I think two things to consider here…hype and height. Lively was rated number 1 in his class for whatever reason. He is getting drafted on what could be…I mean he avg 5 pts and 5 rebs on a Duke team that wasn’t as good as some of their previous teams….. The other factor is Lively is 7’1”….if TJD WAS 7’1” instead of 6’9” he would have went earlier. Part of TJDs issue (NBAs eyes) is he would be an all-world center but he is in a PF body… I love where TJD ended up too….he could shock the world there! I would also show them Adam Sonogo, Azoulis Tubelis, Drew Timme, and Oscar Tshiebwe didn’t get drafted from better teams from this year….

McKinney at 6’2 1/2” but 230 lbs as a sophomore is crazy…he’s a horse. If he lived in rural Indiana they’d say “he could eat hay with a pitchfork”

Would have enjoyed an IU question…lol

My guess is more of the NIL money is filtering to their football team.

I mean only one team did he talk about play style and the fact their coach put the ball in the players hands and told them to go...the other was just the customary, "Well they text me and see how I'm doing. They tell me what to work on."

I would love to see him go to ISU..i think Schwartz is doing an excellent job there. He doing well with the transfer game, but if he could get a 4 year kid who’s local…to replace Cooper Neese (who was local and transferred in from Butler) it would be awesome. If Joey has his eyes set on Power 5, I’d completely understand it but it would be nice to watch him in Terre Haute!

He could provide the spark we always hoped Geronimo would...

this could be nothing but this is the guy who takes pictures of the recruits when they’re on campus sometimes.

Still skinny lol anyway you slice it…I graduated at 6’3” 190lbs and was thin…solid for sure we had a good weight program but I guess I was heavy compared to kids nowadays lol

Newton will depend on health…Cupps I think absolutely will…not downgrading Braden Smith but if he can impact as a freshman Cupps certainly can….maybe outside of strength I think Cupps is better at all facets of the game

Maybe they are hearing that Auburn is going to rely on the portal a lot, thus diminishing their role upon arrival..

Girard I’m assuming

Its best to watch the highlight video with the music muted....I must be getting old, that was terrible lol

Tipton just stated the teams that reached out on Twitter....Indiana was one of them.

Mentions talking to Maleek Thimas about playing together and Koa Peat….both guys we’ve recruited to a certain extent anyways…

What about Ware? I saw people saying he wanted to talk to us, but haven’t seen where that came from.

He may be what we need….I feel like we have people who are to reluctant to shoot at times…he’s also a guy you can say, “ hey go get me a bucket” and he can do that….I’d be on board, but I understand he isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I just think Woody is the type of coach than can harness him for the good.

Don’t know if this is reputable…

I'd even be okay with him as a starting 4...can play inside and out...post up or space and hit the 3. He would have been so nice to have next to TJD

Did anyone else see where Antoine Davis says he feels "cheated" that he didn't get one more game to break the scoring record....what a clown. Your team was 14-18, you don't deserve a postseason tournament of any kind. He also played two more season than Marovich...I just couldn't believe when I heard him say he was "cheated"..

I meant many people on this board, not the staff necessarily

I know we wanted Coen Carr but this kid could be a Coen Carr with 2 season under his belt....

I would put him pretty high on my list so far....nice high release, so his shot really plays bigger than 6'4" (he can get it off over taller defenders because of the high release). It is also very repeatable, no weird hitches in it, very smooth. If we got him and Ledlum, that would be huge...obviously a long way to go on both and there will be a lot of interest so we would do well to get one, let alone both.
