My guess is Ya is already cooking here

Would think so. He’ll have a solid, solid offer list. My 1st blush was Ga Tech makes a ton of sense.

Glad the point came through clearly. It's almost as silly as the original comment and almost as silly as a fourth poster commenting to keep it alive. Instead of one silly post we now have 4+ posts involving a silly post about placing blame on the fans for why a coach wasn't able to get it done.

Quite a silly string.

I don’t think they ideally want a player with 2 years left. Look at who the main 2 guys they just want after. Some missed options may have them open up more to guys with more eligibility left. It is a balancing act of not just talent someone brings but balancing classes and keeping open spots for guys this staff have been on for a few years now. 

We really do not know what Coach Woody wants relative to this portal transfer season and going into the coming season.  Sure, there are indicators.  However, because of the greater turnover being caused, in part by the portal itself, by Covid playing years being extended, and because of change of offensive schemes, and new additions, and depletions at the end of next season due to going pro...just lots of changes....I would speculate that the coaches are being very flexible in roster management and construction.  There still can be players entering the portal from our team.

I think that what we are thinking is not what they coaches are thinking and doing. I think.

Newton will depend on health…Cupps I think absolutely will…not downgrading Braden Smith but if he can impact as a freshman Cupps certainly can….maybe outside of strength I think Cupps is better at all facets of the game

Cupps is as athletic RIGHT NOW as Smith - without the benefit of summer workouts at IU. IMO he’ll be better than Smith, but maybe because of IU’s situation not have the same numbers/minutes.

Galloway hit 46.2% of his shots from 3-point range (30 for 65) which was first on the team percentage-wise. He clearly has improved his outside shooting. But he was 4th on the team in 3-point attempts. Arguably he should be taking more shots from deep. But he is the ultimate team player and maybe he was looking more to get the ball inside to TJD or set up JHS than shoot. With Kopp, JHS and Tamar Bates gone--all of whom shot more from the perimeter than he did, maybe it is time for Galloway to step up and shoot more from behind the 3-point line.

46% but 4th in attempts. I wish those numbers were broken down between catch and shoot and off the dribble 3’s.
 

 I’d wager a decent amount of money on two things: 1) the majority of his attempts were catch and shoot 3’s, and 2) his % on off the dribble 3’s would be quite a bit lower.   

 

I’d love to get him into a spot where he’s getting 4-6 spot up 3’s a game. As long as he continues to be a secondary ballhandler, it will keep his attempts down a little unless he gets better in the off-season at pulling up off the dribble.

I could get on board with this.  Shooting has improved each year and would have 2 years left.

And he can beat Tennessee. I like what I see and think he could contribute. Sign him up, make those big moves Woody!

Quite silly but here we are, still.

Minor entry.

Jonathan Lawson, Memphis.   6'6" wing, freshman.  Averaged 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game.  Decent shooter.  Shot 41% from three on 46 attempts.  Ranked 102 in the class of 2022.

I think a lot had assumed he would go there -- Cincy is his hometown and I believe his fiance leaves near.

I know it is not ironclad and others may not care but if you happen to see any ineresting instagram follows with this one it would be an indication of our interest at a mimimum

One other note on Frederick....he had stated that that he was considering a few options before ultimately choosing the portal:

1.  looking at pro options (not talking about NBA, just options)

2.  returning to Kentucky

3.  transfer portal

4.  quitting basketball altogether and getting on with his life.

I'm not sure that the injuries he has had the past two years are behind him yet, which is why he considered 4.

May I ask why?

Doesn't seem like a fit. Seems like he can get to the rim but clearly not a shooter. Honestly plays a bit like Troy Williams without the explosiveness. Not that he couldn't end up being better, but we need shooters and we already have two wings that are projects in Gunn and Banks.

This may have been mentioned before, but couldn’t Galloway play the 3 in a 3 guard lineup?  I like him better there than to try to guard a much quicker player.

That's where he belongs anyways soooo.... Yes.

[mike vannice]

So what is the consensus on Tyrin Lawrence? Good fit, possible interest? Someone to talk about?

 Liked watching this kid when they played at Kentucky. Scored 21 that game and was super aggressive off the bounce. Shot 36% from 3 on 2.8 attempts. Had shot 20.4% from 3 the year before.

Fremantle back to Xavier using his Covid year. He’s really good.  Big news to them.

Definitely someone to talk about. IUBB has started inquiring with him.
