Walking Boot of Doom Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Upside has little to do with college. I agree, but the disconnect between a projected first round pick and a 12th man on a .500 college basketball team is unreal. I’m very curious what’s going on with Moore - it’s not like Crean is the only one who saw him as a potential superstar. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

He's a 6-4 guard from Evansville. Pros: Sneaky athleticism, he almost plays 35 minutes a game Smooth shot, shooting 40 percent from 3 Gets to the line, 85 percent from free throw Spreads the floor really well Good vision, drive and kick ability is impressive Quick dribble Quick shot release Can finish through contact, he had two and-1's tonight Cons: Questionable defensively, gave up 27 points to Eugene German, to be fair he's leading the MAC in scoring 4 TO's, averages 1.5 per game Not a great rebounder, but had 7 tonight Was hesitant to shoot at times If I had to make a reasonable comparison, I would say a Nick Zeisloft type, who can't shoot quite as well but he is more athletic and mobile than him. Similar in-game IQ. I think him playing off the bench would be valuable, and would add much needed shooting to the lineup. Actually, Sanford's 3 PT% is pretty much right in line with Zeisloft before he came here. Both were about 38% for their career. Class of '66 Old Fart and mdn82 2 Quote

OG had a terrific AAU season between junior and senior year. He was a 4* recruit in some services. So was Morgan. Sheehey was nobody he couldn't have found within 2 hours of Bloomington. Devin Davis was also highly rated. None of the players on your list other than maybe Anunoby have out-performed their ranking. Oladipo was a 3^ who became the college basketball player of the year and #2 draft pick. Can't agree with any "if's."

And that kid was at DeMatha (not exactly hidden) with a better work ethic than most of the world. Lot of others wore jerseys and made contributions of one kind or another; but most flamed miserably.

Stuhoo Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 29 minutes ago, Hardwood83 said: If that happens (assuming we don't get Romeo) I'll drop my already moderate expectations for next season. I understand neither Green nor Durham are irreplaceable but only having 2 scholarship guards (one a freshman) is not a recipe for success. There are always grad transfers, and the Sanford kid sounds promising and all, but that should be a complimentary piece, not to fill a glaring deficiency. **sigh** I get tired of the constant doom and gloom, but it's discouraging to think it could easily be 2-3 yrs before IU is where we want it. But, Rob Phinisee, Romeo Langford, either Durham or Green, and a guy like Sanford would be a fantastic guard rotation. And, as much as I'm a fan of RoJo, that would be a huge overall upgrade. bnkepner and Class of '66 Old Fart 2 Quote
