(2023) - PG Gabe Cupps to INDIANA

[lillurk 3,738]

My favorite part of this tweet-length scout is the adjective for shooting: “excellent.”

Really getting a bevy of good guards.  I am betting a lot of three guard lineups in the coming years.  Might be the right formula to four out one in.

81% from the line, and 35% from three on a lot of attempts is pretty encouraging for a sophomore. Especially on a team that won state.

Anyone recall what Yogi and Hulls shot in high school? Both ended up being really good volume 3 point shooters in college, curious if Cupps is in line with where they were

Don't know the exact numbers, but I believe Hulls hit a really good percent of his threes in high school but Ferrell was just so-so.  Hulls was a good perimeter from the start at IU (40% from three as a freshman, 44% over his career).  Ferrell developed into one, but didn't really shoot much as a freshman.  Made 30% of his threes (only 2 taken per game as a freshman) but jumped up to taking 7 threes per game as a sophomore and hit 40%.

I would say being Bronny’s teammate and friend pays off on IG.

But it is curious that his Twitter following isn’t nearly as popular. Gen Z stuff, methinks

That's right. Instagram is by far the most popular social media for Gen Z kids. I think before Zion even played a game at Duke he was already near 1 Mil Instagram followers. Between highlight videos on YouTube and the snippets that go viral on other platforms, it brings in a lot of young fans.

It’s good to see IU steal one from OSU. Matta did that for years. Guess what, now we have him!!!  

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,056]

Don't miss the shirt Gabe is wearing!!

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,056]

I'll admit I've never listened to his broadcast but Matt Denison will have Gabe and his father on his radio show at 11:04 this morning.  The Hoosier Report weekdays at 11 a.m. on 1450 WXVW/96.1.

Did anyone else have to look up what "Neoteny" means? Lol

Couldn’t find the 2023 recruiting thread so I will put this in here

yes this isn’t going to last but some might want to see IU as the #1 team ranked for recruiting in 2023.  Take a picture

Lol…100% was the first thing I did. And the first definition I found didn’t really clear anything up for me as to how it applies here.

I too am confused as the definition I got was to keep juvenile traits in an adult animal???

Yeah something like that but the expanded definition I found also mentioned sexual maturity in the larvae state. Kudos, kid. But be careful!

Terrible guess here, but I think he's using it as a way to say he's mature but still a kid on the inside?

Likely the opposite. Looks like a kid but is mature. That´s the only thing that makes sense to me.
