Continued character development...that sounds like a Woodson strong trait

Might just be me, but in one sentence his father said he was looking for someone to 'continue his character development' and then in the next said 'opportunity to get significant minutes right away'.

Just seems a little contradictory to me.  Basically 'develop his character, but we'd like there to be fewer obstacles to compete for playing time.'

He can’t shoot and he’s overrated defensively. 

He's a freshman. I think we need to hold off on criticism of a guy who played well considering he was in over his head at times. He's shot will get better, so will his defense. Not sure if you meant overmatched? Nobody was rating his defense well. All freshman are going to have deficiencies, some more than others. This dude is going to be good.

Not really a fit for IU probably, but Emanuel Miler (Texas A&M) enters the portal.  Undersized 4 at 6'7", averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds last year while shooting 57%.  Definitely an inside player.

Mangas worst year in college trumps Duncan's year in D3 by A LOT. 

Maybe but Duncan is an NBA player.

Huge news out of the Pac-12. Arizona’s James Akinjo has entered the transfer portal, a source told @Stockrisers. All-conference prospect who averaged over 15 points per game on 38% shooting this past season.

Last I saw he was testing the NBA waters. Kid looks to be keeping all his options open.

Three years into his college career and he is shooting 37% overall......but 38% from three.  Weird.

Remember watching him in HS. I wanted Akinjo over Phinisee. Akinjo was hyper competitive and had that dog in him.

It won’t be Indiana.

This will be his 3rd team right lol.

Yep.   Not sure IU would even want to go after him.   High volume guy that dominates the ball.  Georgetown got better  without him and Arizona might of got worse.

Yeah, won’t argue with you there. I still think he is much better than Phin, but I don’t particularly want him.

Mangas looks extremely slow on tape.

That's what I saw too.I think Big Ten guards could pick him clean as a chicken defensively.

Would be a hard pass for me, and I’m guessing IU will agree

I would take him, but wouldn't go after him hard either. I'm pretty happy right now with 1-3. Hoping we are looking for either a 4 or 5. I'd take a pure shooter too.

I really liked watching him play.  Weird career he kind of regressed in his senior year.    It’s interesting every time I watched  he seemed to hit shots but his numbers were down this year.   I would take him In a heartbeat 

[yogisballin 2,288]

If we just slap a "forward" label on Stewart when he starts at the "3"... is it still a big deal? I guess I don't understand the problem with our "3" being 6'5? 
And I really lack faith in our guards, as well. 

I’m right there with you. I think we need 2 more guards or a guard and wing
