Haven’t watched Branham live but have seen plenty of highlights and his stats against good competition and there is a lot to like. Looks like a possible McDAA and a kid that could help IU from the jump. That said, I’m way past taking much of Rabby’s player evals serious. He gets so biased with certain players and just often sounds like he’s making excuses for when they don’t play well. His evals and commentary on Lander, Cupps and Booker to name a few were borderline ridiculous if not embarrassing. And partly why I jumped off that site. If Trevor has things to say, I’m all ears. He is an evaluator. Rabjohns is a journalist. Anyway, looking forward to seeing more about Branham’s play this spring and summer.

Playing Sherrell at the 4 will come with some defensive issues against teams with stretch bigs. Plenty of tape on him in drop coverage and slow to shooters. Think Race Thompson trying to cover the perimeter…May see Sisley more in those games and AS more in the 5 role Offensive arsenal and rim protection though are upper level and much needed in the front court.

Anybody have access to advanced player metrics that would be willing to share? Curious to see the individual defensive efficiency type metrics on the signees. Pretty obvious most have been productive offensively at the P4 level. Can they keep guys out of the paint? Can they rim protect? Any defensive numbers out there?

Prince-Alexander, goes by Alex. yeah, it takes a minute to get used to.

Is KJ the connection here? Maybe a mentor role

Wasn’t Mustaf asking for more than IU was willing to pay at that time/his Dad (former NBA guy) wanted PT guarantees or something along those lines?

Is there a function on this site that allows us to ignore a poster? Please help. My teenage daughter does less whining.

$8mm on a big 3 $2mm on other two starters $4mm on remaining 7-8 Feasible?

I asked my son, a UT student, if missing too many bunnies was Estrella’s biggest issue. He said, yes that and too many nights out on the town…

Will never forget when Sam Vecencie had him as a projected lottery pick the first month of his freshman year at Providence. Just a laughably poor evaluation.

5. Active rebounder on both ends, blocks shots. TN bigs missed a lot of shots at the rim, I assume Estrella was part of that but I haven’t seen the advanced stats.

Thanks. I’ve watched them enough to form an opinion, was just curious if he played well today. He played pretty well the previous two games.

How did Karvala play?

Sounds like he is planning to take another IU visit. Relationship with Clark is strong

And before the portal opens!! edit: grad transfer so allowable.
