NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

Let’s speculate . . .

 

We convince Love, Ware, and Ledlum to become Hoosiers. Assuming no one else leaves, with Sparks already on board that’s 4 of the five spots filled. Do you:

1) Try to get another combo guard/wing?

2) Bring in Doughty from Ben Davis?

I made a qualified defense of Doughty somewhere on here and I stand by the basics of it: if the staff thinks he’s it they’ve earned our trust.

However.

Checked his twitter and all his recent offers are middling mid-majors: EKU, BSU, etc. Sparks may be instructive here: if he’s good for a year or two, well, the portal may be our friend again.

I have not listened to it but supposedly Tyler Hansborugh said on the field of 68 podcast that Love was always in the gym getting shots up. He also said he was the only starter who voted to play in the NIT

Okay, this changed my mind. I want him now. More gym rats, please.

Agreed.

One thing this tournament should have convinced everyone of: You need athletic playmakers. With the group I mentioned previously, you have an adequate amount of post/power forwards that with the right personnel could help create some 4-out lineups that would be tough matchups for the opposition.

Maybe not the thread for this, but have to say... as someone who grew up playing college hoops 2k8, our offseason scholarship situation has me anxiously excited lol. We will learn a lot about what the staff/program is capable of/willing to do, this offseason 

Top 2 greatest basketball games ever made. Asking when NBA 2k11.

God, I miss NCAA 2K basketball.  Still am playing NCAA 2K13/14 football and am anxiously awaiting it's reboot next year.  Wish they would reboot basketball.

Ball State makes sense for him.  Seems like they just had a big man transfer.

If he's good there, we can steal him in a couple of years. :)

IU’s not recruiting Doughty.

Really wonder if the Caleb Love talk has some legs. We badly need a guard or 2. We don’t seem to be heavy on any besides TimberLake who isn’t in play. Interesting.

Seems like Battle/Ledlum are front runners for a 1 spot from our staff.

Seems like Shedrick is 1a as our starting 5 option. Ware being considered either as a push or backup option.

The guard spot and the 5 are critical.

I'd gladly take either Ware or Shedrick.  Ware wouldn't be coming off the bench and I don't think Shedrick would either, so Reneau as the 4 in a 4 out 1 in offense?  I've got a hard time seeing that.

Agree. I think Woody knows he needs a defensive big. That’s not Reneau. I’m feeling it’ll be Shedrick. I doubt Ware is a real option for us still. I personally like IKE but we don’t seem to having any traction there.

I'd be fine with Shedrick, just don't see how it works.  Either Reneau is coming off the bench again or he's the 4 but I have a hard time seeing that.  Good problem to have if Reneau develops like we hope.

Reneau is the 4.   Despite what woody says about the offense they are recruiting the  5 men to play along side Reneau.   Sparks is the backup 5 and now they are going after their starting 5 in the portal
