Tyler Betsy, wouldn’t mind getting him. Didn’t get alot of run at Cincy last year 

Amazingly enough, yet another former IU offeree.   I believe he's also the 3rd Cincy player to portal within the last few days.

Thinking that though he's only 6'1", he's not showing stats as a point guard. 1.2 assists in 33.7 minutes per game last season.

Yeah he was an undersized 2 putting up almost 7 3PA a game, they had a bigger PG tandem, two 6’3” guys

Another Cincy player in the portal and another former IU offeree

Would interest me because he’s a year young for the class, he’s a rim protector, a rim runner and pick and roll finisher who doesn’t need the ball.

Of the Cincy players that recently entered, the one I'm highest on is still Dan Skillings.  But with Arrienton Page having two years eligibility, even with him not leaving up to his potential yet he'd be a decent get.

He really got buried on the bench. Didn't get ten minutes of run in a game in February or March.

Jayden Quaintance to UK. Seems likely Moreno ends up being an off the bench for them.   That's a nice problem to have.  Back to the Freshman conversation, the Blue bloods aren't gonna bank their teams success on Freshman going forward. Interesting climate out there for players.  The Transfer rate will continue to be crazy so long as the money is out there.  

Quaintance tore his ACL in March so I wouldn't be surprised if they eased him into action at the beginning of the year.

They have Brandon Garrison on the roster with Moreno too. Do they just have a ton of money to get rid off down there?

Listed as a “PG” in portal iirc and bigger/taller than T. Comer.

Ideally IU would have a bigger backcourt next season but they may not have that luxury, especially given how time-consuming the assembly of a full coaching staff is turning out to be. I’d love to see DDV go after some bigger guards like Xaivian Lee (or maybe Askew if he’s still on the market) but unless DeVries is able to out recruit some “heavyweight” programs for guys like that (possibly including Wilkerson) he may have to go with a somewhat undersized backcourt, at least in season one.

Kris Parker, Villanova freshman, 6'9" wing.  10 mpg, 2.6 points.  Originally a redshirt at Alabama and then transferred to Villanova.

Mike Sharavjamts on the move again.  Freshman year at Dayton, sophomore year at San Francisco, junior year at Utah.  IU pursued him two years ago.  6'9" wing.  over three seasons has averaged 23.5 mpg, 6.9 ppg, 2.8 reb, and 2.7 assists.  41/33/70 shooter.

Scotty Middleton, 6'7" sophomore forward.  Played his freshman year at Ohio State and his sophomore year at Seton Hall.  Over two years averaged 18.1 mpg, 5.1 ppg.  Good three point shooter, has made 56 of 135 threes (41.5%).

Just want to add that the Dead Period sucks in case no one else has stated it.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 90,464]

Rice center Caden Powell Will enter the transfer portal, he tells @TheAthleticCBB He averaged 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game

It's not just that it sucks, it's at a stupid time.  There is no reason the portal has to open as early as it does.....just push it back until after the final four and then have no dead period.

He's no Kok Yat or Peter Jurkin though.

Notice that Bernie Blunt played in 2021-22 and then didn't play again until 2024-25?  Wonder what he did with his time off.

Anyway, IU doesn't need a guy that will go 4 of 20 from the field.

Can we go get our Chinyelu and Handlogten? Nothing flashy. Two lunch pal rebounders that give you 40 minutes of paint defense as a tandem. Then load up on the plethora of mid-major guys, 6'4-6'6 that shot the hell out of it this year. I wouldn't get in a Wilkerson bidding war. A hs class of 3 would help.

We gotta spend somewhere. Wilkerson would be a worthy choice.

Looks like May be running into same problem every coach has with transfers into Michigan.  Hearing Morez Johnson may not go cause having issues with admission.
