Tyra Buss vs Blackmon Jr

[coachmayhew 1,414]

Which player will make a bigger impact on their team, and which is more likely to bring home a banner? And for those who don't know they both are shooters.

Bring on the discussion!

I think it will be JB2 if either of them. Tyra is a great player (just look at those stats!), but she doesn't consistently play against stiff competition like Blackmon does. I don't want to call her overrated, because she isn't, but I feel that the transition will be easier for Blackmon.

I'll say Buss will make a bigger impact, mainly because she has the potential to take IU women's basketball to a level where it's never been. Blackmon will be trying to get us back to where we were last year and expect to be consistently.

I would actually say Tyra Buss would have the bigger impact.  Our women's team hasn't had much success, and she's a caliber player that hasn't played for IU.  If Curt Miller starts landing some more players of her caliber, we could look at her as really being the first.

 

Blackmon I would say has a better chance at hanging a banner though, because the men's team is closer than the women's team.  The women's team is improving but it still needs to upgrade talent in some areas (I'll say it again, we'll have a lethal back court), the men's team needs to improve in someways (cough, turnovers, cough) but it's not as much of a hill to climb as the women's team.

Which one will win the 3pt contest at Hoosier Hysteria next year?

Oh, how much fun would it be to watch a shoot-off between Buss and Blackmon? My best guess would be Tyra. But if they should get into a rhythm, it could be a site to see.

I'd say Tyra only because women's basketball is a lot easier to take over because of the lack of talent. JBJ will get a banner first. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Tyra may not be the best Freshman on IU's women's team next year. She did have 60 and 66 this past weekend, but 66 in a loss on Saturday night against Jackie Young out of Princeton. If Jackie Young goes to IU then you can start thinking about a banner.

I have heard that Young from Princeton is a Pro, but I thought she was a year behind. Either something needs to add some excitement to woman's college ball.

Jackie is either one or two years behind Buss, basically saying if IU has Buss, Young, and Muensterman that they will be the real deal!jackie Young will play in the WNBA
