I think he can become a good perimeter shooter. He showed signs of this late in the season and if he can be a legitimate threat from 3 that’ll really change his game and how opponents approach defending him.
Race is returning
- Thread starter Hoosierfan1901
- Start date
Seriously? I’ve been expecting him to return.
After it was reported the other day that he sighed a 6 figure NIL deal I figured staying was his best option. No surprise for me.
Great news! Glad to have RT back for one more year!
Not ppg they didn’t. Gonzaga did. Kansas was 25th. Of course they had more points by the end because they played 40 games.
So our current lineup is
PG- X
SG- Bates, Galloway
SF- Geronimo
PF- Race
C- Logan?
And then the freshnen?

Ranked 216th in percentage and 264th in makes. Our best shooter is gone. Yes, we were/are awful at shooting.
Sorry for the truth bombs.Get the **** outta here with facts. Nobody was talking to you.

I was a little off. We were 216th in percentage as I stated, but I WAY overestimated our makes per game rank. We actually were 311th in makes. Embarrassing.
He's got experience..
He's pretty physical...
He's shot is ok...Guess that could improve more..Free throws are shaky too..
But his defense on close outs ..And foot speed to help on rotations..Is very subpar...And I think he's really only about 6" 7...
The pluses probably outweigh the minuses...

Not as worried about makes if we are scoring a lot inside. And there are a lot of other factors that go into that stat. 3pt% is pretty clear on our ability to hit the shots (not adjusted for comp). TeamRankings has us at 197th for 3%, regardless it isn’t good. Need to up that a couple more points or more next year, and if we can do that while increasing volume, that would give us a much better chance to flip the script on some of those close games we lost this past year.2021-22 Indiana Hoosiers Men's Roster and Stats | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

We lost our best shooter and didn’t addd any shooters, yet you expect our percentage and volume to go up….
Not everyone has said they are coming back. Is there a last day to enter the portal?
Kansas was 205th and 265th. You think we will average 6 more points or 6 points less next season? IU isn’t as far off as some think. Defensively we are there. Offensively we are closer than you think.2021-22 Indiana Hoosiers Men's Roster and Stats | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

Lol we aren’t close to comparable to Kansas offensively. They are Kenpom 6th and we are 94th.
You think bringing the whole team back and adding those incoming freshmen ..
Gets Indiana where ?
Gotta have NBA guys in college to really do business...
Both TJD and Race are still in college because they don't have a NBA skill set..
I expect guys to further improve their shooting. Literally every player who returned from CAMs last team improved their FG%, except for one. No reason that can’t happen and the incoming team members are an unknown. I don’t expect the freshmen to come in and shoots lights out, but we may get a surprise by one or two of them.
In addition, an off-season to work through things and improve the lagging offense could prove very beneficial. None of us know what is going to happen, but we could just as easily be an overall better shooting team. I guess we will find out.
8 points a game separated us. You think that’s a lot? You think maybe we shoot better or worse next year? Are we 4 points better? Oh and I’m not implying we are closer to winning a national title like Kansas. I’m simply saying we are 6-8 points a game from being really good.

Gets Indiana closer to top of conference . You think adding another 5 star Is going to hurt? You think no one is going to get better. ?
The " stats" showed IU as the 95th ranked offense in the country in terms of efficiency, Kansas on the other hand was ranked 17th.
We must have different definitions of "not that far off".
Bottom line is we're going to have to make major changes to our offense to even get close to Kansas, assuming our starting lineup is similar.
Gunn won’t play, and won’t shoot 36+% as a freshman
He's a good player but he's not as great as a lot of IU fans make him out to be, he was also horrible down the stretch.
I didn’t say he would. I guess we will see if he plays or not. You said we didn’t add any shooters.
He had a rough last couple games. But he was our glue guy the majority of the season.
