Last year Cupps was the talk of the town. Year before I can't remember. Before that it was P Stew. They're pretty good at asking 'what does the intel mean?' Like on the 'intel' about Jakai - how athletic he is - they say it's not surprising, but can he play? Or on the positive intel about Tucker's offense and that his defense will come along - they ask how much time will he see this year, if his defense isn't there yet.

I just got caught in the trap the last few seasons where everything is sunshine and rainbows during the offseason. then I get severely disappointed with individual players, because the offseason hype doesnt match on court product. Just something i am going to try this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_AK Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 But, don’t we need to know how high their verticals are? I can’t get hyped for the season without seeing the before/after pics that look like ads for gym equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 The B1G added new schools, new coaches and some talented players. I am interested in seeing how the league stacks up as the season unfolds. Im curious to see how the new schools will stack up after a full season in this league and how quickly May and Musselman are able to adapt with their brand new teams and league. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/big-ten-basketball-top-25-incoming-freshmen-recruits-for-2024-25-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most encouraging thing to me was the talk of Myles Rice's leadership abilities...I thought our leadership was lacking at times last year... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just last night I watched the Matt loves ball highlights of Washington States win in the tournament. Miles was involved in a few offensive plays but the thing that stood out to me only one or two of Drake’s baskets involved Miles on defense. He must have been doing his job defensively! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted July 18 Author Report Share Posted July 18 The other thing the 2 guys in the video worried about, Rice and Carlyle's shooting, I don't think is that much of an issue... Rice shot 33% (about average) from 3 in his first 26 games. Starting 2/22 in his last 9 games he shot .071 😯 Carlyle shot 36% in his first 16 games (he didn't play until mid December because of academic issues) but after 2/22 (musta been "Freshman Hit the 3 Point Wall Day" @Drroogh 😁) he shot only 22% in his last 8 games. We get 35% from 3 for both, I'll take it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of positivity to feel good about that. couple of factors could have contributed. Maybe the first part of the season is who they are. Maybe the last 9 games is who they are in terms of shooting. I am hoping it is more of.... from what little I know of them last season, they kinda put the team on their back. maybe playing 35+ minutes a game with a high usage rate lead to fatigue in the last part of the season. Hopefully IU has enough talent where they dont have to be relied upon going 125% for every play for 35 minutes.

IUFLA Posted July 19 Author Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) I saw this on X from Rapheal Davis (who I think is terrible)... Here are Jeremiah Williams career stats... 21% from 3 last year, and overall 26%...How does that work out to 40% this year? and here's the NBA scouting report on Harper... "Capable of shooting from distance and shows shooting touch but lacks some arc and can improve 3PT consistency. Shot 33.3% 3PT% on 4.5 3PT attempts per game over the Nike EYBL and 25% 3PT% on 2.9 3PT attempts per game at the U19 World Cup in 2023" That was against high school kids... Sorry, not seeing it...

I think he’s saying they NEED a 40% shooter on the wing. But yeah Rapheal is horrible. And he thinks Adam Smith is the second coming????
