(2018) PG Robert Phinisee to Cincinnati

[Crimson and Cream 5,782]

Knew this kid was special after seeing him play for the first time last season. Even last year he was so smooth and under control the entire game. Scored with ease and yet seemed just as capable of a floor general. Almost looked more satisfied setting up his teammates and getting stops on defense. Regardless of how long he's here, he's going to be a fan favorite and we'll be able to look back and celebrate the success he had while he was a Hoosier.

I know people joke a lot about it but the size of college BB will have an impact here. On jumpers, finishing in the lane, and even passing lanes.

He's a smart kid, he can adjust. Yogi had to adjust and finally figured out things that work at his size.

All this said, RP is having an amazing year. Hoping the translation is smooth for him.

Looks good to me. Probably has a lot to do with the fact that the camera angle is quite low. This kid is grossly underrated. Clear upgrade to what we have now.

If it's true that Romeo is looking for a package deal I hope he's paying attention to the year that Robert is having.

Are Romeo and Phinisee friends? Idk, just asking

If he wants to win anchors down is not the place. Not impressed with drew as a coach.

For those interested, Phinisee's game Friday night the 5th against Lafayette Central Catholic scheduled for a 7:00 tipoff will be available online at:

Phinisee isn't Superman after all.  He committed a TO that led to a Central Catholic bucket and 1 point CC lead and then he missed 2 FT's that would have given McCutcheon the lead with 8 sec. left.  CC wins 53-52.  Phinisee finished with 22 pts. but was only 8-22 from the field.  The game write-up says he was battling the flu.

McCutcheon plays again Saturday night at home vs. Richmond.

McCutcheon bounced back with an OT win over Richmond 49-40.  Phinisee with 25 pts. and 9 reb.  McC held Richmond scoreless in the OT.

Who?
Every single solitary person who has watched the Indiana men’s basketball team play this year.
That’s who.

Make sure he can count to 10 before we throw him out there though.

I don't see who else would at this point though he may struggle some if we don't have legit scoring options for him to dish to. Yogi started as a frosh but was surrounded by talent and scorers.

Even Yogi struggled as a Freshman. Especially with his scoring. Crazy to think Yogi was the last option on that team.
