NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

The “pushed around” line comes from watching his tape. He’s long and lanky and doesn’t finish through or punish anyone. He uses his speed and leaping ability. He seems like a good fit for Miami based on my 15 minute scout. Lol. I could be wrong, but he doesn’t look like 5 in the B1G to me.

I would assume he would be the backup 4 to Malik assuming that we get someone who can start at the 5. I am basing this on Malik working on his outside shot this summer to play the stretch 4

He wouldn’t be a 5 in the B1G.   He says he is a 4 

“Whichever team I choose is getting a high motor, highly skilled four man with a motor that never stops. I also rebound the ball really well on defense and offense and I’m an overall leader.”

This to me is IU doing their due diligence and having a back up plan just in case things fall the wrong way.    Not sure he is a priority target

It isn't just me that is getting tired of his Eeyore routine 

You can always ignore.

It’s Indiana basketball, my reactions mirror the results of the team on and off the court. I’m much better off under Woody than I was under Archie. (I turned on him after a year). Lol. I turned on Crean way earlier than most but even I thought he was “bringing us back to greatness” for a while. . I’m sure that was annoying but so was what I was watching under Tom Crean. Again, lol.

I think the program can and should be a step better than it even is now. I hope Woody can get it to the next step. I am concerned that through Woody, Nil, and other things our recruiting has started to be a struggle and underwhelming. Teams can win with less and IF Woody demonstrates that ability or any Indiana coach does I’ll seem more relaxed.

Certain coaches, Izzo, Painter, some others I don’t even follow much who they recruit because rankings don’t matter. They recruit a type and a system and that system is what wins. Woody predicates on a NBA style that prioritizes talent and individual skill so I think getting the best talent is more important to him than some of the system guys.

But the portal is wild and trying to predict what kids will do in a different situation from where they were before would be hard to predict

this kid did a heck of a job in his first year running the point for any team

Not sure why these guys are acting like your freaking out. I guess they don't like the truth and or can't see how bad this team will be next season as it is

Not IU related but listening to coaches different philosophies is interesting.  Field of 68 had some coaches on over the week and some were saying that they look for highly ranked  freshman entering the portal because you know you got 3 years left with them.  My guess is kids can and will get a waiver but I get what they are saying.

Yeah, I thought Reneau was our 4. Maybe if we don’t get who we want we slide Reneau to the 5 and this kid to the 4. But then it’s still a no because, although I LOVE the motor and the rebounding tenacity, I don’t really want a 4 that not only can’t shoot but is a bad free throw shooter. Because if he’s a “4” but his offense comes at the rim, he might as well be a 5 who wants to guard a 4.

Anyway, this is all probably an exercise in fruition because I don’t think he ends up being a Hoosier. But he did call us the Mecca, which means Adam Howard is in his ear. Lol. So….

The thing is that our roster isn't set for next year. Also with XJ, Reneau, Banks I think that is a very good start for next year.

There are legitimate reasons to be concerned about next season. We are losing a ton. Talking about needing big pieces to replace those guys isn’t an “eeyore routine.”

If you’re upset about someone not pumping incessant sunshine, you’re looking for an echo chamber, not a message board.

It is April 4th so need to worry yet. KSU had 2 players on their roster on July 1st and went to the elite 8. Also there are a lot of teams in the big ten and around the country bhas the same concerns.

Ok then just let us know when we’re allowed to start talking about our roster and we’ll all come back then. Thanks!

Re:  "as it is".......there is zero chance that the team next season consists of the current roster as it is.

Lol… what did you load that chicken sandwich with?

@Chris007 is an incredibly knowledgeable poster.  Prior to the NCAA tournament in the college bball thread, we were discussing how many 'true contenders' there were for the NCAA title this year and I believe he said something along the lines of 'what are there this year?  Maybe five or six?'.  And then we ended up with a tournament that saw a 4, 4, 5, and 9 seed in the final four.  The best opinions is and always will be that....opinions.  So I don't think I would ever go so far as to call an opinion a 'truth'.

It's funny that the older I get the more I know that I don't know.  I.e........Shedrick isn't a player I'm all that into.  But one thing I do know:  my opinion on him doesn't mean anything.  Fun to talk about it on a message board and like spirited debate, but even if I'm correct that he's not that good of a player or fit currently that doesn't mean anything in terms of what happens in the future.

Sounds good to me because it is ridiculous to be panicking this early in the process. Why not wait until the team comes back for the summer session and see what the roster looks like then

What were the dates that we got commitments from Bates and Reneau the last two years. What were the dates when the transfers we brought in committed

I just mention it because it's been a complaint by the staff. We've lost recruits because they feel like they are only being recruited by the assistants at IU. I love Woody but I know he loves his golf. 

Does this apply more to HS kids or portal or both?

I see quite literally zero people “panicking” and about a hundred posts from you talking about people panicking. If we don’t land good portal pieces then we’ll probably stink, but the past two decades of IU basketball has prepared us for that.
