I'm almost at the point with college basketball that I don't even care about bigs. Just get us a couple that can rebound, block shots and switch defensively, otherwise every recruit should be multi-skilled, athletic guards and wings. Get a Reneau and maybe one backup and then fill the roster with guys like Cupps, JHS, XJ, Banks, Newton and a couple more like Banks that can swing between the wing and the 4. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use these as blueprints for moving forward. All I'll say is that Miami must have one heck of a basketball program! Ladies make the Elite Eight and the Men looks like they may join them! Oh Well..... Has to be easy to recruit... like LA in 60-70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go to my grave with this. The 2002 Hoosiers is the model I've always wanted. Would prefer more athletic for sure but 3-4 shooters, 2 bigs who are in and out. That's what wins in March. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, as long as we can shoot the ball. Like you kind of alluded, Trace covered that deficit and much more for us for 4 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that 2002 team and Crean's three best teams (11-13 & 16) are the closest IU has been to this model. You don't need a ton of size. Crean's teams had one main big and then surrounded by athletes and shooters. The 2002 team had bigs that were athletic with length and then surrounded by shooters. As you said, probably needed a little more backcourt athleticism, but close. Creans teams had 4s like Watford and Troy Williams. Love Race Thompson but he's not a skilled, athletic enough 4 in today's game. This is why I'd love to see Banks develop as a 4 and bring in a few more like him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just athletes that don't bring skill. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine a Princeton v San Diego State regional final is going to keep too may fans in town until Sunday. The City of Louisville can't handle two days of proper English grammar from Princeton and Creighton students compared to the genius that attend pUKe and stripper U.

Top 3 are DJ White, Zeller and then TJD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
