Stuhoo

He played at a Skyy Clark/Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn-level number of high schools. Poor bastard has no idea what state he's currently in, but he knows he's cool with playing for "Transfer." ps: Both Clark and Gibbs-Lawhorn are also in the portal.

Same guy. Still younger than Chad Baker-Mazara and IUFB's new punter.

"THE PHONE HAS NOT STOPPED BUZZING!" *and the bottom has not stopped fuzzing.

Irving Fuzzbottom Position: Point Guard | Height: 6'4" | Weight: 195 lbs Status: Transfer Portal (Junior) Eligibility: 2 Years Remaining Evaluation & Analysis Scouting Summary Fuzzbottom is a high-IQ floor general with prototypical size for the modern game. Standing 6'4" with a wingspan that allows him to play larger than his frame, he excels as a primary initiator who can see over the defense. He is a "pass-first" guard by nature but possesses a polished three-level scoring package that makes him a constant threat in pick-and-roll situations. While not an elite vertical athlete, his change of pace and deceptive footwork allow him to navigate into the paint with ease. Strengths Elite Vision: Possesses advanced spatial awareness; exceptional at hitting shooters in their pocket and finding cutters through tight windows. Size & Frame: His height creates significant mismatches against smaller lead guards, allowing him to post up or shoot over the top of the defense. Pick-and-Roll Proficiency: Displays patience off the screen, consistently making the right read whether it’s a lob, a kick-out, or a floater. Defensive Versatility: Multi-positional defender who can switch 1-through-3. Uses active hands and disciplined positioning to disrupt passing lanes. Areas for Improvement Lateral Quickness: Can occasionally struggle with elite, "twitchy" sub-6-foot guards on the perimeter. Free Throw Consistency: While a capable shooter, improving his efficiency at the charity stripe will be key for closing out tight games.

One to watch (yes; Indiana made the list):

When one adds up all of these players plus the ones that nobody knows about, but are actually viable? We're gonna need a much bigger roster. Your 2026-27 Indiana Hoosiers!

Anspach is a big who was All-A10 Second team! If that isn't a 100% sure thing I don't know what is. ;)

Anyone disparaging Jorge Tomatoes is gonna have to answer to me.

Jorge Tomatoes with breaking news!! @eddy4iu had this pinned down yesterday, and eddy is known to eat salads with plenty of Lettice. hmmmmm...

When such an enormous percentage of quality players are simultaneously in free agency, it's a potential gold mine to correctly time offers and acquisitions. If Ryan Carr is as good at this as he's supposed to be, we can get far better value by timing an early get or two to show the roster's potential, and then wait until the biggest spenders fill key slots. There will be excellent players left on the outside looking in after the Michigan's, UConns, and Duke's pluck their choices. So so much like a fantasy football re-draft league.

BOARD ALERT: We are now in potential meltdown mode if we don't sign Markus Burton! geez Louise, didn't have that on my bingo card!

A pretty strong recruiting strategy. Kinda like a football coach going after any three star that gets offered by Cignetti, and then trying to outbid IU for the kid.

Another theory: WAYNEFLEEK IS GEORGIE LETTUCE! PS: No you knuckleheads; he is not. PS pt. 2: I am now tempted to change my posting name to "Jorge Tomatoes."

Lettuce scrapes!

100% -Love ya back and the discussion is spicy and fun! I AGREE… we need to get size, talent, and skill. But $$ spent and high profile acquisitions don’t necessarily equate to those goals; great evaluations and money wisely spent accomplishes that. And if the current staff doesn’t have that skill no bankroll will save them.

Some team is gonna get the highest profile portalizers. I guess that adding Oumar Ballo to IU’s lineup was sweet because of how much he cost, but…………. I’m FAR more interested in seeing if IU wins a lot of games next year.

If teams need $14-18 million to compete, then only about ten teams will compete. Yet 25 teams will be ranked. And top 25 teams should be considered competitive. Therefore, as my family says about our dog Milo, I am confuzzled.

Aye caramba! As Sir Chuck would say, "He turrrible."

By "the only good pieces" you mean one player; Lamar Wilkerson. Others like Enright, Sam, and Tucker played really hard and can leave with their heads held high, but they did not succeed as B1G starters.

If that's 3rd team All-SoCon I'd like to see what the players on the first two teams were like!

He could be our next JasonJosh HarrisDrake!

I tell's ya what: There are going to be some high level after market fire sale players available when some of this incredible glut of excellent players in the portal misses out because they wanted too much initially. Players better have a hell of a smart agent to navigate this stuff.
