Might’ve missed this discussion but I think there’s a good case that Fran may do pretty well at Penn. Punched above his resources at Iowa, has an eye for less heralded talent, seemed to work well in his region at Iowa, he’s a Penn alum so there could be some fundraising upside, probably a more level playing field with the other Ivies, really prioritizes shooting and it’s likely the athleticism sacrifices he made at Iowa will bite him less there… IDK. Not convinced it’ll work, but also wouldn’t be shocked if they’re competitive and even win the Ivy a couple times before he hangs them up.

Not ignoring your question but they’re also watching uncommitted Dante Allen, right? Not sure if there’s mutual interest.

My guess is he’s your fourth forward behind Tucker DeVries, Transfer Starting 3, and Luke Goode. Others would know better but he seems well suited for that.

Bummed to miss Conwell but there are no shortage of efficient scoring 2s. Not a criticism of him but it’s who you get that matters, not who you miss

IUanon posted about dominoes over the weekend. Feels like Drew Adams and Enright are valuable in their own right but also among the earliest dominoes.

Plus defender at guard, career 36% 3pt shooter. He’s not perfect but he’ll play with like 8 guys at IU better than anyone he had alongside him at DePaul last year. Not sure why anyone feels like disparaging him.

Context matters, Enright was stretched too far on a bad DePaul team. He’s played three years of college basketball and looking at just one — the only one he didn’t play for Darian DeVries — is evaluating him with less than full info for no reason. I don’t expect he’ll be the starter, barring injury, but he’s totally capable of 12-25 minutes that help you win, especially on a team with the other talent that’s visiting

If I recall correctly Elyjah Freeman was committed to LMU, got some D1 offers very late last cycle (like this time or later) and stayed committed to LMU.

Part of it was injury luck, part of it was development, part of it was you don’t get every kid you want. But I’ve been thinking about how they ended up getting so many of wrong Georgia guys. Not that they were bad kids, but that they let familiarity cloud their ability to be objective in evaluations, and then especially that they didn’t scheme to their guys on either end, and failed to do much to develop any of the GA crew.

From WV, too, so they might be included as more than just a favor. WVU folks were very excited about him

Me too and it would follow that they haven’t been too aggressive with any other PGs of that caliber. Could also be explained by “it’s early,” of course I like Enright but you can happily use both.

Well yeah I’m familiar with how that looks

Good rim #s, promising from 3, was 129 on the 247 composite, huge defensive box plus/minus (haven’t seen him nor read a scouting report). I’m intrigued!

I follow some draftniks who really like him but that doesn’t necessarily mean you might only have him for one year. Depends somewhat on what the actual teams see, and on now on how much you can make in school, too. My guess would be he’ll have an option next year and the choice will be dependent on whether he really thinks he’d go higher with another year of school.

My strong hunch is The Crown is probably not keeping too many coaches in their seats. Maybe he finishes Cincy’s season with them, though.
