There will probably be 25 min a game for a reliable scorer off the bench. Kind of what we envisioned Bates doing last year. Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Jalen Rucker (Army) enters the portal. 5'10" point guard, averaged 16.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. Shot 46/30/83 last year and 42/32/80 over three seniors, all starting. First team All-Patriot League this year. MemphisHoosier 1 Quote

He is in Oklahoma City today visiting the Thunder. Thunder own the 12, 37, and 50th picks. Obviously Edey isn't going with the 12th pick and he's probably a better value pick at 50 than 37. Mark Cuban should say yeah we will offer you that…just to help IU! 8bucks, Home Jersey and Josh 3 Quote
Alford Bailey Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Love what Woody has been able to accomplish this off season. That said, it’s one season at a time in the current era of cbb. You can go from hero to zero quickly! WayneFleekHoosier and lillurk 2 Quote

He doesn't fill a need. He absolutely fills a need for us. He’s a ball handling two guard that facilitates and passes well, and is a perimeter shooter. This may be our guy. ebridges24, lillurk, ALASKA HOOSIER and 1 other 4 Quote

He's a guard? 247 and sports reference have him listed as a forward which is why I was confused. Quote

He could be a legit 6’8” PG if you wanted to use him that way. He’s got such great vision. He’s super creative in pick and roll. Exceptional instincts playing the passing lanes. 2 issues: 1) His shot is a little funky and he’s steaky from 3. Can make 5 straight then miss 10. 2) He’s built like a stick figure and adding 20-30 lbs doesn’t look at all likely. Saves typing on Sharavjamts. I’d take him without a thought.

Stuhoo Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 He needs to gain 20 pounds, but he has great handles and great court vision. He’s exactly what we don’t have with our current 12 players. Hoosierfanyuh and lillurk 2 Quote

Not sure he’d start, but could definitely find a way to earn minutes. So talented and a fun player to watch. Just needs to improve his shooting.

Also think he can be exploited if he's being asked to defend the against any kind of speed at the guard position. Think he's a 3 at this point in his development, not a point. Not sure where his minutes come. Quote

RaceToTheTop Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Illinois keeps getting bad news on their recruitment of Ray J. Dennis. First it looked like he was set to sign at Utah, now could be Baylor. https://twitter.com/trillydonovan/status/1664017437480693763?s=20 go iu bb, lillurk and HoosierDYT 1 2 Quote

He is very streaky shooter, and does love to shoot and son said all he is interested in is professional ball and how to get there-why he went in draft. I would be more worried about team chemistry. I would take Galloway everyday. Now if he is a backup that may work.Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk Quote
