Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

My order would be as follows

1) Romeo

2) Taylor 

3) Mooney

I think all three would greatly help and honestly I wouldn't mind getting 2 of the 3 as unlikely as that is because our shooting was so bad last year. The only reason I put Taylor ahead of Mooney is because he is 3 inches taller and the more length you have on the court the better.

I see very little upside in Taylor.

Based on what?  His ability to start from day 1 and shore up our biggest weakness? 

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

His TO and plus minus stats.

If we learned anything from CAM in year one, it is that he won't tolerate TO's and boneheaded mistakes.

His turnover numbers aren't horrible considering how much he was using the ball.  

Cant find his +/-

He would be playing a much different game with us though.

He had to do a lot at Evansville that he wouldn't do at IU.

CJ Walker just committed to Ohio St. He’ll sit one and play two. Great pickup for Holtmann. He got a lot of of Dakich, he’ll do the same with the much more talented Walker

[Lebowski 1,824]

Landing someone like Taylor will help the team on multiple fronts.  He's a 3pt shooter and 86 percent from the charity stripe.  He's got a lot of really good schools pursuing him.  I'm not sure he'll end up at IU but that would be a quality get if he ends up in Btown.

So maybe he feels a certain player from New Albany is definitely headed to Bloomington?

[mookied39 347]

Probably did not want to wait any longer.  Can't blame the kid.

Stop pooping in front of others.

It's not polite.

Northwestern????

Seriously???

Hopefully this is a sign for things to come at IU.

Bummer.  Makes sense though.  I was thinking he would end up somewhere close to Gary.  Northwestern got a good kid.  Best of luck to him.

Vis-a-vis the incredibly important best player on IU's team next year, even if Romeo chooses IU, there are deadlines looming for Juwan Morgan:

April 13

NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee, application deadline.

April 22
(11:59 p.m. ET)

NBA early-entry candidate application deadline.

I spoke with Matt Mooney if you guys haven't seen my post on Twitter, he said Archie & Ostrom came to see him yesterday & he likes the fit for him at IU. Will sit down this week & decide next steps
