Same here, this was just too brutal not to check back in on this thread!

Either way....YIKES! I've never been so ticked off watching a basketball game it has ruined my entire day today!

Like with our football team, we need to go with a "Culture Builder"

NIL Leverage

Agree, but was hoping IU was making this kid a priority!!! Little frustrated over that!

They say he is visiting UConn next I saw on Reddit

Thanks we definitely needed this!

Why is no one mentioning Cade Tyson from Belmont on here? Saw he made the IU portal tracker, but crickets? Now that Hickman is out, this kid is just a Sophomore and hit 46.5% from 3 this year and 42% his Freshman year. Listed as a guard who averaged 16.2/5.9/1.6 this year and started 28/30 games his Freshman year. He’s listed as a guard at 6’7”, but man those numbers are crazy.

Thank you for your service.........ex active duty Air Force here 1991-1998

Different reasons......Newton is coming from a major injury that affects athleticism. Not saying he can't come back in 2 years, but expectations should be tempered. Hoping for him to contribute but his injury was a big one

He's not played in over 2 years......no one comes back from that quickly

Positive vibes....lets hope more shoes drop today.

Dream Scenario: PG - Myles/Canaan/Cupps SG - Conwell/Galloway/Leal SF - MgBako/Tucker/Hickman PF - Reneau/Humrichous C - Ballo/Payne/A. Williams

Yep just added that….lol (the x-factor that Reneau is always in)

Probably even one more big because Reneau or starting 5 could be in foul trouble as well.

Totally agree…..we need at least 2 bigs, one to start at the 5 and a backup for Reneau at the 4

Same here……give me any shooters hitting over that 40% mark from 3’s and 80%+ at the line

He had a child and his kid and family were from the Mizzou area. Wasn’t that the big reason for him leaving IU. I think that is what they said.

I see him as a pesky Aaron Craft type next year thru his senior year

Give me Rice at the point, Conwell or Cade Tyson (Belmont 45.4% from 3 and averaged 16.2 ppg) at the 2. PG - Rice (Portal) SG - Conwell or Tyson (Portal) SF - Mgbako and Tucker (5 star recruit) PF - Reneau C - Payne and/or Williams (Portal) Bench: Galloway, Cupps, Leal, Humrichous (portal) and the D-2 player of year

Good breakdown! Thanks for putting it out there!

Looks like his only campus visits after decommitting from UCF were just UK and us? But I do agree, that Greene County connection with Dusty at Michigan may be in play here. You're right it will definitely be interesting.

Not to mention over his 2 years he is an 85.7% FT shooter

Still not seeing a lot of Cade Tyson the shooter from Belmont on here. Is everyone just assuming he goes to UNC since he's from Monroe, NC? Sophomore 6'7" 205 put up 16.2/5.3/1.3 and has shot 48/115 from 3pt his freshman year, good enough for 41.7% then this year hit 80/172 from 3pt his Sophomore year good enough for 46.5% https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/5107970/cade-tyson

He will probably go to Butler, Purdue, etc. and turn into a Braden Smith knowing our luck with these type of players.
