2016 (F) Freddie McSwain Jr. to IU

[Hoosiers219]

Luckily, we're not in need of a scorer. If he can provide a spark off the bench, do some dirty work rebounding in the post, and use his athleticism to annoy the crap out of opposing offenses, that's a win.

So nice, he had to post it twice. I concur in re: both posts. [emoji6]

Just watched the Neosho vs Hutchinson region 6 championship. I'm not very impressed. Jump shot is broke, needs a lot of work! Only thing I was impressed with is his athleticism and offensive rebounding. Long way to go here folks.

So basically you are telling us something we all already know. The scouting report was that he was very athletic, a great rebounder, and needed work on his jumpshot....

So........TW 2.0?

Guessing better defender. Not nearly as good of a "scorer".

Equivalent rebounder, lower volume (but more efficient) scorer and better defender? I'd take that trade in a heart-beat.

We need a wing scorer if we're looking at being a top 10 team. I think we'll see more elbow jumpers and those turnaround fadeaway jumpers by Hartman more this coming season than in the past. OG and/or JMor upping their production while remaining efficient will help.

If McSwain can be a lockdown defender or close we could really have a strong stable of post and wing defenders next season.

Glass, CTC along with Morgan, Bryant and Newkirk are at Huber Winery tonight addressing some of the IU faithful.  This from Thomas Bryant:  "If you think OG can jump, wait til you see this guy."

Hopefully he jumps in the right direction of the basket unlike TW a lot of times.

Some pretty good tie ins to Back to the Future could be used with Freddie McFly. Therefor, I'm on board with that one. Someone needs to photoshop him into the vest jacket and Levi's.

And CTC as Doc Brown.           Bryan Medema, paging Bryan Medema!  Your talents are requested.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when you have a name as cool as Freddie McSwain Jr., you don't need a nickname. That is one of the greatest names ever. It oozes awesome. With a name like that I am convinced he is set for life professionally and romantically.

I have a class with Freddie and saw him up close and personal. Dude is huge and looks like a freak athlete. Didn't stand next to him put the listed weight of 220 seems low to me

The last time I saw Marni single out a new freshman for public appreciation, it was for OG. 

When Marni Mooney likes you, You are good people:
