Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[go iu bb 9,239]

Man, people sure do overreact a lot. I wanted Conwell to come to IU but we missed on him. Bummer. 

There are other good players in the portal. The portal is also open for almost 3 more weeks and players are still entering. 

I really hope CDD finishes staff soon, since their previous connections with players could certainly help. I'm guessing at the end of the offseason we'll have 7 portal players and 4 freshmen. I think we'll go with 11 players on the roster next year.

 Yeah, we wanted him, but we set a number we were not going to go above because we have options that are close to the same in the coach's eyes. We'll see if it works out. 

Discipline in negotiations and valuations is a good thing. Let's see what happens.

About the response I expected given you can't refute any of it. 

because the whole post was stupid... You have zero clue about Nijel Pack lol ... just like you have zero clue about Stirtz. 

You literally called Pack a cancer and are trying to claim HE made two coaches retire. Absolutely asinine. 

 

 

As mentioned .... if Pack is your 4th+ best player, your team is REALLY good. proven by his avg 16p in a tourney when his team went to the F4.

And a classy kid with a really good shooting stroke from distance.

I'm not CDD, but if he chose to go after Colvin I'd be really happy.

And having been coached by Painter, you know the kid is going to have solid fundamentals. We can hate on Purdue forever here, but Painter can coach. I have zero idea if Colvin would be interested, but he definitely has a lot of upside.

It’s a little exhausting getting lectured as a fan of this program . What do you expect when all we have to go on is a consistent barrage of rumors and vague statements we have to decipher. The program has announced officially nothing since hiring thier HC. 
 

I mean look at Texas . They played a a tourney game , fired thier HC , hired a HC , and announced an entire staff and landed a portal committ yesterday . 
 

I don’t think just one bit of official good news is too much to ask in today’s hoops environment. 

[Bowhunter 3,121]

Let’s just admit we lost Conwell to Louisville. They had a better season and have the pieces to win right now. 
 

I would take a look at Miles Colvin not as a replace for Conwell , but a solid get on the roster.

He's a total cancer. Gotten one coach fired (Weber) and had another (Laranaga) quit in the middle of the year. Is 70-68 in games he's played in spanning 4.5 seasons, buoyed heavily by a 29-8 season. 

Again, hard pass. He's not taking a home town discount to come be a role player at IU. He's the OG bag chaser. NIL earnings have doubled and tripled since he accepted an $800k bag at Miami 3 years ago.

I view it like this….its a money game. Fill the roster with 10-12 million.  I think the numbers so far are like this.  We need to fill in the rest with the best team possible.  

1) Tucker DeVries - $2 million 

2) Trent Sisley -$600,000

 

Are you just making up those figures?

I like this kid a lot. I think he has been or is on campus now.

247 Illinois Board thinks Jaylin sellers is about to commit to them at any moment, could also help us in the Dix department

Lest anyone turn their nose up at Elyjah Freeman because he played at a D-II program, both Kentucky and Tennessee are reportedly pursuing him.

I think that is why we didn't get a commit while he was on campus because he has some legit options

Taking an educated guess as players ranked around them are getting offered and what bench players are getting in the open market.  

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 11,458]

Colvin isn't good enough. Pass 

unless he wants the same role here as Purdue

My post wasn’t reactionary. 
 

People wish-casting and having positive vibes doesn’t do squat to have good results.
