Demo Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 43 minutes ago, Stuhoo said: Thiero is interesting because: He is an elite strength 6'6" undersized four with a very good motor that almost chose IU two years ago. He is therefore an on-court exact replica of Jordan Geronimo, though he's slightly better at being that player. If I remember his deal correctly, part of Thiero's original appeal was that his Dad is 6'10" and he still had open growth plates so might well get significantly taller. So UK listing him at 6'8" might be correct. Either way, I don't really see the fit with this roster. But a lot of UK fans REALLY like that kid and are mad at Cal for not being able to retain him, which is not the usual mindset with that crowd. That says something for him. Will be an interesting follow. lillurk, Stuhoo and IUc2016 3 Quote

I can see why UK fans are far more pissed at losing him than Wagner or Edwards. lillurk 1 Quote

I'm not saying he's going to go and average 12-14+ ppg right away next year, but I do think his game will translate pretty well in the Big East. With another offseason of hard work and if Holtmann has any decent development chops for guards, I could definitely see Gunn being a contributor/rotation player with a scoring focused role.

steubenhoosier Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 Is the guy from Evansville anything like the Alabama big that transferred from S Dakota State? If close, he would be a great addition Quote

Not super familiar with the UE player but it’s a bit of a trade off — Nelson’s listed at 6’11”, and has pretty good handle and athleticism for his size, but is a hair under 30% from 3 on > 300 attempts. So he’s got size and probably length and athleticism on his UE counterpart, but also seems a clearly worse shooter. Quote

Think May will likely really struggle in his first year at Michigan if he isn't able to get any of his former players to follow. 20 hours ago, JerryYeagley23 said: I don’t know, but I would definitely take Johnell Davis if he was willing to listen to IU. Originally from Gary, IN. UM fans were very excited that Davis and Martin reposted May’s IG post about the UM job. Not sure it means a LOT but we’d probably be excited about the same thing. They also want Goldin, of course. That said, UM’s hoops NIL has been underwhelming and May didn’t get concrete commitments in that area in taking the job (as far as I can tell the idea he bought was “UM fans/alum have lots of $, look how we support fball, if you win the $ will be there”). They could transfer to join him but if they go in open minded I imagine there will be higher bidders. Quote
