Dishon Jackson(6'11" center, Charlotte, 11.4 ppg, 6.rebounds) has committed to Iowa State.  IU had contacted him;  Jackson says he chose Iowa State over Xavier, Indiana, Miami and USC.

New to the portal:  

Drake guard Atin Wright.  6'1".  14.1 ppg, 2.1 reb, 1.9 ast.  46/41/82.  Made 65 threes on 160 attempts.  1 year of eligibility left.  First three years at Cal State Northridge.

Northern Kentucky guard Marques Warrick.  6'2".  19.9 ppg, 2.6 reb, 2.4 assists.  Shot 43/30/87, although over four years he shot 35% from three.  Four year starter at NKU, scored 2,246 career points -- all time leading scorer at Northern Kentucky.  Lexington native so I assume Kentucky will be in contact.

Two Xavier bigs -- Abou Ousmane, 6'10" post, and Sasa Ciani, 6'9" post from Slovenia.  Ousmane got the most run at center, averaging 21.5 minutes.  Mostly a rebound and D player, averaged 6.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks.  Ciani averaged 13 minutes, 2.5 points, and 2.9 rebounds but thought he was worth mentioning as the Xavier boards seemed to like his game.

Ousmane would be the perfect complimentary big off the bench that provides interior defense and rim protection.

Strange situation.  I wander how the team and coaches will welcome him back.

Probably with open arms.  I have to think no bridges were burned and Lewis was more than happy to have a big man back that will make an immediate impact.

Yeah, it's an easy to understand scenario.  Sparks is a great kid.  He was trying to live out his dreams.

Watched him all last year (Mashburn jr). Kid can create. His mid-range game is elite. His 3 point is decent after his injury, was exceptional. I would like him playing for IU.

One of the things Pearl talks about is not burning bridges with recruits, as he has taken several in as transfers that initially went somewhere else.  Same would go for players in my book.

We should hire him.

100%. Sparks always said his dream was to play at Indiana. He played here, scored points in Assembly Hall and fulfilled his dream. Now got back to ball state, finish our tour career getting quality minutes. Happy for you big fella.

If nothing else, probably reading some tea leaves.  Would seem very likely that Conwell transfers after a big year at Indiana State and the coach leaving.

[RaceToTheTop]

D.J. Davis, Butler.  6'1" guard, started all 33 games.  13.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists.  First three years at Cal Irvine.  Shot 43/35/95 this year, 41/37/89 for his career.

Interesting one --

Igor Milicic, Charlotte.  6'10" F/C with a nice outside touch.  German player.  Was at Virginia as a freshman where he played sparingly.  Played last two seasons at Charlotte.  Last year averaged 12.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks.  Shot 49/38/82 and is a bulk three point shooter -- 60% of his shots in his career are from three.  Last season made 56 of 149 three point attempts.

[RaceToTheTop]

A.J. Smith, Southern Indiana wing.  6'6", 13.7 pts, 8.8 reb.  41/28/79

Drew Thewll, Morehead State, point guard.  6'3".  10 pts, 3 reb, 6.2 assists.  44/34/65.

If Bates went in the portal should IU give him a call?
