His team did decent, I think.

I thought he stood out the most on that team out of the guards. Created his own shot and seemed willing to drive to the hoop

His team did decent, I think. 

He was losing playing time to another Sophomore guard, Forrest and also Savoy drastically. He’s a solid player for sure. Not a standout. Might want to research.

Hamilton’s rotations had a lot to do with it. He went about 10 deep. Rajohns spoke with CJ walkers dad tonight and he said IU hasn’t reached out yet and said the large rotation didn’t fit CJ

Yeah, makes sense but he was losing time to
Forrest and Savoy as the season progressed beyond the rotation size.

Still was trusted enough by Hamilton to play him during winning time late in games. CJ hit 2 clutch FTs at the end of the Xavier game. His min were going down. Only played 9 min in Missouri game. I still think IU could do a lot worse. In my opinion he is going somewhere where he can play a ton of min and personally I don’t think it will be at IU

He was a good player on an Elite 8 team. I remember him being the 7th man on a 3 seed as a FR.

That’s my point. His minutes have been declining heavily at FSU. He’s a solid player. I don’t think it’s what IU needs unless he’s willing to be a similar player for us and be willing to be a 10-15 minute guy.

People are making him out to be the reason FSU had a good tournament. It’s not the case. Some people like to argue for S&G’s.

He played 13 minutes a game and averaged around 5 ppg. That season. He was not reason that team was good. They had tremendous size and athleticism in the starting 5.

He’s a fine player. But let’s not misappropriate the credit for the teams successes.

Agree. He's a tough kid and he really competes. Would be fine with having him as a rotational piece. But, if he's good enough to beat out a Sophomore Phinisee for significant minutes, than Phinisee will have been a disappointment.

I never said he was the reason. I actually said he was the 7th man on a team that was top 12 in the country as a FR. He would avg 20 mins for us. I like him much more than Durham and I like him more than Green. It takes guys like him to win.

That's simply not true about RP.

Not saying that to be critical of Phinisee. My expectation of him, based on admittedly limited viewings,  is that he's just a notably more talented player than Walker. Little more size, better athlete, better shooter, more instinctive PG skills. I think he's going to be really good. And after a year in the program I would be surprised, and, yeah,  disappointed, if he's not better than Walker will ever be. I think his ceiling is much higher.

Robert Morris sophomore guard Dachon Burke will transfer, sources told ESPN. Put up 17.6 and 5.7 this season. Should be highly sought after.

A lot of good transfers are on the market. I wonder if IU will land one.

I would be shocked if we don't land a grad transfer this year. The kid from Evansville and from Wake Forest come to mind immediately.

That is outstanding. In other words, we’ve got plan 1 and plan 1A all set.
