Transfer Portal w IU Interest

His 3p% was respectable prior to his injury. If you only look at box score stuff for your opinion you’re not going to like a lot of people lol

And yeah, I don’t care for many of the guys we are targeting so far.

Just do whatever you have to do to get Conwell and Rice. Get a shooter and a rim protector off the bench. If we do that, I will be excited for next year.

If by chance we are able to add both Myles Rice and Kaanan Carlyle can they play together?

He has potential, but his advanced analytics are not great.

Hickman seems like the only one we are targeting that is a knock down shooter, everyone else is more of a driver and a slasher.  Carlyle only shot 32% from 3, but he can improve that.  Didn’t VO shoot way less than that his freshman year?  I do think Carlyle has some upside though

Ryan Conwell sure looked impressive last night. Do we know for sure he is entering the portal?

They have similar builds. Both around 6'3 185. They could definitely play together. I prefer Rice, mostly because both have three years of eligibility but Rice is already two years older. I think Carlyle could be what Rice is in a few years. They both shot fairly high volume of 3's, Carlyle at a slightly higher clip, but I like Rice's form more, lots of room for growth. Rice was shooting fine from three until a stretch to end the season where he went like 2/27 on threes. Both around 80% from FT. Both would be good additions.

Kanaan Carlyle visiting in a couple weeks.

 

i shouldn’t be surprised that a staff that doesn’t understand basketball analytics doesn’t take at least some “money ball” approach to recruitng.  
 

underwhelming player imo.  Another poor shooting guard.  

This staff has no sense of direction in constructing a roster. They are just attempting to land the highest ranted recruits regardless of how they fit or what role they play for the team. This team desperately needs perimeter shooting but it doesn't appear we are targeting enough of these players, and I won't be surprised if we are still a poor 3 point shooting team next year. 

The reason why Purdue has been so successful, is that Painter has identified his style and recruits players who will fill certain roles. He targets a 7'0" big man and surrounds them with perimeter shooting. Constructing a roster and building a good team becomes much harder when there is 0 planning. IU shouldn't have this much trouble especially with all the NIL money they have.

I'd be shocked if he doesn't enter the portal. The real question is does he follow Schertz to SLU. I think at least Avila will but we should have a good shot at Conwell. Poor ISU is going to be gutted unfortunately.

Kanaan shooting 32% is solid to good. 

The types of shots he takes, being a FR... yeah 32% is more than solid. 

I would consider everyone else we are talking to as "someone that can get their own", which lord we need more of JUST as much as we need "shooting".

Humrichous from Evansville has a beautiful stroke. Do we have any new information on him? Are we pursuing?

I agree!  Woodson doesn’t seem to have a real specific system he plays.  It’s pretty much throw it in the post and go from there.

We made Tony Perkins today 6 list. So that’s good.

Is it?  Sounds like we may be the tallest midget.

I’d love to have Conwell. I think he’d fit in nicely at the B1G level.  He’s about everything we need out of a guard other than a pure pg/dynamic ballhandler type.   
 

I would like him more than someone like Johnell Davis won in not as high on.

I have heard we lead for him but we have competition.

Only one of those schools is close to home (IU) so he certainly seems ok with not coming back to Indiana anytime soon.

Thought that might have been something to tip the scales in our favor.

[Hoosier DaDa]

What's taking so long for these guys to commit?  Don't they know that we only have 6 spots to fill.

I wish someone we need would pull the trigger. We are all antsy.

Someone mentioned he might go through the NBA process too.
