For sure. I just hope he wouldn't be the best one. If he hits 3's I think he could be a solid addition. 

I don't think he will be. Just a piece of the puzzle

The portal window is very narrow as compared to the time you have in recruiting high school kids.  Number of teams still playing and who knows who has yet to enter the portal.  We're seemingly going pretty hard after a couple of names already.  Pretty fine balancing act to not fill your roster too quickly and miss out on some new names that will appear in the next week or two.  Hopefully our staff has some really good intel and we don't pull the trigger too quickly and regret it later.

Indeed.  And further complicated by possible NBA departures.

Low major to look out for possible major improvement next year might be Austin Peay.  9-22 this year, hired Northwestern State's coach.  Been there just three days I believe and already brought in his old team's best player DeMarcus Sharp as well as Quinnipiac's best player, Dezi Jones.

Again, reaching out could be nothing more than hey, how are you?  Crappy  weather for March isn't it?

Girard can really shoot it but at 6’1”, would tie Cupps as the shortest player Woodson has recruited. In the scenario where IU has another out-transfer or two, I can see the fit as a 6th man microwave shooter who can play backup PG. A little on the small side for what IU wants to do on defense.

Highly doubt Girard goes anyplace where he is coming off the bench.

Not sure this fanbases obsession with height, but I'd take him. We need another ball handler and shooter. Could play next to Johnson because he can work off ball. Could be be any worse a defender then Hulls was? A team defense should be able to hide that. Question would be whether he could play man to man after playing zone for so long.

Who is gonna be the lucky one to snag Evbuomwan from Princeton?

This Furst smoke is interesting but pretty hard to believe. I liked Furst from HS. Smart player. Can offer more.

I'm not buying the Furst stuff... How many times did we hear it about Brooks?
