It’s wait and see on this staff for me. And it’s wait and see on the whole operation. Nothing has impressed me yet, besides the secrecy. We don’t appear to be “Winning” yet. But neither did UL and UK and it mostly worked for them. Now Louisville is cooking and UK is cooking. Hopefully we can do something similar.

I think you gotta be portal heavy these days. It just makes too much sense.

Don't love it, don't necessarily hate it. He has connections, that is for sure. We tried to get Preston Murphy and that guy looks like a future star to me. Kids really respond to Preston. Not sure Kenny rocks that way, but it should open some avenues to top talent, i think. Goodman loves us to struggle and publicly posted our attempts to get Moore.

Maybe he can get Bidunga next year. LOL. Also curious if any Cincinnati guys are deemed recruitable. Adams has a nice reputation but i'm keeping my eye on him proving his worth.

It was supposed to read as a joke about the number of recruits we target. Missed my mark.

Love ya OF. It wasn't a knock. your contributions have always been one of the best things on gathering IU recruiting intel.

so true.

Have you seen Old Farts “had Indiana offer” lists this off-season? Lol. We remember. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Generally agree. However some talent surpasses experience. Rare, but possible. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

“Missed” on Yates. They are gearing up big spending for Wilkerson. Will stink if 2 of our opponents took our 2G options from us in Conwell and Wilkerson. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Freshman are wise to pay attention. Many of the good ones are getting recruited over like crazy right now. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

The only thing I’ll say about this one is it’s 4 names combined into 2 and no one can convince me otherwise. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Great game and schedule. We better build a great roster. @UK, neutral Louisville and Marquette. Could be great, could be brutal. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s been the gossip for a while.

He's a great up and comer. He's going to climb the coaching ladder. He might turn out to be a really good one at some point. But Indiana will be just fine.

Appreciated. My track record has been really solid and I want it to work more than anyone. I don't have all the answers either, clearly. I'm positive when its called for. We haven't had a ton of that in the program for a long time. I like to "scout" players and have my own takes. I think our offense is gonna be fun this year but we need to address defense and athleticism primarily. It's all got to work together. I like Reed Bailey and Tucker Devries. Concerned about both of them on defense. I've stated my peace on Enright for a while. Love the kid and the energy, just think he's gonna be outgunned. I don't care for Comer either too much. Didn't love Pack. I've been underwhelmed at the PG targets especially. I really like Wilkerson. Like Brozvic. When the Roster is final we can evaluate it all over again. I was positive about Bailey, DeVries, Wilkerson, so there's a stigma attached.

I’m afraid we might figure this out the hard way with a couple of kids this year.

Yeah, it’s hard to believe he thinks he can win the B1G with an average mid-major backcourt. That would be a heck of an ego. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Fun or depressing. Entertaining nonetheless. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

A lot of examples of teams doing so much more with the PG spot. Frustrating. I guess DeVries thinks he can win this way. Hope Tucker can hit a bunch of 35 footers when all else fails. Wilkerson would be a huge get for scoring punch. We’ll see if that happens now. What are we gonna run with end of shot clock scenarios. Lol. Enright gonna be our guy? Crazy.

Pretty bummed to hear this. Just completely unimpressed with what we are doing with the PG position. Jones is a good comp I suppose. He was a defensive menace and became a clutch 3 point shooter for them at 35% on nearly 5 attempts. Feels like Comer is about to happen then. I guess I’ll mentally prepare for this one. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

So Enright is the starter now? Comer got those stats as a lead player on an 11 win team shooting 38% from the field and 30% from 3. If his quickness was so great he’d get easy buckets at the rim or have crazy assist numbers from dump offs after beating his man. None of these things happened. He was an inefficient high volume guy and that’s been his career.

That quickness wasn’t enough for him to dominate at Evansville or Eastern Kentucky. He’s little. If his quickness can’t dominate at a lower level it isn’t going to dominate in the B1G. Plus he’s another guard that’s not a great shooter. Everyone has their own opinions and that’s fine. Expecting him be a + guard in the B1G when he hasn’t been that anywhere else Is fools gold.

And Tonje… was he a superstar at Colorado state? No. But he was solid and efficient with great shooting splits against a higher level of competition. He jumped up as he grew in confidence and became the alpha mostly due to usage rate, but the numbers were projectable. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Are you comparing a high school recruit vs a guy with 3 years of college evidence of performance? He was projectable the minute he played significant minutes at FAU. Dusty saw the same thing from him in high school. Comer has 3 years of inefficient basketball play at a low level of college hoops. At some point the evidence reveals itself.
