SIAP. He intends to play for the Serbian National Team in July but then immediately join our team and will be included on the Puerto Rico trip. Raby described him as a development player vs. a project player with an existing skill set better than Harun Zrno. He is expected to play next season but may not log major minutes. Raby used Priller as an example of a project player so that should be all you need to know regarding Raby's use of development vs project.

Top 50 RB out of Powder Springs, GA 247 Rivals On3 Let's hope he SLI for IUFB!!! He has quite the offer sheet. Watching his HUDL, he definitely fits the mold of a Coach Cig running back. Looks like he can work on his break away open field speed but he's got all the goods otherwise.

Well we aren’t really allowed to play defense. If we are too close to SGA he will jump into the defender and it will be a foul on the defender

Guessing Leal

If I ask Aleksa for the weather forecast for tomorrow, will I get an accurate answer?

This is an exciting add. Is it possible that after having Javon last year at the point and having Conerway this year that there is a physical achetype we can expect moving forward? Will DD be looking for strong scoring pg's? That would be exciting. Definitely can get his own shot. Didn't know Kenny had Serbian ties. There has to be a Serbian man-child big over there.

Let’s go. Pumped about this pick up. Get the 7’3 Italian kid and DDV will officially be cookin. Mama Mia

You really don't deserve to win a championship if your best player goes an entire finals game without hitting a single shot.

Yes

It’s another guard but I’m here for it.

Nope...not yet

Not a fan of Shai's style. But I feel like its Jalen Williams that is really killing tonight

In terms of sloppiness with the ball, he still was 2 to 1 in assists to turnovers

What a great picture!

I like this pick up from out of the blue. Another shooter and a combo guard with good size. He'll also be 20 at the start of the season with experience against players in the top Serbian league. From looking at his stats it looks like he is a decent rebounder for a guard, is a willing passer, and can get steals (although not consistently). It looks like he can get a bit sloppy with the ball, though. I guess consistency might be something he needs to work on. Edit: Reading on peegs that he's expected to be a depth/development player next year so don't expect too much in year 1.

Oh Hell yes, Serb 200 pound well tested shooter/lead guard-wing. yes, I’d like another forward but this is a great pickup. Love, love love that we’re adding an experienced Euro ball player, team just got deeper and better. And this kid looks tough.

DDV threw me. I was pretty confident they’d add a Eurokid. Did not cross my mind it would be a guard. Welcome aboard, Aleksa.

We need all the shooters

Gardner making another UV to Bloomington later this week.

About the same as Mike Woodson's teams is the ceiling? What is the floor? Opinions are what we're here for and you are certainly entitled to yours, but I'm curious what the basis is for your opinion. Can't be roster quality because Woodson failed with far more roster star power, and Kelsey succeeded greatly last year with significantly less roster buzz. Isn't it more accurate to state that the new era is currently a big, fat question mark, but is being led by a staff that has flat-out produced results wherever they've been.

I 100% support and fully endorse this statement. *worth mentioning, I am also a lefty

Federal judge has denied Zakai Ziegler's petition. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/tennessee-guard-zakai-zeiglers-petition-to-play-fifth-season-of-college-basketball-denied-by-federal-judge/?fbclid=IwY2xjawK5NV5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFWRElRQThuQzgzMERmWks0AR7XwTfNosGQ_N-39Gmu7p7UdirrGs_Rc0BPplHsNh8CcTzfhUC4h8hfT5HiLg_aem_sxMjxiuSZZUuwa84IJFf7Q

If no one has noticed, @Lebowski is doing his best to win the weekly "most posts" award. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into keeping us updated on all things IUFB. Thank you.

I know Coach Devries says he likes what we have at the 5 but we play in the Big Ten. Two words-foul trouble, make that four words--injuries happen. just need some depth in the frontcourt. Time will tell. Let's all have fun this summer. The team arrives next week and practices and workouts begin. We should hear a few tidbits how players are looking. July we're back to AAU games and recruiting updates and maybe some more visits. August we have the Puerto Rico trip and hopefully some video of the team against some quality competition. September more visits and hopefully commitments. And football will be back.
