You act like the 3 bigs that hit the portal were already developed. Heck who knows how ready any of them will be in 2-3 years b/c they sure aren't now.

No way he goes for this type. If they can't shoot the 3 and/or probe the paint/catch/finish after the high screen and roll then they probably won't end up here.
I am really surprised we haven't heard of any offers being extended to new recruits. Also, does anyone know if we've reached the end of the exodus or is more suspected?
So basically we're going after big wussy boys that wish they were guards.
I still think there could be more but i would think it would have happened before now

Is that what you think of Brady Manek @ UNC?
No, I’m not naive to think a player of his skill set is walking through the doors tomorrow. This type is skill set seems to be what fits what JS wants to do. A big that can shoot, move without the ball and still hold his own on defense/rebounding.

St. Peters did okay with a mobile 6'8" center against the Purdue giants. Edey alone had 6 TO's.
We better get some interior defense to help cut down on the layups and putbacks. I wouldn't care if he couldn't shoot beyond 5 ft. Someone like Tre Williams would be great.
There are 357 other D-1 programs looking for the same thing.

No. We're going after guys who fit coach's system/the way the game is played today.

Thank you, Hooper. I’ll change it, “can’t shoot, stagnant on the block & terrible defense/rebounding.”
You really are turning into Hoopsfan from the opposite prospective. I apologize for stating JS style is mobile/shooting bigs rather than classic banging postman on the block.

Today's games have a lot of blocks around the basket. I want defense. Screw the "offense" the way they play today or Coach's "system."

Lander would be an incredible get. He came into college at 17 and his light weight/strength was too much to overcome. He had ever offer you could want. He was the #1 ranked PG in his JR class.Lander was over rated coming out of Reitz a year early and thinking he was "Big Ten ready'. According to a few on the UE Forum, Archie "destroyed his confidence" (?) during yr. #1, then Woodsen gave him nothing but bench splinters last season. He's literally done nothing in 2 yrs., so I'd say that 5-star rating has dropped considerably. Personally, I always felt that he "coattailed" off of DRU SMITH'S popularity @ Missouri after Smith left UE. I think it's known as the "Halo Effect."

Btw, a UE poster felt that Lander would work well in JS's system. @ ISU..just an afterthought.
I haven't watched a single tournament game. I only watch the MVC and the OVC. What I know in the MVC is that there are a ton of defensive slugfests and that a wussy boy as a center won't cut it. I want someone that is pretty tough and that can be a bully inside like Gage Primm or Johni Broome. I'm not sure what the definition of shooting is, but I don't think any big we have has any business shooting beyond 15 feet. If we're recruiting wannabe guards we're not going to be very successful in the MVC, sorry to say.

So do you think that after his two (2) yr. IU performance under Archie/Woodsen that he's STILL a 5 star rated guard?

I'm just hoping he's had a "reckoning," thus enabling him to come to grips w/ the reality of his comparative talent and abilities. Still trying to figure out who the "voices" were that pushed him to forgo his final HS season. At the very least, he could've played @ a prep school against enhanced competition. Comparatively speaking, SW IN HS basketball is a moon shot from Big Ten play.

Prep school? Isn't that why he went to IU?

What I am saying is that some school will be thrilled to take a chance on this guy. He's too thin but he'll be a really good player for somebody in the next couple years.So do you think that after his two (2) yr. IU performance under Archie/Woodsen that he's STILL a 5 star rated guard?
