Tucker to IU!

Well, just shoot more twos.The Eric Bossi profile on him doesn't paint him as a bricklayer and actually calls him smooth, offensively. Just that his range doesn't yet go out to 3-point stripe with any consistency:
Tucker is a big wing who has a pretty polished game on the offensive end of the floor. He is able to use his size to finish in the lane where he is also a very functional athlete who can get off the floor quickly in small spaces, changes direction well in traffic and has a great frame to build on in a college weight room. Where he really stands out, though, is with his ability to score from the mid range. Tucker gets to his spots without wasting dribbles, elevates and is problematic for defenses trying to stop him from scoring from between 12 and 17 feet.
As Tucker gets away from the rim and shoots deeper jumpers, his shot does tend to flatten out a bit so while he's not a poor shooter from beyond the three-point line, there's still plenty of room for him to improve out there. While he's able to quickly get to his spots for one and two dribble pull-ups, Tucker could also benefit from developing his handle a bit more. Because of his size and ability to carry more muscle on his lean frame, he should be able to make the adjustment to the college game relatively quickly.

To much talk of a rim protector. Did Miami need one when they beat our a$$? Most of the defensive work IU needs is at the guard spot. I’m ok with Malik at the 5. If you look at team blocks you won’t find many elite teams. In the top rankings.
I would like to welcome Bryson Tucker to our Hoosier Nation. Being a 5 star proves you have the dedication and mindset to achieve your goals. Looking forward to seeing you on the court.
Congrats young man.

Because, as we all know, shooting is the only skill that matters.Woody when he sees an athlete that can't shoot.
It is important, but so is having players who can do other things, contrary to what people here seemingly think.
Major missing parts last year. This years squad yet to be determined. If we have no on ball pressure or shooting next year I will join the boo birds… although I will not attack him personally
I was just being facetious. People think it’s unfathomable he plays next to him and Reneau. I think hes more suited at the 4 anyway.
He commented on how his offense works and just need to hit more shots.
Maybe you should pay attention rather than post snarky responses
Sweet get! If he can't shoot well yet, he still has talent.
Great news.
I figure Buckner is advising Coach on recruiting. "Find someone with a shot like mine. I was effective in college and had a good NBA career too. And I couldn't shoot a lick."
So that's why we don't recruit shooters.

I'm happy with a high quality scorer who apparently has very good defensive skills. IU still has plenty of spots open for shooters and another post player.
Keep barking at the moon. We had a rooster construction and key injuries that exacerbated our our issues. Every team with weak guards is either sitting at home with us or getting bounced from the tourney.
To add a player like this now is huge. Nice work CMW and staff. Still, a long way to go.
What fans need to realize is McNeely wasn't going to make them conference title contenders alone and neither will this kid regardless of how good he may be. They need to add shooters, legit size and a more dynamic PG. This kid is a nice first step in the right direction.

Very few IU fans on this board my guess is fans from other schools putting out bad vibes sad.
I’m paying plenty of attention. I’m only snarky with those who are still calling for a new coach while we are in the portal and those who make personal attacks.
Nobody is calling for a new coach next year anymore they decided to keep him. But he has alot to prove as a coach next season so many are not going to do cartwheels just cause he got one good player. He is going to have to prove it on the court and early on in the year we will see if anything has changed. He got two top ten players last spring and we missed the tourney so its hard to put much stock in what he gets until we see how he coaches them.
If you were paying attention then you would know how I was aware he doubled down on sticking with his offense.
You just can't handle someone with a different opinion so you feel the need to act like a child
The twitter crowd begs to differ! In fact some think we can now go back and get mcneely to commit again. If nothing else twitter is a good read for pure comedy.
Has there been any news on McNeely since he recommitted?
I, for one, would still take him but I'm sure the "I hate CMW crowd" would not welcome him.
I would much rather MR play the 5 then have another year of two big men clogging the paint. It's 2024 and that doesn't win games that matter.
IU needs a solid backup big to spell him and two dynamic guards. If Mgbako comes back to play the 4 and those two things happen then Indiana might be okay next year.
Nothing. The hate CMW crowd actually knew he was the kind of player the team needed but with tucker on board and MM maybe coming back the three position would be very crowded and I assume they all want to start. I dont think there is any chance he would come back one of the reasons he backed out was because of the offense woodson runs.
