(2022) - SG C. J. Gunn to DePaul

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,825]

After a low scoring first half ended with Carmel leading 19-11, Carmel (16-1) erupted for 19 pts. in the 3rd Q and never looked back defeating Lawrence North (16-2) 63-49 while playing without its leading scorer Brian Waddell.  LN's big man D. J. Hughes fouled out just seconds into the 4th Q but it probably didn't make a difference as Carmel simply outplayed LN the whole game.  Gunn with 8 pts. on 3-7 FG; 2-4 on 3s; 1 reb; 1 asst; 1 stl; 2 TO.

Woof. Carmel is a good squad, but they aren’t the B1G. Gunn may turn out to be a good/great player but nothing jumps off the page. This is an interesting recruitment.

Is it bad that when I heard he was the recruit announcing Sunday and we're the favorite to land him, my first thought was "let me guess, no other Big Ten teams wanted him"?

Archie isn’t impressing in any modality. This includes recruiting. The Romeo impact lingers.... The sad thing is, Romeo got drafted in a good spot based on how he played. Romeo wasn’t too good at IU. But the narrative and spotlight on Archie developed that season. Missed the tournament and terrible offensive scheme. Still lingers.

Is it still thought that IU are the favorites here?

Pretty poor performance for LN against an average Connersville team.

Lol. Whoa. Glad I’m not the scout for IUBB. Maybe I should be?

2 words describe this game --  butt and ugly.  Lawrence North defeats Connersville 40-36.  I watched the game on tape delay at 1.25x normal speed so it's entirely possible I missed some things but I didn't see Gunn make a single basket going 0-4 FG; 3 reb; 2 asst.

It sounds like a couple of you watched so tell me if I'm wrong.  I've watched Lawrence North play at least 5 games and it doesn't look to me like he has any integral role in its offense.  He mostly seems to stand in one corner or the other and if he does receive a pass more times than not he gives it right back up.  I'm not qualified to judge but it's hard for me to see him as a 4-star and the 14th rated SG in the country.

Keefer’s offense plays at a very slow pace.  He has won many games playing this way but with the athletes they have all around that team you would like to see them take advantage of it.    My guess is Gunns potential is being scouted by what he did during AAU where is has way more freedom to showcase what he could do when giving the chance

He looked terrible. Besides having a good frame, and decent handles at his size he looked like any other athlete trying to play basketball. I know he has to be better than he looked in this one, but goodness, if that’s an Indiana caliber player, idk what I’m watching anymore.

Size wise LN looked like a college team playing a middle school team. Didnt see Gunn do anything.

Dying to see him. Hoping to catch the 2022 tour somewhere.

While I'm not married to ratings, I have to think those who do that see something in him to justify where he is ranked. I'm willing to wait and see what he brings before I make a judgment, not that I'm in anyway qualified to do so. Let's give the kid a chance to prove his worth.

Long, athletic, good kid, good motor, good outside stroke.

He’s likely a project and not a freshman impact player, but it appears he’s got a high ceiling.

I’m all for criticizing the program when appropriate, but this appears part of our ‘get old stay old’ strategy, which I very much endorse
