Chris007 got a reaction from Home Jersey in Fire Coach Woodson + Assessment of Former Posters
It seems we're asking or trying to get Malik to do things that are not really in his wheelhouse. He's not a stretch 4. We're heck-bent on fitting the square peg in that round hole. Just my opinion. Just seems like we try to get talent but never figure out how to put the puzzle pieces together.

I agree that we need another shooter or two. One might already be on the roster.
Two years ago, TG had excellent shooting statistics. Last year, he fell off considerably.
I have to think that with the addition of Rice and hopefully Carlyle, the onus on Troy will lessen considerably. Not having to be the primary ballhandler and not having to guard the opposing teams' best player might do wonders in keeping Troy fresher. Not playing as many minutes will help keep him from wearing down.
I don't know that he will return to the shooting numbers from two years ago, but I feel confident he will shoot better than las year.

@Chris007 Upgrading talent may make all the difference in the world, if they only had some coaching. Yet on the other side of that statement that I can't figure out. I complain about coaching then two back to back B1G FOY's, two center's in a row getting NBA drafted ... some coaching has to be going on for that to happen.
Woodson said from day one ... he would recruit talent and even recruit over people for the best talent. The problem with that is, as we all know .... sometimes all that talent doesn't fit the team puzzle for success.
If we could just hit shots, defend the 3, hit foul shots, and leave the lane open .... who knows what would happen.

I understand the concerns with Reneau playing the 5 but their going to be concerns with any lineup. Just like now that it's still clogged and no shooters.
But I know we are rolling with these guys and I hope we win it all. But just don't feel like we fixed anything from last season other than upgrading talent.

Funny thing is we played more 3 guard lineups in the 80's then we do now

This is just me personally but if we wanted to keep the current players we did, then I would have gone out and got Conwell and the kid from Evansville first thing. You have your dominant post player in Reneau, then he is surrounded by guys who can shoot the 3 and get to the basket. The offense would have been much more smooth and fluid

And excellent defense against the 3 ball.

I remember after talking to an equipment guy at Crean's Fantasy Camp in 2012 that Adidas was much better than when they previously had Nike. I'd love to see Under Armour or Jordan bid on it.

We have too much to do to be tying our shoes, so with our new Crocs we can just slip on and go

I’d be shocked if Woodson abandons his nail-slot-rim defense. And yeah, it’s a sieve for giving up three point shots.
It’s exacerbated by playing “big” with Mgbako at the 3 and Malik at the 4. So we control the paint but no one cares, they just launch wide open threes to beat us.

LOL ... what that wouldn't do to IU's guard situation. Competition would be fierce in practice for playing time. How many total minutes are available in a game? 200 .... some are not going to play as much as they want.

I am taking projections out of the equation and just going on simplistic blind numbers — past performance. It’s not advanced by any means. I am just not seeing how these two moves, and these two moves only, make us a championship contender. They may be some of the better players available, but their stats don’t jump off the charts compared with what we lost. With these two additions are we really significantly better than we have been the past three years? Or will we be back here in November saying the things we did the past three years.
Plus we need to pass the time until the next visits this weekend. :)

What? Really? That seems like it would be seismic.

I've seen other rumblings about him. Why doesn't he want to stay at UNC?

I think those deals are finalized and announced in July if I remember right.

He’s not starting for Michigan or Maryland either.

We’re down to a shooter, backup center and save the last scholarship for a rainy day.

Chris007 got a reaction from thebigweave in Transfer Portal w IU Interest
I don’t think so since he’s made the rounds already. But IU would take him. My guess is he’ll tell us what his offers have been then it’s up to us to decide what we want to do.

I saw this question earlier and I can’t find it now but the reason I know and others like my BFF Tyme know that Carlyle is coming is because his NIL deal has been agreed upon. So now he comes to visit and announces his commitment.

Sweet 16 should be minimum with that roster. But I usually have a little higher bar than the true fans.
