Quick Mbako story. I took my oldest two kids to the game at the Palestra this season. We had a few hours to kill before our train so hung around in the gym afterwards and were able to work our way down onto the court while the players were coming out postgame. 

My kids got pics with every player, except I think Carlyle. The guys were so nice, all smiled, said hi and took pics with them. 

This is a small thing, but I think still shows his character. We get over to Mbako and he agrees to take a pic with my son, but refuses to actually look at the camera. 

I was waiting to take the pic an awkward amount of seconds and saying, "ok ready?", until I realized he wasn't going to look. 

We have all these pics of the kids with each players where they're all smiling and engaging, and them this random pic with Mbako where he's refusing to look. 

Again a small thing, but to me it showed his character. 

There very well may be a reason he doesn’t make eye contact. I’m sorry he didn’t look at the camera. I just wanted to put this out that there is something going on behind the scenes that explains this. It wasn’t personal.

What is this thing you speak of called a shooter? Are you allowed to have those 

I’ve seen many in the last several years, just none up close.

Tucker will be the ultimate IU/Assembly Hall “shooter jinx” tell tell. Seems like we gets guys known as shooters who can’t throw it in the ocean when they get on campus. If it happens with this kid, I don’t know what to do.

Goode helped with that this year. And Miller in year 2. But yes, it’s a thing.  
 

And while I’m at it can we get guards that hit FTs?  
 

Leal and Galloway killed me this year from the Stripe.

So whats the chances we get K Odih and Powell?

There was another alleged incident with Mgbako. Because it did not become public I won’t discuss it on the open board. People can PM me if they want.

You're not comfortable sharing the story but youre comfortable trashing his character?  Seems strange

Yes, but only one. I don't think  it's allowed to have the offense run plays to get him shots, though.

Yup. Not 100% proven but enough to where I’ve made up my mind. And the substance is off-bball topic.my conclusion is simply he should not be at IU.

So PMs only and I’m done.

I think we start Monday morning off right with the additions of his son, and Connor Enright. A starter and a solid bench piece. 

Ohhhh, who are said starter and solid bench piece you speak of?

Gtfo Mgbako.

Probably my least favorite player in 41 years of being a diehard IU fan as a student and alumni.

I’d rather have Bud Mackey on the coaching staff than Mgbako on scholarship.

You got all 5 of the reactions on this post...Well Done!

Since the jump to 15 scholarships take affect next season, I love the idea of getting some 3 star Indiana kids to come in at the end of the bench. Maybe some of those kids develop, but they will at least be bought in and care in most cases. We can't rely on that, still need to get high rated recruits from hs and the transfer portal, but after a couple seasons, it can probably give us at least 1 rotational player a year who just plays their @$$ off to wear Indiana on their jersey.

Looks like Dezmon Briscoe was offered by WVU based on his 247 page. Wonder if we’ll pursue?

I'm not convinced Enright is anything more than a back of the bench guy who shouldn't be in the rotation. But would be happy to be wrong if he comes.

What was the rumor?  (Sorry think I am in the dark on this one).

Nevermind, saw Stuhoo's offer up above.

If it’s the Culver’s incident and it’s true (rumor not confirmed to be true) then I agree he should’ve been probably kicked off with it being his second incident

Enright will probably be a bench player, but his passing game is very good.

Apparently left without paying or his card didn’t go through but he thought it did. What are we doing here?
