I'd rather lose in the National Title game than come in last in Big Ten. I'd rather make an Elite 8 as opposed to finishing 10th in the Big Ten and making the NIT. Those programs from that list have been wildly successful over that time frame and I think any IU fan would trade our results with those programs in a heartbeat.

slojoe Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 We've talked mostly about what our offense will be like next year, but not much about our defense. Next season's team looks to be a really good defense with lots of length. Defense was our main problem last season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the insights from Mac and Gabe. Mac said he has been challenged by Banks, Sparks is massive and he thinks we'll be a good 3 point shooting team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good thing! Expectations should be high! Major props to our staff for putting this roster together on what I think a lot of us considered a gap year losing TJD and JHS. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XJ, and to a lesser extent, Trey are both pretty good at sliding their feet and staying in front of their guy... This article says Kel'el "isn’t a liability when switched onto a guard on the perimeter." which indicates he might not be bad either... I thought Trayce was pretty good on the switch and Race was acceptable... If Ware can come close to either I'd be happy... The other 2 presumed starters, Mgbako and Reneau, we'll just have to see... Miller Kopp made lateral quickness a priority last year, and I think that paid off pretty well, so it is something the staff, notably Clif, works on... Off the bench, I thought Gunn did an acceptable job staying in front of his guy for the most part... Just too "handsy" gambled too much, and occasionally got lost on D... I thought D (and a nose for the ball) was what got Banks into the lower end of the rotation last year... Newton definitely has the tools to be a lockdown guy, and Cupps competes on that end... So I think we're ok... quick guards killed us on a couple of occasions last year... Hopefully XJ being back will help mitigate that... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I thought Ware "a rim protector" and probably the best at that IU has had for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially so the break down in the Miami game but also Penn St and others. Teams would target running a picks and handoffs out front to try to get Kopp or JHS switched off on them and then take them 1-1. We had Trayce to clean up the backend which was a lifesaver but we still gave up too many straight line drives and opened us for the kick out 3. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the range of possibilities is so wide. I could see him being our most important/best player given some flashes how showed last year. Think a Draymond/Julius Randle hybrid. Or, I could see many of his issues (fouling, poor defense early on, black hole on the block) resurfacing, and IU going small with Mgbako at the 4 and Reneau still getting 15-20 mpg off the bench. Wide range of scenarios. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Calbert meeting with the media this morning. I'm sure there will be an article later but few brief points. He said he and Coach Woodson have been talking about this the past 2 seasons. Asked why he decided to come back and he said it's simple...Woody. Also watched the team practice yesterday and said he saw some 2013 flashes there. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Probably should be in the recruiting thread, but Adam Howard had some interesting tweets regarding FL and DMV area. It’s probably nothing Edited July 10, 2023 by Hoosierfan1901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 It's fun to guess, so I'll give it a try. The first tweet, DMV, I'll bet he's hinting at a visit from Patrick Ngongba, from Fairax. Indiana has been talking for a while with him to get something set up. For a Florida visit, I'll guess Marcus Allen. Obviously we're in on a bunch of Montverde kids, but Marcus is from Miami originally, like Malik Reneau. Marcus is also AAU teammates of Liam McNeeley. Of course, I'd love if Adam were hinting at some commitments, like from Jaeden Mustaf, originally of powerhouse Dematha HS, like our own Victor Oladipo. Just doesn't seem likely that we've got two imminent, giving the guys we're in on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
