lol, the info and disinfo in these things is funny

would rather pick up 2 capable but avg bigs for depth and one more really good guard and then I think we'd be just fine. We don't *need* a 7ft rebounder who can't shoot FTs. Don't get me wrong I would love to see him commit though. Let's get Carlyle and the big from Minny.

some of these transfers will come just for the bag and if they play a minor role, so be it. Most of these guys aren't goin to make as much money playing basketball anywhere else in their lives. Not saying it's a bad thing...but I don't think Woody has to guarantee starter minutes to some of these guys to get them to come. Some of them should have an idea of whether or not they are pro basketball material or not and come get life changing bags at 19y old.

I think with these guys getting bags now, it actually makes it easier to not promise playing time or feel that pressure. “you’re getting paid, son. I don’t get paid if you don’t produce. Sit.”

That’s a good point. I think im being too negative on Rice. You’re right, with only Gallo and a rehabbed Newton, we don’t have any other dynamic ball handlers/defenders.

In the last 9 games of the season Rice went 0-22 from 3pt. Did we really need a bad 3pt shooter added to a team that was terrible at shooting the 3? Honestly….its dumbfounding. Where is this hype train for this kid coming from? Bc he avg double figures in the Pac12? The hype on this kid is like a magic trick- there’s no there there. Hoping I’m dead wrong and prove to be just a hater. We get someone like Hickman then I’ll get excited. Hell, even getting the big kid from AZ would be exciting….we do need another good big man for depth. Please, Woody please get a real shooter for gods sake.

We are handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars to players and I'd just hope we would try for someone who shoots better than 27% from 3pt, seeing as how we were essentially the worst 3pt shooting team in the country last year. But then again, Woody is our coach so it shouldn't be surprising.

Rice shot 27% from 3pt last year and avg 3.8 assists vs 2.6 TO....so that's actually worse than a healthy Xavier Johnson. We would be better off letting Gallo be point and getting in some actual shooters rather than a so-so point who can't shoot very well. IMO.

Welp....Woody looking to have 2 bigs starting again lol...dude is a great player but its just funny...

If Woody is dead set on starting MM at the 3 then yes you are right, it can't add up....but I think if he is forced to have MM at the 4 and Tucker at the 3 then Gallo at the 2 and a new PG could work..right?

Galloway is going to start for IU next season; I don't understand why people think Woody is going to start some new transfer guy(s) over Gallo. The only way Woody brings Gallo off the bench is if we land transfer guards or freshmen that are more talented *and* play harder than Gallo and there are only a few players out there that would fit that bill, none of which are being mentioned imo. Cupps is for sure going to get replaced in the starting lineup, but not Gallo. Woody isn't going to have a starting backcourt of potentially 2 new players and/or a guy who hasn't played ball in 2 years (Newton).

spot on lol

it's an odd place to criticize Purdue after they had a dominating year...but the critique most had of them was they were a giant surrounded by opportunistic mid players and that's exactly what they were last night. Most of their roster is average at best. They had a great year and sure whooped our butts....but at no point was I rooting for them lol. My B1G or Midwestern alliances do not include Purdue even though I like Painter and wish him personal success.

I hope Hickman commits. He’s the type of player we have needed for the last 6 years.

Carlyle shot 32% from 3 and avg more TOs than assists. We already have players that do that...lol.
