Agree. Will see what the rest of the B1G/country does with their rosters but at minimum this is a top 20 team.

Just speculating... Rice, Carlyle*, Mgbako, Reneau, Ballo, Galloway, Tucker, Humrichous*

I live in Evansville and I'll be honest I haven't watched a lot of Aces basketball. I just know their fans were upset to lose him. Really good shooter. Just a guess Carlyle and Humrichous are our top 2 realistic options right now. After that the majority of your roster is set.

I don't think so. Likely a spot for him to step up as a sophomore.

I think Rabjohns hinted at this in chat or something.

Would be nice to focus on role players in mid April. Last year we took this all the way into May.

No. Rabjohns thinks it may take time to play out since he wants to play professionally. Sounds like IU and Illinois. He seems to be okay with coming off the bench, which would have to be his role here.

Let's add Carlyle and Humrichous and we roll. All will come down to how well these guys fit together and how far this staff can take them. I'll be happy to eat crow about them.

boom

Yeah this ranks up there for sure. Glad I had testing and didn't miss out.

I think so. What a crazy last hour.

If I remember right Ware was supposed to visit Alabama. He ended up not going. Hope this is the same here. I don't want him anywhere near Cal.

I hope his Arkansas visit is today. lol

Yeah I went from feeling 100% after Rabby's hint to now being uncertain.

Have to be careful with what all I say but there was a very strong hint he posted at first. Then all of a sudden said he is visiting Arkansas but many feel IU is still in strong shape.

Yeah I'm kind of confused on what is going on now...There was a strong hint and then all of a sudden this.

haha portal season is usually testing season here. I just work on paperwork and refresh the boards.

Guys I think this one is over lol

Malone is someone I'd like to get regardless. Seems like a solid option as a backup 5.

He is coming on Friday. Would assume he commits by Sunday. I don't know if he has any other visits lined up or not.

Agree with you both. If they happen to sign while Ballo takes his time, fine by me. I just want as much talent as possible on this team for next year. They can figure out rotations once the seasons starts. Kind of reminded me when we bought our new home. They didn't want to respond to any offers until a certain date. We gave them an offer that expired two days later. Take it or leave it. We got the home in the end lol.

I don't blame Ballo one bit for taking other visits. Why not? He isn't going to be a high NBA draft pick. Probably his last chance at a large pay day.

Hoosier's Connect responded. That's just as good as anything else.

This makes sense for them. I'm seeing a lot of schools part ways with 5th year guys (or vice versa). They prefer the younger guys/transfers. Purdue did it with Gillis. Kaufman-Renn or transfers will see more minutes. UConn with Sanogo last year in favor of Clingan. Galloway will see plenty of time this next year but I'm sure his minutes/production will decrease.

I think Arizona is high on their backup, Krivas. He was the top international prospect last year.
