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?

I'm not sure what stats I'm allowed to mention... but MK shot 39.8% from 3 in conference as a SO on almost 6 attempts per game.
