Knecht looks like an NBA skill set on offense.

If IU needs him to play guard I worry about the defensive end.

We worry about the defensive end until the point we are screaming to score on offense.

Thinking about it;

If…IF Ledlum joins to play the three, Ellis might be a better fit than Knecht. Ellis is a 1/2 combo, and Knecht might have trouble guarding the two (or anyone) very well.

We have ample room for a guy who can get and make shots. That skill is sorely lacking.  The one who doesn't fit is DeLoach.  Given the rest of the roster there just isn't a place for him.  If he ever got more than a handful of minutes, something has gone horribly wrong.

Obviously the staff is interested for a reason. Maybe he is part of a position recruiting board and he is second or third on the position list. We seem to have gone all in on the portal to address our needs. We have four spots to fill and we are looking at multiple players to fill them. I don't necessarily get it, but the staff knows way more than me.

I get the defensive concern with Knecht but you still need players that can put the ball in the hoop, and you can scheme around 1 weak defender.

That Twitter account is classic. People have been doing this with mlb and nba free agency for some time. 
 

You tweet a bunch of rumors as fact - some of them will hit, so you can say you have sources. Then you delete the tweets that were wrong. So when you do the same thing next year, people go back to your tweets and say “wow look what this Twitter account got right!”

I definitely think there are random people out there who find things out and break news. But no one has sources everywhere.

If we worry if Knecht can defend B1G athletes shouldn't we also worry about Ledlum being able to?  His tape is against Ivy League and he's not exactly an elite athlete himself.

We're not going to find a perfect player in the portal, and still have to score points.

Bingo. 80% of defense is just hustle. You hustle and you'll be in pretty good shape. Not everyone can't score. And for the past however many years, we've been begging for dudes who can get buckets that play the 2-3 spots... Ledlum and Knecht are those dudes and we are worrying about their defense instead. We have XJ at the point of attack and about to have Ware to clean up anything in the paint. I think we will be fine defensively. No reason it wouldn't be a Top 40 defense.

I don't know how to react to your newly acquired optimism.   Are you sure you're not an LCS clone?   lol

Another visit on top of the already scheduled Deloach one?

Yes, I still don't think Deloach makes that visit after Tuesday

Not saying I don't want him, but it's a head scratcher with having Ware/Sparks.

maybe a combo of sparks and Deloach was the idea if we missed on Ware or Shedrick?

Was the only other scheduled visit DeLoach? And you expect him to cancel if (when) a couple of announcements are made tomorrow?
