I’d prefer to see Bryson go elsewhere tbh 

Makes 2 of us. I’m at the absolute bottom of the Tucker appreciation spectrum. Good kid, though. If that did happen, ok, I suppose.

no idea on the guy, and Newsweek lol but interesting to see us mentioned. He’d fit the bill as an athletic rim protector

Limited number of portal rim protectors out there but having our roster mostly filled should make it a little easier when you can tell the target who his teammates will be.  Same for any wings we might target.

I know he's been rumored to Cincinnati but I think IU could win out if comes down to us and them due to IU being able to offer substantially more. All bets are off with Duke though.

Interesting. Think he’s gonna be a stud on the defensive end and one of the rim protectors in the country. He also took 2 threes a game albeit only making 30% of them but the potential may be there

Could Adams have any pull with his international connections?

If DDv decides he wants Bryson - I'm more then good with it. Did he react the best way with the current coaching staff? Maybe not but is that really his fault? Maybe immature (he's really young) but sounds like a 'bad' situation imho.

I had my doubts but then a couple months ago I watched this interview (Kopp talks so much about himself :) ) :

Would think that would be a very expensive pull, but certainly worth exploring.

Tucker can be a legit 3 and D type of player.  He showed some flashes in limited playing time.  My biggest problem with Tucker was his fading away 17 ft jump shots time and time again.  Rarely did he square up and go straight up.  I'd gladly welcome him back to this squad.  

To be fair, Rice did that all the time too and it’s something Woodson should have nipped early in the season. IMO a better coach (hopefully Devries if he returns) wouldn’t let him take that shot.

Lol though he starts out with his decision for IU over MSU as based on the coaching staffs— Mike Woodson knowing what he’s doing and the staff he surrounded himself with. Oh Dear Lord lol

Would he fit with the rest of the roster? Definitely talented and would hold his own with the rest of the Big Ten bigs.  I'll leave this one for coach to decide. Great to see us mentioned though. And oh yeah Thomas Sorber would be perfect but my guess is he stays in the draft.

I think he fits every roster.

I can see where young guys would feel comfy with CW - he seems like a harmless grandpa. A lot of his players really loved him - maybe not for the best reasons but they did. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad he's gone but he obviously made a good first impression with some players (since he didn't do much follow through - that's probably a really good thing)

Don’t think there is validity to it. Apparently Cincy may be hiring an assistant for a two year deal for 1.6 million that he is attached to.

I guess I meant can he play with Baily and Tucker and the rest our lineup and not clog things up. would he expect 30-35 minutes per game.

I guess Bryson’s audition last year for SEC schools didn’t go too well. His tape was 80% seated next to the walk-ons

Looks like we actually offered him too, though he didn’t visit.

That gets the spidey senses going a little bit.

Might be a good foundational piece out of the high school ranks. Get some minutes behind Bailey, then hopefully be ready to start as a Sophomore.
