For sure , but my info doesn't come from ISU , IU , or national side of things. Like I said I'm no insider just happen to know a little more in this particular situation randomly. 

But really again you can put two and two together about who pushed so hard for IU to sign guys like Rice and Carlyle over Mid-west/ Indiana connected guys when you look at assistants where they are from then look at where guys Rice and Carlyle are from . It shouldn't be too shocking 

Regardless it was a trash system for some like Conwell and he made the right choice.  No one that is a stud 3 pt shooter is going to voluntarily sign up for a system that was in the 300’s on attempts and makes.   Every school competing against them was always going to show the data.    Doesn’t matter now.   IU has a new coach partly because of it

I’m intrigued by Nick Davidson, he was the first name Rabby brought up, modern big 

He looks like a 4.

Someone explain Enright to me- I know they were together at Drake but a guard that shot 63% FT and 32% from 3 this year, pass for me until proven differently 

While certainly note a star....Enright would help set the culture at Indiana and be a valuable depth piece.

Familiarity I would guess.   My opinion he isn’t a starting B1G guard.   He is a dog on defense and one of those guards other fans will hate however offensively he can get out of control and is a streaky shooter.   Seems like a kid that will put in the work to get better though.

Would you say a solid bench piece?

I would! The type of guy that provides a spark and can give you bigger minutes if you need them. You don't rely on him for anything other than energy and getting the ball where it needs to go.

Anthony Leal?

It was explained to me Leal with a better shot. Also will be able to help teach the system to the newer guys and add some leadership.

From a 10,000 foot view I suppose, but Enright is more of a true point. He won't be happily throwing his body at post players or anything. From an energy standpoint, absolutely.

To start out definitely.  Could he earn a starting job? I think so.    Dude can be a menace on the defense side.   I’ve seen him frustrate the heck out of some guards

How about..... Javon Small, Ryan Conwell as your 1+2? and build from there. Mercy 

Poor personnel decisions have doomed us for awhile. 

Warms my cold heart to come onto the forum this morning to see everyone talking about players and basketball again. Excited about next year!

Thanks for opinions on Enright. I did notice his high assist numbers. I don’t need a point guard that scores a lot to be happy, but I would like someone who’s efficient when he does shoot. His numbers didn’t scream efficiency to me. 6.2 assts/3.1 TOs is ok, not great. 
Other than familiarity with the system, seems like a kid we already have had in the program- Cupps.

So sounds like we are good with DeVries and Enright. Anyone else yet?

Sounds like Goode is on board if he can get that year of eligibility:

Well he seems like a significantly better shooter than Cupps, his A/T ratio is considerably higher, as well. They don't seem all that alike to me. They are both about 6ft and white though, it seems their similarities stop there. 

Cupps eFG%- 44%-- not good

Enright eFG% for his career--- 52.8% very good

from last year 

highlights so probably going hit 100 % of the shots 

[EasyEJay]

Again I think its about the pieces you put around Enright. I get it , its been difficult watching Purdue have Smith for the last 3 years and us not really having a true scoring PG since Yogi but again we probably already have our leading scorer with Tucker. 

to compete at Big ten Level we really are in need of an athletic scoring wing at the 3. Dix would fit that or a Jaden Akins / AJ Storr at  Wisconsin type of player. pair that with a knock down 3 pt shooter at 2 and were rolling 

Enright would be a solid starting PG IMO . Experienced, takes care of the basketball, and can play defense cutting off straight line drives and drawing charges

Definitely a better shot than Leal.  Looks like an IU type kid to me.

The whole of top tier teams wants Nick Davidson. He will pick his place and name his price.

Barnett was with him at Nevada so might be a connection can use when recruiting him if Barnett is at IU but yeah that kid will get to pick wherever he wants to go

I believe someone said his brother was an IU grad too.
