more like 5'10" and 230lbs+, jk I am 5'10" but i don't weigh that much yet

Agree. 
Buuuuut one more caveat-- he has to be able to beat Durr in a foot race. 

I will say... 
Rice/Gallo/Cupps
KC/Leal/Newton
MM/Tucker
MR/Goode
Ballo/.... 
I'd go (big guy, big guy) to round out this roster if you do in fact get Goode. Leal, Newton, Cupps are non-rotational guards/perimeter guys is more than enough. 
Maybe you go with this kid, who does have some skill, and then get a defensive 5, too. I'm probably pro- that route.

Pringle-- no chance 
Wague is a beef...

I just can't believe "love of the university" is on the list needed for us to be successful. Can't take that seriously.

Yea this died for me a long time ago, guys can learn to love the university once they are here. Pay them and get them in the door. I don't love the current iteration of college sports, but it is here to stay so I want IU swimming in the deep end with the schools you mentioned. 

Maybe Walsh following him is a tell. Watching this little bit he shows a big body, physicality, ok post footwork and finishing with both hands. But, man, watch his lateral movement and tell me who he defends. Would like to see some games to see how exploitable he was. I’m with Btownqb in wanting a defensive presence at the rim and he doesn’t look like that at all. But a physical, skilled, experienced big who understands his role would always find a way to help. If this turns out to be the kid they want there’s logic to it.

This one will become more common in today college basketball.    Kansas just lost one yesterday and St Mary’s lost one the day before.  Combination of things now will make it more common.   Kid getting mad the team is looking in the portal, some back channeling and kid finds out he can make more money, kid didn’t like direction of program and opted to look elsewhere.    You kids telling staffs they are committed to coming back and make a graphic to tell true fans they are coming back just to turn around and a few weeks later enter the portal 

Can't consider him a bad option, high level rebounder, I still prefer a better rim protector.

You laid out an excellent summary of the positive and negative possibilities.
The reality will be that many of both the positives and negatives will appear on given days in varying degrees.
That’s why it’s so interesting!

I love both "Pringles" AND "Beef".... lol 

The catch and shoot numbers for KC are certainly exciting since paired with Gallo and Rice he won't have to be creating his own shot as much as at Stanford. I watched some tape and their offense was horrendous (Silva transferred before the season so I think they were thin at PG). He was forced into the dribbling into long twos we all hate due to how stagnant it was. Hopefully surrounded by other ball handlers we can really see him blossom. 

Is the bold sarcasm?

Big fan. Watched my HS beat them in the final 4. 
She can play, though. She was in shambles after the game, I respected it. It meant something to her. 

Scale that season 1-10

I am with you on Jones, he didn't do much for me. 
Candidly, I assumed he would take a step-down and go MWC to build up his value.

also @Coach Robby says we're getting an OL transfer from Louisville. Luke Burgess anyone? 

Goode on campus Thurs and Fri!! 

Probably an 8 give or take .5 because of the B10 title ... FF a 9, NC a 10.
I don't love 1-10 scales though I'm bad at math lol
