• In segment two, we discuss Mike Roberts. What were our initial reactions to the news? How have those reactions changed? What does Roberts' history suggest about what he'll be able to bring to Archie Miller's staff?

Anthony Leal Scouting Report and Commitment Reaction Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we react to Anthony Leal's commitment and Ryan delivers an outstanding, in-depth scouting report of Leal's strengths and weaknesses and how he projects to the next level.
We also discuss the importance of accumulating in-state players who stick around beyond a year, and we tell you whether you should be at all worried about the Yahoo Sports report that mentions Romeo Langford. Plus, your questions.
Questions include: who we would handpick to fill out the 2020 and 2021 recruiting classes; the biggest question we'd like to see answered before the season starts (non-Jerome Hunter and assistant coach category); and what leads us to believe that we'll be a better shooting team this season.
All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

Offseason Listener Mailbag Extravaganza! Aug 09, 2019

Show notes

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss Anthony Leal's college decision, the recently announced Hoosier Hysteria date, and then open up the listener mailbag.
We answer questions about the packline defense; why the offense might be better than we think ... if we can ever get some shooting; which recruits are must-gets in 2020 and 2021; who will score 8 or more points for IU this season; the impact of Race Thompson, our level of concern with only having one true point guard on the roster; Jerome Hunter; the possibility of Davis and Brunk playing together; and more.
It's a fun, wide-ranging episode and we hope you enjoy.
All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.
