By the looks of the videos Ive watched- I think Sparks and Walker are going to be excellent contributors for this team. 

Sparks looks very strong, finisher through contact.

Walker is a long bouncy small forward like Banks, who I also think can do good things for us.

Our athletic depth will be something we haven't had here in a long long time. We've always had one guy on the floor who wasn't a great athlete, without naming names. Next year, I think most of the time we will be athletic from 1-5 (unless you count Trey as limiting, which I don't).

Walker is a power forward.

6-4 200 guard. New Jersey kid. 1 year. Maybe...

I have no idea what the injury was last season nor do I know how he translates to P5.  I'm just listing options that are out there.

IU back to be rated 24th on Torvik.  Looks like all teams are back to where they were a couple of days ago, so not sure what is happening there.

Trilly Donovan alluding to a signing at St. John's -- looks to be Zuby Elijiofor from Kansas.  Was ranked 47th in the class of 2023 but had a very disappointing freshman year at Kansas.

Pitino kept only Joel Soriano and little used Drissa Traore on the team and also had all previous incoming recruits decommit.  Not sure they are really any better than they were before, just different.  Have to see if they add anyone else -- I'm not sure how many scholarship spots are left.

8 years of eligibility. Is this the record?

Has to be up there, pretty sure there was an 9 year player too

There was another “kid” in the portal this cycle who started his career the same year. Can’t remember his name. And once the Covid year cycles, yeah, that’s probably an unbreakable record.

Seemed like Brian Cardinal (PUke) and Jess Settles (Iowa) played forever...

Settles I think was there for 6 years. Cardinal was only in college for 4 years but it seemed long because he was a PITA.

Jess Settles loves him some IU! Every time he calls a game you know he’ll pay reverence to IU

 

I really don’t like records broken because of the covid loophole though.

Strange pickup for Maryland.  Mada Traore, 6'11" center who played his freshman year at New Mexico State.  Only played a total of ten minutes as he had to complete some academics before being eligible and  New Mexico State cancelled their season shortly after.  Was ranked only 237 in his recruiting class.  I would have assumed he was a walk on but everything I've seen online does not seem to indicate that.

I've heard it said that Indiana wants its full roster on campus by June1st.  I assume that will apply to the 13th scholarship guy so I imagine, once we identify our target things might move quickly.

Not a transfer but rather a reclassify -- Trilly Donovan indicating that Thomas Sorber (6'9" center, class of 2024 consensus #68 rated prospect) will reclassify to 2023 and commit to Georgetown.
