Transfer Portal w/IU Interest
rcbowla replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
So do I. Seems he'll be heading wherever Frazier goes. -
Bring Goode for 3, DeVries for 3 on. Those 2 will make B1G coaches question their life choices.

I concede. We should be trying to get 15 5 star 20 ppg 15 apg 12 rpg players. Why would we bother getting anybody that can't provide these stats? We need to put up 300 pts every game after all. Absurd -

I'm the one who made that comparison maybe. My comparison wasn't their play but their value to a team as a role player and their IQ. -

The people hating on Enright I have a question. Have you ever watched him play? Not getting it. Should he be the starting PG? No. Can he be a very valuable rotation piece? Yes. -
If you have Goode and DeVries on the court at the same time with a strong penetrating PG.....good luck defense. That floor spacing would be crazy. Add the fact that DDV would be running stuff for both of these guys to get shots. Yeah I think Goode can fit. His defense could be an issue though I agree.

Wonder if Kevin Overton would be a possibility. Was FR @ Drake DDV's last year there. -
What makes you say that? Not trying to sound snarky.

Not sure your question but he's talking about Tucker DeVries rather than B. Tucker I'm sure. B. Tucker isn't anywhere close while T. DeVries is very possible. -

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this his how every fast food establishment operates 100% of the time lol. That rumor wreaks of BS. -
I mean he was a decent defender (at minimum pest-like) and he has 1 year of sample size. But I also said I don't think he'll be retained either. Just IF one were to be kept Cupps is closer to the profile in that he is similar to Enright.
-
Exactly the 1st thought that went through my mind.
-
And I don't think he'll keep either of them to be clear.
-
Imo Rice does not fit the PG profile for a DDV team. Not strong, not a high IQ and not a great defender. I would say if he keeps a PG from current roster it'd be Cupps. Just MO.

I think it's safe to add: 2. Tucker DeVries F
-
I would tend to believe that IU chose DeVries over him. DeVries had 26 more years of D1 experience, has utilized the transfer portal for big targets and showed the ability to translate from mid-major to P4. I just don't think Dolson wanted McCollum over DeVries.
-
I can't imagine Ostrom would want to come back to Bloomington. I doubt it was a real great experience for him.

Enright is a high IQ PG and an absolute pest defensively. He'll most likely be in the rotation and the kind of player that will be hard to keep out of it....a la Leal. -
2025 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament Discussion

Still not sure how Auburn being the #1 overall was rewarded with playing Creighton/Louisville in 2nd rd. This game has been fun to watch so far. -

I think you will starting next year. DDV's teams, if nothing else, play their ***** off. -
If BU goes to UT could McCollum be more interested in Illinois than Iowa?

Don't disagree at all. I think as a G you need to be an average shooter at minimum unless you are an elite defender, play maker, slasher etc. Different skills on a team are great to have. I think the problem for us the last 8+ years is that we'd only have 1 guy on the team that had the shooting skill. Not winning that way today. Need 3 guys on the court at all times that are legit threats from deep imo and of them 2 that can also slash. -

I heard DDV in an interview with WVU people answer this question. He said when evaluating people that skill is obviously important and preferred. Said they need to be elite at one thing and then he'll teach them the rest. Said he can teach anyone to become a better shooter. I'm paraphrasing obviously but it was close to this. Loved his answer about being "elite" at something. -
I hate every Purdue player that has ever been. If DDV wanted to bring one on staff I'll welcome them. As soon as they walk away though, I be hating again. Too lazy to look for Smokey gif to insert here

Samesies. I was born in 82 so I was too young to really have a good grasp on the '87 team but I was fully invested from '91 on. Greg Graham, Calbert and Damon will always be me childhood heroes.
