Ware is a roll of the dice. 

I've read enough to know that he's a polite, respectful kid, that admittedly, by his own account, is an extreme introvert and needs to work on his motor. But dang, he's a good kid and hyper-hyper talented.

Like the potential of Ware.

Don’t know about Dalton - what does he bring to the?

I like the idea. Possible/likely rim protector. Can shoot free throws. Thinks and kinda can shoot the 3 which is amazing. If fit, fits I’m all aboard.

Per Mike "The Daily Hoosier" Schumann, we are firmly in the mix for Kel'el Ware:

 

"Indiana is quietly making progress with one of the top big men in the transfer portal.

In fact, Oregon transfer center Kel’el Ware may be on campus in Bloomington for an official visit very soon according to sources.  He is ranked as the No. 8 overall player in the portal according to On3, and the No. 2 center."

6'6 200 and can get his own shot.

Having freakishly talented kids that aren't turds is a good (great?) thing. I would LOVE to bring in a kid like this.

In Ware's first 14 games-- 23mpg 9p 5r 1.5b 

Last 21 games-- 11mpg 5p 3r 1b

In the timeline where we get Ware, though, we get him AND Malik. Doubt we get Malik if Ware comes last year.

Let’s see how this one plays out, always thought Arkansas had the strongest lead

I get that. I don't mean logistically... I mean, how we would have been through the roof. I would still be absolutely through the roof to add him.

I'm now reminded why I don't watch Oregon games. Their court sucks.

If after a thorough process Woody believes he can find the buttons that Altman couldn’t, ok.

Big time option. Even the idea of 25/15 -30-10 split with him and Sparks is exciting because you can present 2 options at the 5 that do things differently on O and D depending on matchup.  Makes perfect sense to me.

You aren't a fan of this on first glance?

That, and you hear Walton 4 times in that video and not 1 time is he talking about basketball.

Thinking the option is intriguing, but his motor will initially frustrate the living hell out of our fans. There will be so so much venting about why he cannot do the things he is capable of doing talent-wise.

By the end of his first year at IU could be a home run though.

Maybe the motor thing?  I wouldn't complain but it gives me a bit of caution.

Yeah, that would be why Sparks would be a nice backup.  He’s strong suit is motor so if Motor is turning on Sparks could be the Spark he needs to get that butt in gear.
