Davin Cosby, Wake Forest guard. Two years of eligibility left. 4 start out of high school, played at Alabama as a freshman. Has not played that well in college compared to his rating. 90% of his shots have been from three and he has made 48 of 147 over two years (33%). Elijah Moore, Syracuse guard. Freshman 4 star, still three years of eligibility left. Started 16 games for Syracuse. Averaged 15.7 minutes, 5.2 points, 1.5 reb, 1.0 assists. Shot 39/31/75.

Per Evan Miya's stats: Conor Enright was DePaul's second most efficient player and the Blue Demons and in terms of +/- they were 4.5 points/40 minutes better with him on the court than off (this was also second on the team).

Hey Coach Hurley....

Just for some perspective: Nico Medved went 17-17 in his sole season at Drake. He was immediately followed by DeVries who averaged a 25-9 record over the next six years.

Tyrell Ward, LSU 6'6" guard. In 22 minutes per game averaged 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists. Good three point shooter, was 52 of 126 (41%) for the year.

Go back and find USPS’s post on how good he is defensively.

Gotta give Gottlieb credit or he'll take it anyway.

$5 to the first guy who can get 'Chris Beard to Texas' trending on X.

I'd call it 'The Robert Vaden'.

Personally, I think most/all that hit the portal are gone. They don't seem to be a fit for the system -- with Fran it was push pace, shoot threes, not play a lick of defense.

Amir Khan has announced he's following Will Wade to North Carolina State as a graduate assistant manager. We are now in the day where student managers get recruited.

FWIW, I am going to be posting guys I think are capable of filling out a power 5 roster, whether it is at IU or elsewhere and whether it's a starter or end of the rotation guy. I'm not suggesting any guy is a fit for IU...there is a separate thread for IU interest.

Could be filling out pretty much a whole roster so you'll need guys like this -- looks like a guy who can contribute down the road if not immediately.

Who is CC?

Jalil Bethea, Miami (F) entering the portal. Freshman shooting guard was Miami's highest rated recruit ever (7th in the class of 2024). Played 19 minutes per game, averaged 7.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists. Shot 37/33/82.

How about this one.....Coaching Changes alluding to the possibility that Shaka Smart could be headed to.....South Florida. I know that Smart has lately been open about being tired of dealing with player agents, but man would him going to South Florida would be a real Shaka.

I 100% believe that Woodson promised Miller Kopp a starting position.

Maybe he wants to leave now so that he can drink caffeine again.

One thing DeVries stated in the opening press conference was he does promise things that he wouldn't follow through on. Just from his demeanor he seems more in the camp of telling kids that 'this is where he seems them helping the team out' as opposed to promising minutes/starting positions.

Link it or it's just hearsay. If DeVries wants him, bring him.
