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

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

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.

So far we have only reached out to McNeil from WV, Sparks from Ball St, and Tyreke Key from ISU that we know of correct? 

Living here near Terre Haute, got to watch Tyreke Key (6'3" 205 lb.) at Indiana State.  Think he averaged 17.2 ppg, 5.3 RPG and 2.0 APG his last season (2020-2021). Career 153 out of 409 from 3pt = 37.4%.  He's a baller and can attack the basket, overall good shooter, career 80.3% from foul line and career 45.9% FG%

Couldn't agree more, stats don't lie with this kid......plus been through the battles in the Big-12

Coming off injury right?

I think offensively you can still have XJ and JHS handle the ball the majority of the time AND add Nijel Pack. He doesn't have to be the one initiating offense to be effective. 

I will say I think it's probably unlikely he doesn't come here, but I believe it could work in bunches.

Yes shoulder instability required shoulder surgery in November of 2021....so it has been about 5 months, so not sure where he is at right now?

I agree it could work. I only watched one KSU game this season and it was in the Big 12 tourney but Pack didn't handle the ball a ton. 

[JSHoosier]

This team needs an infusion of talent and shooting.  The question shouldn't be do we want a kid that was all Big 12, that should be a resounding yes, but can the staff land him.  There  aren't really any guards on our roster that shod be standing in his way.

He just wants to stand in a corner and shoot. I am A OK with that!

But we already have Miller Kopp in that spot. :-)

[Hoosierfan1901]

Looking around and guessing Pack will probably be off/leaning to PU, but idk 

[Stuhoo]

It's not about whether we would want Pack -- everybody, including IUBB, will want him.

It's about how Pack, given his unlimited choices, feels he could best fit into a team's roster. 

And that's where IU will be a tough sell for a 6'1" guard.

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

That’s my point

It might not be realistic, but we'd be DAMN good with XJ, Pack, and JHS starting. 

[ziggyiu]

Does anyone saying there's no room for Pack know if he only wants to play pg? 

For those slotting in JHS as a sure-fire starter, what makes you think a kid who has never played college ball is definitely better than a kid who was an All-Big 12 player? JHS could he amazing, but we don't know yet. Reminds me of some people of the boards who thought Bates would start, or even be a one and done. There's too much unknown. 

Talent likes to play with talent. Teams have multiple players on the floor at once who can either initiate the offense or play off the ball. There really is a lot of flexibility here. 

Whether or not IU goes after Pack or Pack is interested, time will tell. It's just premature to slot in starters or determine that these kids won't want to play together.

Never know how incoming freshman will adjust to the college game.  People had high expectations for Lander too.  You can never have too much talent and Pack would instantly one of best guards if not the best.  We need him and it's the staff's job to sale him on IU.

Watching JHS now, Lander never played with or against this kind of talent. In this game alone I have seen guys going to IU, Purdue, Duke, Texas, Arizona, Vanderbilt. Lander might have played against one division player on his schedule, not many every night out. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Does anyone know exactly how tall JHS is?

If Kopp could just make some all would be good
