Class of '66 Old Fart

Transfer Portal w IU Interest

Recommended Posts

Xavier backcourt is stacked.  Not enough minutes to go around I’m guessing.   Claude already left and it’s still loaded 

Looks like most shot 40% from three or close to it

Take it for whatever you want but according to Jeff Rabjohns: IU was unable to gain traction with Ryan Conwell because Conwell felt Kanaan Carlyle was coming and Conwell would not have a chance to start.

I know Ryan Conwell was desired and I get that completely. I do think there is a very real chance that Kanaan Carlyle, moved off the ball thanks to Myles Rice, is a better player in the Big Ten than Ryan Conwell would have been. At least some portion of Conwell's success/numbers have to be attributed to the very friendly system of Josh Schertz. Conwell is a really good player, I think Carlyle is as well. Rice and Carlyle (just waiting for it to become official) clearly like each other and wanted to play together. If getting Rice meant Carlyle was a bigger priority because of their desire to play together, I think it makes total sense.

Missouri lands top-10 transfer recruit Mark Mitchell from Duke

Hope they don’t count on him being a shooter

IU recruiting is so weird right now.  lol.   Going to get 3 out of state top 10 or at least top 20 transfers and an out of state 5 star freshman but can’t land an in state shooter. Crazy you would have think that would be flipped 

You'd think...

Sounds like CE to Nebraska according to Trilly 

Could be a good spot for him.  I'm surprised he went that far from home.  Michigan must not have offered him much either.  

 

Conwell to Xavier seems like a good fit for him.  Glad he is out of the B1G. Under different circumstances I would have liked to see both at IU.

Kinda hard to sell bench mins so i get it, we’ll find some depth tho im not worried 

That’s part of my concern for Woody’s recruiting pitch. When you target bench guys you get bench guys with less talent.  Let’s say he goes hard for TJ Power as a player with starter potential. Maybe he earns it, maybe he doesn’t.  
 

but when you are trying to recruit guys happy to be Bench guys you are severely capping your talent on the team.  He needs to find a way to figure this out.

I don't think we need depth at guard.  Backup F/C sure.  But I can't imagine anyone wanting guaranteed time at guard would sign up.  At a minimum you have to beat out Cupps and maybe Newton for just table scraps.  I know most on here don't think much of Cupps, but most guys coming in, and the people advisingthem, at the very least see a freshman who was a capable backup and part time starter last year.  Thinking you have to beat out that guy for about 5min a game is a tough sell.  Seeing you have to beat out Galloway and IU's newest 5* wing for any real mins off the bench has to be a deterrent.

agreed....I don't think there is much talent at guard that would willingly walk into this melee of minutes. Gallo, Rice, Tucker, Carlyle are all going to be hard to beat for minutes.

Not broken up about it honestly. He's a question mark at IU. Nebraska not so much. 

He would be the best shooter on the team.   Guess he will light up Indiana under Hoiberg system.  At least he will have  a better coach and program currently.
