Magisterium

UK, UConn, and….maybe Michigan?

It may be simplistic but it sounds like Malone (or Humrichous) could provide a lot of the same shooting as Essegian but with more size as well

If Ballo commits does Williams still visit (fwiw he’s got some positional versatility)? and if not maybe Malone or Brea gets the last spot (assuming Carlyle is on board)?

I would’ve expected Bradshaw to wait and maybe follow Cal-didn’t see his quick commit to tOSU coming

Personally I would start Conwell over just about any guard IU has (other than Rice)

I wonder if Ballo and Fland are in contact with each other

If nothing else I’m sure Cal feels he can out-recruit IU for any player he wants. Didn’t Ivisic already commit to follow Cal to Arkansas?

nothing official with IU at this point? for me he’d be at least as big a “get” as Ballo (or Carlyle for that matter)

any info re: Conwell’s scheduled visits?

Almost sounds like a combination of Humrichous and Elijah Malone in some ways

fwiw it looks like UK may have lost another 7-footer to the portal? Gonna be interesting to see how many players follow Cal to Arkansas

Evidently so.

Is Howard still on staff? Thought I read somewhere that he was heading to Ann Arbor to work for Dusty May.

What scares me is the prospect of Woodson running things back next season with another version of his double-post offense and in a mediocre B1G 10 he manages to make it to the tournament. If he does, I fully expect that “success” to be enough to convince the people who actually call the shots on IU basketball to let Woodson stay on as long as he wants.

The B1G 10 may slowly start to adapt in terms of playing style now with May and Musselman joining the conference. Not sure if I see IU being part of that adaptation, however. I expect we’ll know soon enough.

He’s not a “shooter” but is a former IU recruit who’s now in the portal fwiw: Arrinten Page, who I guess would qualify as a rim protector.

I’m not sure why it would have to be either/or with Hickman and Humrichous-two very different players who both are good shooters. IU could really use both, especially in a potential class of so-so shooters like Carlyle, Rice, Walker, etc.

I’d like to think they could bring in 3 guards like Hickman, Carlyle and Rice (or someone like Small as 1of the 3). And perhaps Humrichous (sp?) as the 6th guy, if my arithmetic is right with Tucker added. Bringing in guys like Hickman and Humrichous could go a good ways towards fixing the shooting problems. In theory, anyway. Whether it would actually fix those problems on the court or not would depend on more than just the players involved, at least imho it would.

Maybe “shooting guard” in the NCAA’s tallest lineup

Is the big man IU recruited out there? Arrinten? maybe he’ll consider the portal

IIRC doesn’t Xavier have 1or 2 guys in the portal too? Opening for Foster fwiw

I think Marquette extended Smart through 2029 and conceivably he could have a buyout almost as big as Otzelberger’s

Yeah everything I’ve seen suggests he’ll stay on the Coast or maybe go to Gonzaga

If they’re truly recruiting Carlyle, maybe they should re-recruit Stojakovic and even consider Raynaud

Maybe they can at least get a visit out of Amari Williams (unless he’s been scooped up too)
