He’s 6’4”. He’s not a great defender but he seems to compete. It’s not like our current crop of guards were all that great on defense this year.  
 

Assuming he progresses as a sophomore he’d probably be an upgrade over a guy like Kopp. Kopp averaged about 2 two-pointers and 4 three-pointers attempted a game, whereas essigien average splits of 4/5.5 attempts a game. In other words, he’s a true shooter looking to find ways to get his shot.   
 

They kind of trashed him in the paper up her over his shooting slump, but other than that I’m not sure why he’d leave. He obviously got tons of PT . 

Seems that Gard may not be popular among players. I remember the story that came out a year or 2 ago where this was an issue.

Maybe it went away because winning cures everything, well now they stopped winning.

That was somewhat true but also involved a disgruntled former player/assistant and centered around a comment that was “insensitive.”  
 

Nobody really transferred after that. and Essegien was recruited after that.  
 

With that said, I’m not a Gard fan and he seems like he’s annoying. So I’m all for a native Hoosier returning home!

Connor would be a huge, huge addition. 13p 4r and was on the All FR team? Sign me up.

Essegian would be a good addition, let's see if he actually enters the portal first though.

Didn't they have a player or two leave? I thought one ended up at O$U or maybe a player went from O$U to Wiscy.

You may be thinking of Micah Potter. Went O$U to Wiscy, stretch 4.

Thank you, that's probably what I was thinking. In the recent past right? (3-4 years ago)

Think we moved pretty quickly from Essegian liking a post to being in candy stripes pretty quick.

He didn't even have to like a post. We had him in candy stripes from someone saying something about a good freshman wanting to transfer to IU.

I think basically everyone is just saying, IF it were to happen, they'd want CE.

FWIW, the "Indiana Sports Partizen" has subsequently posted in a way that makes it clear he was talking about Essegian.

I would expect that Hendley from Minnesota will be joining Dennis Evans at Louisville too.

To add more fuel to the fire, here's a hypothetical with Essegian. Assuming he does transfer here and Bates stays, who would start?
