Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 The record has gotten better every year Archie has been here. Everyone comes back next year, no reason to think that won't change. ESPECIALLY with a sophomore TJD. But who will get better? Will anything that’s hurt us this season, change next season? As in having shooters or a different offense?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

rcbowla Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Very few will bring back the production we do. Very few had 3 players in their top 7 that missed as much time as those 3 have. Hopefully they won't moving forward. Outside of injuries I really don't see anyway that we aren't a top 25 team. Might have the best player in the B1G too. This production you speak of.......it's not so great. TJD and what after?Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk WayneFleekHoosier and GaryP 2 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Race and Jerome have shown improvements within this season, no reason to think they won't get better in the summer without injuries. TJD is dominant at times as a freshman, you can't possible think he won't improve next year as a sophomore with his potential? I think it is more than reasonable to think a team that returns all but one inconsistent guard and a backup post player will get better. HAVEN'T even had to mention the Lander possibility yet. Quote

Let’s say Archie magically becomes a developer of talent, does he change what offense he runs next season or is it the same?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app No.. they aren't. To say this team is 100% is kind of silly honestly. No off season for some of them, no pre season for some of them... multiple, multiple in season injuries. "Healthy" no. hoosierfan6157 1 Quote

I asked about production returning which would suggest we have good individual production returning. At least you got the juvenile "lol" in there though. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Quote

Almost all teams have injuries they deal with throughout the season. Quote

Never heard that Creans last season to help him as OG was out. This team is fully healthy and ready to go. They just aren’t as good as you think they are and the dude making $3mil holds them back quite a bit. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Absolutely a top 25 team. Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I said that multiple times about Creans last season. I wasnt overly down on Crean, it was just time to move on. The main reason I wanted to move on from Crean was because he had alienated himself from the state of IN HS coaches, not his on the court results. Quote
rcbowla Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Lol my god. TJD 14p 8r JS 11p 5r Durham 10p Plus Hunter, Thompson, and Phin who will all be healthy, finally. Brunk very solid role player. Absolutely a top 25 team. So you're telling me that Smith and Durham are reason to be optimistic for next year? A) that tells me you don't watch much if you're trying to sell that B) they may not even be here next year. I'm not going to argue this with you. If you want to believe in them then by all means go ahead. I for one do not hold out much hope that those 2 suddenly become major contributors on a top 25 team.

Brunk very solid role player. Absolutely a top 25 team. Smith is likely leaving. Al has more than proven to not be very good and will likely be our 4th best guard next season and probably still start unless he transfers. Phinisee hasn’t gotten better. He is who he is. He has peaked just like Al peaked his sophomore year. A roster like this takes a coach who can develop players and actually coach. We just don’t have that.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I agree. I like Durham, and he has improved probably more than any other player during this period at IU, but he is coming off the bench on most B1G teams. THe jury is still out on Phinisee though. He's a sophomore. Not sure we can conclude he has reached his peak. Quote

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 You literally couldn't be more wrong about Phin. Absurd. He’s not proven a bit to be anymore than a role player. He’s not a scorer. He’s not a playmaker. He is a better ball handler than anyone on the team, but that isn’t saying much. He’s a backup. He’s basically Josh Newkirk.
