Any idea on GM? DOBO? Etc

I don’t even try lol. I’m just gonna trust Coach D and staff and let them figure it out and just sit back and enjoy.

Especially with having so many veterans. He can sit back and just learn from Tucker for a year and battle him in practice and then be ready for heavy playing time when Tucker leaves.

Does anyone wonder if Sisley is going to/willing to redshirt? I feel with the roster IU has he could absolutely redshirt.

I can see him back as a grad assistant coach and think he would kill it in that role!

Oh my bad I forgot haha! They have ptsd and are used to two bigs with an offense that doesn’t move. You only need a 7 footer if you were in Woodsons two big offense. Bailey is going to play 25-30 minutes a game so it’s a hard sell to bring in a backup to Bailey or someone to compete with him because then at that point you’re just wasting money because I wouldn’t want to pay Bailey or FF $1.5m to play 10-12 minutes a game

And people are freaking out about not having a 7 ft big but what if that’s DeVries plan. Maybe he just targeted exactly who he wanted based on how he plans on playing.

I actually think DeVries is very hands on and is going to be the main developer and will have coaches just develop certain aspects of a position. Like KJ I believe is good at developing bigs. Clark seems to be good at recruiting and developing wings or bringing in ones that don’t really need additional development

I definitely think it’s worth looking into and I bet we have the money to pay him

Serious question… where would they make a bigger splash from? He had to fill out an entire roster. He didn’t have the luxury of having an already established roster where he could fill in 1-2 spots and pay $3-$4m while also bringing in a couple top prospects. I think once he is established for a couple of years then I can see the expectations changing in getting the top prospect guys who you have to pay a crap ton to get

Maybe he’s not been able to recruit the players he needed to recruit to play fast and now with unlimited resources at IU he can now do it

This is the first time in years where I don’t even worry about the lineup or really roster construction because I genuinely feel we have a real basketball coach who knows exactly what he’s doing and will execute his plan

UNF has the 2nd worst NIL money in the A Sun. They get ZERO support from the administration. It wouldn’t surprise me if their beach volleyball team or baseball team got more NIL than basketball. They’ve also lost their best three players in each of the last three years. They were terrible last year too but their best player won SEC player of the year this year. I bet you would’ve loved him on our team this year wouldn’t you?

And North Florida is one of the few teams in the A Sun who purposely schedule power 4 games to get the team ready for conference. So he’s definitely faced high major competition. I can’t wait until UNF comes to Bloomington again so I can get courtside seats haha

I’m honestly not sure. I could see Reed playing split time between the 4/5 which is why I don’t think you need two defensive centers besides Curtis

IKR! I love how he’s running this program to start and have full faith in him. I personally don’t care about the rankings because he is building this thing up the right way

I think with how DeVries runs his offense we might only get 3 big men… Curtis and two additional over 6 ft 10 with alot of 6 ft 8- 6 ft 9 guys because most of the time Tucker will play offense at 3 and defense at the 4. He will play 30 plus minutes a game so there isn’t a big need for a ton of 5’s especially with Reed. It could even be Reed, Curtis, and one other 5 either Miller or Texas tech kid

It’s good to know that people listen to admins to move the discussion to another thread!!!

I think they mean the assistant coach not the player

Maybe that’s what DeVries was asking when on that call about how tall is he???

I don’t think 247 has updated it yet because when I looked it never even showed him committing to Villanova

Makes complete sense! Thanks!

I for some reason thought they had to get paperwork submitted by the deadline

Oh I know hahaha

Only best 15th man in IU history hahaha
