it was stating how silly it is to compare a previous coaching staff/player to a completely different coaching staff/player.

We’re discussing a player, not staffs. 
 

there are a bunch of players who weren’t good shooters who had one good season. Including our own Trey Galloway. But you’re not interested in seeing that because you just engage in rah rah feel good platitudes instead of actual discussion.

Why's that

He posts wild stuff to be funny or troll. He said Oats was going to Maryland along with a bunch of other outlandishly incorrect things.

We need a good defensive guard and good guards around pack. If we do that and he’s our 3rd option we have a solid team

If you sign Pack and have DeVries and Bailey in the lineup…need to start figuring out a way to clone prime Pippen and prime Rodman and need to figure it out now lol.

He makes the comment about his affinity for the color red….but comments he’s committed…don’t know better delete though if he’s possibly just throwing crap out…

Yea the affinity for color red was a bit strange and made me think he was just throwing out what he’s read.

Yeah, Pack Is overrated around here imo. Hasn’t proven to be much of a winner. He can shoot it pretty well. I’ll give him that. If you combine Enright and Pack plus 2 more inches and 25 more pounds then you have a heck of a guard. Lol. He’s fine I guess.

DeVries is fine guarding a 4 imo. It's when he gets switched onto a wing or guard that it becomes a problem.

Minus being the starting PG on a FF team of course.

Which available guard, “not a I wish we would have landed x,y,z” would you like us to land? Just curious which guard would check the boxes.

Gotcha! Very recent recruiting tweets were the actual school those guys went to, whether he knew or not, I doubt it.

Gillespie, Dent, Conwell. Daryn Peterson, maybe Maleek Thomas.

Maybe Rodney Rice.

Portal doesn’t excite me much this off-season. Lots of dudes that are sticking with their current teams I like a lot. Maybe we can pry some of them free.

Pack is pretty solid, I suppose. He’s small. Not sure he guards great. He might be fun offensively.

Probably some 6’3, 6’4” dudes I haven’t dug into that I’d like. Tough, athletic guards.

Here's the first part of my initial response:

"He shot 43% from 3 with 3 attempts a game his last year at Drake, what do you mean "he hasn't made a ton of shots"?? The form looks good and he's proven he can do it an entire season. If he was hurt last season I'd say that's a valid excuse for a dip in the numbers."

Let's get back to the basketball discussion.

Responded to for which you have nothing.

Cooper Flagg to IU confirmed 

[Paye32 111]

I think Nijel Pack would be an outstanding addition for the Hoosiers...

I asked for your wishlist of available guards and not “I wish we would have landed x,y,z”  and the first three guys you named have already committed and 4th isn’t in the portal…LOL

So hopefully we land one of the two “maybe” guys (Rice or Thomas) ?

I strongly agree with the need to get some good perimeter dudes but don’t really see a “flawless” solution.

Thomas is at Arkansas. Yeah, it’s not ideal. Maybe Pack is the answer. Maybe we can offer a guy like (Bruce Thornton for example-I don’t this this staff has any connections there) from another school and fill the spot that way. You know the big spenders are likely to pull some moves like that over the next couple weeks. Why not us. Maybe when our other 2 assistants get named a better candidate arises.

So, the Bailey kid hasn’t committed officially…correct?  Just one guy throwing that out there to possibly screw with folks?

It came from Trilly on his discord and people are running with it.  He said Bailey to IU.
