I don’t know about loaded. A lot of mid majors we hope translates. I generally believe shooting translates. I’m excited about Wilkerson, DeVries. I think Conerwell will be interesting on defense. Idk. Miles looks the part somewhat but played on a bad team. Bailey looks like he’ll be fun on offense. Does it translate against taller, better athletes? Just a lot of questions, as there always will be. The computers that do a fairly good job of stacking us up versus other teams has us around 40. Seems about right, I suppose. A team that plays for each other though can make waves. That’s the hope. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Agreed. It’s very intriguing. A different style of hoops is going to be refreshing. Just feels like we are a long ways off. Lotta teams loaded up. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I’d trade our roster with about 30-40 teams and feel good about it. That’s not ideal.

That’s kinda my lean as well. Mak at the 4 is asking A LOT though. I think her offense gets her on the floor. Can she guard the 4?

DeVries certainly isn’t splashy. Gonna be interesting to see if what he’s building is good enough. Computers got us hovering around 30-40. Might be able to break top 25 with the right finishing moves. Would be nice to start high as computers are a factor throughout. However it looks like we will have to earn it. Wilkerson was Splashy, but no way our roster has any appearance of a top 10 paid roster. I find it interesting despite apparently having the resources. I’ll be honest I love an off-season where we are talked about on all the pods and national circles. Part of that is coach respect. We’ve got a rebuild of sorts going on here still.

Who wants to take a shot at starting 5? Shay and Sock N seem like locks. Phoenix, Lenee, Caffey, Makalusky, Spreen, Noyan on my next list. Do we think the starting 5 comes from this 7? Who am leaving out? Thoughts?

Forcing DeVries to watch this years version of Indiana baseball is cruel and unusual punishment. Which Center is he referring too? Haha. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Definitely a real chance he doesn’t end up at MSU. Lol. That’s better. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Seems like most likely landing spot as of today. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Curious choice. Seems like an 11-13 guy. Pitino and DeVries/KJ see something in him. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Between the Hoosiers and the Cubs, wild day of baseball. Kinda feel like we need the sweep and a run here at the end. Hopefully this is a turning point but I’m not holding my breath.

I think DeVries likes a rim protector. I’ll be surprised if we don’t end up with one. Sometimes they play themselves out of the rotation but you need to have one to win at the highest level imo. Baylor was one of the few exceptions if I remember correctly. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Like Curtis. The perfect flyer to take. 100% behind this move. The question become Bailey, is he gonna be more 4 or more 5. I think he can play 4. He’ll play both. I think even with Curtis you try to get a more experienced rim protecting 5. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Agreed. Let’s see what happens. I think KJ will pull something off to get a “startable” athletic, defensive 5.

Yep, and high school recruiting events. They get paid well for their services and on an average year they should only be adding 4-5 players. I don’t feel too sorry for them. Doing what they love.

Ain’t nobody got time for that! He can sleep in May like the rest of the basketball community. lol.

MM I think had major disconnect issues at Indiana at times and particularly in year 2 with Woodson. Woodson tried playing the Reneau, Mgbako, Ballo frontcourt so long and it put Mgbako in the worst possible spot with him having to play the 3. He might have wanted to play the 3 but it wasn’t the right move. If his next coach can idnentify his strengths and weaknesses he can be a big asset. His free throw stroke was beautiful. And his 3 point shot really too. He lost his concentration in year 2 and started missing free throws and forcing 3s. Woodson was drawing up guard plays for him to run off double staggers and MM rarely hit those shots. He was better with the catch and shoot from set positions. His driving was ok but clogged lane made things tough. I could see him going bananas and having a tremendous year with the right system and his mental settled.

Thomas Sorber from Georgetown might be an option with KJ connection.

Nah, just national recognition. If your good enough to start at Montverde over the past some years, it propels you. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

makes sense. Kenny is gonna poach 1 or 2. Methinks.

Haven’t heard from the horses mouth, but I think it’s a no brainer. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Offensively he’s slick. Got a nice crossover. Can go L/R. Prefers right. Fast, has a nice one handed scoop that’s really quick. Good three point shooter but not a great free throw shooter. I don’t love that. Makes me nervous for a regression a bit. He’s not at all known for his defense. Has the tools, but considered a bad defender. DDV will need to get him to change his nonchalant defense. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app
