I understand that.  Just not sure it makes us better.   Maybe he thrives in the knockdown shooter role.  I guess , if he's a great kid and willing team guy, you can't really go wrong, so I get it on that level.  

^^this^^

For a depth piece, we're looking for a great kid and team guy that has one translatable skill.

I’d take him IF Newton is in doubt for most of the season AND IF Woody is unsure of Gunn’s ability to relieve TG during games and/or take his place in case of injury.

Hopefully  Gunn is showing promise this summer (I have no idea) because it is a little scary going into the season at the 2G with TG’s backups only being an unproven Gunn and, possibly out for most of the season, unproven Newton.

Not sure how I feel about it.  I mean, it's better than an empty space for sure for depth and injury back up.  It givens a "proven" guy at a lower level if Gunn is struggling.  I don't think he takes Galloway's spot.  His handle super tight.  He's a shooter when open, kinda.  37% fg and 35% from 3 against MAC teams.  IDK, maybe this is the move but besides a depth piece I'm not sure this does much for us.

 

He did have 1 season at Missouri so we don't only need to look at his MAC stats. Subpar 3-point percentage that season at only 30% at ~5 attempts per game. Even his FT percentage that season was way down from his other years so many that was just a bad shooting season for him? Kind of sounds like the increased competition level messed with his head to me. IDK.

He did start most of that season and played a lot of minutes as he also did at BSU. That makes me wonder how happy he'd be to play as a backup getting significantly fewer minutes.

He is a large guard at 6-5 which is what Woodson seems to like. Anyone know about his defense?

FWIW, I believe fellow Ball State transfer Jaylin Sellers transferred to UCF.  Could be the two players are tight.

I don’t think Woodson isn’t going to recruit him.  He staying firm with the current roster!

[RaceToTheTop 24,957]

Malique Ewin back in the portal (certainly not an IU prospect).  6'10" center, was ranked 118th by 247 when he entered college.  Only played spot minutes at Ole Miss.  Entered the portal in the spring, signed at South Florida and now has re-entered.

[RaceToTheTop 24,957]

Decent late (re)entry:  Ques Glover, Samford. 6'0" combo guard, more of a point.  Played at Florida his freshman and sophomore years.  Over two seasons averaged 3.7 points per game in 10.8 mpg.  Struggled from deep.  Transferred to Samford and had a breakout year in 21-22, averaging 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists.  Shot 47/31/79.  In 22-23, he suffered a torn meniscus in November which kept him out for awhile but still averaged 14.7 points in 24.6 minutes over 19 games.  Shot from deep better and shot 47/38/85 overeall.  Committed to BYU on June 2nd but has now re-entered the portal.  As a grad transfer will be immediately eligible without a waiver.

Another late entry is Mike Meadows of Portland.  Has played for Eastern Washington and Portland.  Over the last three years averaged 10.5, 10.2, and 11.0 points.  Decent three point shooter.  Has shot 43/35/86 for his career.

We have seen this comment before.  But, I do not remember having seen it said by anyone on the coaching staff.  Or, as I compose this, I do not remember seeing it reported by any of our current players.

I hope that those on the team now will excel.  Am hoping a lot about the individual team members and coaches.  Like shooting improvements, defensive excellence...new players mesh with others...you know the drill.

But why do you post the above?   Is that your opinion?  Is it also because it is late in the recruiting season?  Is it because one would think that the addition of anyone with special skills and desire and work ethic and experience really would not complement or help the team?  Is it because what we see is likely what we will get?  I do not understand that position without an explanation.

Of course you do not owe me one.  But I am curious.

Trilly Donovan has suggested Indiana/Illinois/K state as most likely options for Que Glover

Trilly:

Indiana is in a similar position as Illinois – one scholarship left and needing a guard. The Hoosiers are banking on a healthy Xavier Johnson and a big jump from Trey Galloway this season. The addition of Glover would give Indiana the ability to spread the floor and create space for all of their athletic wings.

Sounds more like a comment on fit than whether IU will get involved. Woody hasn’t shown much of a taste for small guards, but a 1 year scenario might make some sense.

It is my opinion and yes primarily because it is late in the recruiting year and I don’t think anyone would come available with a skill set above what we already have so why add someone just to fill the roster spot?  If someone does become available that is above the skill set we already have for a shooting guard only, and he does have a good work ethic and would blend with our team chemistry, I would hope CMW would go after him.  I just don’t think anyone like that will come available this late in the summer!

I would agree that it is a comment more on fit but Trilly doesn't really post in a vacuum.  He has tended to make comments on teams and fit when there is some interest.

Omar Silverio's waiver to transfer to West Virginia denied.  He will have no college eligibility left.

Played as a freshman at Rhode Island in 2018-9.  Transferred to Hofstra and played three years there through 2021-22.  Transferred last year to Manhattan for his extra covid year but decided against playing when the Manhattan coach was fired about a week before the regular season started.  I assume that he felt he would get the waiver as others have been given waiver due to coaching changes;  in almost all cases, though, the coaching change is prior to the school year beginning.  Assume the NCAA did not allow the waiver as Silverio chose to not play.

He did get to play 4 full seasons, so not too harsh, IMO. I will be glad when the COVID nonsense is over and we can focus on all the other issues destroying NCAABB :)

I understand their logic in denying the waiver.  But in terms of the four full seasons, he was injured one season and limited to 13 games.  He'll graduate playing in exactly 100 games.  X has already played in 129 and has another season to go.

Akok Akok in the portal.  6’10” stretch 4/5.  Played threes year at UConn and a year at Georgetown.  Averaged 5.- pts and 4.7 reb in 23 minutes over 4 seasons.  Shot 44/31/58.

Ques Glover transfers to Kansas State.  Would have been a decent IU fit.

If a grad transfer guard pops up I hope Woody does all he can to land him.

 With Newton undergoing another procedure, on the same knee he previously injured, we are now left with X, TG, and unproven Cupps/Gunn/Leal which is an extremely risky proposition. If X or TG go down we are in a world of hurt.
