Verdell Jones and Jordan Hullls were better than 2020 IU backcourt Green and Durham. Hulls was not good on D but what an offensive player he was! I know many in here dont think IU can use a pure shooter that is not a high flyer, but watching Hulls makes me rethink that. Luke Brown or Jalen Blackmon step back 3s like Hulls would be sweet to see in an IU uniform. Is there any chance that either could be offered a preferred walk-on position like McRoberts that eventually lead to a possible scholarship if they proved their worth and value on offense as a Hoosier player? Would Hulls or Verdell be recruited instead if who IU is recruiting in 2021, no. But they were Both on the court for most of the game against #2 Ohio State. Floor spacing with perimeter shooters looks great in this game, I did not realize how poorly the 2020 IU team shot the ball compared to teams of the not too distant past. IU needs shooters badly.and that 2011 IU team had Matt Roth also. Roth would also not be recruited instead of who IU is recruiting in 2021. But having no player like Hulls, Verdell, or Roth lets teams pack the lane against TJD, Brunk, and Race.
