The shock was the arm sling he was in at the press conference.  Could explain why he was passive at the end if the Washington St 

Oh, missed that. He had been struggling with that shoulder for weeks now, along with I believe a bum ankle. I had forgot about those.

AJ Storr in the portal

Wisconsin going from a glut of guard talent to still 3 good guys. This might be addition by subtraction for them.

Storr was their best player so don’t think so.

Best scorer, but never met a shot he didn’t like. Loved to dominate the ball. When he was on, it was pretty good. But he could stall out that offense at times too.  They’ll still come back with Klesmit, Hepburn and Blackwell. That’s a good backcourt.

At this point, have any Florida Atlantic players went into the portal?  Think May will likely really struggle in his first year at Michigan if he isn't able to get any of his former players to follow.

Not according to the portal lists published on On3 and 247sports.

I don’t know, but I would definitely take Johnell Davis if he was willing to listen to IU. Originally from Gary, IN.

Some really good names announced today.  Among them:

Washington State's Myles Rice in the portal.  6'3" freshman  Averaged 14.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists.  Shot 44/28/81.  Only 36 of 131 from three but if he develops a three point shot could be lite.  Good defender.

Zion Harmon, Bethune Cookman.  5'10" sophomore guard.  Two year starter, averaged 14.1 points, 2.1 reb, and 3.4 ast over two seasons.  39/30/88 shooter..

Former IU target Adou Thiero, Kentucky.  6'6" wing (listed as 6'8" on Kentucky's roster but 6'6" on On3).  Made 19 starts at Kentucky this past year.  In 21 minutes per game this year averaged 7.2 pts, 5.0 reb, 1.1 ast, and 1.1 blocks.  Shot 49/32/80 although had limited attempts from three (7 of 22).  Did put up 16 points and 13 rebounds against Kansas early in the year.  Two years eligibility left.

Micah Peavy, TCU.  6'8" wing.  10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists.  46/31/61.

North Texas guard Jason Edwards.  6'0" guard.  19.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists.  43/35/81 and a volume three point shooter (84 of 240).

Gotta assume he’s probably following Smith to Stanford. This was his 3rd yr out of HS because he had an injury redshirt as a true frosh and missed his 2nd year while being treated for lymphoma. Comes back and is very good. Easy kid to root for.

He’d be one of the worst defenders in the B1G. Nice story down there. Maybe a bench guy. But I won’t sweat it if Michigan gets him.

Thiero is interesting because:

  1. He is an elite strength 6'6" undersized four with a very good motor that almost chose IU two years ago.
  2. He is therefore an on-court exact replica of Jordan Geronimo, though he's slightly better at being that player.

If I remember his deal correctly, part of Thiero's original appeal was that his Dad is 6'10" and he still had open growth plates so might well get significantly taller. So UK listing him at 6'8" might be correct. Either way, I don't really see the fit with this roster. But a lot of UK fans REALLY like that kid and are mad at Cal for not being able to retain him, which is not the usual mindset with that crowd. That says something for him. Will be an interesting follow.

He's a good kid that plays his @$$ off, and he's provided and would continue to provide some program continuity. I can see why UK fans are far more pissed at losing him than Wagner or Edwards.
