Evan Fitzner to IU

[dallas44~ 209]

Sounds fine to me. Another player that will help IU win the B1G next season

Didn’t see it in another thread, but props to sticking to your guns about romeo to IU last 8-9 months lol.

 

Like this kid a lot. Center who can shoot the 3 and crash boards? I’m down

Thanks haha. I just knew Romeo would stay home

And on Fitzner, I think he’ll be a good help. Just plays basketball

Not a lot of high profile schools after this kid but I can see why Archie wants him.

We are going to be a completely different looking team next season and THAT is a great thing!

I’m seriously beginning to wonder if Juwan is returning though.

191 underclassmen have declared along with 54 foreigners.  His chances of getting drafted are not high.

I'm pretty sure he's going to come back.

You never know, getting Evan could make someone on the current roster transfer maybe ? Same thing with Romeo

I hope Romeo doesn't decide to come because we got this kid. Hopefully, he signed his LOI. :-)

Wouldn't expect a coach to trash a transferring player but it's still nice to hear this from Bennett.

St Mary’s HC Randy Bennett on transfer Evan Fitzner: “He’s really gifted offensively. We wanted him back. I didn’t see it coming, but he came back from Spring Break, said he wanted to explore. When you told me it was Indiana, I was thrilled for him. He will enhance their program”

[Demo 20,512]

If Archie wants him, then I'm happy to have him. Randy Bennett's terrific, so the kid certainly understands how to play.A 6'10" shooter who knows how to play can only be an asset. However, the fact that Archie wanted a kid with this skill set probably means that the inevitable, "Clifton Moore is killing everyone in workouts,"  reports need to be taken with a big ol' grain of salt. I would think Fitzner's 10 mins/gm would come right out of Moore.

Very nice to hear.

If Juwan doesn't come back, we don't really have a low post presence, unless Davis gets healthy. Does this guy play in the post at all? Hopefully Moore is honing his post skills.

Quoted you only so you’d see it and maybe know the answer or if someone else does, great. It seems that the grad transfer “market” has players become available at different times. Do the grad transfers market themselves as being available or how do recruiting schools find out who’s on the grad transfer “market”.

My gf graduated from there.  We figured out they had made the NCAA tournament one of the years she was there.  She had absolutely no idea that had happened and felt that most other people on campus probably didn't either.  She never went to a single basketball game.

So there's that.

Boy, is he in for a culture shock. The passion of the fans and the electric atmosphere of AH will be amazing and that starts with Hoosier Hysteria.

He should have gotten a taste of that hysteria at Janko's on Monday evening with Archie and the staff, when it erupted in celebration when Romeo committed.

We're in big trouble down low without juwan but he is coming back so its a non issue

Juwon Morgan is an NBA 3.  He has a lot to work on to even get a sniff.  If he leaves, it'll be to play overseas, and he's not at all any kind of hardship kid who desperately needs to go make money.  The Euro leagues, the G league will all be there.  Kid wants information, and he'll get it.  The NBA does not utilize 6'7" 220 pound players who are best with their back to the basket.

Juwon Morgan isn't going anywhere.  He declared so he could learn what he has to become and what he has to develop in order to be an NBA player.   The panic can stop; and this kid is an insurance policy against Davis not being ready....nothing to do w Morgan.   Everyone can relax.

Has the Archie was at Jankos story been confirmed by anyone else? I remember seeing that post then the Langfords said all the coaches were at home watching and finding out then.

Thank you Old Friend for easing my angst.

That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
