Season Over-Unders, Coach's Gannon Reaction, and Listener Mailbag Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

This week on Assembly Call Radio (episode #539), we go on the record with some predictions for then upcoming season. Frequent question submitter Jay provides us with a series of intriguing over-unders, and we make our picks.
In addition, we highlight the positives from Rob's performance against Gannon, get Coach's thoughts from being there in person, discuss Derek Elston's departure from the program, and then answer a whole bunch of listener questions ... which spill into AC After Dark.
Make sure you stick around for the discussion about the NCAA's toothless announcement about players profiting off of their name, image, and likeness, as well as what IU player past or present we'd most like to dress up as.
All of that and more on this week's special Halloween edition of Assembly Call Radio.
On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach

IU-Gannon Postgame Show: Armaan Steps Up and Shows Out Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

On Tuesday night, Indiana defeated Gannon 84-54 in its lone exhibition game of the season. The Hoosiers were without Devonte Green and Al Durham, and only had a limited Rob Phinisee, so Armaan Franklin handled the bulk of the ball-handling duties ... and impressed everyone with a well-rounded Assembly Hall debut.
After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.
On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan
Among the topics discussed:
— Armaan's impressive performance
— What particular skill improvements seemed to manifest themselves in Justin Smith's efficient night (and where he left a bit to be desired)
— More examples of Trayce Jackson-Davis' athleticism and competitiveness
— Why you can only take so much from an exhibition game in which Indiana didn't have its three top guards
— Where Jerome Hunter looked rusty, and where he seemed to find his comfort zone (albeit briefly)
— Are Joey Brunk and De'Ron Davis setting up too far away from the basket?
We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls. All of that, and more, on this edition of The Assembly Call.

What Impact Will De'Ron Davis Have In His Senior Season? Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

This week on Assembly Call Radio (episode #537), we continue our player preview series by discussion De'Ron Davis. For three years now, he's made a major impact for Indiana when he's been on the floor; but as we all know, the problem has been keeping him on the floor. How important is his presence for this year's team? How big of an impact can he have? We look ahead to De'Ron's final go-around in this week's episode.
In addition, we reflect on the secret scrimmage results, discuss Dawson Garcia's upcoming official visit, and answer a bunch of your questions.
All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.
On the mics: Coach, Andy, and our new intern Cam Drummond.

Which Path Will Justin Smith's Junior Season Take? Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

This week on Assembly Call Radio, the speeding locomotive of our player preview train stops at Justin Smith. He's not getting nearly as much hype this offseason as he was last offseason. Is that a mistake? There are plenty of indicators that suggest he could be due for a junior year breakout ... but also some others that suggest caution is wise. We assess which direction we think is most likely for his junior season.
In addition, we discuss Trayce Jackson-Davis' big first week as a Hoosier, celebrate the academic success of Indiana's athletic department, discuss John Calipari's comments on renewing the IU-Kentucky series, and then answer your questions about Indiana's defense, Race Thompson, and the best Big Ten game for a road trip.
All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.
