Just caught word from a very reliable source:  Jalen Blackmon to KenSucky.

Kentucky can carry a bad defender since they had an excellent defensive tea... never mind.

Wait! Kentucky was terrible defensively but maybe Jalen Blackmon can help with their def...  Ahhhh f' it.

Frankie Fidler apparently looking at Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Creighton.

iMO, he is this year’s Marcus Domask.

I googled to see who he was and the first result was that Michigan St is having him on campus

Vince Iwuchukwu out of USC via Montverde Academy.  We offered in Sept '21 but would be surprised if we jumped back in.  Had medical issues that raise a red flag for me.

Has been interesting to see a number of former IU offers that have gone portaling.

Could be a Ware type player, minus the range if he is healthy

Yep, see that.  The tweet I saw had listed Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Creighton but On3 lists Michigan State in his top 4.  I know IU reached out.  Fidler is a good one.

Martin is a tough guard. Curious how Martin and Davis will do in the B1G

They could end up in the Big Ten, but I wouldn't assume they will.  Not sure they will end up at Michigan.  Louisville is rumored to be in very real competition with Michigan for Davis.

Just got done watching Shelley play a couple of games. The kid is gonna be an elite multi-positional defender. 6’8” with elite movement skills. He’ll be switchable 1-4, no problem. Maybe 1-5 in the right situation. And he can really run and he can make enough open looks. Fun prospect.

Would not be opposed to exploring this one. He’s a year young for his class, so the season he had isn’t a shock. He’s got a great frame and he can really run. He’s strong enough to defend the block and he’s really quick off his feet. He’s got a chance to get a lot better.

Also don’t think he’d have to be promised a starting spot.  If he got Anthony Walker type minutes he’d be getting more on court time than he had at USC.

Corey Washington, St. Peter's 6'6" forward.  15.9 points, 6.3 rebounds.  Shot 46/31/77.  

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

Reported that Tramon Mack was going to enter the portal yesterday evening.  Will be interesting to see if he does now that cal is coming.  So I would think he might consider staying after talking to Cal but that probably starts a domino effect on other players who Cal might have wanted.  Could also look at USC where Musselman went or go simply become a free agent again.

Mack played three years at Houston before transferring to Arkansas.  6'6" guard averaged 16.2 points and 4.3 rebounds.  Shot 48/36/80.

I prefer him over Carlyle and Rice.  Although Rice's storyline is intriguing so i'm rooting for him.  I also think Boogie has star potential and really like him but the Youth vs experience aspect becomes and important distinguisher.
