You must be applying memory space based on his performance. If so, that makes sense.

Another international depth addition: https://swimswam.com/indiana-university-bloomington-gains-commit-from-utkarsh-patil-2023/

Gets asked about LSU and replies with Murray State. Tell they don't have a chance without telling me they don't have a chance: LSU: "Murray State was my first offer. I have always had a relationship with their staff. They recruit me hard based on how I play on the defensive end."

At this point, there's not much that IU football should have a priority over.

I didn't realize that Gladness had passed away. That family has had a rough time.

I think his only high major offer was from Northwestern.

That would usually be enough to make me not want him since Miller was not very good at evaluating talent and fit. I do trust this coaching staff more, though.

Then he'll be available in a year.

The OU reply I saw said that Porter Moser has been recruiting him since 8th grade. I find that hard to believe since Moser would've still been at Loyola at that time and didn't end up at OU until after McNeeley's freshman season. I doubt Moser thought he could get him to go to Loyola.

I don't think he's NBA caliber so more likely the latter than the former.

Reeves and it isn't even close.

Ray J Dennis announces he's going to Baylor instead of UI. I love it.

That has to be correct. The ACC is struggling to stay together (8 teams have or recently had an interest in leaving. When that's the case, looking to expand wouldn't make sense.

Probably a better bench, too. Kansas is the clear #1 entering next season.

Highly ranked, yes, but I don't see them overtaking Kansas to get to #1 in the initial polls.

He's a guard? 247 and sports reference have him listed as a forward which is why I was confused.

I haven't seen him play but looking at his numbers there are a couple of things that confuse me: 1) Why he announced for the NBA draft in the first place 2) Why IU is a possibility for him at this point. He doesn't fill a need.

Booker finished at #14. Wasn't he up in the top 5 about a year ago?

Oh yes, he was quite highly rated and was a burger boy. I don't really remember but I think he was a better scorer in HS than he was his first few years at IU but he came in as a lockdown defender.

Not looking for his own shot much was sometimes problematic last year as there weren't many on the team who did. TJD and JHS were the main two who were willing to shoot and could score. Reneau also looked to score when he got the ball, sometimes too much were I hope he becomes a more willing passer. Outside of that, no one really did, unless you want to count Gunn who liked to shoot when he was in the game but couldn't hit. Next season IU will have XJ who can score or pass as needed, Mgbako whom I assume will look to score, and Reneau (see above). Ware averaged about 1 shot every 3 minutes of play while TJD averaged 1 shot about every 4 minutes of play so it looks like he is another who will be looking to score. So that is 4 players who will (or at least can) who will be looking to shoot and score. So it might not be a bad thing to have 1 starter who does a lot of things without feeling the need to get shots. That said, I would still like to have someone that averages around double digits in that position. Maybe that can be Galloway, maybe not.

Could Gunn bypass Galloway and possibly another guard brought in via the portal to start next year? Sure, it's possible but the probably if him improving that much is so small that it's realistically zero percent. He would need massive improvements in all aspects of his game just to catch Galloway but he's need even more than that to make up fire Galloway's greater experience.

It doesn't take being able to see the future to prognosticate that Gunn won't start next year. As for the second sentence, what did Gunn do better than Galloway or do you agree with that assessment?

Excellent point with #2, I hadn't even thought of that. #1 is what I was looking at. Since they were games at the end of the season, I highly doubt he gets the waiver.

Another IU offseason/practice sharp shooter! He certainly has the potential though, I just hope he can do it in games. Probably because the coaching staff is restricted in how much time they can spend coaching him, especially in the offseason.

Even if he played only 2 games, it sounds like they were at the wrong time of the year. His coach didn't do him any favors by playing him instead of just sitting him. I'd be surprised if he's granted the waiver based on this. If he does get that waiver, he sounds like he'd be an excellent addition.
