Totally agree. Out of line and uncalled for.

Stop.  Just stop.  There is no way you can question Gary Harris’ or any recruits intelligence based solely on where he chooses to play his basketball.  I hope he comes to IU and I don’t like Calipari or UK.  But saying there will “be hell to pay” and questioning anyone’s intelligence brings up questions about your own.  This kind of comment turns this into an ESPN comment board and is the exact opposite of what ITH is about. 

I agree that Watford’s strength is his outside game and he is a very big part of what makes IU click. Making the best part of your game even better never hurts but for someone to truly become a more complete player he must get better at what is not his strengths rather than concentrating on getting better at what is already the best part of his game. More of an inside game and being able to drive the ball all the way to the rim without getting his shot blocked is what he needs to get better at. This would allow him to be able to operate with even more ease in the part of his game that is his strength and make it even more of a possibility that he continues to shoot the 3 at a good percentage or even a higher percentage since his defender would not be able to play up on him as tight. Having Zeller down low now should make it easier for CW to be better at that part of his game. Didn’t say that he would do for IU what Green does for MSU or that he had the vision that Green has or could pass like Green but rather meant if he developed a more complete game he would be able to help IU in a way that “resembles” what Green does for MSU and it would be enough of a difference that it would be noticeable.

I wouldn’t be happy if Gary Harris ended up at UK but this comment is totally ridiculous and reflects poorly upon Indiana fans. You’ll reconsider his intelligence? Really? There will be hell to pay? What exactly does that mean?

I disagree. Watford’s outside game is his strength, and the best route for him to open up his all-around game would be using that to get the defense to open up for him on the interior.

He’ll be playing on the wing more and he’s going to have the opportunity to do just that. If he can continue to hit a high percentage from three and develop a strong midrange game he’ll be able to be much more effective when he goes inside and I think that’s also the most realistic scenario.
I love love love Watford’s game but there’s no way he could be to IU what Green is to MSU. Watford lacks his vision and that’s what sets Green apart on the wing. I think Watford will end up an even better offensive player but he’ll never be able to pass like Green.

We had no defender for him out on the floor. I hope Watford took away some lessons.
