I think we get our shooter this week. I don't think he is in the portal yet. I do not know who it is, just heard we have one coming

Gonna be July and we are still getting our shooter who isn't in the portal yet :)

Kinda like Brooks and Reeves from years past lol

With that said, I am getting my hopes up anyway

As you and many have said, for each key piece we add it becomes progressively more difficult to fill with another quality piece because it's harder and harder for top players to envision a key role.

Therefore, it seems to me that the most attainable quality piece would currently be a stretch big, or for that matter any big. We still have an easily envisioned role for a player that has those skills.

It's been mentioned on 247 for some time that there are a couple of players with mutual interest that have yet to enter the portal and patience is a virtue in this instance.

You are Tyme.  He said the same thing.

EDIT:  what Tyme indicated was that to those that had DM'd him about a certain player that wasn't in the portal that he was award of those rumors;  he also indicated there was a player that would be an 'easy get' if/when they entered the portal as in the player was on board with committing to IU if they entered the portal.  I don't know if he was talking about the same player or if this is two separate.

Personally, I don't know what player that is in reference to that is an easy get.

Reading Twitter it looks like the player in question is Luke Goode.

No clue if the rumor has any truth to it, it’s just what’s out there.

I think that *was* a rumor but according to the person who started talking about the mystery person it was not about Goode.

And I believe Anderson would say and did say no thank you, other teams want me more than that. 

Since his visit was an unofficial visit (unless i misread that) I think that also shows we had a lukewarm pitch for him

I’m sure that’s right. The Max Bielfeldt’s and Anthony Walker’s of the world, experienced guys willing to take undefined roles that could be very small, are tough pulls.

It's now official and  based on rumors we'll have an interest.

Goode's stats at Illinois.  39% on 3s last season.  Averaged 20 min/game.

There has been talk of Goode and Furst going to Notre Dame to play for Shrewsberry.......AAU teammates.

If IU doesn't get him then hopefully that is what happens. Although I did read Furst is pre-med and the thought was it was unlikely he'd transfer. Who knows?

What's funny is that I think it was just yesterday that Goode 'dispelled the rumors that he was entering the portal'.

The rumors before the portal opened were that both Goode and Furst would enter the portal and look to play together for the same team.  Purdue is still one over the scholarship limit so something has to give there and it doesn't seem like that have been urgent to get that opening so they might know who is leaving already.

If the rumors are true that they would be looking to play at the same place, the two places making the most sense are Indiana and Notre Dame.

Furst was also said to be interested in Ohio State where his fiance will be going to school.

Scholarship limits are a thing of the past. Michigan football had an extra 20ish players not on scholarship last year, that were given NIL to cover the costs. Purdue could do this for one basketball player if needed.

Goode is good with me. Put a crystal ball in for me for Goode to the Hoosiers.
