Kopp shot 36% from 3 and 85% from the line over three years at Northwestern. Last year with us he shot 36.1% from 3 and 86.5% from the line. We got basically exactly what we should’ve expected from him. 

That’s true. But I was responding to us evidently building him up to be more than he was as if that’s not happening with any portal shooter we are involved with now more so than we evidently did with kopp.

Lol. Building him up into something he isn’t. So exactly what’s happening with every portal “shooter” we’re involved with now? 

I haven't said any of them are great shooters.

Anyone know if we had any recruits come down for a visit this weekend? I was at Malibu yesterday and the whole Coaching staff was there. Leal was the only one of our current players I saw with them

That was likely Rich Rolf, Gabe Cupp’s Centerville teammate.

He played about exactly how he should have been expected but many expected closer to 40-42% it seems. Plus, taking and making more.

Yep, would’ve expected more volume if you’d told me he and Pstew would play as many minutes as they did. I might’ve hoped he’d have easier looks and thus hit a higher %age but I was not disappointed in that, personally.

The other dynamic I see with the transfer discussions: there’s some element of one side saying, “this guy can help IU,” and others saying “he has these flaws.” Well…I don’t know that those things are exclusive from one another. And then perhaps a third group thinks group 1 is saying so-and-so will be a star, when he’s clearly a role player, and group 3 is upset when he’s not a star.

If we are choosing between the two, give me Dennis 8 days a week.  I'm not saying either would be the one we should get, but look how excited we all were to get Kopp last year?!  How did that turn out?  Most are hoping he doesn't start next season.  Give me athleticism and a defensive junkie!

He was the American conference defensive player of the year last year.  I'm still not sure of how he fits IU, but having numerous options is a start.

A little under the radar since he hit the transfer pool at the same time Emoni Bates did, but Memphis teammate Tyler Harris also in the pool.  He's a 5'9" guard with one year of eligibility left.  Was at Memphis his freshman and sophomore year, transferred to Iowa State for his junior year, and then back to Memphis last year.  I'm assuming if he's in the transfer pool that he has immediately eligibility.

Over four years averaged 9.1 points, shotting 37/34/86.  Last year was his best year shooting wise -- 40/39/90.  While the overall percentage is low, he's a bulk three point shooter.  For his career, 676 of his 985 shots are from three.  Mostly has been a change of pace guard and instant offense off the bench.

Him and Dennis taking visits… and i want TJD back, would only really be comfortable with LD leaving. Lots to unfold these next few weeks 

I’d be fine losing Duncomb and Leal. Galloway too honestly if an upgrade is there. 

Never really wanted Gunn but he’ll be here for next year at the minimum, though I wouldn’t mind if we landed someone in his place either.
