Tulane has a couple of intriguing players that entered draft that aren’t shown as top 100 prospects per ESPN. Neither have entered the portal. 
 

Jaylen Forbes 6’5 192 18.5pts 5rbs 43/86/39 on over 7 - 3 attempts/GM

Sion James 6’6 220 9.7pts 4.8rbs 3.4ast not a great 3 shooter but shot 31% on over 2.6 attempts/game

WARNING:

If this kid goes into the portal, I strongly advise all not to google and play "RayJ video" on their work computer.

 

Let's not go down that rabbit hole. Today's kids have no idea.

I selfishly want the ncaa to put in a NIL reporting requirement so we can see the numbers. I can’t figure out if we’re princesses or paupers in that regard. Have to assume we have money so maybe it is an allocation thing. 

From what we heard entering last year, Illinois basketball had the most NIL money in the Big Ten followed by Indiana.  Illinois brings in some talented transfers but Underwood does rub some players the wrong way.

Wow.  Everyone had him pegged for Notre Dame.

Jaylon Tyson vising Kansas this weekend.  Played at Texas as a freshman (for one semester before transferring),  Texas Tech as a sophomore.  Looks like he is trying to play for every Big 12 team.  Ranked 36th in the class of 2021.

Hmmmm........

Tanner Holden enters the portal.  Was supposed to be a huge get for Ohio State last year.  Transferred from Wright State where he averaged 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 1/2 assists.  Was in the rotation for Ohio State but saw just 13.6 minutes per game, averaging 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds.  6'6" wing.

He hasn't shot bad from three -- career 36% shooter -- but does not take many of them, only 131 in four years.  Although he played sparingly, he shot well -- 47/50/86 (only took 14 three point attempts).  From what I've read, it's believed he didn't play more because of his defense.  Might be worth a look.

I’ve been bored so I’ve looked at the list of kids who are most likely to withdraw from the NBA draft and guessed on who then might also transfer. Didn’t consider any that will return to a good team. Here are the list of names I find intriguing and a few stats  

Dillon Jones - Weber State 6’6 235 - avg almost 17 & 11 last year. Shot 31% from 3 last year but 35% year before.

Justin Powell - Washington State 6’6 205 - would be 4th school in 4 years. Shot over 42% from 3 on over 5 attempts per game

Zyon Pullin - UC Riverside 6’4 205 - avg 18/4/4 last year. 39% from 3 but only took 2.3/game 

Ithiel Horton - UCF 6’3 200 - former Pitt teammate of Xavier. Shot 35% from 3 last year but is a career 38% on close to 6 attempts per game 

Brandin Podziemski - UCSB 6’5 200 - former Illini from IL. Avg almost 20/9/4 last year. Shot 44% from 3 on almost 6/game 

Jordan Dingle - Penn 6’3 200 - avg 24pts and shot over 35% on almost 8/game from 3.

Casey Morsell - NC State 6’3 196 - avg 11/5 and shot over 41% from 3 on 5.6/game

He’s about to turn 26. His freshman season at Coppin St was Tom Crean’s last year in Bloomington.
Jakai Newton was 10. I love this.

7 years is not enough.  I went to IU in 1969.  Left in December 1970.  Entered the military.  Went back to IU in 1975.  Graduated in 1977.  Went to Madison WI and worked.  Went to UW in Engineering.  Graduated in 1982.  

That is three decades.  I have over 200 undergrad credit hours.  2 BS degrees.  Business and Civil and Environmental Engineering.  Retired when I was in my mid 50's.  

There were extenuating circumstances.  I keep trying to tell myself.  

I Don't Wanna Grow Up...Tom Waits  Tom Waits - "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" - YouTube

I saw Tom Waits and Leon Redbone in Madison in the late 70's.  And Jefferson Airplane, BB King, and the Byrds back in 1970, I think...at IU...at the old 10th street stadium next to the main library.  Missed the Who at AH...dang.

I'm not worried about IU basketball this coming season.  It's going to be fun.  Put me in coach.

You know things are slow when even our most enthusiastic posters haven't much to say and our insiders have no insight into what's going on lol

You think we would hear about an upcoming visit or something. Everything seems hush hush.

Staff will be on the road again this weekend for the second evaluation period.  EYBL in Phoenix.  3SSB in Bryan, TX.  UAA in Rock Hill, SC.  Would expect visits to resume after this weekend is over.
