On this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio, we react to Juwan Morgan’s many interesting comments from his podcast appearance with Andy Katz before breaking down three team stats that Indiana needs to improve upon this season to make good on Juwan’s NCAA Tournament guarantee.
On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Tonsoni
In Segment One [2:17], Jerod delivers his Banner Moment, and then Andy and Coach gang up pretty viciously on Ryan for sleeping through the first half of last week’s show. Then the guys run through a few Hoosier Hysteria headlines and discuss whether the early start time will be good or bad for attendance.
In Segment Two [14:27], the guys dissect Juwan Morgan’s comments on Andy Katz’s podcast — including his praise for Romeo Langford, his belief in what Evan Fitzner can bring to the team, and the surprising biggest thing he learned from the NBA Draft exploration process.
In Segment Three [26:21], the guys break down three high-leverage team stats that Indiana needs to improve upon to be better this season. Fortunately, there are reasons to believe improvement can happen for all three stats. They discuss 3-point shooting, defensive rebound, and assist-turnover ratio from the guards.
In Segment Four [44:26], two listener questions dominate discussion: 1) which coach from the “golden triangle” will have the most success over the next few years; and 2) which former IU player is the best player comp for Ryan. (He’ll HATE this discussion.)
All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we use Archie Miller's recent comments about De'Ron Davis on the College Hoops Today podcast as a jumping off point for assessing what is fair to expect from De'Ron this year, how he improved last season, and how he might fit on this year's IU roster.
On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and ... eventually ... Ryan.
In Segment One [2:16], Jerod and Andy deliver their opening thoughts, explain why you should bookmark iutickets.shop, and then discuss their biggest reactions to Archie Miller's podcast appearance. (Listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/compass-media/college-hoops-today-with-jon-rothstein-indianas-archie-miller-1)
In Segment Two [14:00], Jerod and Andy dissect Archie's individual comments about Evan Fitzner, Justin Smith, and Devonte Green. Then they discuss the timetable Archie laid out for De'Ron's return, before talking about fair expectations for him in the upcoming season.
In Segment Three [26:06], Ryan appears! The conversation on De'Ron continues. What do the numbers say about his improvement last year and his biggest strengths and weaknesses? How difficult might it be for the coaching staff to work him into the lineup if he isn't ready to play until mid-season? And more.
In Segment Four [40:59], we answer your questions:
• What about Race Thompson?
• What are our favorite memories of Brian Evans?
• What will Archie's biggest challenge be this season?
• Why is recruiting in-state players so important? (Ryan makes an especially good point about this.)

On this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio, we discuss this week’s top story: Armaan Franklin giving Archie Miller his first commitment in the class of 2019 — and yet another in-state recruit to build his program around.
On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.
In Segment One [2:20], Jerod opens up discussing the importance of the special guest speaker the team hosted on Wednesday. Then Andy and Ryan give their opening thoughts on Franklin’s commitment, which leads into Ryan’s detailed scouting report of Franklin’s game.
In Segment Two [17:40], the guys discuss the many different reasons why this is such an important recruit to get for Indiana, and explain why seeing a triple-digit ranking number next to Franklin’s name and wondering if he’s a recruit worth being excited over is a misguided notion.
In Segment Three [26:04], it’s Ryan’s favorite segment: player comps! We provide a few recent Hoosiers with whom Armaan shares some traits. Then we look ahead to the rest of the class of 2019 and what is important to watch for moving forward.
In Segment Four [40:44], we highlight a few important notes from the date/time/TV schedule release, and then answer a few listener questions.
All of that and more (including a little unexpected silliness) on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.
