No ill feelings to Franklin. All I can do is speculate, but fear of a new system and diminished scoring opportunities impact players every year. I would have liked to retain all the players, but to keep 5/6...that's a great sign of stability. Best of luck to Franklin....now let's fill those last spots with kids that want to be here every day and play in front of the best fans in college basketball.

This is pure speculation on my part...but I thought Fife’s interview with Dakich a few days ago was very telling when he was talking about not begging kids to be here, dealing with parents and dealing with families posting about the program on social media. To me...I instantly assumed Franklin was gone.

Well maybe but he’s 6’2 and not a shooter.

[Gnet550 940]

Yea, maybe have Lander and him split the 1 and stew and X share the 2/3

Few Possible Names

Matt Bradley 

Noah Locke 

Zach Nutall

 

I think I actually like Bradley & Nutall better than Locke on just a quick search.

Miller from Illinois

Sent from my Moto Z (2) using BtownBanners mobile app
 

He and his family are too much of a headache.

[Gnet550 940]

Timmy Allen? Bit of a headache though

Kevin Easley Jr entered the portal. From Indianapolis. Had a huge freshman year at Chatanooga before transferring to TCU. Had a meh year there. Just bring him up bc he’s 6’7 225 and seems to fit the mold Woodson goes after. Only shot 25% from 3 on 2 attempts per game but his freshman year at chatanooga he shot over 39% on 4.3 attempts per game.

Any more info on Brooks? I’ve been off for several hours. Just got on the bus to go home...just finished playing Bloomington North softball tonight...

Yeah the sweet spot for this team is probably a 2/3 with good size and shooting, and Locke’s 6’2”.

I’m optimistic you can cover most minutes at the three with Stewart, Hunter, and some combo of Leal, Galloway, Geronimo. But it’s easier to see how that might fail than everywhere else on the floor. Not because those options are bad, but because they’re better suited at 2, 4, or they need more seasoning

I think you have 3 good choices at PG right now. Johnson's assist rate last year can't be ignored. Stewart played the point at UT-M a decent amount of time. My gut says Johnson and Lander will split time at PG. I think Johnson simply floats between 1 and 2. Stewart could do the same if needed. My biggest hope is Lander develops, and we have 3 guys how can push the ball, with 2 of them being able to float and be be productive at 2 along with some of the other youth. Not sure how Phin fits right now. 

At the end of the day, I just want the 5 best guys on the court. I think we're more than fine at PG. If anything, we need a quality big from the portal, maybe a situational sniper for the 2.

That one seems like it might have some legs

[lillurk 3,894]

A lot of IU’s next target probably depends on 1) do they think Thompson can shoot well enough from 3 (~34% or better?) to play the bulk of the minutes at 4, and 2) can Hunter handle and defend well enough to do the same at the 3?

Nothing on Rupp Rafters, only that people wouldn’t be surprised and is rumored he is unhappy there

Is Stewart a little slight, I think I like him staying in the 1-2 range.

He was considered a bit of a shooter in high school. Like most of our team Archie killed that

Some of the names from 247
SG 

Noah Locke 

Daryll Morsell 

PG 

Adam Miller 

Marcus Carr

I doubt Miller is an option with him wanting to run point and us having 3 point guards on the current roster.  Carr isn't coming to Btown, ditto for Morsell.  I have no idea about Locke but highly doubt he becomes a Hoosier either.

So... Keion Brooks? Right? Right?
