He's been described as the best ISO player in the 24 class and one with a complete offensive skill set. Walking bucket.
Would have been better off with them. He’ll be wasted here.
I wasn’t suggesting we pass. I was simply saying this is a case of our shit coach dropping a bag on whatever leftovers were available.
Kansas and Duke wanted that leftover too.
Does “knowing a lot” entail regurgitating basketball reference statistics in a sanctimonious manner you shit stain?
Also, for IU to make a jump that people want, Woodson is going to need to pull in some solid players that will end up coming off the bench. Is Tucker a presumptive starter or a guy that plays a supporting role for IU next year? We will probably have a better idea of that in couple of weeks once roster slots start filling up
If MM stays, he really needs to play the 4. The problem is Reneau isn't yet much of a rim protector to be our lone presence in the post.
I think for alot of us it is not going to matter how many good players woodson gets this spring he will have to prove early on next seasons things have changed. He brought in two five star players last spring and we still missed the tourney. I was high on them last offseason and then boom the season stunk. So at this point woodson is going to have to prove it on the court just having a good roster on paper does not mean much to me anymore. Since we are removed from the season now and people are not seeing him coach twice a week I think it is easy to forget he has not been very good coch.
Another insightful response from our resident expert. I knew we could count on you.
It is not going to be that simple he will have to change the way he plays or it will not matter. Look at the way Nebraska just tore us apart three times with its modern offense and no way they had better talent they were just a far better team who knows how to use the three.
But MM wants to play the three and I sure the NBA scouts will also tell him he is three in the NBA.
No it hasn’t, we’ve been a train wreck for a while now. Takes a little bit to resurrect a dead brand. We are the bud light of basketball.
When woodson is doubling down on running a bad offense, it is plenty long enough.
Guards and shooters, if we get better on ball defensive players maybe we don’t need to score as many points. It’s death by a combination of issues. No out side shooting couple with poor defense on the perimeter.
There are 6-7 spots to fill. Getting a big man now does not preclude getting 2 guards later.
I have no reason to believe this kid is anything but a good player. But with this coaching staff does it really matter?
Harder to find mid-range scorers these days. Adds a whole new threat level to the offense. And we still have lots of room for long range guys.
Until the part where they need coaching. This year sucked, but for me, last year was all I needed to see from Coach Third Person Ego. We had 3 5*’s, one of which was a top player in the country, another of which was a first round pick, an upperclassman grad transfer that could shoot (but was told it wasn’t the coach’s job to get him shots), and still got smoked in the first weekend of the tournament. This guy could sign the dream team & we’d be middling. The repeated blowouts by virtually all good teams we play is quite telling.
The thing is it will be year four so we pretty much know what to expect . Wooson brought in high level talent last spring and and we still didnt make the tourney. If he does not drastically change his offense nothing is going to change. We have a three year sample now and pound it in the post is not going to get you far in the tourney no matter how much talent you have.
