But my middle child, he’ll sport it proudly! Love it After winning the Natty, I have had quite a few UK fans telling me how much they liked watching the IUFB win it all especially watching them kick 'Bama's a$$. LOL Quote

If he goes to the Pacers, I see him as undrafted FA as they don't have a pick later this month in the draft. Quote
Demo Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I need Samet to pick a new number. The history of big kids wearing 21 is not that good. And who wears 17? Am I forgetting someone? Class of '66 Old Fart 1 Quote

Demo Posted June 18 Posted June 18 https://www.insidethehall.com/2026/06/18/player-observations-from-iu-basketballs-practice-on-june-18/ Some Bozich observations from practice. Nothing super insightful, though I’m not sure how exciting it is to read that sub-50% free throw shooting Samet is putting up 3’s. Certainly hope that’s just drill work. Not looking for pick and pops with that kid. Quote

Not looking for pick and pops with that kid. And here are the observations from Mike Schumann. Common observations from both articles? Of the less established players, Sisley and Alex Moody very much look the part. Also, no mention of Lindsay in either article so I assume he’s dinged. Also multiple mentions about size and athleticism with multiple players, which is a welcome change after last year. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-quick-player-observations-from-open-practice/ Demo 1 Quote

Even with multiple veteran guards he’s gonna play. A lot. ronzo4IU, HoosierHoopster, Demo and 1 other 4 Quote
Stuhoo Posted June 19 Author Posted June 19 Prince Alex and media observers all kinda comped Karvala’s skill set to Troy Williams (on the court-not with some crazy weed habits). So that’s intriguing. HoosierHoopster, FortWayneHoosier and Demo 3 Quote

So that’s intriguing. Better athlete than Troy. Better vertical pop off 1 foot. Runs better. Better stop/start/change of direction. Man, I want him to hang with it. If he’s patient enough to work through the physical maturation process and develops a real competitive edge he’s got absolutely smokin’ tools as a 2-way player.

Hope we get continuity with this group and Karvala keeps developing with that athleticism Quote
