I stand by it and believe we will be vindicated. This is my kind of player. Whether he can start or not, I have no idea. But I want him in the locker room. He’s not going to be afraid playing on the road in the B1G. And that competitive attitude will spread through the whole roster. Especially with a 13 man scholly limit, we have room to get this kid. I can’t wait to see how our ‘22 class shapes up. There are always guys that emerge in the summer. But imagine a dream scenario of Braden, CJ, Jalen Washington, Karaban, and Phillips, the big guy from Dayton. Four guys that can shoot and a big man. That’s an LFG situation.

Coach Robby Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’ve wanted him at IU since he torched us as a freshman 2 years ago. He’s good. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Robby Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Tom Coverdale minus the Budweiser good? A capable shooting point guard? Who will make 37-42% of 3’s in college off the catch? I’m in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder I like Smith! I also see a bit of Aaron Craft in there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that was the rumor but the rumor was also that he was told it was likely going to be Stevens. I don't think it'll matter though as long as Woody and company make a strong push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 What’s the competition level that Braden is going up against? No idea that’s why I’m asking. Rob put up very good numbers in high school but the level of competition wasn’t like a 4A or 5A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good competition, as well and played for IN Elite. RP played Romeo when they were SOs in the state championship game. I mentioned above his schedule was ranked 20th in the state this past year, he also plays in the 2nd hardest sectional in the state. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think their games resemble each other much at all. I played against Hulls 4 or 5 times. He was a shooter, even in his HS games. Dee Davis would be a good comparison to Smith, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post btownqb Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'm 100% sold on Braden Smith. I had no clue his numbers so good until yesterday and today. 22p 6a 5r 3s 55% from the field, 45% from 3, and 83% from the line. He's the guy. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
