A couple thoughts to add here -- A good friend of mine out East watched/scouted both Oladipo (at DeMatha) and Geronimo. During Vic's recruitment and commitment he told me Vic was going to be a stud in college, that he was then a double-guy with boards as a guard, that his D was way ahead of his O which was still developing, but that he was exceptional and would do really well at IU. Couldn't have been more right. Around when Geronimo committed he told me Geronimo was better at the same age as Vic, further along, also better defensively at his current development but better than Vic was at that age. That's seriously high praise. Then coming into this season there were several comments from inside the program that Geronimo was wowing guys in practice. I think he's farther along already than his court time is indicating. His stroke looks smooth to me, fwiw. Back on the Adidas Gauntlet he was shooting around 36% from deep, Jerry Meyer scouted him and tabbed him a good spot-up 3-point shooter, his limitations were his handle/straight-line drives. I remember reading somewhere that he shot close to 40% his junior year (not sure if that's right but that's what I remember). He was the 2019 NH Gatorade POY, and with that he had a GPA just under 4.0. The kid is good, smart and a hard worker, he's just going to get better, great work ethic. Not calling him Vic, but I think he'll develop into an exceptional player and should start by next season, imo.

IU -- 67 NWU / where all my money goes to my kid's ridiculous tuition -- 63 -- That's reason enough why we have to win!

Congrats and welcome aboard CJ! Character and dedication pay off, great to see him headed to our IU

Not sure but can’t imagine he would go from playing 17-18 mpg and having won the gold jersey to losing all his minutes to Jordan. Makes more sense to me that, as Cam said, he’ll play when CAM thinks he’s ready again

Gotcha thanks!

Cool thanks — I have no idea just going with rumors at this point, being kept out of 2 games for a Covid protocol violation seems extreme but again no idea

Drake was undefeated until 6-12 Valpo knocked them off today

Hey Bow how goes it — I’m really hoping to see Hunter back. Loved the end game shots today but damn our starting guards were shooting bad until then

No standard protocol per se, completely up to CAM, but while not standard you often see teams do 2-3 games. Especially after just having won the gold jersey you would think we’ll see Hunter in the next game or maybe the one after. He probably has to pass another first

Finally!

Pretty wild that this is the first time since 1960 that Duke and UNC have played each other unranked

And ...
