Time to get it Robert!  #hardworkleadstotoughness

Over the early summer concerns were expressed about Green and his ability to contribute given that we weren't hearing much about him.  Then, we started hearing more postive and upbeat comments.  The link is to an interesting article on how Archie tracks player practice performance and has implemented a gold jersey award.

"Miller handed out his first IU gold jersey last week to Devonte Green, a sophomore guard on the short list of players who have stood out among the rest during the preseason."

Maybe Green was just a little slower to buy into Archie's philosophy.

I wasn't seeing this happening. Good lord I am glad that it looks like I was very wrong!

It could have simply been that Green didn't spend the summer in Bloomington. Over the summer, Archie seemed to mostly be talking about the guys that were there, which makes sense. Doesn't mean Green wasn't bought into the philosophy.

Green, Mcswain, & Morgan.... sounds like a little different tune than we were expecting or hearing at first.... If the 3 of them are big contributors we are in for a great ride!

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Again, not surprised.

Green passed every eye test for me last year. Besides some decision making.

Hoping to see extended run from Green this year.

Our player reps at B1G media day in NYC.  Don't they look like they just stepped out of a GQ photo shoot?  And note that Hartman is bootless!

Those colors clash too much for my liking. I like what Newkirk's rocking though.

Yeah I like what Newkirk and Hartman have on.

As I mowed this morning, I was thinking about the roster. Lol.

Anyway, McRoberts. He was a regular rotation player for Crean last year. I highly doubt we see much of McRoberts, but he isn't a bad player overall.

Anyway, does he get more than mop up minutes for Archie?

I think Archie will get him more than mop up minutes, he is the kind of player I feel like Archie loves. Super hard working, does not beat his own team. We will see him.

If he's more than a niche player, and I mean a small niche, than either health-wise or developmentally this season isn't going the way we want it to. Maybe early he gets some time. But if CH and JM stay healthy and Smith and Moore develop on schedule, I don't see where his minutes come from.

I agree. No problems with him on the court.

Well................

Besides he can't/won't shoot the ball and his defender backs off of him and clogs the lane. Have to at least garner the opposition's respect.

He's fine as a 9th best player type role. Again, no issue with him getting mins.

Archie allowing sleeves finally isn't a major deal, but it is very cool. Does nothing to ruin tradition or anything. I have always wondered why no kids could wear them. Just seems weird. Thank god Archie changed this.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Saw a bunch of terrible shots last night. Fingers crossed we can find what we can do well on the offensive end. Or hopefully it was first night jitters.

I also think missing Newkirk and Hartman had an impact. We looked like a 9/14 BIG team last night.

NOTE- im not judging this teams potential on that little scrimmage. Just saying last night didn't show a well oiled machine. Glimpses of great plays here and there.

I'm going to next weekends exhibition game. Taking the family. Super excited about it.

Devonte Green is going to be a star.

I think by next year he’ll be really, really good. Has all the talent to be a star, just needs to put it all together mentally.
