I disagree. He can keep the ball in front of him.. The ball doesn't stick in his hands and he cuts well, opportunisticly... Two people he doesn't mesh with... Malik, Ballo.

We had people on this website call Xavier Johnson a "dog" .... wow lol

Could you imagine paying 600k for Cupps lol

correct... also... gives us big bodies to go against in practice. I would have certainly preferred CTC to have a higher "hit" rate... but I don't think that means the strategy was wrong.

that's a crazy phenom starting, huh

I think I value him less than some with whom we've gained in the portal. I would expect the final two spots to be filled with guys who are valued more than a "filler", even if they wouldn't see the floor much. I know the 7ft foreign route bothered some posters by Crean.... but I actually liked it lol

yes yes and yes.... Now I'm done with that part of the discussion. Back to ball... Someone mentioned yesterday... we might be looking for some younger guys to fill the final spots, I like that route, at least starting out.... not a fan of leaving a scholly open, that burned Woodson one year, and I think the optics are poor.

It 100% is when others start to crap on posters' discussion because they have to sift through an extra page or two to find "news"... they think there are daily updates and they're "missing out".... they are the ones out of line. Like the post two posts above us.

found one! A little bit delayed from when they're usually posted... but found one!

where else was he going to go?

I think my ultimate issue with someone like @WayneFleekHoosier being overly critical is ..... DDV JUST built a Top 25 at WVU without one of his starters. Literally, it's a fact... with a fraction of the resources IU had last year.... DDV took "gambles" on Sincere Harris, Hansberry, Powell... made them function well together, convinced Small to come star for them.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What if we had hired DDV last season and we had gotten WVU's results in the Bahamas.....

Sorry... doesn't matter that a convo drags on IF THE CONVO IS ON TOPIC.

I think we'd all be better here if everyone just worried about themselves. (that's not critique of your post, it's an add on) The moment anyone tries to have a convo in any thread.... You get 2, 3, 4 posters whining about a conversation dragging on... like it doesn't' f'ing matter if a convo drags on, it's LITERALLY why we have a spot like this to talk sports. The bottom line... people actually come here for "news" which is absolutely baffling. Make a twitter acct, search "IUBB" every morning when you wake up.

Then we'd have to teach all of that in practice

Really confusing post

Then he's a fool lol You don't roll a lineup out like this and not utilize the ability to switch, which we will. Especially in transition, scramble situations.

Betcha they do

dear god.. lock this kid in a weight room

Neither one will get killed in space, though. That's why we have them switch.

yes lol but he's a 4 and not someone you play with a back to the basket big guy

because of OGs injury But... we aren't close to the only team replacing a lot.... I couldn't imagine us not being in T25 lists to start the year.

switch a lot and double the post

Also at a little bit of ease knowing how well WVU was rolling last year when marginally healthy (still without Stone)... legit were a T25 team until TDV went down.

concur. Defense is about awareness and understanding a scouting report, too, though.

Don't we all
