I have seen him play over 80 games and have taken people with me and lets just say they leave impressed. Yes the big ten conference is tough and physical but Roth goes through getting fouled, grabbed, and everything else to score 20 plus a game. One more thing he scores within the concept of team play...hes not out there to pad his stats Matt will be the career scoring leader in Illinois and is on pace to end up in the top 8 nationally.

Matt Rothis going to ne great. He's going to be much beter than Hornsby because he has a more fluid stroke. As far as lacking some athletic ability, I say leave him alone. He's a basketball player with a great iq. He and coach sampson will come up with ways to get open shots. Can you imagine how easy threes will come by with double screens, while teams having to deal with ebanks as well. Any kid can be great in college b-ball if given a good coach and a great ability to shot . I better go dam euro is killing. Jaime out. I felt that my two euros were worth answering this subject.

As for Kuric, yeah he is a better athlete from what I hear, but that isnt what IU was looking for, we needed a shooter that can hit 3s with defenders closing on him. Matt Roth is going to set the ALL TIME record in the state of Illinios and with the makeup of the Hoosiers, him taking passes from a collapsing D will just make his shooting all that more important, they will be closing on him and he has proven time and time again he can HIT THE SHOT......... I think he is a BIG part to building a program, cant have enough kids that WANT to be Hoosiers and do what it takes to win......... PS: We will have plenty of athletes at IU now that KS is here, adding the likes of Roth and Pritchard are priceless imho of course........

Bottom line, if you can shoot the rock in high school, you can shoot the ball at any level. At worst, he sounds like the 2nd coming of Kyle Hornsby. If he has any ball-handling or above average defensive skills, that's just icing on the cake. David, do you think Butler was worried if AJ Graves could “shoot over some of the bigger guards”?
