NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

How many spots to we need to replace?  And I have no idea how we recruit from the portal.  We just call them on the phone and say we want to meet them?  Are we doing that now?

1. We are guaranteed to lose three players (TJD, Race, Kopp) and I'd guess we'll lose a total of four or five. We have two incoming freshmen. So from the portal? I'd guess approximately two.
2. Hulls would be the logical role to identify possible good fits for IU, though an assistant with a connection to a player would raise that name (like Kenya did with Xavier Johnson).
3. There is also a possibility that a portal player would reach out to IU to express interest, likely through an AAU coach or family member.
4. Woody should ultimately be approving (beyond interest gauging) our outreach to a player.
5. We reach out to portal players by calling - either to the player directly or to his designated rep (AAU coach, family, etc.) Hulls would be the logical first caller, but for special players it may be an assistant or even Woody.
6. Are we doing that now? I would think...yes, very much so. Especially by Hulls and especially to gauge interest.

But he's a true point guard and is 6'1". That's our position of lowest need with X, Cupps, and Trey.

I like trey but when teams press I was not as comfortable with him handling the ball.  With X and Cupps we are pretty good but if either go down for a few games I like depth at ball handling positions.

3 for sure. I believe JG and LD are gone

I think it was well proven this year that we need more ball handlers.

We will have 50% more than currently as things stand.

Averaged 16?  That was like half of their points in Archie’s stellar offense!

Yea... I don't want Galloway as a primary ball handler anymore.

Me either. But he’d go from second to third choice next year. Reneau is quite literally the only post defender likely to return.

Jayden Taylor from Butler is in the portal played at my high school didn't know who he was when he went to Butler but then that tells you how good our boys team has been.

And calling him a post defender is using the term "defender" very loosely.

Just saying, we need more guards and less dudes clogging the lane.

Transfers are yet to inspire too much hope. We’ve publicly reached out to at least 3 by my count. None of them are bigs. Colored me concerned and interested, but also hopeful there is an ace or 2 up someone’s sleeve.
