Dude he just had his worst shooting numbers, was a bench player for a non tourney team, and had an 8 PER.  If he wasn’t a Bloomington kid, people would be saying WTF.  Let’s be real here.  

I would. I have watched Connor play A LOT of basketball. I'm a huge fan. 

He's not a starter here, but he's like the shooting version of Leal, oddly enough, they played together in HS. We would have had very few bench players the last decade with more experience and functional ability than CH, but it sounds like he's going elsewhere, anyway. Good for him. 

He's also VERY athletic. Big time leaper

Sounds like IU will not be going after Conner

Good.

Had his chance last year.

Needs to go down a level.  Not a high major player.  

I’m afraid we might figure this out the hard way with a couple of kids this year.

There is validity to it.  Some players have trouble going up a level.  Different types of players.  It’s like having a D2 player play a D1 and then a D1 play an NBA player.  Different levels to this.  It’s why a D1 player can’t beat Scalabrine.  He still holds people scoreless in his old age.

I understand but we have 4 players right now.  No need to think our whole roster is going to be mid major players.

Also think there’s a lot going on that we aren’t aware of. If 4/5 players are truly coming within the week that’s a lot of people we don’t know about. Hell, we didn’t even know about Wilkerson until very last second. These next few weeks should be fun. 

As far as the 4/5 player coming, Eric from HH posted on peegs that he spoke to some others who were on the call and they don't remember CDD saying it that way. Seems like this is probably a good example of telephone, like we often see on message boards.

So it seems like that isn't going to happen in the timeline mentioned in the video.

Well I think we get Wilkerson and Freeman right.  That’s a low major player and a D2 player.  

 

Enright not a mid major

Sisley not a mid major.  

DeVries not a mid major 

Bailey is a mid major 

I don’t think anyone is saying they all will be.  It’s just a chance we could get some duds.

I would love it if that happened

When he gets that extra year, he can play that WR slot and be that deep threat.  I can dig it.

I'd probably just play him at QB lol he was pretty good. 

He probably could have started at a place like Hanover or Franklin at QB.

I was thinking with his height since he could get those higher passes over the DBs.  He can get in shape for the MBB.
