Bleacher Report ‘24 mock draft with Kel’el at 10 and Mack at 30. 

That's a really well researched list.

Of note; the entirety of B1G players in the top 50 projected draftees?

• Kel'el Ware at #10
• Xavier Booker MSU at #29
• Mack Mbako at #30

Given what a mess Ware was by the end of last season, that kid was broken, if he’s legitimately in the lottery next spring, kids should be taking a number and standing in line to play for Woody.

It's a no-lose, win/win for IU recruiting.

• If he fails? Ware has been the next Skal Labasierre for two teams and is a blip on the radar.
• If he succeeds we now have JHS and Ware as examples that Woody's system is magical for both bigs and guards.

Now there is a name I haven't heard in awhile...I assume he is out of the league now.

Unless you consider "the league" the Puerto Rican league, yes, he's been out of the NBA for many years.

Parker Stewart and Michael Durr played in and lost their first round game In TBT. Both were bad. Durr missed 2 bunnies in Elam ending where I don’t think he jumped an inch.

It's like #4 was avoided at all costs between '52 and '87 lol. Chris Rowles is the only one I didn't recognize from my years ('71 and on)

It appears he sat out last year with a shoulder injury and will still be a freshman.  Also, you would think it would be harder to transfer from a military school because you have to stay committed for so many years.

Payton Sparks is going to be very, very popular with Hoosier Nation.

People are going to freaking love him *the enforcer*
