Not sure why but this is the second time he hasn't been to a game that he was scheduled to be at. He might just be waiting to watch IU against a better team at this point.

Coach Robby Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Watched him this morning in hall of fame classic. Meh, a sample size of course but little to no motor when not directly involved. Didn’t run the floor well either. Just my opinion obviously 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU would be a bad place for an in-state big to go and look disinterested. We'd eat him up on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I haven’t seen him play but the talk about his lack of a motor is consistently observed. If it’s all legit, IMO we should be careful with the offer or accept the risk and be prepared for him to be the 13th man if he doesn’t have a come to Jesus moment about fully applying himself. There is one unforgivable aspect of a player: lack of motor and competitiveness. If you play all out, it can cover up and make some other deficiencies forgivable.

Maybe his high school coach isnt a motivator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Robby Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 This kid has so much potential. Like wow! But he has 0 interest in the 2 games I’ve seen live. There’s a reason he and other starters didn’t play in 4th quarter of the hall of fame classic… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of TKR though stretch 4 with long arms and above average quickness & hops. Not sure what keeps him out of top 40-60 in rankings.

It's been his major knock in HS and doesn't appear to be changing. 17 hours ago, Indykev said: Some kids need that push. Look how TJD's motor changed under CMW. Maybe his high school coach isnt a motivator. It's a risk but if Woodson plans to use only 8-10 person rotation then that leaves 3 scholarships for risks and projects. It's possible that he needs a different type of motivation than his HS coach is capable of giving and I'm sure that Woodson has lots of experience motivating talented players in different ways. So he might be able to get him to compete constantly hard but maybe not. I'd personally rather IU passes on him but I have no say in the matter and will hope for the best if he commits to the Hoosiers but won't be at all upset if he heads elsewhere.

I saw him sit Trayce once after a substandard effort this year...as Trayce went by, he got an ear full too... Love that about CMW...He's coaching everyone hard... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
