They should have just had him doing hand drills constantly. Just catching. That was such a huge problem for him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Class of '66 Old Fart 1 Quote
TheWatShot Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 We thought Hanner would be a freak of nature after watching his highlight videos. It didn't take long to realize all he could do was dunk. Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 I always felt Hanner just didn't have the reaction time needed to play at a high level and that was part of his problem in handling the ball. It just wasn't automatic for him. He had to think about what he was going to do next for a fraction of a second. MikeRoberts 1 Quote
Crimson and Cream Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 I remember the Indiana Senior/Junior All-Star's coming to Memorial Gym in Kokomo back then and Cody was on the senior team and Yogi/Hanner/Patterson were all on the Junior team. My dad and I both came away with similar feelings, that Hanner was an insane athlete but had little to no basketball skills. Pre-game warmups he had the crowd ooing and ahhing with all kinds of highlight dunks, and then come game time I'm not sure he even scored. Cody dominated of course. We held out hope that he could be coached up and still turn into something special, but I think he was simply too much of a project even for 4 years of college.

Demo Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Rick Calloway. I remember thinking he could be another Mike Woodson, but that he just didn’t want it badly enough. In retrospect I probably overrated his talent a touch. But he had the tools for a long NBA career. Quote

If you heard him interviewed, once his knee was messed up Knight was brutal to him, and drove him out of Bloomington. ebridges24 and mamasa 2 Quote

If you heard him interviewed, once his knee was messed up Knight was brutal to him, and drove him out of Bloomington. Yeah, I remember the knee, and the Knight stuff was out there in real time as well as afterward. But for me, Calloway’s a really good case study of my expectations from the outside verses the reality of the player. That kid had a good, good college career. But I looked at him and thought he should’ve been an absolute star. So him going out and being good wasn’t enough for me. So he just frustrated the hell out of me. To a lesser degree, I have a similar reaction to Justin Smith. Despite the athletic package, he has limitations in both skill and mental processing that limits his ceiling and forces Archie to scheme around him some on offense. But he’s a really useful player in the right situations and he reps the school really well. So I try really hard not to bust the kid up. He doesn’t deserve it. Neither did Calloway.

Calloway has reinjured his knee and we were down late in the game. Calloway came back in hobbling on that knee. I can’t remember much other than him getting a rebound basket I think with seconds to go. During the post game either he or RMK said we ran the freak offense to beat them. LSU was known that year for running a freak defense. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierAloha and GloryDays 2 Quote
