2021 General Recruiting Thread

I wouldn’t worry too much about his overall FG% given the 3 point acumen. As a frosh, 78% of his FGs were 3s; last year it was 53% of his FGs: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/parker-stewart-1.html

Now his 2 point shot selection? Not good when he takes them. Too many two point jumpers, too often unassisted though he was good at the rim at UT-Martin (60%).

An IU romance with Parker Stewart could be brief.  We'll know later today when he cuts his list per Rabjohns.

Tennessee-Martin grad transfer Parker Stewart is down to Indiana, Memphis, Kansas State and Arkansas.

Is he the back-up to Mohammed? Either or right? Not likely we take both?

The backup only In the sense that Aminu is deciding first.

Not sure which one would be a better fit for Indiana, but I am sure that either would be a big addition.

Didn't have any effect on Mason Miller's decision.

Pass on Stewart!

Love our freshmen, +Al could return. Not interested in another 6'5"guy(unless his name is Aminu). Excited to see Leal and Galloway gain confidence, and mature!

Transfer portal will be busy, stretch 4 and big are on my Christmas list! Plus Aminu!

I could be wrong, but I can't imagine either Al Durham or Joey Brunk returning for another year of college ball. Both could make a living playing overseas. For Joey, it would mean six years of college. Unless he is working on a PhD, that is too much college life for anyone but Bluto from Animal House. The way Race Thompson is playing, he'll also be ready for professional basketball by next year.

Kuluel Mading, who got some run around here a few months back, de-committed from Howard. From what I can recall of looking at him: 6’9”ish, long, built like a stick figure, runs well, explosively quick off the floor, good hands, needs skill development across the board, plays hard and competes, even with strength disadvantages. Will be an interesting late add for a high major, especially as a redshirt.

That Howard situation got sideways in a hurry. For different reasons Maker and Eastern were pretty big gambles, though with no real downside, I suppose. But a kid like Mading seems like the sort they had a chance build on.

A decision is on the horizon for ‘21  @ColoradoPrep_ PF Mouhammed Mbaye. Keep an eye on UGA, Indiana, Colorado. Rutgers, Louisville, AZ State offered, per coach. Really good game today in afternoon W. Run runner. Converts well in the paint.

Was thought to be a Rutgers Louisville battle.

Interesting late bloomer with a good outside stroke. The 'converts well in the paint' comment is a plus to hear.

Obviously would need to see way more, but he is a great looking athlete. Also doesn’t seem to shy away from contact. If not IU, I don’t think I would want to see him at Rutgers.

Are we really in the mix here?

Do you read that as all of those schools have offered or just AZ State?    Seems highly unusual if we've extended an actual offer and none of the usual suspects have commented on him.

Wording is confusing to this old fart.
