NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

You got it, and from the tea leaves it sounds like Shedrick is the guy.

Love, Battle, Shedrick, Sparks, and TBD is the direction the portal may be blowing for CMW.

If we got those four in the portal? Not sure there’ll be minutes for another quality portal player, so maybe we’d add a late rising or decommit freshman there.

If it's really between IU and Mizzou, I see the only reason to choose Mizzou is that it's closer to home. I don't think they could beat IU in NIL. 

Yeah and if he’s not even visiting campuses gotta think the $$$ and getting to the league are what matters

What's Gates going to say..."You are the missing piece to us beating Princeton". Nothing against him, I just think IU would be a really good fit for him. I'd like to see IU go after a true 3. I think Battle/Ledlum are 4's.

Closer to home stand, since Mizzou is only like 2 hours away from home

Breaking: per Rabjohns, Woodson had the cat filter on the Zoom with Caleb Love. We've now lost Caleb. This will go down in IU recruitment lore with Crean/Kyrie Irving. 

“Again, son; I’m now going to have Scott Dolson join our Zoom. He’s part of our total team effort.”

FWIW, Battle hit 53% of his catch and shoot threes last season.  Would say his low shooting percentage from deep last year was a pretty big reflection of the lack of talent Minnesota had.  20-21 and 21-22 Battle would be really good to have.  Hope On3 is correct.

Was going to look for c-&-s breakdowns for him, Ledlum, Love. Awesome, this sorta fits my eye with Battle.

80% of Ledlum’s 3s were assisted so it seems unlikely he’s drastically better off the catch.

I do applaud the staff so far. I feel like they're going all in the transfer portal. Sounds like Adam Howard has been getting a ton of credit for their organization and knowing who to contact and when. Now, they gotta land these guys. But if they can get a few more of the top transfers in addition to Sparks (Love, Shedrick, Battle or Ledlum) this team can compete. I have no idea where it would stand in the National Landscape but they'd be top 4 in the B1G easily.

The 53% number for Battle came from 247, but I don't know where they accessed that so I don't know others.

Thanks. Checked Hoop Math but they don’t have it (maybe with a paid acct?), I’m sure Synergy does but I don’t have access.

Mizzou has some NIL money.  NIL money keeps you in the battle.

Anyway, I would not be surprised to see a lot of players/teams drag out their recruitments.  For the top players, there isn't a rush.

My one question with IU’s portal activity thus far is at the 3. I think it makes sense to take Shedrick and Sparks, even assuming Malik plays mostly at the 5. They clearly need guard depth. At least one of Ledlum/Battle fits at the 4, too, but IMO they’re not really 3s. Knecht or, should he transfer, Johnell make sense there, but so far there’s not a lot of movement on the former and who knows if the latter goes anywhere.

The logical conclusion here is they feel alright with Trey, Banks, and Gunn there, I hope, not that the Ledlum/Battle minutes are at the 3.

Cool, I'll have to check out Hoop Math.  My go to is Cbbanalytics, but you can only access one team for free (you can switch it ten times, after ten times your account locks.  I just keep it on IU and have had the free account for two years).

Not sure how much I'm able to say about Peegs (I only did it for just this month) but I don't think we will. It's silent over there outside random people. 

I saw his thread was pretty active an hour ago

Which would set us up nicely with the next couple of recruiting classes.
