My bro-in-law is from the Winchester area and the talk ‘round town is that he wants to be at IU

I think we have a really good chance of getting him :-)

Thanks for the info on Sparks. I’m not overly excited. Hoping for some guys to spend some NIL money on!

Nothing against the kid, but what does sparks have that Michael Durr didn’t?  Not sure I see a change of program philosophy with him being the first get.  As a player to be named later, sure.

Durr isn’t close to what Sparks is.  Sparks was better at a freshman than Durr was at any point in his career.

FWIW, Sparks is a very good passer from the post.

Kaiden Shedrick from Virginia is someone to keep an eye on for IU when he hits the portal. 

He is more of the athletic big I was hoping to see us go after. He wasn't great offensively but I am hoping for us not to be a low post offensively team any longer

Mannnnn.... the Transfer Portal is like Coaching Search Lite. Sitting here constantly refreshing news from @Chris007 & the gang. Great distraction from work. I'm here for it!

If we can somehow get Ledlum.. that is just so much of an upgrade over Race.

So who does he resemble on Miami, or any of the other final 4 teams?

This. Also Sparks has a good motor if you are an intangibles guy, and I think the staff could pull more out of him, see TJD's development.

A bit more athletic, higher amount of minutes played, higher FG%, higher REB avg, higher AST avg, more PTS per game, is from the state of Indiana so understands the culture here, coached by an ex IUBB player and other differences fellow users have pointed out.

Depth of what?  If we are supposably going to a more open offense (vs a post offense), how does he give us depth?
