Actually, perfect from the field

Not as obvious but very, very, important is that he is very DURABLE so he misses very few days due to injury.
Really? How old are you. Yea I loved his jump pass while falling out of bounds along the baseline.
Yogi was a cancer until his senior year. Cody is a 100% the man Yogi ever dreamed of being.
Agreed, he was that. I always said one of the things that kept Crean from being exposed sooner on not building adequate rosters was Yogi's durability. Had he had some injuries, it would have been more noticeable that we didn't have a backup from his freshman year until he was a senior, because he didn't recruit one after Remy Abell left, until we got Josh Newkirk... and then he was not good. Yogi hid that oversight by being durable.
I think cancer is way over the top for how good a player Yogi was. Also, for the most part, he was doing what he was being asked to do, by his Coach, or at least was doing what he wasn't being reprimanded for with reduced PT. For example, I always felt he could be a much better defender, but I also never felt Crean pushed him to defend like other coaches would have.
Whatever malady you think he was, I would take a recurrence now.
Yogi the only IU player to attempt to use a fake ID to get into a Bloomington Bar. I wonder if Romeo has tried nobody would probably recognize him.
You mean he was the only player ever caught at it don't you?
It's a hypothetical but I'd love to see what kind of player Yogi or Troy Williams might have been under Archie. Would they have thrived, been the same or been run off or turned off? Hopefully we'll get answers to his ability to develop players in coming years.
He probably needed one to get on campus... his freshman year he looked like he was a 14 year old kid.
Yeah. Understatement. Quickest guy on the floor giving 8 feet of space 25 feet from the hoop.
With Yogi, the shot he hit at Iowa washed away some of my negatives. Big Ten titles are lovely.
The guy was one of the more frustrating players we've ever had imo, but his physical skills are hard to ignore. I just wonder if a Coach with a plan, who emphasized D and would sit a player for making dumb plays could have helped him. Physically he had the tools to be a monster. Heck, if he'd just learned to outlet a rebounded ball to Yogi and then take off to the rim, he'd have been a much less frustrating player. Couple that with applying those abilities on D and you'd have had an all-conference player. Get Yogi engaged in D and hounding the ball handlers and that should have been a wicked pairing.
I value basketball IQ over physical traits because high basketball IQ makes everyone around that player better...
that being said..
Troy Williams was so dumb he made players around him dumber.
