Seems like a self fulfilling scenario, a no **** type of comment I have been a huge Galloway fan and hope we get him and think Leal could help us too but perhaps need Galloway’s competitiveness the most. As I’ve always said, I just want Archie to get the kids he wants and not to have to settle for options H, I, and J. I will never understand the strategy of leaving 2 scholarships open when we have a kid on roster that may never play college ball and his rosters have historically been riddled with injuries. People can spin those open scholarships in a positive way if they want but I would hope not to hear those same people use injuries as an excuse if things don’t come together Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Yeah we are going into next year with 8 scholarship players who have played a college basketball game. We are ridiculously thin and if we have an injury to Phinisee look poised to have difficulty again Quote
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 It’s not that I’m an Archie hater. I just think Holtman is a lot better. I thought that 2 years ago, and I think that now. He was the guy I wanted from the get go. Him or Chris Mack. I wanted guys from the Big East. Not a guy from an A-10 school. Think about that. We hired a coach from the Atlantic 10. It says a lot about the state of Indiana basketball. Archie did some good things at Dayton, but he’s struggling trying to adjust to this level of basketball. Offensively, he doesn’t have much of a clue. He has failed to address how important having good shooting means in this conference.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersIn the early 70s we hired a guy from ArmySent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote

Absolutely. I completely get the fascination with 5* players, and if we get one here and there, it's probably a good thing; but I think we saw a year ago that having a 5* recruit on your team doesn't necessarily mean winning, and it can be disruptive if team chemistry is good. I've coached against some really good players who were 3* kids or even lower. Many have gone on to very successful college careers; and most of the rankings are based on athleticism and size, anyway. Indiana - especially under Archie - needs basketball players. If they're highly ranked basketball players, that's great. But give me a kid who understands the game and not just the sport. Give me a kid who understands angles, help positioning, body control, and a mofo who can absolutely shoot it!! Stuhoo, JaybobHoosier, Ranger78 and 3 others 6 Quote

Popular Post Uspshoosier Posted July 22, 2019 Author Popular Post Posted July 22, 2019 BUMP TIMERANKN/A - NATIONAL - STATE 34 POSITIONTREYGALLOWAY6'3" | 180 LBS | SGCULVER ACADEMIESCULVER, INCLASS OF 2020UNDECIDEDWhy him?: We debated whether or not Galloway should make his way back into the rankings when we updated them in late June. I wasn't so sure he had earned his way in. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. Galloway does a little bit of everything you would like to see a guard do and he plays with a tremendous motor. It's hard to think we won't be able to find a spot for him in the next update to the 2020 Rivals150.Recruitment: Indiana is thought to be the leader with Iowa, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State among the others involved.

MikeRoberts Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I’ve been a big fan of Galloway for a while but just watched his latest video and I am even more convinced he is exactly what we need. Effort, basketball smarts, moves off the ball as well as anyone on our current roster... sign him up!Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Ranger78, thebigweave, Alford Bailey and 3 others 6 Quote
Popular Post HoosierTrav Posted July 23, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 23, 2019 I would really like for IU to get both Galloway and Leal. So much better than given credit. In my eyes, they are perfect for Archie’s style of play. Tough on the defensive end, understand how to move without the ball, understand how to move the ball and both can shoot the 3. These are the kids that would otherwise go to Purdue and kick our a$$ for 3-4 years. Honestly, I’m over the shiny objects. If we can fill the roster with kids like this and sprinkle in the TJD’s, Romeo’s, and occasional high 4-5 star, we will compete year in and year out. jepwatso, ElectricBoogaloo, cthomas and 18 others 21 Quote
