IU Basketball News and Notes

[WayneFleekHoosier]

16 days we have live IUBB! I think this team can meet and possibly exceed expectations. Also, the most stacked college basketball season I can remember. 30-40 good teams. It’s gonna be a good one.

Interesting. Don't know if I should be encouraged or discouraged by his analysis. If that's the goal of all his team reviews, well done.

I guess it makes me feel better about next year's core of Galloway/Bates/Geronimo/Reneau. But, I'm hoping it was a bad day for the vets when he visited.

I wish he would provide a little context to his statement of needing to come a long way to fulfill expectations.

Agree on that point. It does seem to confirm what we have been hearing about having quality depth. That alone would have won a few more games last season.

This is good stuff.  Based on watching the team scrimmage at HH and my otherwise full guess, he is seeing players and the team making errors on spacing, ball decisions, shot making, etc.  Individual talent jumps, playing cohesively as a team probably has a ways to go.  Do we have any Offensive system.  High pick and roll a lot.  Dribble drive, i guess.  Team will have to grow but it's nice confirming the talent looks strong as we'd expect.

Agree and last year we often had two guys in the post while on the perimeter we had X handling the ball with Stewart and Kopp standing around on the wings.
 Transitioning from 2 in the post and 2 standing around to having two perimeter ball handlers (X and JHS), and probably/possibly/hopefully only having one guy in the post with the other out, is a big, big change offensively and will take some practice and game time to implement.

FWIW,

His assessments of other practices he’s seen are similar in video length and format but not as glowing overall. Basically, his “one concern” issue with other teams is an actual concern, such as Purdue only having one playmaker (Edey).

My big takeaway here is that Tre Demps’ eyebrows are the 8th wonder of the modern world. 

[DChoosier]

His comments are yet more evidence that JHS will start.

I think Woodys comment in regards to trying him with the first and second team was partially intended to make it clear nothing is given to anyone but…he will start.

I think Woody is working out sub patterns that would include JHS as the primary facilitator with the 2nd unit. Very much an NBA mindset. Could see him start each half, be the first sub out at the U16, and then see him sub back in for X at the U12 with  the 2nd unit.

My guess is that if left alone those brows would connect with his beard.

And if X or JHS gets in early foul trouble, Gallo has been regularly handling the point for the white team in practice and would be the choice. 

Ahhhhh...the beauty of having depth.

We will see.

My money is on him starting but it wouldn’t be shocking if Bates started and JHS led the second unit and/or blended in with some of the first team guys. I still think he starts but we will find out soon enough.
