I would stay away from the physical traits argument. Plenty of guys who don't look like ball players could run circles around Payton Sparks on the basketball court.

I would say that the downside for any portal recruit that looks good will be the system that we are putting him into.

Sadly so.

6’5” guard Roger McFarlane from SE Louisiana.  14.8 points and 8.6 rebounds  last season. 123 of 335 (37%) from three in three years

Ohio State hiring Diebler is an Ohio State short sited issue.  After Tony Bennett retired early into the season at Wisky, Brad Soddeberg took over and took Wisky to the tournament.  But Wisky didn’t retain him as their head coach.

D!ck Bennett, but yea, he didn’t quite have the political capital to force his guy into the spot. The flip side is that Bo Ryan did but  he also left Gard with a loaded team.  
 

The immediate downside to Diebler getting the job is less Ohio State kids probably jump into the portal.   
 

Edit - language filter got me…lol

A little surprised we haven’t heard more solid info on IU players portaging/staying/testing the waters yet.

Final talks are/might be going on today. Portal doesn’t open until till tomorrow “technically”. So I’d say tomorrow you’d start hearing more and more news.

Gotta have end of year meetings/exit interviews first.  I'm gonna guess Tuesday will be the earliest we hear anything from anyone.

Just expected more leaks I guess.

Depressingly so

Neither team had very good seasons, but maybe the IU staff might as well try to bring in 1) Furman’s entire backcourt and 2) Pepperdine’s entire frontline.

Maybe Cig can get several JMU basketball players to transfer to IU.
 What the hell…we need some bodies and if our basketball staff can’t land players maybe Cig can lend a helping hand. :)

We’ve already talked about Carlyle a little bit. I’ll be pretty surprised if IU isn’t in here.

If we are going to be all in on the portal, I think I want us to take the Cignetti approach. Get productive guys from lower levels rather than disgruntled guys or guys that didn’t play much for P5s.

Woodson is the opposite of Cignetti, though. He only cares about recruit rankings and can't win without superior talent.

And that is what worries me.

George Washington III's grandfather could really play ball.  Famous for saying "The ball can not tell a lie".

Watched some video of him this afternoon. Spectacular athlete. Looks some like Terrence Shannon minus the superhero part.
