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

Transfer Portal w IU Interest

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. -

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.

Transfer Portal w IU Interest

One of the reasons I would like to see at least a few kids return is to see what an offseason of development looks like in this program, under this staff. Do we see players get better, especially the younger players? Can some or all of Dorn Miles Harris get better? I know the current system lends itself to an annual discard/replace/upgrade mode but kids can improve, especially as they are more familiar with the system and development program. I follow Vandy as a second team if you will. Tanner, not highly recruited, came off the bench and played 20 min a game, 6ppg as a frosh. One year later he is all SEC at almost 20ppg. Not suggesting we have someone that can replicate that but we can learn more about this program with how some returnees look next year. -

Be wary of the 4/1 twitter news -
Ha, true. Austin was around some good players as a manager at Westfield as well - Braden Smith, Cam Haffner, Trey Buchanan (Chad’s kid). My guess is Ryan has been friends with Ritchie McKay or developed a relationship with the staff once Austin became a manager there and is pretty in tune with the program. Will be curious if Austin transfers to IU to follow his Dad’s footsteps.

Ryan Carr’s son is a manager for Liberty, so there is some familiarity/connection there.

Noblesville kid, Billy Keller’s grandson I believe. Didnt see him as a HM in HS but kids get better so you never know. Always been a plus athlete and streaky shooter.

Have watched him since he was about 10 playing with Jake Davis and Logan Imes on the AAU circuit as well as thru the Carmel years and he has always been a skilled perimeter kid that grew into a stretch 4. Seemingly would be an ideal shooting/spacing forward off the bench that can guard a little bit in the post. Question is whether his long time family ties to IU win out accepting that role over the chance to start and play more elsewhere such as for Alexander at KSt. My friend knows him and the family and he seems to think he will end up at IU. -
Been calling this one as a real IU possibility for a few months based on the family IU ties but expected role and Alexander to KSt may change his thought process.

Cincy totally gagged the last 2 minutes. 8-0 run for UCF. Still has a chance in OT but just brutal.
-
Huh? Two diff leagues
-
Does Orme unofficially announce for IU today?!
-
Wouldn’t mind seeing this one go into a few OT’s
-
Would also think that Carr has done a fair share of international scouting and would have helpful connections there.
-
Read the 24/7 article on his background and Bird’s comments about what expected from Carr. I would think/hope our staff would want his input on players from an evaluation standpoint, even though it is their final call. Carr has a ton of evaluation experience at the highest level.

Broad Ripple is correct. As a kid watching, he instantly became my favorite player and that is mostly true to this day. New Castle got beat in the night game by Connersville and the Heineman twins. I believe Alford had 33 that night for 90 on the day. Ahhh, semi state weekend of one class basketball…
