Probably not. Hawkins is gone after this.

Is Dusty our new Brad?

Kansas State flopping on everything and the refs eating it up.

I mean Smith would have still been out of the wing, but maybe Woody could have gotten him into better spots than Archie did.

I mean people want to talk crap about Smith, but I'd rather have him playing the 4 over Race. Just my opinion though.

Well we weren't exactly good, but better than Archie's last season.

Possibly... But Justin Smith also won us some games and we really sucked the year after he left.

I'm not buying the Furst stuff... How many times did we hear it about Brooks?

Not sure this fanbases obsession with height, but I'd take him. We need another ball handler and shooter. Could play next to Johnson because he can work off ball. Could be be any worse a defender then Hulls was? A team defense should be able to hide that. Question would be whether he could play man to man after playing zone for so long.

Probably not plodding, but also not Zeller. More athletic than Reneau. It'd really just depend on their progress shooting.

"If Race was an All-american we would have been better." Uh duh? But Indiana basketball for literally the past 50 years has been ran through a post player for a majority of the time. There have been times with Woodson, Zeke, Alford, Cheaney and Yogi but outside of that May/Benson, Henderson, Haston, Jeffries, Killingsworth, White, Zeller, TJD. Been a bigans team. And with success. I mean Zeller literally made a 12 win team into a 27 win team. Sure we could use a 4 that shoots, but we don't know what progress Malik will make from 3 or Furst(in this hypothetical).

Whybdoes Indiana need to run offense through a perimeter oriented 4? When has Indiana ever done that? Whether anyone likes it or not, Indiana has ran through the post more often than not in history. Malik and First can make a jump to being good enough shooters to play together. And if Furst were coming to IU, it wouldn't be to come off the bench behind Malik.

I'd start him at the 4/5. He's talented offensively. Would be much different than a TJD/Race duo... I think Malik can take a big step in his 3pt shooting and Furst could be a decent stretch 5. But he's got 2-3 inches on Malik. So he'd probably be the starting 5.

They also play the Rutgers/NW style. They hacked the absolute sh!t out of Duke last b game and refs just let it slide.

No clue. But I'm going to guess the likelihood of finding a 3 that can score and defend is pretty low. I'll take scoring if we are running and gunning next season.

Arizona State gave Hurley an extension. Why? I don't know. But they did.

The only portal guy I really want...

It looks like he was trying to match his eyebrows to the jersey stripe.

My optimism for IU basketball is for 2 years down the road. Next year is merely growing pains.

Played with offensive weapons and still got about 8 points a game and lead the team in assists. Pretty good for a freshman... He was also a 5 star so that was expected.

I'd definitely trust a freshman Yogi with the ball well before an any year Gallo.

I want what this guy is smoking.
