Will be shocked if Benter plays more than 10 minutes a game next year, especially if they sign this transfer from Northeastern. I get it though, you're a Brownstown guy needing to defend his own.

Can't say that I've watched Benter as he wasn't good enough to crack their rotation and subsequently redshirted. The same rotation that Colvin could barely crack.

Fun offensive lineup, but one ball for Pack, Conwell, Dix, and DeVries could be problematic. Pack might be one of the worst defenders in college basketball. Pack, Conwell, and an elite wing defender with Flory protecting the rim would be a better alternative.

Again, why do you assume all that? Iowa had a coaching change, it’s customary for a recruit to re-open his commitment in these kinds of situations. Every time I’ve seen this kid play he’s very active with an extremely high motor. He’s a plus athlete to boot. Could be a very nice player for somebody at this level one of these days if he develops.

Again, why do you say that? I'm not sure Briscoe is in the position to hold out for the most money. I think Coach DeVries and Drew Adams attending the 3A final at least suggests they are interested in Briscoe. He's an Indiana Elite player who was offered previously by DeVries at West Virginia.

McKneely isn't considering IU

TDV needs an exemption to play this year. Conwell and Dix are same class.

All three have one more year left.

Ok? I'm not fighting with you lol. Not sure why you take everything as a slight

Nothing? Providing context and insight to each players skillset. McKneely is an elite 3 point shooter, but there's not much else to his game offensively. Dix and Conwell can both shoot and put the ball on the floor. IF you could only choose two between Dix, Conwell, and McKneely...give me the two former all day every day. I don't think McKneely is even considering IU at the moment so it's moot anyways.

attempts at the rim 2025 McKneely: 20-44 45% Dix: 66-93 70% Conwell: 73-120 61% McKneely doesn't do anything but shoot 3's.

McKneely is almost exclusively catch and shoot. Conwell and Dix can both dribble and both can get to the rim. Conwell can handle the ball, he's a combo guard.

Not many people are going to like this but I believe this is precisely why DeVries is recruiting Enright.

The guy averaged less than one trip to the line a game. His FT% is far overshadowed by his ability to defend, clean the glass, and protect the rim. Yes, crying about FT% in this context is trivial. It was so problematic for Auburn that they went 32-5, earned the #1 overall seed and playing in the F4 next week despite Cardwell starting all 37 games. Good grief.

For a guy who barely averages a FT attempt a game? Yes absolutely.

Yeah. The wall who is a defensive anchor on a team about to be in the F4. Why do so many people look at some of the most trivial things?

Kevin Overton was at Drake and played a key role in Texas Tech’s E8 run. Liam Robbins started out at Drake before eventually transferring to Vanderbilt via Minnesota eventually becoming an all SEC player while getting some run in the NBA. 3/5 of this years All-America team started their careers at Iona, Morehead St, and Ohio. Guys get misevaluated out of high school all the time.

Buried pages back but I think he’s the most intriguing player in the portal. He got hurt/missed some games at the end of the year and SDSU was never the same. He seems to be linked to Michigan which would be unfortunate but he’s already a very good player who hasn’t even come close to hitting his ceiling.

I don’t care who is on the court when the ball is tipped. However, Enright isn’t coming to IU to play 5-8 mpg either.

Agree. Like the idea of a Nowell/Enright tandem. Get a high ceiling player like Nowell with multiple years of eligibility left to ease his way into minutes.

Swope and Avila both have a year left I believe

Kent and Larry are out of eligibility.

Every transfer by Conwell has been prompted by a coaching change. Brian Gregory was fired from South Florida, Schertz left ISU for St. Louis, and Sean Miller obviously is now leaving Xavier for Texas. Definitely not the college basketball we grew up with but that's the current state of the sport.

That or he doesn't want his phone blowing up every minute for the next week or two. With agents, it's smart to do it this way if you're a player of Conwell's caliber.

Crean landed a ton of Indiana Elite kids back when Adams was a lower level staffer. Got Hickman to transfer from Bradley to Cincinnati this offseason and was at Bradley because of Adams in the first place. Guys like Moreno, Bidunga, Mullins, etc choosing Kentucky, Kansas, and UConn over Cincinnati isn't an indictment on Drew Adams in my opinion. I wouldn't love the hire but also understand why you would hire him. Obviously if he isn't delivering recruits, especially from Indiana, his leash would need to be short...but recruiting at Indiana is a lot easier than recruiting at Cincinnati.
