It's about time IU started going after "Top Shelf" 7 footers...... well, at least with this new coaching staff, we know Coach Woodson and Co. are going after players of his size.

It looks like this is a guy rated on "potential" instead of actual ability to contribute at the college level. The 247 scouting report talks about how raw he is, decision making, etc.

If he signs with us I'm hoping we don't get a 7' Hanner Perea. But I do have more faith in the current coaching staff when it comes to player development.

He better not come to IU then or else Baylor may threaten to have him deported too

It's also about time we offered a guy named "Vince."

 

Putting aside the whole colonial atrocities origin, boring, generic euro-first names attached to wickedly cool African surnames are unfailingly awesome. 
But he really needs to go by Vincent.

Jamie Shaw on Jaden Schutt of Yorkville, IL.

Indiana has contacted Tayshawn Comer from Indianapolis.

[Stuhoo 80,439]

 

He's a 2022 forward, he's 6'6" and playing high-level AAU ball, and he's doing it with only one arm. I don't believe IU is interested, but it's worth your time to learn about Hansel Emmanuel:

What’s everyone’s dream class? I think mine includes Seth Trimble, Justin Taylor, and Kyle Filipowski for sure. How many will we take in this class?

Dream?

1. Washington/Clowney
2. Filipowski
3. Taylor/Banks
4. TBD- do we need another guard? Are we projected to lose guards? Gunn is already coming

Not including Gunn if we’re talking who we’d want in a dream scenario, though I like his ceiling and think he’s a solid get.
 If we’re assuming 4, in no order of priority:
1) Clowney                          

2) Washington

3) Phillips

4) Avery Brown, though I haven’t watched enough of Trimble  to make a judgement. Maybe I’ll do that today. 

Actually, that is my order of priority. But, the real dream is Bruce Thornton coming to his senses and de-committing from OSU. My favorite ‘22 not named Jalen Duren. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,228]

Yeah, he’d be great as the guard target.

Stewart, Johnson, and Phinisee could all be gone.

Is XJ that strong of a pro prospect?

I have listened to X’s interviews and he really doesn’t sound like he wants to do more than one more year of college.

[lillurk 3,738]

Guessing X can graduate in another year if he hasn’t already, then make money playing. Will he make the league? Who knows.

[ramadden13 908]

I think we’ll likely lose:  TJD, Phinisee, Race, X, and Kopp. Maybe Stewart too.

I think I’d want:  Filipowski, Trimble, Taylor, Gunn, and Hood-Schifino. Could also turn to the transfer market for one of these spots. Also could use another front court player.

[mike vannice 281]

OK, here is my dream class-- Kyle Filipowski, Noah Clowney, Julian Phillips, Justin Taylor, and CJ Gunn. You would still have Bates, Lander, Leal , Galloway and maybe Stewart for the guard spots. A deep and talented squad with size, shooting and athleticism.
