Have a hard time thinking Woody goes with an Ike or Payton type big. He already has something similar in Malik and my guess (or maybe hope) is that he is looking for a more mobile big. Someone closer to a Noah Clowney or Arrinten Page type with some versatility.

Ike maybe, he could become a high level player. Payton is not the kind of player woody or we should want. No disrespect to him but we don’t need another Durr situation

Jake Heidbreder, 6'5" guard from Air Force.  Two years of eligibility left, started both years at Air Force.  Leading scorer from Air Force.  Volume three point shooter.  Averaged 15.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.  Shot 49/39/87.  Originally from Indiana, played at Floyd Central.

Shooting is great. I wonder if he is a good enough athlete for what we need

Interesting that we have yet to hear anything regarding any IU players entering the portal. Did Woody ask them to wait or maybe they are not as anxious to leave?

They usually have a meeting this week and then mass exodus after the meeting. That's kind of what I have noticed under Woodson in the limited time the portal been happening

Compared to Kopp, he may give up a couple inches but he has to be more athletic.

Yep. Exit interviews and then decisions are made. Going to be interesting to see who enters. I think the common thought is Duncomb is gone and Bates/Geronimo may be gone. I’m probably in the minority but I still believe in Tamar and hope he sticks it out

Definitely more athletic than Miller. But I don’t want more athletic than Miller, I want substantially more athletic than Miller. Shooting is important but we need + athletes in the worst way

I dont understand this situation as far as transferring would go? Is he not under an obligation to the Air Force?

Once you enter your Junior year, you are.  Prior to doing so you are not.

Thank you, I wasn't for sure how that works.

IIRC, David Robinson had a big decision to make back in the day.

I think it depends on the role the player has.  It would be nice to bring in guys who are both shooters and great athletes would be nice, but really good at one is probably better than just decent at both.

I would thing it’s more likely that if he does bring in a big with no ability to shoot from outside that it would likely be someone to backup Reneau.  Sparks isn’t looking to go somewhere as a backup.

If IU reaches out to either of those kids, we need to recalibrate our thinking because our assumptions about Woody’s vision of the program are flat wrong.

Kopp and Bates both were terrible, unathletic defenders which put us at a disadvantage since we play man. A defensive wing upgrade is warranted.

Oh it definitely is. Bates has shown the ability to play good defense in stretches though, we definitely need to bring someone in but I think the potential is still there for Bates

That’s a big one. Would love him in an IU uniform
