4 star out of high school.  Rated #107 by 247.  Played two years at Wisky, did not fair well.  Seems to be a rarity that someone at Wisky underachieves.

Very very unlikely.

We don’t have a need for him as long as X stays. X, Tamar, JHS, Trey will be our 1’s and 2’s.

I think we have a major need for an All B12 guy. Just grab him and play JHS at the 3. 

[mjeze106 191]

True... but man, he's the shooter we are missing.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,364]

IMO there's simply no room at the inn despite his 3-point shooting.  Really need to hear something from TJD, Race & JG to know just how many slots we have available.  

Dustin Dopirak on Nigel Pack -

On one hand, Indiana already has two point guards for 2022 that it will have to find minutes for. It loses one, but gains another in 2023 and Pack would shake up that succession plan. On the other, Pack hit 95 3s last year. IU's 3 top returning shooters (X, Kopp & Bates) hit 92 combined.

uh... we have a need for him even if those guys stay.

but yes it is unlikely it will happen if those guys stay.

I fear PUke will be a player in this one, unfortunately.  If Hunter doesn't come back then the only PG they will have going into next year would be a true freshman Braden Smith.

If woody wants him he will find room.   Pack to me is an undersized 2 which paired with JHS would be ideal.   If woody wants him he needs to make sure to remind him that other staffs passed on him the first time around and he wasn’t here to offer.     This will be a battle to land Pack.   Not just against Purdue but everyone.   He is a first team All Big 12 player as a sophomore.   Very long line

I don't view Pack as a PG, pesonally. That is why I feel he would be perfect to start with XJ.

Would you argue that it would pair well with XJ, as well? I think so. 

I think we could start XJ and Pack and be darn confident.

exactly. It is woody's job to put together the best roster possible not be content just because we already have guards. If guys want to win, they should want the best players around them. If they are afraid of losing playing time, get better.... or leave. no hard feelings

I think so but I don’t see JHS coming off the bench.  Not sure how that would play out because I don’t see X coming off the bench either 

[Bowhunter 2,701]

Problem is Hood-Shif isn’t coming here to play the 3 or come off the bench. Xavier is our starting point guard. I don’t see it working out for Pack.

JHS is not a wing, he's a pg/combo-guard, we're not realistically in the Pack hunt. JHS/X backcourt.

Play him at the 3 and get up and down the court.

He can guard the 3 and still handle the ball. 

[IU Scott 2,375]

Get Pack and play like Villanova with 3 or 4 guards on the court.

I'd like to see that as well and there would certainly be ways to work in a kid that shoots like that.  The guard situation in general seems to be a lot more open at Purdue next year though, and with Morton and Newman being their only returning scholarship guards I'm afraid the fit would be more apparent.  But as USPS said the competition on this one will expand way beyond just the Toiletmakers, who didn't offer him the first time around.
