I think we have a major need for an All B12 guy. Just grab him and play JHS at the 3. NVFalcons1990, bird4par, MikeRoberts and 1 other 2 2 Quote
mjeze106 Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 True... but man, he's the shooter we are missing. NVFalcons1990 and bird4par 1 1 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 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.

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 ziggyiu, IUc2016, CSP and 1 other 4 Quote

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 MikeRoberts and CSP 1 1 Quote

Bowhunter Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 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. HoosierHoopster 1 Quote

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. thebigweave, IUc2016, NVFalcons1990 and 1 other 4 Quote

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% ebridges24 1 Quote

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