Smart move by Adams. Would’ve seen the court less than Nowell this year.

Haha. Curious how he will translate from D2... Won't be torn up if we miss him, but do think we need another quality wing.

@Stuhoo would welcome your informed opinion on if the bold were to materialize?

Thanks for pointing that out, guess the commentary I read was inaccurate! Lol

Not sure if there's a possibility with IU (doubtful I guess) but this guy looks interesting: Sam Alexis 6'8 240 - rising senior. Played on the Championship Gators but in a very limited role. 24 GP averaged about 12 mins and 4.7 pts, 3.5 rebs on 46.5 FG%. In 23-24 at UT Chattanooga: 27 mins per game 10.8pts, 9.1 rebs, 2.1 blocks in 23-24, All-SoCon (3rd team) and Defensive Team. As a freshman, only played ~12 mins. Hasn't played a ton of minutes in his career but coming from a championship locker room. Looks like he could provide good rim protection and offensive rebounding - 76th percentile in put backs. Looks like UNC / Bama and others are involved.

Thanks for the updates. Really appreciate it. Any indication on Freeman or we thinking that ship has sailed?

Lol a federal judge in NJ? Sounds like “a friend of mine” is making somebody an offer they can’t refuse…

Interesting that there's Curtis smoke, considering he visited under previous staff so has some familiarity with the school already, could see things moving quickly if the money and pitch is right. If it happens, kind of makes you notice how many kids viewed Woodson as a negative for an otherwise attractive IU. A few off the top of my head... Curtis (if it happens), Sisley - basically committed knowing Woody wouldn't be his coach. McNeeley - committed to IU but never came because of Woody's system. Fland - chose Calipari over Woody (who can blame him). IU seems to make good on their money promises to players. That instantly makes it a pretty attractive spot for talented players. Plug in a competent coach who can show he is capable of winning here, and it's easy to see IUBB rolling in this new era of CBB.

I’d prefer to see Bryson go elsewhere tbh

Every kid is different! And we are working with extremely limited information about all of them, really. At the end of the day, good for those guys when things work out at their next place, but I’m not much interested in following their journey after they’ve left IU in most transfer cases.

I have it on pretty good authority there’s no love lost between Mgbako and Woodson which I do think affected his effort especially toward the end of the year. I’m sure he sees A) a big bag, knowing college deals may be as good as it gets for him B) sees himself in a star role on a relatively long leash with a new coach in P5. I figure Bucky is happy to take a lotto ticket on Mgbako in year 1. I think he will do better at his next stop like Gunn, Bates and Banks. Some of those guys were thought to have attitude / motor / selfish problems but have done just fine for themselves. Not saying he will be a world beater by any means for the record.

Their tears are delicious and will be even sweeter when Wilkerson helps us hand them a big L this year.

Checking in from Vietnam. Did we get our next guy yet? How exciting. Cheers.

Osterman said not for another few weeks is his understanding

Could be proven dead wrong, but Xaivian Lee to UF gives me Mahaney on UConn vibes…
