Seems like the type of player our staff will love. But we will probably target Orme as a similar type player with less fanfare. 

I would look at him just for the sake as we could use another sophomore and his frosh numbers are pretty damn good!

GPS can be spotty in Montana. They might still be trying to find a route out of town

Anyone watch Colorado play this year? 

I fell for this with Myles Rice, but Isaiah Johnson looks good. His dad is an NBA skills coach. 3 years of eligibility left. Currently I would lean him and then probably Hammond. Unless someone could convince Sergio De Larrea into coming to IU.

Altman's days numbered?

School has said he will be returning next year, but at this time I don't know why.

Dylan James, 6'9" PF, Georgia.  Ranked 87th out of high school.  Strictly a rotational player at a P5.  Averaged 4 points and 3 boards in 15 minutes over three seasons.

Virginia Tech guard Neoklis Avdalas plans to enter the @TransferPortal, source told @On3. 

The 6-9 freshman averaged 12.1 points and 4.6 assists per game this season.

Will be the hands down scariest kid in the portal. Some teams are gonna look at him and think he can be the best player on a final 4 team and someone will write him a giant check. But if you can’t fix the shot all you’re getting is a jumbo PG who teams will just drop under ball screens on. He’ll land somewhere great but he’d scare me.

To that point, he had two games where he scored 30 and 33 points -- but in no other game did he reach 20 points.

Where is the line of production/potential with a kid like this?

Another former IU offer.  Offered Sept. '23; committed to Butler Aug '24.  Seemed like it was always one of Woody's here's an offer; you have an offer; everybody gets an offer because it never went anywhere after that.

Loved watching him in high school. Would absolutely kick the tires here.

12 4 and 4 as a true freshman is pretty darn impressive

Neoklis Avdalas 25-26 season:  39% FG and 31% on 3s.   Don't think we have the luxury of fixing his shot.  I'd pass.

He was also a true freshman last year. As others have said, we’ll likely be priced out, but this kid has major game and will be a big time contributor for some contender next year.

SIAP --

5'11" JaQuan Johnson from Bradley entered the portal.  16.9 ppg, 3.9 RPG, 3.6 apg.  First-team MVC.  Shot 42 / 38 / 78.  2.5 steals/game.

Read this one. Ellis is about to turn 23 and someone's gonna pay north of 3 mil for him, though at least part of it is apparently a cushion for him to pay his EuroLeague buyout. If it turns out to be Duke don’t be surprised if Deron Rippey decommits. Fair to assume they told him during his recruitment that he’d get the ball.

We’re now easily within range of late rd 1 NBA money.

This one might be worth keeping an eye on: Toledo PG Leroy Blyden entering the portal. Freshman of the year in the MAC averaged 16pts/4rebs/4.5asts on 46/41/85 shooting splits. Better than 2/1 asst/to as a freshman. With 3 years of eligibility imagine he will be in high demand and as a Detroit kid and with Fears graduating it certainly feels like an MSU thing, but we’ll see.

He has 2 more years I believe.

I thought he was done. Where’d I get that from?
