I'd go for Williams over Bradshaw 10/10 times.

Would be nice to get Bradshaw, but not sure what our relationship with Klutch is like.

Is IU in good with Starsky?

Hell yeah

If there are guys who want to visit on 4/20, is that a bad sign?

Sooner the better for sure.

With long-term high school recruiting it’s usually best to have the last visit. With portalists it’s definitely best to have the first visit. And hope that the first visit is the last visit.

It appears that for Myles Rice and Pharrell Payne we will be their first visit. I believe we’re also Hickman’s first visit.

Between Williams, Payne, and Bradshaw?

Bradshaw is the only one who can hit a jump shot. He is also the only one who has not proven he can defend the 5 spot or bang inside at the power 5 level.

Bradshaw is interesting, but give me Payne or Williams any day and twice on Sunday. Between Williams and Payne? I like Payne—he plays so so hard.

Payne plays hard.  Also shoots free throws at a Payton Sparks level.  Also worth noting that he fouls at about the same rate Reneau does......Payne one foul per 10.5 minutes, Reneau one per 10.2 minutes last year.  I would like IU to have a rotation of 3 guys at the 4/5, just not as sold on Payne as you.  Bradshaw also has a lot of foul issue.  Williams is the most sure thing IMO but will only get one year out of him.  Bradshaw and Payne offer multiple years.  Think the key is that if you get one of the three locked up you immediately look for the third guy to complement.  It's obvious that MR is at the 4 and MM is at the 3, so have to look for complementary pieces to make that happen.

Let's start by getting Rice.  Would love to get Rice and Hickman but at a certain point guys are going to want to see how their minutes are going to work out.

4/20 is the date of the little 500......let's just that if you had glaucoma in Bloomington that day, on 4/21 you wouldn't

Maybe. I don’t see why Cupps needs 10-15 except just to play him.  I like Galloway as a PG so he doesn’t try to be a spot up shooter. The less he shoots outside of 8 feet the better.  He was at his best operating pick and roll as a ball handler.  His value goes way down due to shooting despite all the other good stuff he adds.  I think PG is his best spot. 

Unless he finds his junior year shot PG is his best position

FWIW, I believe IU does have guys coming in on 4/19.  Hickman was on....think there was also a big, just don't recall who.

Hickman is scheduled 4/14. Carlyle and Williams are 4/19

That is correct; also, Carlyle’s visit is April 19-21 and Williams is April 19-20

True. But

• Newton will need a year of playing back to health,
• Leal does not need to play, and
• Cupps is likely a 10-15 mpg point guard backup if we get Rice or Carlyle.

That leaves Gallo as the backup at the two and three, which could easily be 20-25 mpg. That's a winning formula.

 

I think I can speak for the sandwich person on here, who I agree with, when I say this…..

If we are playing to win games - Leal needs to play.

I think I can answer both you and the sandwich:

No. He does not.

If we are playing to win games such as two years ago when we were a four seed? He did not play because the roster had enough actual talent. Glad Leal is a Hoosier but if he’s averaging over ten minutes a game? We. Are. Screwed.
