Probably doesn't because he only believes that we can beat out low and mid majors. Now don't go running to HSN to talk about me, Scotty.

Dude, they were given big money TO STAY. If there was no chance of them leaving, there would have been no need for that. But you do you.

Why does any poster come to BTownbanners when there are other power 5 boards out there?

The NCAA has given players who played in JUCO ball an extra fifth year this year while legisltation is going through. Lamar Wilkerson actually was at a JUCO for two years (one he was hurt, so redshirt) and then played three years at Sam Houston State....without the extra JUCO year granted, his eligibility would be up since he's had four years.

Jahki Howard, Auburn freshman forward. 6'6". Ranked 62nd in the class of 24. Appeared in 21 games, averaged 9.1 minutes, 4.2 points, 1.1 rebounds. In his limited time shot 54/41/67. PIttsburgh redshirt freshman center Papa Kante. 6'10". Ranked 74th in the class of 23. Played in 22 games, 6.9 minutes, 2.1 points.

Jakevion Buckley, 6'1" PG, SE Louisiana. 14.1 pts, 4.6 reb, 4.1 assists, 1.8 steals. 46/28/74.

Josiah Moseley, Villanova, undersized PF 6'6". Freshman. Ranked 74th in the class of 24. Was in the back end of Villanova's rotation, played 30 games, 10.2 minutes, 1.9 pts, 2.3 reb. Solid player: Jamir Watkins, 6'7" wing, Florida State. 18.4 pts, 5.7 reb, 2.4 asst. 42/32/75. Amier Ali, Arizona State, 6'8" SF, freshman. Ranked 99th in class of 24. 19 mpg, 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds. Bulk three point shooter. 37/33/72.

Problem is that he moves like he' 6'11" with arthritis. Will be interesting to see wherever he lands if a new coach can fix his defensive issues.

I like him as a rebounding presence + strong finisher at the rim. From the free throw line.....he's an adventure.

Interesting IMO that Mgbako, Tucker, and Carlyle have not signed anywhere yet. Obviously not coming back to IU but I would have thought that Mgbako and Tucker would be zeroing in on places. I know Mgbako visited Kentucky but that was a little while ago.

Pop Isaacs to Houston

Notice that Bernie Blunt played in 2021-22 and then didn't play again until 2024-25? Wonder what he did with his time off. Anyway, IU doesn't need a guy that will go 4 of 20 from the field.

Texas Tech is elite? Is that why they had to up their assistant's pay in order to keep him from going to lowly Indiana?

In other words, Buzz Williams is a guy who doesn't fit your pigeonholed view of the world and therefore doesn't count.

Currently they still all-world name team member Jizzle James.

It's not just that it sucks, it's at a stupid time. There is no reason the portal has to open as early as it does.....just push it back until after the final four and then have no dead period.

Kris Parker, Villanova freshman, 6'9" wing. 10 mpg, 2.6 points. Originally a redshirt at Alabama and then transferred to Villanova. Mike Sharavjamts on the move again. Freshman year at Dayton, sophomore year at San Francisco, junior year at Utah. IU pursued him two years ago. 6'9" wing. over three seasons has averaged 23.5 mpg, 6.9 ppg, 2.8 reb, and 2.7 assists. 41/33/70 shooter. Scotty Middleton, 6'7" sophomore forward. Played his freshman year at Ohio State and his sophomore year at Seton Hall. Over two years averaged 18.1 mpg, 5.1 ppg. Good three point shooter, has made 56 of 135 threes (41.5%).

He did say that was what he thinks, not knows. And that was way back on March 30th.....what is the point of rehashing it?

Wasn't that long ago that Musselman left Arkansas for USC. I wouldn't say that Maryland was that big of an upgrade for Buzz Williams. A&M has money. Might not be a basketball centric school, but Maryland hasn't had that much in terms of resources -- which is why Willard left (he was also left off the list of P5 transfers -- Maryland to Villanova).

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Quaintance tore his ACL in March so I wouldn't be surprised if they eased him into action at the beginning of the year.

Of the Cincy players that recently entered, the one I'm highest on is still Dan Skillings. But with Arrienton Page having two years eligibility, even with him not leaving up to his potential yet he'd be a decent get.

I 100% doubt that.

The more I think about it, the more Dan Skillings from Cincinnati would make sense if Drew Adams could aid in that. Decent defender and okay scorer. Had a pretty good sophomore year. Last year the injury issue brought down his numbers.

Briscoe has a visit to Kent State and is working on setting up visits to Duquesne and College of Charleston. Looks like his level of offers is lowering since he decommited from Iowa.
