe core rotation should be used instead.
With everyone coming back at the 4 and 5 spots, I'd have a hard time believing he's going to see any bump in minutes next year. Maybe they give him Durr's role next year, but I feel like that's unlikely. Woody is going to want to get the best players on the floor and Duncomb is pretty clearly behind TJD, Thompson, and JG. He'll battle Reneau for the few open minutes next year.
Every year Wisconsin seems to have a Logan Duncomb come off the bench after two years, pivots 10 times in the post and finally manufactures a layup. Would love for Logan to be that player.
Agree. Durr was part of the 'rotation' to the extent that he was utilized as need/matchups/strategy dictated even while averaging a mere 7.4 minutes in 26 of the 30 games he played. That's a good bit less than Leal (10.6) and Lander (9.2) who as I recall were both injured at various times during the Season. Wouldn't characterize any of them as part of last Season's 'core', but as Woodson seems more inclined than not (and what is typical) to reward effort with floor-time, reckon everyone giving it their all is going to be afforded the chance(s) to make their case somewhere besides Practice. Unless Logan is in relative stasis and/or has already hit his developmental ceiling, imagine he's going to play. May depend on whether he's ambitious, but as he didn't transfer, will assume that he expected something more than another year picking splinters out of his butt. May not matter much whether he plays or not, but if he does (for reasons other than roster 'attrition'), that would be a good thing.
Am guilty of believing in (or at least allowing benefit of doubt to) IU Players until they provide cause against. As Logan has yet to show evidence that he doesn't belong, not going to write him off before the Season even begins.

Malik is really shining in practice right now is what I was told from someone who has watched film everyday.
I'm having a hard time seeing how LD gets regular minutes this season, since everyone is back except Durr and with Reneau joining.
Yet, you are confident LD will play… clearly you know nothing. I should call you John Snow
You certainly like to put words in other people's mouths. Are you Feepaw?
I got that impression from the few articles I have seen.
Would be great to have him contribute early and in a big way. If Malik was really great pre season, is there a way to play him, Trace, and Race at the same time?
