I like everything about this kid. I'd love to see him in person. High motor that wants to get better on both ends. Has a thought process with his offensive game. Built for the B1G and can knock down open looks. He's a definite year 1 contributor.

He's a Sampson type player.

Saw him two years ago and last summer and was impressed with how much his skills had improved but felt like he had become almost a bad teamate. Hopefully we would be the right environment, with enough talent with him to fix that. If so, he's only getting better and would be a tremendous add.

One of my favorites in the 27 class. He's only gotten better as his body matures.

" a little ditty about Arafan Diane,,,,"

Stanley Robert's anyone????

We have last year behind us now. Look forward to potentially landing some talented hs players and getting through this year.

With the recruiting chops on the bench I think we'll get a 5☆. I'm not sure who. It's hard not to see a one and done player with this one.

I think 3 of the members of the Backstreet Boys went by those names.

I get the feeling that DeVries likes a bigger pg. Idk why. Small was physical, Branham fits that mold maybe. Kayden was my favorite pg in the class. I thought he was a leader and tough as nails.

I've got a good feeling about this one.

That's where you gotta go hard. The market for those two positions in the portal will only get slimmer. I really liked watching his older brother play. Imagine a backcourt of the Mingos and VJ Edgecome? They teach defense at that school. I think he's more of a two, but the best perimeter defender I the country.

100% positive this staff wasn't the plan. I find it negligent and disrespectful to not be better prepared for day one on the job as IU Mens Basketball Coach. Atleast have someone that sit on a bench last year with you. I understand Murphy and Moikobu are friends and they jammed him, but tough shi7 that's on him. Someone that could pick up the phone and have connections to players would've been great to go into the portal. He had Frazier and Barnett build last years team. That's what your staff does. To not have one cost us a year. Moving forward, we'll compete on the recruiting trail.

We offered almost everyone but Ariza and McCoy now. Is Rod the lead on this? He would be a helluva get.

He starts on this team. He would be a difference maker this year. Add to our list of 6'5-6'7 shooters.

He wore L and XL???

People are still pulling bigs out of ICE vans. Can we get one?

Thank you for acknowledging my pain AH. I'm serious. I have a toothache that's killing me. My driverside eye tooth is a baby tooth and has finally cashed it in and I'm too tight to get it yanked and replaced. Had Devries just had a staff on time, my tooth wouldn't hurt.

Kinney or Jordan Smith? Ones a true pg but I think I'd let Smith play point and lead the team. He's wired different. No knock on Kinney.

This was the first offer under DDV/Norton. I would think that gets us a little bit of juice.

While we're out there someone get in the mix for Darius Wabbington. Right now the best big in the 27' class.

I'm sick. This guy plays winning basketball. As far as a coach. My choices were Pitino, Beard, Wade, maybe McCollum. DeVries never crossed my mind. The handling of his staff and hence roster construction makes me think even less.

It looks like to me that Rod and Kenny are in the Carolina's. I really like Cloer. Without racially profiling too much, he reminds me of Chandler Parsons at this stage.

Don't forget Miles.

I got tuned on to this guy a couple of years ago. He's a bucket. Small school, not much competition and hasn't grown much recently. 2A ??? The release is quick and he can get space. He'll be off the ball and can he get open?
