Yogi averaged 7.6 points, 4.1 assists, 2.1 turnovers. I highly doubt he will have that kind of season.

I'd be pretty surpised if he didnt. Plus.. shoot a better percentage from the field and from 3.

 I guess both parties are right . We do need another experienced point guard if we want to be a good tournament team. What if X gets injured again? I love Trey but he would get exposed quickly by an athletic scrappy point guard. You should have a  good back up and it wouldn't be fair to Cupps to take that much work load.  Yet at the same time Cupps does need 10-15 minutes a game to develop properly. 

Its very unrealistic to think we can just add a serviceable vet PG and give him no mins until/if XJ gets hurt. 

We just don't have the mins. XJ is playing 36mpg+ when it matters.

There are an unlimited amount of minutes at PG.

we had 80 a game available early on and that shrunk to 40 because we were limited. We need more speed, more ball handling, more players that can create and despite opinion - XJ is not guaranteed to be back at all and if he is, he is not gauaranteed to be his old self after a season ending injury. That, coupled with Cupps having never played a minute at the P5 college level suggests we need another solid Pg.

 

galloway is a 3, playing him at the 1should be a worst case scenario

We started the season playing both Johnson and Schifino together, so yeah there was 80 minutes before Johnson got hurt.

If the staff wants 2 on the court we need another ball handler.

Any chance a school throws some money at Edey to get him to transfer? 

 

I’ve heard—from a pretty knowledgeable person—that Edey isn’t completely sold on the pros and Purdue is trying, and struggling, to come up with an additional $500k to throw at him.

You're right, there are no guarantees of health and playing level. However, XJ was out with a broken foot. We're not talking a blown knee or a torn Achilles or anything like that. It was a broken foot. By the time next season rolls around, he'll have had close to a year to recover. In fact, he was close to being back at the end of this season. If he doesn't play well next season, I don't think it'll have anything to do with his injury this year since there is no reason to think he wouldn't get back to 100% after a broken bone.

Additionally, Yogi was playing on a stacked team his freshman year, which makes a freshman’s job a lot easier. Having two top 5 picks + Hulls and Watford helped a lot. Cupps will have… well, who knows. If we’re relying heavily on Cupps we’re probably not going to be in good shape.

Yogi only had 3.0 turnovers per 40 minutes!

Clearly more careful with the ball than a guy like Galloway, who averaged 1.1 turnovers per 40 last yea... ahhhh,... f' it.

I'd definitely trust a freshman Yogi with the ball well before an any year Gallo.

Played with offensive weapons and still got about 8 points a game and lead the team in assists. Pretty good for a freshman... He was also a 5 star so that was expected.

I trust CMW will do his best to get his team ready for next season. I'm also looking forward to see what kind of team he has in mind. Enjoy the ride folks, I suspect it's going to be a tough team with grit that creates shots off their defensive play.

Pretty CLEARLY the staff thinks he is. Goodness. 

Why is that? IU brought in four players in 2022. One--a five star--was ready to start, one--a top 50 player--was ready to come off the bench, and the other two ready for cleanup at the end of a game. That's recruiting and you don't really know who is going to be ready until you see them playing against other college players. Five star players are usually ready, but not always. Cupps is ranked below 100 by some evaluators and above 100 by others. Typically players ranked in that range are not ready to start, but obviously some are while others start out of necessity. We won't know about Cupps until after he arrives at IU.

You are right... WE don't.

Who is this yogi fella everyone is speaking about? Is he in the portal?

If Cupps is playing 10-15 minutes, then we are probably NIT bound. We need something more reliable than a lowly rated freshman and Gallo as a secondary ball handler.

I could understand this comment better and somewhat agree if it weren't coming from the president of the Fletcher F'ing Loyer fan club.

Justice Williams of LSU into the portal.  HS ball at Montverde Academy and had an Archie offer.  Not advocating for just posting because he had the IU offer.

A shooting guard who can't shoot and had a Miller offer. Yep, checks out.
