bomb for Jason Drake btw

He had some serious improvement his sophomore year.  Hopefully this is a player we get where the staff catches his potential and once the season starts everyone points to his rating being way off.  Two years of eligibility too!

They're working on an international trip to get some extra practices and games in during the offseason. That should help with early season cohesion. 

well he spent a whole year in JUCO, too.

I prefer this to Clif Marshall taking the team fishing, putt-putting, and doing cooking classes. 

I'm kidding, mostly.

Does he have the length to be  a rim protector?

I doubt it since he is a 6'3 guard

Any indication on a timeline for a commitment?

just watched Drake's highlights. Man that kid can handle the ball well and really looks for his shot. Id love to have him. I think if he commits, we will really need to put all focus on a big guy. Not that coach isnt, but its time for a rim runner.

Are you sure?

if Drake commits, I like that he'll be a quality bench guard that has more than 1 year left of eligibility.  He could grow into a starter as early as next year(2026-2027 season AND stick around for an additional year if i am not mistaken).  So 2 years at JUCO, 1 year at Drexel, 2 years at IU seems plausible.

Rodney Rice from Maryland, but I don’t think he has a visit scheduled. We have reached out though.

Same.

I want to see some bench guys with 2 or 3 years of eligibility left so we are not a complete rebuild every year.

CEASE AND DESIST PLEASE

I've opened a new thread:  2025-2026 IUBB Season Expectation and am in the process of moving posts into that thread so we can return this to discussion of IU portal targets.

THANK YOU.

I don’t think s rim runner is as important as some defense. Unless Miles or Wilkerson surprise by being really good defenders, we’re really thin defensively outside of the pg spot.

How about a rum runner?

that is wild. The fact that USC has 3 mil for a basketball player is nuts to me.
