I'm ecstatic about adding Ware. This height and length is something I haven't seen on an Indiana team in my time following the program, I don't think (loosely in the DJ White era and more closely in the Zeller/Dipo era).

  1. XJ - 6'3
  2. TG - 6'4 
  3. Ledlum - 6'6
  4. Reneau - 6'9
  5. Ware - 7'

Could add Knecht and Banks and CJ Gunn, three more 6'6 guys.

If we play the perimeter-centric offense many anticipate Woody prefers next season, I wouldn't be surprised if our rebounding is actually improved a bit. More threes/perimeter shots could lead to longer rebounds and if we're active without the ball could see us getting our fair share of second chance opportunities. I think/hope Reneau takes a big jump next year on his rebounding numbers. 

Did I miss something? When did we add Ledlum?

Personally speaking... working with young adults. When I have had success building rapport/creating relationships, a lot of times, that bond was initially formed by ME owning up to one of MY mistakes. Kids don't need to exiled. Connect with them! 

Maybe Kel'el Ware told CMW.. "I need a coach who I know has my back and I'll give that coach everything I've got" or something like that, ya know? 

"As I have said, son, what happens in the locker room, stays in the locker room."

Marcus Dumask (Southern Illinois) committed to Illinois.  Decent pick up.  First team All-MVC last year.  Averaged 16.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.8 apg.  6'6" small forward.  On3 lists him as the 77th best portal player.  247 hasn't rated him yet (they seem to miss some of the portal guys) but describe him as a very skilled offensive player but limited athlete.  Good passer and cutter.  Said he was a lot like Sam Griesel but better three point shooter (35% from three last year for Dumask).

LOL.

تويتر \ Jeff Goodman على تويتر: "Michigan. NIT."

I've grown to like Goodman (he's awesome on F68..has been pro IU since his daughter goes here) but man was he and many others wrong. Woodson has improved everything since he arrived..why this next year is huge. Can't take a step back. Doesn't look like that'll happen.

I know some (maybe the older crowd, sorry not that young myself haha) don’t buy into the whole social media and instagram thing but there is a pattern there on instagram.

Ware was following a few guys like X and Trey but then followed a lot more (managers etc) and then committed. 

Ledlum was following a few but in last hour just added a ton more IU guys like Hulls, more players etc. he is going to commit soon. No other players or other teams being added. 

Knecht just started following X, Cupps and Trey but also a couple Oregon guys. Have to assume this at least means a visit is coming. 

I still say Deloach is more than 80% based on his social media. Will see if he backs away but he has known about Ware and started following him a few days ago. 

Take it for what’s it’s worth. Not much haha 

Honestly it gives you a good idea. As long as they aren't following guys from other schools.

Texas guard in portal. Former 5 star

Certainly played well enough that someone will look to bring him in and start him.  In Texas' rotation, averaged 4.6 ppg in 11 mpg.  Shot 41/33/79.  The 41% number is higher than it looks because over half of his shots were threes.  Shot 51% inside the arc.

I think people should put away their expectations of a perimeter oriented 4-out offense.  
 

With that said, if Ware works out and Reneau improves (which I expect), that is a pretty talented front court.
