DDV emphasized during his press conference getting back on defense and getting set and stopping the ball.  On offense, getting out and running and scoring within 12 seconds is his goal.  I dont expect us to be very good at offensive rebounding.  

Using this site as a guide you are generally correct NCAA Basketball Stats - NCAA BB Team Defensive Rebounds per Game | TeamRankings.com.  However, there are some years where his teams have been very good.  Check out Drake in 2022/23 as an example of the very good.

Pretty good player but is very ball dominant and doesn't appear to fit the style that Devries runs on offense 

I am going to guess he doesn't end up here either, but you have to ask yourself too if he was so ball dominant our of necessity at USC, or was the coach wanting the ball in his hands, etc....it may be how he was coached to play. Just a thought.

If I remember correctly, USC was thin in the frontcourt and the guards and wings were the primary scorers.

Dorm fits the Luke Goode position, especially if Goode doesn’t get a waiver

Is there a projected time line for a decision on Goode's petition for another year? Also, Tucker DeVries also needs a waiver, but assume that's an easy one...

nothing with the NCAA is ever easy for some reason.

Some mutual interest with Indiana and Desmond Claude.  But about 6 schools that are big spenders.  Intriguing.   
 

Conerway, Wilkerson, Claude, DeVries and a big would turn some heads I think.

Going after offensive rebounds comes at a cost... if you don't get them you are giving the other team an opportunity to push in transition and get an easy basket.  I'm guessing since DDV values scoring in transition, he also prioritizes minimizing opponents' transition opportunities.  Hence not emphasizing offensive rebounding.

Shot blocking can be a bit overrated I think. We need a tandem of 5's that can give us a 40mpg stat line around:

15ppg/12rpg(4 offensive)60fg% 70ft% and play smart positional defense. Waterman and Scott were 13 and 10 combined and Louisville put 3 wings and Hepburn around that and won 27 games. Not the Big Ten but they had key  injuries too. Bailey is more capable than Waterman, I think. Scott's in the portal and already knows the role, get him. If you can get Baba too? We'd be in great shape. 

 When you're taken to the wood shed on the glass it's mostly effort and you lose. 

Goode-there are players like Dorn out there that didn't sit at a podium after a game with less than a year in a Hoosier uniform and "address" the fan base. There should be zero residue of that left in the locker room.

Would be highly entertaining but I think you condense the floor that much more, especially if the big is a defensive oriented rim protector. Conerway nor Claude shoot it particularly well from the perimeter.

99.9% he’s not going to get a waiver or play at IU. I’d bet he’s done. Court case or not.

I'm gonna have to drive down to Bloomingto tomorrow and see if I can get the ball rolling on some of these bigs to commit.

FYI, Curtis has been on campus but I have no idea whether it was official or not. Just some insight, my sources are a couple of students who talked with him while he was on campus and keep in touch with him.....nothing more, nothing less..

Miles and Dorn have future "system stars" written all over them. They shot in bulk last year and now with system generated quality shots, they should both shoot high 30's from three. 

It's Louisville year one.

247 scouting report says Dorns strength is moving off the ball. 

Love it. Really excited about this kid. He has the physical tools. 

We are definitely not going to be lacking athleticism on the wings.

Does anyone know if he visited UNC?
