Remy Abell

I guess this makes it official...
"If Jim Les hadn't been fired at Bradley in March of 2011, Abell would likely be
one of the best players on a Missouri Valley Conference team that was 7-25 last season." ...

Indiana is on ESPN playing Georgetown and it's a great game.
Remy Abell is having a very good game. He doesn't shoot much, but he has been running the point position in Crean's offense in the second half, and really looks good. He is 2-2 from three, and is now shooting 87.5% from three for the year!

So sayeth Dustin Dopirak?

I don't see what is so great about this guy. In IU's last 3 games he's had a whopping 3 points, 8 points, and 6 points. He has just 5 assists on the year. He is NOT their point guard, he plays it to give Jordan Hulls a rest. In fact, he's not even getting 15 minutes per game. If he's so good, he would be in the game during crunch time. I have watched the last 10 minutes of their game vs Georgetown and have yet to see him get in the game. So maybe his minutes actually aren't increasing despite the absence of Verdell Jones, Matt Roth, and Daniel Moore.

You really think he is no good? I admit he may never be the star of this Indiana team with all the 4 and 5-star players, and future NBA'ers they have, but the segment I saw he had a big part to play with Indiana making up a deficit and pullling ahead in the middle of the 2nd half. There were critics who said he could never play point guard, even in the MVC, but he looked pretty good to me. You don't think he would have made Bradley a better team?

Here is another one that is not meant to annoy the JL-haters-
But another player it would have been nice to see play in Peoria, Corey Hawkins scored 29 points tonight to lead UCD to a big road win over an improved Sacramento State (they were 3-0 with a road win at Utah). Tyler Les was 3-6 from three.

Corey Hawkins is a very good all around player - in addition to 29 pts (he's averaging 21.5 ppg) he had 7 reb & 5 asst.

BTW - unrated Georgetown nearly beat Indiana but loses in overtime...

It would of been nice, but sounded like it would never happen regardless of the coach:

I have heard it was Hersey's feeling that the kids shouldn't play at Bradley where Hersey is a legend. He wanted them to stay out west.
Corey, since his sophomore season, has had bigger schools like Arizona State (where he committed) offering scholarships, so Bradley had no chance with him.

[Da Coach]

That may have been Hersey's thoughts with his older son Brandon, but after Corey left Arizona State and transferred, he wanted to play for Jim Les. I think he would be at Bradley now if JL was still here.

And let me remind that Remy Abell was signed to a LOI for Bradley, People will believe whatever they want, but there is little doubt he would be here.

I still can't understand all the fallout doubters.

That's OK Da Coach. Most of us don't understand you and the very few who overblow the FALLOUT either.

If Remy had stayed committed we would have someone who st least resembles a point guard. We are lacking that right now.

+1 Couldn't agree more. The selfish play from our PG was very disheartening.

Not sure I agree. Not only is Abell young but he is not a natural PG. He's a very good player but I'm not sure he'd be an improvement at PG. I'm confident that Fields will solve that problem next year and am hopeful that Bell can develop into a a more confident and comfortable PG. Bell seems to be better suited as a combo guard so I'm betting Geno is looking for a true PG to take over from Fields eventually.

That's why I said "right now."

He would have looked real good running the weave and dribbling off moving screens.

B4L so you are saying that our PG play is adequate right now? I believe the WL experiment at PG should be over. I can see getting him the ball in a fast break but I'd rather see JE or DSE work the ball as a PG during set plays. WL is a bit selfish and dribbles way too much IMO. Too bad he's not 6'5" because he'd be a great 3. As a two he does not have the 3 point shooting skill that is necessary. I wonder what his team members think of his play. If I played with him I'd be pissed. I remember one play where he drove in and was tripled teamed driving in the paint with WE sitting beyond the 3, wide open on the weak side. A decent PG would have found him. PG should be pass first shoot second unless you're that good and he's not. Man I hope AF is that good because lacking another big we'll be very average if not!
