Any word on Federico? Does anyone know what his wingspan is? 

7’4

So anyone hearing anything with the recent recruits on campus or potentially visiting? I hope we can grab Leo Curtis, think it would be good to sprinkle in some high school recruits who can play some their 1st year, then step into more of a role next year.

The rumor was that the kid from Drexel that just visited was going to sign. No clue if it has any validity.

 

edit: apparently today is the visit

Wait grad transfers can't enter? 

Nope. Same window for undergrads and grad transfers... all must submit paperwork to you school before midnight tonight.

I’m excited that, at a bare minimum, we get new problems to complain about. Not having shooters, watching buddy ball, and leaving opposing shooters wide open for 4 years got old.

Did we finally get over the hump?

lets move the debate on if CDD will be here after 2 years or not to a different titled thread please.  i think CDD already has interest in IU as he is the head coach.  This thread is for transfer portal with IU interest.  Is CDD already in the transfer portal looking for another coahing gig?

Comparison is the thief of Joy. Just let it play and see what happens, we could still have Woodson you know

Anyone have anything to add relating to portal targets with IU interest?

[Chris007 62,445]

I have a good feeling about the Drexel kid. :-)

I hope he starts to focus on HS recruiting, but there isn't much available at this point, so patience may be needed. As of now, of the 7 or 8(Goode) on next years roster 2 are returning for 26-27. That is not a receipt for sustained success.

Yea, this year's high school class will be small, but hopefully we can get some portal guys with two to three years of eligibility so we can get some more continuity and foundation going into Year 2.  I think we will.

This is still the big challenge for new coaches -- getting that high school and portal mix right.  Cig is dealing with this issue too, this is his second heavy portal class and '26 is his first real shot at a good high school class now that he's had time to make recruiting connections and showcase the program.  The best CFB programs are still very focused on high school and getting players into their program for multiple years to be developed (with portal as a supplement).  I think the same generally holds for CBB.

Does he have the length to be  a rim protector?

Those are overrated. We'll worry about those later in the week. Big Men love to party so we have to wait till later in the Little 5 week to get the Bigs on campus

No.  This staff plays everything extremely close to the vest.  You usually don't know much of anything until a visit is scheduled.  So Dixon is probably the news of the moment and then a long wish list of big guys we hope they pursue pretty heavily with Freddy Freddy from Texas Tech probably leading that list.
