He clogs the lane too much for our fan base

But he delivers and his range is endless.

I've seen a couple mentions here of Furst. I don't have time to go through all the  posts -- is he considering leaving the wonderland that is West Lafayette? Or is that just speculation? 

Sorry that was me just starting a rumor. Kind of. If you see him in the portal today, then I think you will see him become a Hoosier.

Joseph Girardi III, Syracuse.  Four year starter.  6'3", 16.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists last year.  Shot 40/38/86.  Volume three point shooter, made 177 out of 452 the past two seasons.

In 2018, Joseph Girard III cemented himself as New York State’s all-time leading scorer. His team, the Glens Falls Indians, captured its first state championship in basketball to accompany its first two titles in football, both of which Girard quarterbacked. He averaged about 50 points per game both his junior and senior seasons of basketball

He and Malik would be interesting...He'd have to get much better IMO. I just want, as the cool kids say, dudes. I'd welcome him, but gotta get more than him.

Another intriguing option.

We're brining in at least 3 transfers probably more like 4

For sure. I just hope he wouldn't be the best one. If he hits 3's I think he could be a solid addition.

I don't think he will be. Just a piece of the puzzle

I just saw Caleb Furst’s girlfriend with an apartment manager taking a tour of Evolve. I mentioned how strange that was to some nicely dressed guy I met at Kroger named Billy.

Have you been pm-ing with Trish?

The portal window is very narrow as compared to the time you have in recruiting high school kids.  Number of teams still playing and who knows who has yet to enter the portal.  We're seemingly going pretty hard after a couple of names already.  Pretty fine balancing act to not fill your roster too quickly and miss out on some new names that will appear in the next week or two.  Hopefully our staff has some really good intel and we don't pull the trigger too quickly and regret it later.

Indeed.  And further complicated by possible NBA departures.

Again, reaching out could be nothing more than hey, how are you?  Crappy  weather for March isn't it?

Low major to look out for possible major improvement next year might be Austin Peay.  9-22 this year, hired Northwestern State's coach.  Been there just three days I believe and already brought in his old team's best player DeMarcus Sharp as well as Quinnipiac's best player, Dezi Jones.

Girard can really shoot it but at 6’1”, would tie Cupps as the shortest player Woodson has recruited. In the scenario where IU has another out-transfer or two, I can see the fit as a 6th man microwave shooter who can play backup PG. A little on the small side for what IU wants to do on defense.

Highly doubt Girard goes anyplace where he is coming off the bench.
