Miller Kopp made three trips to Bloomington with Northwestern, and each time seeds were planted that led to today.

Amazing that it seems so many of the kids that stayed or are coming talk about how Woodson wants them to improve in an area where they are weak. Miller talks here about how Woody wants him to become a better rebounder and defender. He is seemingly leaving a starting role at Northwestern to come here for an undefined role because he liked what the coach is saying.

I had heard his major was in agriculture studies with a minor in law enforcement.  He was torn between running the family grain operation or continuing in law enforcement.  Kind of torn between being a miller or a cop.

For those who were plugging in possible players into a website to see how they would affect IU's roster ranking, where is it at after the Kopp commitment?

Obviously the big question with Kopp is: for a guy with a reputation as a great shooter, why did he shoot so poorly last year?

Definitely potential explanations, and his FT % evidences his raw shooting ability. But this is a nice addition if you’re getting a 40% 3-point shooter and not a particularly good one if you’re getting a 31% shooter.

He shot 37.8% until the last 3 games

There is also going to be a substantially big difference in the quality of shot he gets here, than he did at NW.

He was shooting 45% on Jan. 23 and then shot 20% over the last ten games. Don't know why we would exclude bad games just because they happened late.

Or we could exclude his hot early-season games against bad teams and say: he shot 21% in his 16 games in 2021.

Sure. That falls under "potential explanations." And I'm optimistic that it's the case and like the addition... but it's certainly not a guarantee.

Is there anything that is? Death and taxes?
