Shaping up like everyone in here going to have to eat crow about Woodson

I don’t know if you’ve seen the commercials, but hims.com has products that can help with this.

Good lord, a couple visits get announced (several of which, we are 1 of 5 set up) and you’re already penciling Woody in to the Hall of Fame.

So what’s the big deal with this Rice kid? He’s shooting 28% from 3, (okay that’s Mike Woodson style I’ll give you that), he averages 3 turnovers a game, but puts up 15PPG in the worst power conference. 
 

He’s listed at 6’3”, that’s ideal. Can he defend? I’m too lazy to pull up Synergy. Indiana needs bodies I guess. 

I dug deeper into his 3 pt shooting….

Last 9 games including postseason he finished

2-28 from 3… 

now I’m not trying to say I don’t want him but that is Galloway end of the season 3 pointer stats.

Ya, Malik, Trey, Leal and Adam Howard were following Rice via Instagram prior to the crystal ball. Now Mgbako is following Rice too.

Trilly has put his prediction in for Rice to IU.

The guy on the his discord earlier said that Rice was a Hoosier, also said that IU is pulling all the stops to make Ballo not take any visits after ours.
Also said that the person Rice has been communicating with is Conwell.

I saw where he started the year fine but people wondered if he just did not have the energy down the stretch due to sitting out last year battling cancer.  Who knows.  I will take him and he will be a huge upgrade over both Cupps and X (and I like Cupps as a reserve).

Yeah that's not good.

But free throw % indicates that he could get to low-mid 30's on high volume.

That is what I wondered too. If the duration of the season caught to him. I mean it has to be super taxing on a player under normal circumstances. But to have to throw in recovering from cancer it very much could have impacted his shooting.

This sparked my interest. He basically went 7 straight games without a 3 pt make, 0-22, from mid-February through the PAC 12 tournament.
 

In the other 28 games he shot a modest 33% which is respectable for a first year player. He had 10 games in which he hit multiple 3p’s and had single games where he went; 6-8, 4-7, and 5-10 respectively.

For comparison, only Mgbako had more multi-made 3P games than Rice (16).

His stroke looks fine and not someone I would consider a 3pt liability down the road.

I mean it very much could be fatigue.

When cleeter post I usually believe it. Just kidding but I’ve heard the same thing about Rice & Conwell. Haven’t heard anything about Ballo though.

Very well could have been. I just don’t think raw % always tells the story. MM was absolutely dreadful shooting the first 3-4 weeks of the season, like sub 20%. He finished at 32% which again is respectable for a freshman. But he shot 38% for the B10 season on volume (5 attempts/game) which is elite for a freshman, yet somebody somewhere will see 32% and conclude MM isn’t a good 3 point shooter.

Haha, I just try to beat this Chris dude to the punch. But that same guy is feeling Ballo has the best chance to be the next Hoosier.

Eat crow about his ability to get portal players or eat crow about his ability to be successful here?

Rice, Conwell, and Ballo would be 3 tremendous adds.

I look at it like he was okay from three until the very end of the season..  I look at the basket as half made, you look at it as half missed.

Saturday high of 71 in BTwon, 78 on Sunday, 

Hopefully some coeds dress accordingly as we have visitors.
