Neither of those teams were complete or they wouldn’t have been absolutely embarrassed in the sweet sixteen both times. 

 

Our guardplay which was already our weakness is much weaker going into next year.  And college basketball is dominated by guards 

Didn't realize the roster is set for next year

White is really high ceiling player.  50th ranked incoming recruit by 247 last season.  All freshman Pac 12 last year.  Averaged 9 and 5. 6'7"  SF/SG.  More of a slasher than shooter but 247 considered him to be a 'keep you honest' three point shooter out of high school.

Both our backcourt and our frontcourt are worse right now than they were last season. I doubt we are after anymore frontcourt players, so we will really need better perimeter players to make up for it..

The front court still should be good and not far off from last year. Of course nobody will replace TJD production and why we need to upgrade positions 2-4. We also can win next year but it might need to be in another way

 TJD better than Ware 

Reneau better than Race

JHS pretty even with XJ 

If Banks improves he should bring more than Kopp did. 

I think Sparks coming off the bench will be better than Duncomb so that is a win

My god Woodson has been here two years. What did you expect the team to look like this year.

If you had bothered to read my entire comment on this point you would have seen that I wrote "it remains to be seen what Woodson will accomplish."

That’s just it.  Woodson had a choice when he arrived — blow it up or patch it together.  He chose and most were good with patching it together.  We know this year will likely be a down year.  But that’s part of the process.  It’s about building long term success which we haven’t had in a long while.

Overall probably accurate except Banks better than Kopp. Obviously, they are different players but Banks is more like Jordan Geronimo than Miller Kopp.  Banks brings rebounding and put backs that Kopp didn't provide. But he won't match Kopp's shooting ability. Maybe that adds up to a net plus but Banks at the 3 leaves IU without a reliable 3-point shooter that stretches the floor.

I assume a lot of these transfer had no prior connection to the school they transferred to. I know Arkansas has brought in 4 players who are guards so it will effect Davis on playing time. He is testing the NBA but I doubt he will stay in the draft.  Also has any of our assistants recruited him before

He's not in the portal though. So there has to be some sort of connection, I guess Ware , though they are not the same class etc.

What exactly was he going to “blow up”? And how would that have helped us?

He didnt.

He was a ball handler. Zeisloft wasn't. Hell Z even guarded the taller players on the other end. If you are actually trying to distinguish a position difference between Z+Rob when they're on the court together (which is dumb) it's pretty clear Rob was the 2 and Z the 3. 

JBJ was the 3 when it was--- RJ, Yogi, and Blackmon.

Johnson literally started at the 2... I mentioned who the 3s were on that team. 

"RJ was a ball handlers" literally means nothing. Troy Williams was a primary ball handler and he was the 4. RJ normally just guarded whoever the better player was on the other team, whether it was their 2 or 3. And saying Zeisloft was the 3 doesn't break what was said. He was 6-4. He was a guard. And RJ did play that 3 spot. JBJ was the 2. Everyone knows that. And it wasn't the only time. RJ was the 3 man his Senior year too for some time. Really depended. We had quite a few guys get starts that season. Opening day though Archie trotted out Newkirk, Green and RJ. Playing the 3 like he did his freshman and Sophomore and Junior year. The "3" was his spot. Who he played defense on didn't define his position because it was always the better player to keep JBJ off that guy.

I think this is also a crunchy little sarcasm nugget.

Might be wrong, but I think so.

Well you basically tell everyone to take a hike except for TJD. Still bring in Xavier Johnson. Go grab a bunch of athletic shooters out of the portal.

Sounds pretty easy. Not sure why all coaches don’t just do that.   
 

No longer will we be shackled by the constraints of homegrown, 4yr talent like the backcourt of Xavier Johnson, Miller Kopp and Parker Stewart.

After Blackmon’s injury, the bulk of the games had a starting lineup of:

Ferrell, Johnson, Harttman, Williams, Bryant 

But at the beginning of the year, Hartmann wasn’t starting and Blackmon was.  So at that point Blackmon and johnson were the 2 and 3.  After Blackmon’s injury, Johnson started at the 2.  Johnson missed 5 games and didn’t start 8 others. Biefeldt started 5 of those games and zeisloft 8.  

you’re correct that we did go with three guards before Blackmon’s injury.  It was more sporadic after his injury.  The primary beneficiaries of Blackmon’s time were actually OG and Juwan.

Latrell Wrightsell to Alabama.  Backcourt getting crowded there.
