    President of the Ryan Conwell Fan Club checking in. Absolutely. He would've been our best guard this season and it wouldn't have been particularly close, not that the bar was sky high. Big, strong lefty at 6'4 195 and I'd buy a little heavier than that. Can pull up from anywhere, catch and shoot, drive, has a solid handle. Trees aren't known for locking anyone up this season, but his physicals don't give me much pause as far as guarding at this level. In the NIT he's played against 3 P6 schools (counting SMU going to the ACC next year) that featured big, long athletes and has taken over all 3 games at certain points. The no-brainiest of all no-brainers.

    I haven’t watched ISU at all. Does Conwell’s game look like it would transfer to the BT? I love the fact that he is 6’4” and from the field/3/FT he shot 49%, 42%, 86%. That would be GREAT if he could do something close to that in the BT.

    Everything I've read/heard (no inside sources) is that Mgbako is going to test the draft waters. If he decides to play another year of college basketball, it will be at Indiana. I don't think he will get a Round 1 or 2 guarantee - so I think the safe bet for him will ultimately be to take a nice big NIL check and return to IU. I would say 70/30 in favor of staying at IU right now. Again, no inside sources - just thinking through it logically.

    I'm questioning the direction of the entire program & administration yet again with a simple concept: Give Woodson a "bag" of money and go "buy high character players" since he struck out on recruiting. Those two concepts don't line up, my friends. High character guys, and good teammates in general, aren't what we're looking for. They're looking for a spot in Lexington.

    Thanks for the summary. I can’t keep half the time so it’s appreciated. Quotation for the group: do we think this new recruit signals Mbako is gone or that Woody will in fact attempt a 4 out style offense? I think both would impact how and who we approach in the portal.

    I wonder how much of NIL budget is left. Hope we have enough to Buy... I mean recruit a good shooter.

    "In contact with" does not mean much, at least in my opinion. IU is going to be "in contact with" north of 50 players during this portal cycle. Some of the players they contact will have no reciprocal interest and things will not progress past the first initial text message or DM. Some of those players will tell IU what they are expecting in terms of role or NIL deal or whatever and it will not make any sense for IU and will not progress any further. Everyone is guessing, guys like Trilly and Rabjohns included, but reading between the lines on the information they have shared has me believing the following is IU's current plan: -PG: serious pursuits right now are Tony Perkins, Sears from UT-Martin, Leland Walker from EKU (unofficial visit this coming Monday) -Guards: Connor Hickman (visit this weekend), Ryan Conwell (has not entered yet but is going to after ISU's season ends...IU has already made him aware that he is a priority as he should be) -Wings: Bryson Tucker (it would be very surprising if he was not at IU for the 2024-2025 season, hopefully with Mackenzie Mgbako staying as well) -Bigs: no clue I am hoping that there are more guys that are currently not public but that IU has traction with...really hoping. If this was it and IU successfully added Perkins, Sears, Conwell, Hickman and Tucker plus a serviceable big man that would be a very unexpected (on paper) successful portal season. I'm not expecting it but it is hypothetically possible I guess.

    If Woodman would just go to the Rec Center with his briefcase full of money and watch some intramural kids he could find some players to fill the roster. That way it wouldn’t be to much of an inconvenience….time for lunch, afternoon golf, talking to friends and roster filled. Not that hard…money well spent on student athletes…that could become known.

    I agree with everything in your post except for the first sentence….LOL

    Throw in Perkins’s 29% from 3PT….how exactly is the 3PT shooting going to improve? Need more kids then these 2.

    There was another name on Alex Bozich's list that I missed earlier -- Javon Small (G) from Oklahoma State with 1 year remaining.

    Perkins not a great shooter Tucker is a mid-range guy Thats ok IF we can also land some shooters. What in the world needs to happen for IU, in INDIANA, to get shooters? Hopefully MM comes back because at this point he is the only perimeter threat we have. Another year in the 300’s, in 3 point shooting percentage and volume, won’t cut it. Is it really that hard?

    I have no idea if Hunter Dickinson directly talked to other guys in the portal but when he transferred to Kansas he openly stated that he was making under 100k at UM and was aware of “stars” making nearly $1,000,000 and basically thought…WTF. The “briefcases” definitely, not surprisingly, have impact.
  25. IndyHoops

    Then let’s bring in a couple shooters, because Perkins isn’t gonna help out much there.

    I know, and I'm all for Hickman coming to IU. Don't know the exact level of interest there is in between Perkins and IU, but Hickman is a guy that really fits a need.

    I want at least two flame throwers. Preferably starters or playing a lot of minutes.
