Poor Borden, so dramatic about everything aren't you.
Green was out mid Nov 4 games, IU won 3 while he was out. IU is on a current 7 game losing streak, he has been out the last 3.
Whine and cry all you want about Hunter, he never played a game, hype him up all you want, he is unproven,
Thompson, played 4 mins in a IU uniform, unproven
Davis is injury prone, just a body
Phinisee has been back 5 games, you rode his injury in the ground. He missed 3 games, IU won 2 while he was out.
IU's 3 top scores has played in all 20 games, quit being so dramatic saying 50 games was lost. We get it, your team has injuries, move on.....smdh
1st. Dear God I really hope you take a avatar bet because I think you're picture is the most disturbing one here lol. Everytime I see it, I keep trying to look at ut to see if it's a hot chick because of the hair lol.
About the other parts.... Hunter is definitely unproven, but common sense would lead most to believe that a top 50 recruit whose biggest skill was shooting would definitely be a big help to a team that desperately needs shooting.
Davis was most definitely more then just a body! Not only would he probably have averaged around 8 to 10 points a game, but it would have allowed Morgan to move to his natural 4 spot. He has gotten worn down playing the 5 again this year because he doesn't have the size to take the beating night after night.
Green is one of the most frustrating player I've seen in a long time. But, the one thing he does bring is the ability to drop 5 3s in a game. Now, he also has plenty of games that he makes stupid mistakes. But, the 13th man on the bench replacing him also makes those mistakes, but doesn't have the ability to do the positives green did.
Phinisee has been back I believe 5 games now...you are correct. However, I'm not sure if its just because of rust of not touching a ball, or being in a gym for 3 weeks, or struggling to come back mentally from a concussion....but it took him a very long time to play even remotely close to how well he was playing pre-injury. The past two games you could tell that he's finally starting to play somewhere near the level he was before.
Race Hunter is another fir the most part unproven player. The coaches will definitely have a pretty good idea of where is was at since he did redshirt last year. He was a top 80 player, so it's not like he was some scrub.
Here is what I believe our rotation was beginning of the year.
Morgan missed 0 games
Romeo missed 0 games
Smith missed 0 games
Phinisee missed 3 games +5 games after injury
Mcroberts missed 6 games
Davis missed 11 games
Hunter missed 21 games
Durham missed 5 games
Green missed 6 games
Race missed 20 games
Fitzner missed 0 games
Moore missed 3 games (but wouldn't have played)
Anderson Missed 0 games
Forester missed 3 games (wouldn't have played)
How can anyone look at this and if their being objective say that if something similar had happened to their team, if wouldn't have completely derailed their team also?
*All the 4 of green, Davis, hunter and Durham their spot in the rotation would have been determined more on the opponent then anything else. Also, I put this together really quick, so a player might be +/- a game or two.
