Ok it's a good day to get the visits for Ware and my boy Dalton on the books. 

Ohhh baby. They really need a wing and Dalton looks like one of the best.

IMO Ware/Shedrick/DeLoach feel like a “take one,” but I guess you could take two and still have space for one wing and one guard.

Strange to me that they’ve mostly been on combo forwards (Battle and Ledlum) over wings/guards. I know not everyone’s in the pool.

I will say that IU is going to do everything it possibly can this weekend to get Ledlum to commit before he leaves town. They really want him and don't want him to take other visits

Well... and I'm not going to argue it, but if they think Cupps can play 8-12 mins a night, meaning XJ plays some 2... there isn't as big of a need for 2 wings... when you have TG/Banks. Add one to that and you should be good, especially if you get Ledlum or Battle who can play the 3/4.

Agree, it’s partially an indicator of confidence in Cupps, Banks, Gunn, and Newton to be backups at 1-3.

For me Ledlum is the no-brainer number one portal addition that could be possible for IU. He's an excellent player that is physical and plays with an edge always, and he will be a culture builder like no other player we can bring in.

Like Sparks and Deloach, he's another that finishes well, has a great motor, and is subpar from the free throw line.

You guys want a team of 'dogs'? Add Ledlum and Deloach to Sparks, X, and Gallo. Ware is the180 degree outlier in personality type.

Don’t know about Dalton - what does he bring to the?

6'6 scoring guard who can shoot.

Would he be a 2, a 3 - or both?

More likely a 3 but could slide and play the 2 spot.  he is listed as a guard at 6'6" at 220 lbs on ESPN

If he means Dalton Knecht, then a 6-6 guard that averaged 20 and 7 last year and shot 38% from 3 on 6 attempts per game.

Thanks for the info guys - trying to get work done but sadly addicted to recruiting. Lol

Dalton is Tyler Hero-Like. He’s really, really good. I love they pronounce his last name Knecht, Connect. Announcers would have fun with Reneau for 2 and all sorts of Connect puns.

If we really have a legit chance he skyrockets up my list of wants. He and Ledlum kinda play the same position but they could also play together. I feel the staff will have a hard time getting both of them but I’m Knecht>Ledlum. I like Ledlum though, I just really like Knecht.

Has his visit been scheduled?

With both Ledlum and Dalton being listed at 6'6", would we take both if they both wanted to come?  I assume yes?  Ledlum is a little bigger weight wise.  What about DeLoach(he is 6'9")?  Seems to be a high motor guy with a knack for rebounding AND we have a visit locked in next weekend i believe.  Or would we take Ware over DeLoach?

Starters: X, Dalton, Ledlum, DeLoach, Malik?

Bench: TG, Cupps, Newton, Gunn, Banks, Leal, Sparks,

Love them both as options. Ware has some concerns but what young 7 footer doesn’t? Ceiling is through the roof. Knecht would be fun to watch in the stripes. Super confident shooter, including off the dribble. We have seen that at IU in a while.

Dalton(SG/SF), Ledlum(SF/PF), Ware(C), DeLoach(PF), Shedrick(C), Battle(SF/PF)?

Ledlum can play the 4 as well, if not better, than Battle... imo.

No complaints here.  I'd take Dalton Knecht over Caleb Love anyway.
