I feel like I'm picking with sexual disease I want to be infected with.

What was up with CAM and McKinley Wright in year one. Wright ended up at Colorado. He would have been a difference maker. Was CAM told hands off?

CAM told Wright that he wanted him to stick with his commitment to Dayton.  He did tell him that if he wanted to come to IU that a scholarship would be available, but I don't think he actively recruited him after that.  C;est la vie.

Should IU even be considering recruiting Joey Brunk when what we need most is shooters?

 

Yes.  Our only true post is De'ron Davis and he's never going to be a 30 minute guy.

Read my mind.   Even worse that the one who took his spot didn’t  score a point in 2019 and looked lost the few times he played.

Kid doesn’t a staff to push him to get better. He would of been good regardless of where he went. He is a winner. That was noticeable his sophomore year

Yep. Some people just think Archie has no idea at all how to develop players. Guess they didn’t watch al Durham this year, Or how much better juwan got.

2 players out of 14. I’m no math expert but seems like a bad percentage. 

Damezi looked just as good if not better in high school. The fact one looks lost now probably a result of the different environments.

After a year with the MSU staff. No guarantee that would have happened here 

Yes, because nobody at IU has gotten better under Archie... As has been discussed many times, Henry is a good player with a bright future, but we need shooters, so prioritizing one made sense. In hindsight it doesn’t look great, but the logic was fine. Henry’s progression this year has been impressive, but he’s also been able to play a pretty specific role around a lot of very good upperclassmen. That’s a great environment to learn, and he’s taken full advantage. But that’s a much different environment than our young guys have had.

If Henry had come to Indiana, Archie would have been criticized for taking another slasher who can’t spread the floor. I know he’s hit some 3s tonight, but he’s made 12 all year.

Race, Jerome, Zach, and Deron were either injured or rehabbing all year, so they don’t count. Jake was never expected to play. Getting strong takes time. Rob, Al, And Juwan performed admirably. DG improved throughout the year. Damezi and Smith were disappointing, but that’s about it. I didn’t watch Damezi in high school, but I believe most in here didn’t think he would play or contribute much as a freshman. He definitely didn’t look great, but hopefully he can pick it up on defense

You guys have watched Henry play this year when he has struggled right? I mean he hasn’t been killing it on the court the whole year if you have had the chance to watch his games. He has played in over 30+ games. Clearly he has had a better opportunity to contribute to his team more then others have. He had a stretch where he was awful and got benched. He has also had games where you could see the bulb go off and you can see the potential. I’ve made no secret about my admiration for his game and how much I wanted him to come to IU out of all the 2018 kids. It didn’t happen and I moved on. I still love watching him play every game I just wished it was for the Hoosiers

He has clearly been coached and developed nicely. Peaking at the perfect time for izzo. He will tear up the big ten probably as he gets older.

A player looked better playing 4A high school basketball than in D1 and the best basketball conference!?
