The only name on your list I'm a hard no on is Kwame. I think with tools he came out of 'Verde with and the pace of his development, it seems like a work issue. The measurables and talent should've made him a lottery pick by now. I hope we come out hitting the bigs first. A three man rotation between the 4 and 5. I'd be ecstatic with Hines, Fru and a shocker....Suigo. Point is my next concern. I personally like physical pgs. I'm convinced the ball you could get from Harrelson would be at the point, and load up with shooters. Note on Karvala.....he's going to play next year.

Remember the name Logan Chwastyk I know nothing about his character or the behind the scenes stuff, but he's an impressive big from 2028.

Side note, Owen Freeman was a disappointment this year.

I bet we've done some tampering. This time around when we get visits, we'll close.

They'd be better of with just the clap-clap-clap.....lol I'd like Vasheer and Maximo Adams off that sinking ship.

He has to be getting aarp magazines by now.

Bidunga and Harrelson.

From seeing him through high-school I thought then and now, he can facilitate.

I wonder who if any from the remaining 4 teams will enter the portal?

I'd like a line-up composition very much like Marylands 24-25. 2 bigs, 2 wings and a two-way high level pg. Add a bench pg, another wing and young big that's a future starter as an 8 man rotation and we'll be a handful. We currently have none of those players.

Keep elevating staff talent. We're only as talented the connections we have to talent. I think our recruiting classes will get better. The incoming class need time to mature physically. Gurcak(sp) Fru and Bonke and maybe the Hammond kid from Santa Clara is where my interest is currently at. I really like the young pg from Colorado but I really liked Rice when we got him, I see some similarities. We have multiple big Euros in the final four, there has to be something right about it.

Sheehey and the he-shes. Lol If im not on here for a while, I understand but I couldn't help myself.

Dear heavenly Father, let us land 3 or 4 studs before the string of Conerway, Bailey and Dorns.....

Funny how that works out. I was a huge fan of Malik Mack and Baye Ndongo 2 years ago and they've failed to improve as well.

The bigs that don't scare me are Bonke, Fru and Gurdak At this moment the PGs that could be gettable,,,,I think are Hammond and the frosh from Colorado. Wings are a dime a dozen.

The trend to big rosters is going to make the market at the 5 crazy.

It's heating up. Rooths and Fru are interesting pieces. I like that VT center too. The pg position will be interesting.

Yes please

I don't disagree. Alot of players of his archetype in the portal every year. Many of those with multiple years of eligibility. I feel like our rotation 1-8 has to be significantly bigger, faster, longer and stronger than this year. With the trend of size, unfortunately we will be paying over a mil for a backup 5. In theory, you could drop 12m on 1-8 and still not finish in the top 5 of the big ten. I may be in the minority but I'd go the euro route for half the rotation. Not just any players, we have two that didn't break a sweat, but Illinois looks pretty good to me as a short term philosophy.

He's wired pretty hot, to the point of uncountable. I checked out Brandon Benjamin. I started the underclassmen scouting immediately after we put this year's team together. Benjamin can rebound.

I liked Fru early in the season and if is one of 3 bigs that we need to compete in the Big Ten I'd be excited to have him. I'm not concerned about landing wings that can shoot, they're a dime a dozen. Bigs, a talented point guard and athletes that want to defend is the must if we want to evolve.

Coach K took a few late tournament losses before he got over the hump.

We are really really far from a moment like this at IU.

The big 3 were defensively lacking at there position. You have to have Smith on the floor which means you can't really have Loyer out there too defensively. Not past the first weekend.

I think I prefer Isaiah Johnson as high dollar pg add.
