    The MVC as a whole seems to transfer pretty well - Domask averaged 16.7 in the MVC and 16.1 this year. Jones averaged 13.8 in the MVC and 12.1 in the B1G this year. Krikke is the only one I can think of that didn't keep his production, but he was the only option at Valpo anyway, he went from 19 pts/game to 13.8.

    Carlyle is not a perfect prospect...he is not an elite three-point shooter (although, 32% on decent volume for a true freshman is not dreadful) and he lacks explosiveness. However, I do think he has multiple things that are appealing:
    1. Production as a true freshman at a major conference program
    2. 13 double-digit scoring games against conference competition, including five of 16 points or more
    3. Excellent FT shooter suggesting there should be an expectation of progress as a perimeter shooter
    4. Not a bad defender
    5. His lack of elite explosiveness or athleticism means there is a real chance he plays 3-4 years in college. If that ends up being the case, he very well could progress into an all-conference guard
    He's not my favorite portal prospect but I can easily see a backcourt of...hypothetically...Carlyle plus Conwell starting with Galloway, Leland Walker, Cupps and Newton being quite successful.

    Any chance he wants to go to Virginia and lead the team in scoring at 9 points per game?

    Of course. But I just think the number of kids who "dream of wearing the candy stripes" (your words not mine) doesn't jive with reality.

    I know that Riensk Mast played there the previous year and averaged 13.8 points, 8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists;  played at Nebraska this past season and put up basically the same numbers (12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3 assists).  So the precedent is there for players transferring from Bradley to the Big Ten without seeing a big drop in numbers.

    He really wasn't a "3pt shooter" at all coming out of HS... he's springy. Very smart. 
    He is absolutely someone we should want.

    I don't know the X's and O's differences between BU and IU, but Wardle's system is very defense-focused also. Pretty likely that that side of the ball is one less thing to worry about with him.

    Not really a point, but I think if he and Galloway were the two backcourt players on the floor together that the ball movement would be fine without a natural point guard.  I'm on record as saying that you don't need a natural point guard as long as you have multiple competent options on the floor.

    Maryland already signed two transfer guards in Ja'Kobi Gillespie (Belmont) and Rodney Rice (Va Tech).  Gillespie is a 6'1" point guard who averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists last year and has two years eligibility left.  Mack to Maryland would make no sense.  They have their point guard for the next two years.  Rice is a shooting guard, but it would seem strange to see Mack want to commit to Maryland after they already brought in two guards including one that fits his position.

    Leading scorer on a 21-12 mid major.  Three year starter.  Not just a three point shooter but is a very, very good perimeter shooter.  Three assists/game when he wasn't the point guard at Bradley is very good.

    He certainly makes sense for IU -- 14.5 ppg and an excellent shooter.  74 of 184 from three this season and not just purely a three point shooter.  Hometown kid?  Put me on board.

    If you are referring to the portal tracker of IU interest from inside the hall, they are only publishing items that a player may have stated publically.  It’s not like once a player enters the portal that it becomes an exact science of knowing every move a player does.
