Kentucky’s version of Lander for fans.   Local kid that last year BBN were screaming for him to get more PT.   Same this year when he came in and hit some shots.   I like his game a lot though 

Worthy player! Can really shoot it

Tom Crean as the new assistant and Clifton comes back to finally get to play for him. All is well

I still remember him being in a mock draft NBA site before he played a minute at IU.

But he is better than Durr.

What lead to his minutes drop this year?  Going from 14 mpg to 6.4 mpg with a lot of DNPs seems strange.  I know he didn't shoot it well when he was in, but UK lacked perimeter shooters this year.

No defense.

Hunter's coach just left XU... add Damezi and will would only be missing Smith, Durham, and Romeo from 2017 & 2018 classes.

Once we or any program for that matter knows definitely that it has slots to fill, do you attack the portal immediately or wait to see what other names enter the portal in the next few weeks and run the risk you lose a kid you might have otherwise snagged because he commits elsewhere?

You start working back channels like nobody’s business to get an educated guess on who “miiiiight” just be looking for a new home, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

I feel relief seeing this. Now there a couple of more players I want to see transfer.

Absolutely. College coaches are making calls to high school coaches and AAU coaches (and have been for over a month) to say if player X was interested in leaving his current situation I'd love to have him. 

The reverse has been happening too. High school coaches are are still close to players that have graduated and AAU coaches still connected to a player are making calls to college coaches to see if there's interest in a player.

Yes.

I think we all assumed.  Not a big talent loss but we will need some big bodies, especially depending on what Race and Trayce do.

I know he had some pretty bad health issues this year.  Missed two months.

Brandon Murray (LSU) in the portal.  Was a true freshman last year.  6'3" guard, averaged 10 ppg, 3 rebounds, 2 assists in 31 minutes.  Shot 34% from three (40 of 119).  Was a four star player out of high school on 247 (82nd overall).

To me it seems that players that play in the south seems like they stay somewhere in the south or go to the big 5 (UK, Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, Kansas).

just seems like kids who choose these SEC and PAC-12 schools don’t want to move in the Midwest winters.  May be wrong, just thinking out loud.

Not a fit for IU, but another player in the portal from LSU -- Xavier Pinson.  Averaged about 10 points and 5 assists.  Not a good shooter.

Keon Edwards transferring from Nebraska......this will put him on his third team in his three years of college.  He was a four star, top 100 player out of high school.  Went to DePaul and only got into 5 games, playing a total of 39 minutes.  Transferred to Nebraska this past year.  Appeared in 19 games, logging just about 100 minutes.  Probably a kid that would have benefited from transferring down instead of laterally.
