HoosierAloha Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I don’t think 2018 was lackluster. But definitely as of now we have one player who is returning from it expected to contribute that’s Rob. We are hopeful Jerome will. Jake and Romeo are gone. And Damezi probably needs another year. 2019 was lackluster in my book because I would bet 2 of them are gone in 2 years. TJD and Brunk. We have one long term recruit in Franklin. We desperately tried to get another guard because we are going to be very thin there in 2020. And just in our offers we lost out on 9 of 10 most likely the 10th coming soon. That’s just offers we handed out to guards besides Franklin. So now even if we have a decent year in 2019 we are a rob injury away from a disappointing 2020 because we won’t have any experienced depth at guard. That’s not how you build sustained success Will we be thin at guard in 2020?Senior - DurhamJunior - Phin, AndersonSophomore - FranklinFreshman - ?? Hopefully, by that point we’re playing a more traditional wing at the 3 and not a third guard or small wing. I’d be happy with a grad transfer or regular transfer to fill in that last guard spot. Also, I’m certain will be after a few guards in the 2020 class. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Got to think one of the guards (Robinson, black, woods, Francis) looks elsewhere Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners That didn't take long to come to fruition! Quote

Uspshoosier Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Why? Why do we need to count on more that 4 guards to contribute? When was the last time we counted on more than 4?In this case calling Anderson a guard and expecting him to play as a guard would be my concern. They planned on turning him into a big guard but sometimes what you want and the reality of the situation are different. This is only my opinion but I don’t see Anderson playing as a guard and if he does IU is in trouble. I still think they get another 2019 guard and even if they don’t they get at least 2 in the 2020 cycle Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Class of '66 Old Fart, Str8Hoosiers, barrettballer and 2 others 5 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I think my preference would be a guard that has to sit a year. Heck if we could get Morton or Leal to reclass and redshirt I’d even take that. Quote
Str8Hoosiers Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 So Brass - Do you think we need more than 4 contributing guards? Or do you think (like USPS) that Anderson is not going to be a contributing guard? I can understand that a little bit more although I am hopeful he can figure it out. I was going back through prior rosters and the only 1 season I could see when we had more than 4 was Cody's freshmen year, we had at least 5 or 6 but I am not sure how much each contributed... only 3 scored more than 5 ppg although 5 played at least 8 minutes a game Quote

We need another ball handler. Preferably not a freshmen in 2020. I think Archie does too hence the blitz on guards lately. HoosierAloha and Str8Hoosiers 1 1 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Roy wants all 3. Going to sell Harris that Anthony is one and done and keeling will be gone after 1 year. They are hoping the excitement of the Anthony commitment gets Harris to commit on the visit. If Harris makes it out of that visit without committing I feel IU will have a really good shot at landing him Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appRoy goes 3/3.

HoosierAloha Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 It’s crazy how some programs basically get who they want and mostly only lose recruits to other programs who basically get who they want.
