If he’s 100% he won’t just compete for minutes, he’ll get’em. But, speaking as probably the #1 Newton fan who’s not a family member, it’s tough to roster build based on that assumption.

Let's close the deal!! No more visits!

Next weekend. Not sure if he even has any others scheduled.

Kid's so talented, really hoping he's full go by October

It's an example.
I work for/with a very no-nonsense leader. If that was proposed to him he'd think it was a clear sign of a leader that doesn't trust or command the respect of his/her team. I think so too.

Next weekend. Not sure if he even has any others scheduled.

Mark Few turned down Oregon, UCLA as example. He grew up in the PNW has/had connections and relationships in recruiting ... but ... I read once a big factor is where he lives. It is like a high class hunting lodge with a trout stream running through his property. I did hear an interview a few years ago before IU played them in Indy ?? ... he thought IU fans were overboard crazy. That was just some added info and nothing to do with leaving Gonzaga.
If you have ever lived in the PNW, even as bad as the Spokane area, it's hard to leave ... especially of your property is a high class hunting lodge with a trout stream in back.

Easy one to see. He’s a Gates kind of player.

Tony Perkins commits to Missouri per Rabby

With Rice already in the fold it comes down to who the staff best fits guard wise and how picky they want to be.   I personally would want Carlyle to commit.  He is exactly the type of guard you see on teams that are in the mix for making deep runs.   The more guards you have that can score on all 3 levels the better your team will be.  That leaves you need a threat that can hit from deep.  You then take whichever player of Conwell or Hickman want to be a Hoosier.  The portal is still adding players to it everyday so if neither of those 2 commit you go back in the portal and find a shooter but I would focus on getting Carlyle.   Ballo all day everyday over Payne.  Ballo is ranked the number 1 portal option by many services for a reason.  Back in the day Payne advantage over him would be he has multiple years left however in todays landscape you can’t count on that happening basically every staff needs to treat every player as a 1 year player. Staffs have to recruit their whole team over every year.   Miles having 3 years left is nice but you can only look at it as 1 year at a time 

You’re currently on 5 scholarship guards. I just can’t imagine that Carlyle/Conwell/Hickman isn’t a 1 of situation. Some systems would justify 7 guards. What Woody’s doing with Mgbako on the wing and Tucker getting wing minutes  doesn’t.

Cupps, man. That kid is on the Rushmore of culture pieces.

Myles Rice now following Payne via Instagram.  Only Cupps were following him prior to yesterday

If they plan to do that with Mgbako, then there’s probably an argument there. And what the roster looks like when they get to maybe 11 filled scholarships will probably tip that off. Maybe it’s just because Woody was so hellbent on not matching up that way last year, I just have trouble seeing it.
