(2015) PF Juwan Morgan to IU

[Rookie33 932]

In light of the mess of the past 3 weeks, I believe this (and OG's signing) says a LOT about our staff's ability to recruit. Assuming the kids stay out of trouble (which may be a big assumption...

Excited for you JM. You and OG are going to love it here.

Congratulations Juwan! You are going to love it there in B'town!

Congratulations Juwan. Welcome to our Hoosier family. Big things are expected of you but you've got the support of Hoosier Nation. Have a great senior season and we'll see you in Bloomington after graduation.

Awesome job Juwan! I can't wait for the season to begin.

JMor won "Warrior of the Summer"

 

Love it! Felt bad because he was limited with his shoulder. Hope offseason surgery fixed that and he is 100%

He'll be one of the top breakout stars in CBB this year. Everyone talking about TB and OG. Juwan could have a better year than both IMHO.

Same, I think JMor has a lot to show as a sophomore. He had a solid freshman campaign, even though often playing through injury. His per 40 was something like 10.5 pts and 9.2 rebs. He's been mostly overlooked by Bryant and OG over the summer. If he can keep those per 40 while increasing his playing time we'll be competing with the best in the nation.

All 3 Sophs from the 2015 class could start by the end of the season imo. I'm not saying it's likely because Hartman is a terrific player according to Bill Walton and he's a senior who has started he past 2 seasons I think. But Rojo, JBJ, OG, JMo, and TB would look great out there I feel.

Assuming OG has even remotely the leap we all think/hope, and JBJ can play any semblance of defense (which he should be helped playing alongside 3 plus defenders and an above average one in Bryant) that is a really, really strong lineup right there.

That's my preferred lineup tbh. You can scheme around 1 guys poor defense look at us last year when it was just Troy. 

Offense in the half court will be a bit lacking outside of JBJ and Bryant but should get a lot of transition points. 

Rojos ball handling looked really good at the end of last year so I'm comfortable with him at point

If we're struggling in the half court with that lineup something is wrong. JMo or OG should have a huge mismatch in the post. If Bryant has continued to work on his outside shot we can somewhat invert the offense. I expect JMo and OG to go from the do it all garbage men to being relied on a little more. If RoJo can get lost among Bryant, OG, and JBJ he can get his.
