Transfer Portal w IU Interest
JimmerNoe replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Oh I totally agree. I am just going with what we would have currently if those two guys committed. I think Goode and Enright as first two off the bench means that we are in very good shape and got the guys we are all wanting from a talent perspective. -

Would immediately change the tenor of the offseason. Would give us: PG: Sun Belt POY (Conerway) SG: 1st Team All-Conference (Wilkerson) SF: Proven Big 10 shooter (Goode*) PF: MVC POY (Devries) C: 1st Team All-Conference (Bailey) that ain’t bad for all the hand wringing. -

I’m not here to choose one or the other, but I earned my Bachelors at UK and currently live in Lexington (I know I know). Keeneland spring meet with thousands of southern co-eds in the tailgate lot in sundresses and cowboy boots is incredible. If the weather is right (and it is today), Keeneland is hard to beat. When you take away the girls and the drinking, Keeneland is kinda meh for me. With that being said, I don’t know of any big college events going on there today and I stay pretty plugged in around campus with my fraternity. So I don’t really know how much appeal it would have for a guy like Wilkerson today. -

A small Kenny Johnson story: I lived in Louisville for med school while he was getting fired by Pitino and caught in the scandal. I was behind him in line at an BBQ place and introduced myself, thanked him for his time at IU. He asked me to come with him to his car as he took his food out to go and had a trunk full of boxes as he was literally cleaning out his office. Handed me three different autographed pictures of Victor Oladipo and shook my hand. Gave one to my Grandpa and have two downstairs hanging in my man cave. Love this hire. He’s a great dude.

I always thought he looked really stiff and awkward. Like his arms don’t even hang at his sides comfortably looking. Also I thought this year he developed a really mean streak and not in a good way. Always in the mix chirping or bumping/shoving when it’s absolutely unnecessary. -

Kentucky is still looking for a shooter too. It makes me feel validated that UK looked at him and passed. How that guy maintained a five star ranking with no one realizing what a dud he was is beyond me. -

Just read it as well, very nicely written and needed for the board as a whole to read -

I have received a DM from an esteemed member of our group that it is my duty, and only I have this power, to redirect you fools back to the crisis that is our lack of portal star power. I have it on good authority that Flory’s DG girlfriend is transferring to Auburn Kappa Delta after some big NIL offers. Think this points him directly down south to Auburn to play for the shirtless orange man. thank you for the bat signal, @Certified Sunshine Pumper -

I think a lot of this will depend on how the portal develops over the next few weeks. There is no guarantee of who will or won’t be in the portal later. Last year there were quite a few guys who got in the portal late, and when you are still sitting on a pile of money that might be a good place to be. However this year a friend and I were just saying that the portal feels different. The big rev share balloon that schools are getting might make it easier to bump up existing NIL contracts and keep the really good kids that would normally seek greener pastures. time will tell but I do think this will be the first time in a long time we have a great likelihood of overperforming the parts we assemble. -
One thing that i find interesting is that we haven’t heard a different name yet. I think that bodes well for Murphy. If we had heard he was staying in Alabama or even if there was a risk we weren’t going to get him, you would think there’d be some alternate names floating around.

I did not realize what Flory’s stats looked like for the games KJ Adams was hurt. Get him a summer in the gym and he might be the most important piece of the puzzle. I think he’s maybe one that I would overpay for just based on his ceiling. If we are going to shoot a lot of threes and try to play faster, having a high flying, dunking, shot blocking big is so key to capitalize on the perimeter gravity. -

If we somehow add Dix we would have to be top 2-3 and then people would need to start complaining that we still have too many open bench spots and Devries isn’t talking to enough players to fill them. I would expect us to take another 2 high school guys or so, which still leaves like 7-8 more slots to fill from the portal. Insanity. -

I have to say, I would be more excited for Conwell, but having dynamic perimeter players who can shoot the p*ss out of the ball is probably my favorite thing about modern basketball and I can’t wait to have it again. -

I would like to take this moment to acknowledge that if this was another dude in the same rank range as Tucker we would all be going nuts that we just got a top 10ish portal dude. So let’s act accordingly!!! let’s go! Excited to see some crazy in-motion threes being launched from this guy. Tired of our only good looks being 10 set shots for the last few years and he should fix that. -

This is an important list for all of us to keep in mind. I have a feeling if we had Louisville or UK’s transfer classes last year we would all be very underwhelmed and skeptical.
