System with movement, constant top 10 rankings, constant top of the Big 10 and development programs? Who would not want that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jumps in late but to me he should be co-lead on every recruit PERIOD. Look at Marcus Freeman from Notre Dame. He is the Co-lead on every single player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierDPU95 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 He and McNeely play the same position, correct? We offered him 2 years before McNeely committed. Is McNeely a sure fire 1 and done? Who knows all that is going on here on either side but sure, let's find any excuse to throw $#@& on Woodson based on tea leave interpretation of an interview. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McNeeley wants to be a 1 and done. Also, assuming nothing drastic is happening with the lineup, Woodson needs McNeeley to be a 1 and done assuming the correlation between McNeeleys success and IU's Regardless, I think they can play on the court at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, McNeely very openly has said he wants to be a one and done. So, according to script, the plan is he wouldn’t even be on the roster with Sisley. McNeely also plays a lot of 2 guard in high school. They roll out Queen, Flagg, Newell and McNeely together. All four over 6’8. A bit positionless but McNeely looked like the shooting guard.

Good guards and coaches would get the switch and put us in a bad spot. If he’s forced to play at the 2 I think it means Woodson didn’t do well recruiting guards again and McNeely wasn’t a one year player. Would not be good.

McNeeley might want to be a 1 and done but it’s not very likely. He also is a P5 3. He doesn’t have the quickness to guard the 2 consistently at the P5 level.

Who you can defend then sure, but offensively there's little difference. I don't think there's a difference between a 2-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently our 3 guys, Mbako, Gunn, and Banks all can't dribble the ball. Our 4s Reneau and Walker, well we certainly don't want them trying to bring the ball up the court either. And only 2 of the 5 can shoot. So in summary, only 2 teams in the last decade have actually successfully deployed this mythological offense called positionless. Golden st with 3 of the greatest shooters in history Curry, Durant, and Thompson and one of the Villinova teams that had shooters literally everywhere.

This is the reasons teams try to get you to switch. Take advantage of a slow 3 against a fast 2. So yes I don’t want a 2 guarding a 4 if I can help it. Liam has size but isn’t overly quick. He can probably switch on some 2-4. Mbako isn’t slower than Liam by much but struggles guarding 2 guards. He’s a natural 4 etc… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
