Matt Cross is going to visit Iowa and Wisconsin so he may actually end up in the B1G. I remember how much Miller wanted him.

Walker to FAU.   Seems to be a nice landing spot for him with plenty of PT 

Lot more playing time there I’d assume
CU is a strange program: not much success nationally, but every time I look  up they’ve got 1 or 2 players in the NBA lottery

Our one time Finnish target, Miro Little at Baylor, has entered the portal.  Believe we sent Dane Fine to Finland to see him.

Interesting parallel to Yarden Garzon and her sister with their family in Israel.  Can't begin to imagine the mental strain they must deal with.  

Sounds like Malone is down to Colorado or Notre Dame according to Rabjohns 

I am with you on Jones, he didn't do much for me. 
Candidly, I assumed he would take a step-down and go MWC to build up his value.

Just a reminder there's still a full week left for undergrads to enter the portal and a grad transfer can enter at any time so still opportunity to land a backup 5.
CORRECTION.  Since posting this, the NCAA has closed the window on grad transfers to May 1, same as for undergrads effective this year.

You didn't really think Reneau and Ballo were going to play 35 mpg together simultaneously did you? Even before Goode entered the picture that was never going to be the case.  

No, I’m saying 100110011101.

So you’re saying the robots aren’t immediately taking all of our jobs.

Piece of advice:  always label your bottles lest you use the wrong one.

Think you'll see extended stretches with Ballo/Reneau as the only big and Goode/Mgbako as the 3/4. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing either. I still expect the staff to land an emergency 5 in case Ballo or Reneau go down, but the way things are shaking out, Ballo and Reneau will likely start together and then see their minutes staggered.

IU contacted but don’t think it got much past that.  I really like his game but he’ll deserve minutes IU can’t give.  Poor man’s Robbie Hummel.

Yep, if we don’t bring in a backup 4/5 guy then it makes sense. But if you do, and that guys is getting 10-15 minutes a game, then the minutes are gone.
If we commit to more 3 guard looks though then yep, Goode at 15 minutes is reasonable. (Which was the point)

also @Coach Robby says we're getting an OL transfer from Louisville. Luke Burgess anyone? 

“Reserve my bag and I’ll see you after finals week”.  :)

I couldn’t remember how to spell it and Humdinger sounds better anyway. 

Sounds like we’re taking Goode, so the Humdinger train from Evansville has left the station. He’s leaning Louisville.

Why do we need Goode?
Pretty simple ... 
We lost a No. 10. He's No. 10. 
He fits the shirt. LOL! 

Because he fills a role, and it appears to be that he is willing to play that role.  Who else is willing to play that role?

His role won’t be to score double figures. He will be brought in to shoot 3’s and space the floor for 15-20 min/game. 
 
his offensive rating last season was 124, very efficient on low usage. 

Twitter account since.....April 2024.  Twitter bio says he has covered sports for the 'New York Herald since 2024'.  Wikipedia indicates the New York Herald has not existed since 1924.

We are in the race. He just visited Colorado and my understanding is that Colorado  got him to visit because they have a lot of minutes and a lot of $ to offer him. I still think we are in a good position, but he wants to take his time. I expect it to come down to IU vs Notre Dame just due to proximity to his home and where he played his first 4 years of college.
Remember - this is his first time going through a big time recruitment, so I am not surprised to see him taking his time. I think we could hear something this week.

Walker visit has been canceled.
