Sparks because why the hell not. 

Sparks is the most likely of the transfers.

Yeah, Timberlake isn’t likely. Lol. UNC makes more sense. 
 

Fine.  Find me another guard.  I’m sticking with Shedrick and Battle for the time being. And Sparks because why the hell not. 

Ok ok.  Fine Essegian.

I'll take Love... Mainly because I don't see any chance in hell of Essegian transferring. I expect Wisconsin to be back in the Top 6 of the B1G next year.

Doubt we hit on four of the our top prospects we have as targets.  These guys are getting 20 to 30 teams interested in them.

Definitely true if Geronimo transfers as is rumored. Everyone loves the next guy up. People project performance that often isn't realistic. This time last year through the summer everyone loved Bates as the starting 2 and Geronimo at the 3. Now not so much.

I didn’t.  I thought they were role players at best.

I'm looking for IU to hit on 2 guys who should start, 1 rotational guy, and a developmental guy.  Anything above that would be gravy IMO.

[Bankshot 528]

Slightly different take than “which portal players to take”…execution oriented goals for next year (some of this is coaching and style of play):

- shoot above 75% as a team from the stripe

- make more FTs than opponents make, or even take

- shoot an improved team % from the three,  to xx%

- increase 3pt FGs attempted to 15-18 per game (or more?)

- always out rebound your opponent, on both ends

- limit turnovers to 10 or less per game (season avg)

- be in top 15 to 25 on offense and defense

Now, what players/roster would get that done?

@HoosierAloha wanted to start him at the point!  It was a strange summer.

Only if he provided enough energy and effort along with intelligence and intensity with competence and competitiveness.

Last season IU took 15.3, so we were already in your suggested range.  I think the national average was like 20 per game.

Yeah we’re still shooting below avg on volume including in conference, running thw O through TJD. Should see increased outside shooting with TJD moving on. Both X and Gallo showed they can hit at a good clip but need another shooter or 2 with Kopp graduating.

Doughty asked out of his LOI. Are we serious about him?
