Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[go iu bb 9,615]

Rabby says that Josh Harris wants to come to IU but interpreting one of his typically vague posts, it sounds like IU might be waiting on some others before taking him. "Several things still to play out."

Isn't he 6'8 and 220?  That's not guard size my dude. 

A bit undersized for a center unless he's very athletic, which I haven't seen that he is. Can possibly play that position in a pinch, but it's not ideal.

I thought Curtis was a done deal? I would also like to add Miller!

Not a done deal. Others have jumped in to the recruitment.

Josh Harris averaged 13.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in just 22.5 minutes as a freshman.  

Against power five teams -- four games against South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Georgia, and Nebraska:

four games:  22 mpg, 11.5 points, 5 rebounds, 19 of 33 from the field (58%).

I look forward to seeing the offensive creativity.  I'd be a bit more excited if it was Tyler Harris from Washington. I question the athleticism with Josh. He would be a nice add at this stage of the process though.

If the answer is no, I guess we can put to rest the importance of getting recruits on campus on a beautiful, Little 5 weekend.

I mean do we want to promote the party lifestyle as a key recruiting tactic? We want grinders not party animals. I’m sure they will all have their fun but let’s not make it a key selling point. Sell basketball first.

Anyone have any pics of the Bloomington L5 weekend? Post them in the OT board or somewhere! Those of us living in such scenic places as, uh, Houston would appreciate it :)

I’d say yes.

Our best teams had some party animals.  Players are still 18-22 yr olds and they can’t play bball 24/7.  May as well go to school somewhere that’s a good time.

We can sell both bball and IU being really fun.  With the right team culture, players can be trusted to party in moderation and at the appropriate times.  Just my opinion.

Update: @Asha’man the board clearly agrees with you!  I could be wrong on this one...

If I had a HS SR, they would not be visiting Little 5 weekend.

Maybe Drock wanted to be able to experience his first Little 5 the right way.

It's that it probably isn't a factor (or much of one) to today's players.  They are interested in $, PT, their role and how it can help them in the future.  These are no longer "student athletes" - they're professional basketball players who may attend classes (and that's fine).

Yup they are going to make enough money that they can have whatever fun they want. It’s definitely business.

I like both Harris and Curtis well enough, haven’t dug in deeply on either, and I realize they’re different sizes and styles. However, I’m not sure they’d both make sense together.

If this is true that takes our roster to 11. 2 left to fill out the roster. Who do you want? Pick 2

Baba Miller

Federico Federico

Stephon Payne

James Scott

Leo Curtis

Josh Harris

The guy from Greece

Unknown mystery big

Fed squared and then get a freshman to help balance the classes a bit. But if one isn’t available that fits then a younger transfer with some years left, like Harris.

I hope this means something more, but there is a chance they may just be recreating the Wade/LeBron alley-oop as a joke for social media.
