IUGRAD06

Thinking this the other day. Harris or Sisley off the bench for Bailey or Alexis and then Dorn or Miles for DeVries or Wilkerson.

Thiam is all potential and Baba is a backup. He is worse than Alexis in rebounding and blocks. His shooting percentages are worse than Bailey at the mid major level. Cincy definitely overpaid for that one which happens this late in the portal.

Neoklis will most likely end up at a smaller high major like VT. He is requesting a ton of usage and is gearing up for next years draft is what a European analyst is saying.

Trilly Discord. He was the one that mentioned it then a mysterious 6’8” recruit getting pics. He just came back yesterday asking about IU and Hawthorne. Rabjohns made a comment dismissing it then changed it. He then immediately followed Hawthorne afterwards. Nobody knows what is happening on that recruitment it seems and it’s gone silent.

There is a WV poster that’s lurking that thinks IU is involved or talking to him right now as well. He is the one that brought it to the board and then the photoshop thing popped up.

The rumor started from someone from our marketing group that was talking with the photographer of the photoshoots. It stated on Trilly’s Discord. He said the guy said it was 1000% positive it was a 6’8” male, not the female visiting. FWIW. No name though.

He turns the ball over way more than he creates assists. 6% differential there. Goode may not pass well but he doesn’t turn it over at an high percentage. Offensively he is a train wreck. Passes on jumpers. Scared to shoot. Can’t have that on offense. Reed and Alexis will be more on cuts than our guards. He isn’t a catch or shoot or a come off screen guard. Essentially he is useless on offense. Kid is a 12th or 13th bench player on a good team while Goode will most likely see the rotation most likely as a backup.

Why. Just want to hear the reason. I have heard some insanely dumb reasons.

I just don’t get bringing him back. Understand the politics of it but Jesus if he is playing we suck. I don’t understand the logic of getting a guy that just doesn’t want to get a job over a developmental player. Goode I would like back as he played 20 mpg for an elite 8 team and his shooting would be a plus in DeVries system.

Our best year during his tenure was when he played in 11 games and 2 mpg.

We are done in the transfer portal.

Asking price was too large for what we wanted and we moved on. Alexis had higher block and rebounding percentages.

Kenpom had them ranked 85th preseason on defense and they finished 15th on defense at the end. I mean he would have won 20+ games if his son didn’t get injured as they had the majority of their Q1 wins with him starting at the beginning. He increased Javon Smalls PER by 6. There are a lot of positives if you think about it.

ACC was trash

He averaged 19 mpg and during the tourney he averaged 11 mpg. Again last year with a top 15 D he had a more offensive 5 and a defensive backup. He is doing that again I believe. Alexis had a higher block and rebounding percentage than Federiko. Alexis also was significantly better than Babo at the mid major level.
