IU Scott Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 This might be nit picking but the guy who runs the scroll needs to learn how to do standings. They have PU 2-2 and IU 3-2 and PSU 2-3 all tied for 6th Quote

Uspshoosier Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Wisky up 3 with 4 min to go crawl just buries a 3 to give them the lead. Quote

Uspshoosier Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Wisky hangs on by 1 after leading by 21 in the first half. Wisky 8-1 in games decided by 6 or fewer. Winning cultures find ways to win games Class of '66 Old Fart and HoosierAloha 2 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 You know there must be a big football game on tonight when Oregon/Oregon St is the best game of the night Wofford/UNC Greensboro is the game of the night for me lillurk and HoosierAloha 2 Quote
craigyv88 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Does anyone know if Blake Wesley is widely regarded as a potential one-and-done late first rounder, or is Bleacher Report going out on a bit of a limb here? I knew he was exceeding expectations as a freshman but I didn't know he was getting this type of consideration. Quote

He has the athleticism to be appealing, so I can see why someone might take a flyer with him. Apparently, he is credited with Notre Dame's uptick in success with his playing time as well. craigyv88 1 Quote

I knew he was exceeding expectations as a freshman but I didn't know he was getting this type of consideration. 16. Memphis Grizzlies (via LAL) Blake Wesley | 6-5 guard | 19 years old | Notre Dame Another big-time riser. Blake Wesley wasn’t seen a ton in high school despite being a top-70 recruit who decided to stay home in South Bend and attend Notre Dame. Having said that, he’s one of those guys who could either end up in the back half of the lottery or end up going back to school as scouts try to get a handle on him. The thing that has stood out most to evaluators is Wesley’s comfort in half-court settings getting buckets and creating offense for himself. He is arguably the freshman in this guard class most capable of creating his own look out of ball screens and isolation. The big question, though, is the jumper. Wesley has fine numbers going back to high school, but his shot comes out a bit flat. He needs to keep working through that, but his feel for getting a shot off the bounce has already started to really give him value to NBA teams.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Why didn't someone think of this sooner? Makes sense to me. The Atlantic 10 is petitioning the NCAA to allow players that are redshirting this season limited participation without jeopardizing a full year of eligibility to help combat COVID roster shortages.

Wow, it must be at least somewhat unanimous then. Which is pretty nuts as if I remember correctly by the end of his recruitment just about everyone but ND had backed off. Quote

Talent was always there but the stuff you pointed out along with what he said basically had the old staff pass on him. Looks like they should of probably kept pursuing Quote

Wasn’t a talent question. At least when I watched him, he had 3 obvious areas of concern: 1) He was almost comically averse to playing through contact, to the point that he would make easy finishes into tough ones. , 2) He was selfish. 3) If he wasn’t scoring, he wasn’t defending. To his credit, he seems to be taking to Brey’s coaching and has made great strides. WayneFleekHoosier and go iu bb 2 Quote

Often times without any offense being ran. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
