I made money on IU last year gambling. I lost money when Romeo shot the worst percent from three in the history of IU bball. People saying he had a good IU career is what I have issue with. He had bad numbers and was a volume shooter. One of the main reasons we didn’t make the tourney is because he shot so much to avg 16 a game. You know how bad it is to shoot under 30% from three at the volume he did? No chance that ever happens in the Woodson era.
No. I figure she is more of a tag on a water tower type.
Rob Phinisee would like a word. In his last two years Phinisee was 44/168 (26%).
He did as a freshman. You also said there was no chance it would happen in the Woodson era, and Rob played for Woodson.
Volume shooter! Rob took what, 70 threes last year??? That is my whole point woody did not allow that. Romeo took like 125!!! At 27%!!!
Not true. 19.9 PER is pretty damn good for a freshman wing. Where he excelled was fouls drawn. His numbers almost equal TJD in that category. 7.1 to 7.7 per 40.
Oh for sure I am under selling him. I have to, everyone else literally named courts after him.
I believe Ivey for instance hit 7.1 only this year. He thrived on fouls.
I think romeo had a lot more to give. That team had no business losing 12 of 13. It was probably 90% Archie, but I think Romeo could have tried harder. I have heard no1 say he was a tireless worker and devoted himself to the game. That’s who I would name a court after.
So do I, but I don't know if that was purely on him or how much Miller had to do with it. Those teams had no real cohesiveness, drive, passion or fortitude. Every one of them quit before the season was over and half the time I don't think they even wanted to be there.
I think losing 12 of 13 is more on the coaches and upperclassmen than the freshman stud. It absolutely should have never happened, and it should have been the writing on the wall for the Archie Miller era. I admittedly did not jump off the Archie train until halfway through his final season.
So now a dump on Bailey. He had terrible knees yet played great ball for us and with great heart. Couldn't make it in the pros. It happens to plenty of guys. So what? Damon deserves every accolade he got. Ditto Romeo.
I doubt that you care, but the less you talk about yourself the more I like you.He isn't that good at basketball, and people are naming courts after him. Most OR player I have ever seen, and it is obvious I have a problem with his time at IU. He and Archie couldn't make the tourney with a senior Juwan. Pitiful.
But I mean if we want to talk obsessed..... Me posting a story and taking lil shots at a former IU player on a bball board isn't really what I would consider obsessed. But asking your friends and acquaintances about me years ago.... A random guy at the time on a message board, not the mega world wide superstar Cavanagh's Corner is today.... Ya that is obsessive.
Delray Brooks, for starters.What top 3 or even 5 indiana recruit has flamed out, not due to injury(don’t say Greg) I’ll help, you can count on one finger geezer
Why care? Indiana high school legend and who the hell else are they going to name the court after? Also, seems like I remember him giving back to the community with outdoor courts/money, but I could be wrong.
