We have landed Maryland Transfer/ #1 attacker, Stephane Njike!

Hill seems to be the unlimited ceiling/questionable motor kid that could be TJD ... or could be Xavier Booker.

Raby reported Branham and his parents were in town yesterday. Chase has an AAU event in Cincinnati this weekend.

They had been recruiting him since the 8th grade. This one had been decided a while ago

I'm speculating about this. Carr would say "Darian; my buddy with proven credibility about Sokolov says..." There would be plenty of game tape to watch. It's the 12th/13th developmental spot that likely doesn't cost much more than a scholarship.

And alarmingly reminiscent of the previous coaching administration.

Sadly I can’t even tell if this is past years euro bench magnet or this years…lol

Hilarious if true

Pretty accurate in college BBall years.

Probably looks at him like a project who has 5 fouls to give if he is decent.

I agree, but that doesn't mean that with everything at IU's disposal that we shouldn't be building every season with a NC in mind. If you want to compete with the big dogs you have to think like the big dogs and not just settle for making the tourney and a second round scenario, that would be great for say, Butler.. We have to find a way to build a roster that won't get worn down by March and hopefully alleviate injuries etc.. I don't think we are far off base here either, but signing glorified walk-ons isn't going to cut it late in the season imo. Signing a quality 4/5 combo that can give some quality minutes would go a long way.

Safe to assume that the Euro coach was interviewed, and that the Euro agent sent game footage. But that's a pretty quick scrub of a foreign player that likely had never heard of Indiana University until the week or two before he signed with us.

DeVries signed a player without scouting him at all, refusing to watch a second of game tape? Seems irresponsible.

What else would Sokolov be?

That has supposedly been a foregone conclusion for awhile.

Devries thinks of Sokolov that way because he's never met nor scouted the kid; taking the word of Carr's friend that he's worth the trouble.

Commits to Purdue

This is hideous. I remember this guy’s name as a pretty highly regarded NBA sleeper-type prospect in maybe ‘21 or ‘22.

And from GA State, he's on the move to UMass Lowell.

I was thinking that too when I saw them. I take it that he might want a bit more than what we have available. I do know from the CDD Q & A yesterday, he thinks of Sokolov as the 4th freshman for whatever that is worth.

He is 33 right now, and if he just hits 30 for the next 5 years, he will be right at 500. Those last 2 years will be test as he has 3 more elite years ahead if he doesn't get hurt.

Wasn't it just a few months ago, people on this board were complaining how the money was spread around to too many players and needed to spend big on 2 or 3 and fill in the holes? It's pretty much what they did, but some still don't like it.
