Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[dwtaylor1055 1,523]

I want 3 pt shooting but I also want guards that can both get past their defender and keep the opposing player in front of them.  Excited for the dead period to end, let's get some kids that are dynamic and players that can shoot and defend.

Trevor Andershock reports we've reached out to 6'10" Elijah Malone of Grace College (1 yr. left).  Averaged 17.3p;  8.3r; 1.9a; 2.5b and was named NAIA Player of the Year after being an NAIA 2nd team All-American the previous year.

I believe Woodson had a phone call with him on Friday.

We saw all of that on display last night, didn't we? UConn's guards all seemed interchangeable- all could guard, shoot, drive, cut & pass well. Good decision making too, sheesh what would that be like?

That would be like Myles Rice, Carlyle, Conwell, and most recently at IU, Jalen Hood-Schifino.

There isn't much out there on Myles Rice, other than IU stuff. I think he's ours.

Absolutely nothing more than a guess, but seems similar to Kel'el last offseason.

Do you remember if Ware committed at the visit or soon after? Would love to have Rice locked up soon

He committed on the visit, but it was announced soon after.

It is even better if they shoot and make the basket ; >

Did we have the dead period last year soon after the portal opened?

I’d love to see a shot chart from last night. Those guys seemingly hit tons of the dreaded mid range shots. 
 

Uconn was actually really good at both shooting 3’s and getting to the rim this year. But when a guy like Edey was able to take the rim away, they did a great job of not forcing things and taking what was available.

lol well he is but I expect IU to try and make a serious run at getting him

would both Conwell and Rice be equally prized for IU?  Or are we prioritizing one above the other?  I believe both would complement each other very well
