FWIW, Battle hit 53% of his catch and shoot threes last season.  Would say his low shooting percentage from deep last year was a pretty big reflection of the lack of talent Minnesota had.  20-21 and 21-22 Battle would be really good to have.  Hope On3 is correct.

I looked at his stats for each year and last year was the outlier so I believe you are correct.

That skill is why I think he’s a better fit next to X and Love(if IU’s able to land him) than what Ledlum would be.

That’s a great point. Definitely seems more like the type of offense that CMW is wanting to run as well

 Struggle a little with Battle. I don’t want him as a wing at all. He doesn’t have the 1st step to get downhill against any decent on ball guy and he’s willing to settle for tough looks. But, as a small ball, floor spacing 4 in an open system I think he’s a really useful piece. I just don’t want him playing with the ball in his hands. Plus, I’m not sure he’s a good enough rebounder to hold up the way I’d want to use him and he’s gonna have some tough defensive matchups. But he’s such a tough kid and he brought effort in a really tough situation every time I saw him. So, if Woody hooks him up, I’ll need to swallow hard, but eventually I’ll be happy to have him.

Sounds like you're describing Miller. He would be a nice step up from Miller at the 3. Better shooter, rebounder and I think a better overall defender.

Zoom with Love began about 45 minutes ago, give or take. Interesting to see what kind of reports we hear after it.

I’m thinking that if it goes well we will hear about it with an announcement for IU within the next 48 hours.

If there’s no announcement within the next two or three days, I will take that as a bad sign.

I wonder how much love is going to be waiting to see who else we get.  Even with Love we would still need a piece or two. If I were him I would wait and see

Especially with Dennis Gates and Mizzou right around the corner

I do not have access to Peegs, however, their  thread is very hot right now

I feel like this zoom call might be more about “agreeing to terms” than about basketball.

Somewhat. Actually, I wish Kopp had been able to do what I’d want see them do with Battle, serve in that small-ball 4 role, but he just couldn’t do it. He was an objectively poor rebounder and he couldn’t hold up defensively against any size at all. I’m confident Battle would be better, though I’m not sure good enough. And.I wouldn’t want Battle in weave actions. I don’t want him receiving DHO’s. I want a more explosive guy in that role.

I think I agree with you. It sounds as if it's between IU and Mizzou. Sounds like he won't be visiting any campus which makes sense.

If that’s the case, get a 5 (Dickinson, Shedrick) and let’s roll.

Could be an epic dumpster fire or could be a lot of fun. I know I’ll be watching.

You got it, and from the tea leaves it sounds like Shedrick is the guy.

Love, Battle, Shedrick, Sparks, and TBD is the direction the portal may be blowing for CMW.

Breaking: per Rabjohns, Woodson had the cat filter on the Zoom with Caleb Love. We've now lost Caleb. This will go down in IU recruitment lore with Crean/Kyrie Irving.
