HOOSIER CHAMPS Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 We still need to fill the 13th scholarship with a "SPECIALIST" (i.e. 3 pt shooter even if they can't play great defense but can spread the floor in situations where we need a 3 pt shot; OR someone who can handle the ball and shoots above 80% free throws to put in the last minutes of games where we have the lead and the other team has to foul; OR someone who can protect the rim/block a shot/get a key rebound at the end of the game). We made a HUGE mistake not filling the 13th scholarship last year - PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN THIS YEAR WOODY - GO HOOSIERS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well...I listened just because I'm hard up for info on this team 🙂 This guy and Coyle try too hard to sound like "radio guy" that comes to the pros like Don Fischer naturally...

It's too hard for me to watch with the over-the-top 'radio guy' annunciation. The Locked On guy before sounded like he was falling asleep, so I was intrigued when he took over, but this one needs to ease up on the caffeine. LOL. I also don't think he has many connections - he's from and broadcasts from Alabama or Georgia or something, with no history as an IU fan. Probably just getting info from message boards or the Trilly discord like many of the other message board 'insiders'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke thinks this a championship team @The Daily Hoosier follows up with a "Cliffs Notes" version... I thought this was interesting... “I think we have a real chance to put it all together. Coach Woodson, I know he gets a lot of hate, but I think he’s one of the better coaches I’ve been coached by already. So he knows what he’s doing, he really respects relationships and everybody loves to play for him" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality of shot trumps everything offensively--- clearly we get better shots from 3 with Malik on the court... and Malik himself is an efficient offensive player scoring the ball (some TO and ball movement issues)-- eFG% 57%+ which was 4th in the B1G and on par with TJDs JR/SR year 1st percentile in 3pt fg% seems to be pretty loud 🤷♂️ We couldn't produce quality looks from 3 with him off the court. Speaks to his ability to distribute and drawl defenders (gravity)... And speaks to our lack of depth. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mgbako shooting improved As talented as Carlyle can be and as imposing as Ballo is, it’s Rice who excites me the most out of the new players. He will control the ball and set the tempo. He seems to be very savvy and will fix our biggest weakness. He knows how to change speeds, get the defender on his hip, etc. He looks to be smart, competitive and apparently can lead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been an Indiana fan for about 20 years now, and I'm almost certain Rice is the second best point guard we've had, and pretty convinced he's the second best guard overall. He's going to make this team so much different than last year's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has yet to play a game and he is better than all but one of names like Ferrell, Gordon, Hulls, Johnson, Coverdale, Blackmon, Wright? That's mighty high expectations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 12 seasons in the NBA he needs to just get the hell back to the states before something really bad happems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I can put Rice over Gordon. I don't see anyone else even belonging in the conversation, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching him in the tourney I believe and being very impressed before IU had showed any interest at that point. Our guards should be very fun to watch. Hopefully they get used properly and we don’t play to big and throw it in the post 80 percent of the time. Would love to go small a lot more with Mack and Goode at the 4. We would be incredibly hard to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
