(2023) - PG Gabe Cupps to O$U via Indiana

[Billingsley]

Cupps is the real deal. For 4 years we will have a winner in every way when we discuss this young man.  He will be a fan favorite for so many of us and with the athletes he will be surrounded with man the future sure does look bright for Cupps and IU.

I’ve been watching. Damn

Playing against a bunch of D1 talent and three 5*s, and is directly matched up against top 5 UK guard recruit Dillingham. Gabe Cupps is completely outplaying Dillingham in every way.

Gabe Cupps is a fantastic, intuitive basketball player. He plays angles, always plays really hard, is always in position to help defensively, always has his eyes up, doesn’t ever try to do too much or make  a difficult play when an easy one is available, and is appreciated like crazy by his teammates.

Damn

His comp? Tyus Jones from Duke, maybe Michael Lewis, but not really a square IU comp; Lewis was way more chippy. Cupps doesn’t really play with sharp elbows.

He looked very smooth and decisive to me. I was surprised by how quickly he saw the best pass and immediately executed it. If he continues to improve over the next year, we are going to be very happy we have him.

He’s not going to put up gaudy numbers, but he’s one of those guys that’s the leader of the team that wins.

Love Reed Sheppard too.

Cupps taking his game to the cradle of New York PG’s. Love it.

Man, not many high schoolers living a better life than Gabe Cupps right now.

Great gesture on the part of Cupps and the other participating players.

Sounding like the fundraiser game described above may not take place based on this.

I guess this would be classified under "No good deed goes unpunished."

A lesson in not believing tweetered nonsense without corroboration. A very savvy (and Old) mod saw something up for five minutes, and we/he was skeptical enough to hold back the info.

Gabe Cupps is solid as a rock, and he’s playing for his dad, not a west coast prep school.

@Banksyrules why are you sad over Cupps' signing?

[Banksyrules]

We don’t have tears of joy emoji.  I was trying to express my sensitive side.
