I was going to post something along these lines yesterday but stopped myself because I didn’t want to dampen the good moods of the board. Getting Sherrell if it happens goes a long way to legitimize the roster but we are outside looking in at the top 25 still. And probably by the end.

Any truth to Sherrell being on Louisville campus today?

His hands looked so so to me on the video. BUT his level of compete stood out. Seemed very fiery, and we all know I love a Dawg. Seems like pretty much a dunker offensively. A good screener. This feels like a smart addition!

On watch……

Well ain’t that something. I’ve got a lot ofnresearch to do tonight. Can’t teach 7’2”. Really want Sherrell though. Also like the Colorado kid. Those 3 in the front court seems nice. Was getting my hopes up for Reibe/or Tilller. That’s gone now unless Sherrell doesnt come through.

I definitely think so. Was just commenting on USC getting good talent. Miami is doing the same but maybe slightly better.

USC is going to have a very talented roster. Getting them to win is a whole other thing. But talent level will be high at USC.

Will be interesting to see where our guys end up. With Cupps recently to UIC Harris, Miles, Dorn, Ristic, Acinomivic, Drake. Not sure If im missing anyone but this alone will be interesting.

I’m closer to this but you have to try to get some stability, at least a little bit. I think 3 freshman and 3 portal seems like about the realistic. Turnover to expect. Or 6 spots however you slice them up.

I tend to agree. But 80 divided by 3 is a solid number. 26-27 minutes per player. If you are always playing 2 at the 4-5 the minutes would be about right. A bit of a tough sell though. Because they all want to start at that level.

Isn’t that something.

Makes perfect sense. Probably the right level.

Really?

With Kwame Evans. Not a bad run in the TP.

Could argue we need 2 bPGs and 2 bigs. An injury to a PG is brutal. Sisley can play the 4 in spurts.

I mean if we are being greedy we need 10 that can play. Sisley is one. I think My man Prince can play. I don’t think Karvala or Manhertz are gonna be ready but who really knows. We’ve added 3. Maybe 4. Plus 2. That could be 6. We need 4 more than can play, imo, and that’s counting Sherrill. 2 need to be bigs (Reibe/?) 1 bPG, and 1 shooter (jake Hall/Khamenia). I know it seems greedy but look at some of the rosters. It isn’t preposterous at all.

I actually wouldn’t hate the addition as 8-10 Guy. Seems like he could be in that Humrichhous Mold but as a starter it’s just too risky. Type of guy that you get as the 8-10 and maybe he plays himself into more time. That would be fine.

I love Tiller. He would bring a dimension we’ve not had at Indiana for a long time. Reibe is a easy take too. He’s underrated. I think he’s gonna break out.

Sherrill would be a huge addition that lifts us a bunch. As it stands now, we are improved. By a fair amount. Conerway/Enright vs Burton isn’t close. Wilkerson vs Harris— Likely,Wilkerson much much better and effective. Still concerned about SG. Mustaf vs Dorn- Mustaf gives us so much more. Everything besides the shooting. Big advantage here. Sherrill vs our Centers? Not a good comparison on impact. Vastly improved. I think even with Sherrill we need 2 more big pieces to feel really good. But the vibes are high.

Fair, but my second paragraph discusses overpaying. I had a gut feeling with the Carr hire we might be willing to overpay. Tyme and I have been talking and he said the 12 million reported budget wasn’t really a thing. Said money was there if we could get the right guys. That boosted my confidence but until you see proof, it’s a wait and see approach. The Wendy’s 4 for 4 will be the proof.

It’s been pain……. lol. Just wanted us to act like top program or fold it in. I’m fine not getting the biggest of stars but no reason with our budget we shouldn’t be swaggy and splashalicious at least a little bit. It’s part of the ride.

Never Too late. But wanted this type of action last season. It was painful from beginning to end. Could never muster any enthusiasm for that roster despite some really nice kids.

Sure seemed like a done deal. Was told it was a done deal. Was the back off on our end or just that he got offered more? Strange one.

Alright alright alright. This is Indiana acting like a big bully. #ballingonabudget is now #ballingonabigbudget. Mustaf is flat intriguing. Harris is a value pick up. Burton is a dude. And if we get Sherrill that’s a boss move. I love Tiller/Reibe as options. Love them both. Let’s get 1. Then I like Khamenia a ton for this roster. Not sure if that has any legs but we don’t seem to be done yet on higher ranked guys. Happy guy today, especially if the Sherrill news is legit.

If we get his teammate Khamenia this one is even better. lol. Definitely seems like a risky move here. Love the upside, but I have no idea how they have any idea in what they are getting here. There isn’t any tape to grind, besides basically HS stuff. If the shooting is that pure, this current roster build needs that badly and he will carve out his role nicely. This is a type of move that doesn’t move the needle in the offseason but could pay dividends. I have no idea what to expect. 6’5” shooter though. And Virginia wanted him and that coach knows his stuff, so that builds confidence.
