McCauley, Schertz reunite to try to help ISU win again

Indiana State men's basketball coach Josh Schertz is hoping that his reunion with DePaul transfer Courvoisier McCauley returns the Sycamores to winning ways.

And in the spirit of the article, this Busta oldie but goodie:

My goodness I know the TribStar doesn’t use copy editors anymore but does Golden proofread his stuff at all before he submits it? That was painful to read.

Notice Schertz quote in this article: "People think [incoming freshman] Robbie Avila is a guard, but he's a big at 6-10, but who has a great skill set."

Yes, so he is our big? I see him as a C, but he looks non-aggressive, but that's HS where is not allowed to foul out.

I noticed this as well. Funny how he's listed on Gosycamores as 6'7. I've seen him listed on different sites from 6'6 to 6'9. Wonder which is really ACCURATE?

I've watched some of his games on Youtube. I think 6'10" is a stretch, but I could easily believe 6'8". If he tops out at 6'9" or so, he will have a lot of potential for us.
I think he has all of LaRavia's skills without some of the athletic ability. I watched one game where nearly every shot he took was right down the middle.
His FT's were automatic and the corner 3's were the same. He can really shoot, outside and inside.

Schertz has been big on "culture" this offseason. No better way to help with that than for him to add his best player from his best team.

Voss' counting stats at DePaul aren't all that impressive, but the advanced stats tell me he's a guy who could flourish with more paying time and more freedom.

120.8 ORtg
52.6 eFG%
55.3 TS%
7.0 TORate
2.1 Stl%
75 FT%
57.6 2PT%
32.4 3PT%

These are 3rd-ish team All-MVC numbers if he can keep it up while taking a higher percentage of possessions and shots.

The only issue I see is his three point shooting, but Schertz was raving about how he's an elite scorer and shooter. I would hope the outside shot making increases with more freedom to work.

I am sure his motivation and confidence will be high with this transfer. I love that he is already familiar with CS and his system/expectations. He's even an Indiana kid. Perfect fit for next year!

And what do you know Gosycamores now has him listed at 6'10 240lbs.

 

[Southgrad07]

Just have to speak it into existence i guess.. Next one JS, Sam Mervis 6'6 225 PG..Boom

 

[IndyTreeFan]

Hell, our entire lineup is now over 6'9", while retaining all their skills and quickness! Love it!!!

(Going with the "speak it into existence" theme... )

I watched part of a DePaul game. I'm pretty confident McCauley can score for us outside and off the dribble penetration. Good athlete and shooter.

Can we get Big Red or Bourbon and Canal or somebody to step up with some NIL money for this dude??

Don't get me started on that.
I heard that some organization, or whatever they are, has a $million to give to IU athletes.
I see why Coach is high on this guy.

it's a shame that The Haute isn't as brewery rich as pre-Prohibition -- imagine the NIL $$ from the various Beer Barons

When I approach Poplar when I'm driving on 9th St I can't help but imagine the possibilities sometimes. So much history that really needs to be tapped into. I'm a sucker for the pics and stories about TH at that time. Maybe something cool will be done with the CVS building after the Haute Hops and Vines Fest.

I wasn’t aware you had to declare if all of your eligibility was completed.

You probably don't, but it also probably doesn't hurt for a guy who isn't as highly touted as others in the NBA prospect field.
