Transfer Portal w IU Interest

I think the number of guys transferring for the purpose of winning at all costs is pretty small.  Landing someone like Goode is a really nice piece if we do. The portal is weird thing where money isn’t the only thing, so I think getting guys willing to take these roles is going to be touch and go. 

The thing with the 3rd perimeter shooter off the bench is you have to convince them they’ll play mins over 5th yr senior and former starter Galloway and 5* frosh Tucker OR get a commitment from the staff they’ll stagger the bigs a play small consistently, and often.   
 

If the kids have good advisors they’ll rightfully be skeptical of both. Because if you come here and neither of those things happen you’re suddenly and uncharacteristically riding the pine your last year of cbb in exchange for a few extra thousand dollars and the privilege of partying at Kilroys instead of some other B1G/SEC/ACC campus bar.  
 

Obviously guys like Hickman and Essigian heard the pitch and decided against it. If Goode bites that’s great, but I’m guessing he has some other nice options.

I think there are no less than 15MPG, right now, on the table for Goode.

Based on what? That’s only viable if we play 3 guards consistently or one of our top 3 guards gets injured.

 

The previous post by str8baller nailed this IMO.

Because I am interested in what the team will look like roster wise. And I have given Woodson credit for doing something in the portal not many teams have done.  I have also said I am cautiously optimistic. We have a roster of players who need to make some jumps.  I’m just holding out for actual results before I’m painting my face.  

I will take you up on this. What will it take for you to paint your face?

I have enjoyed these two putting out videos about the portal, and the big ten in particular. One is a Michigan fan who fears Dusty will leave Michigan for IU one day. The other is a MSU fan who is tired of Izzo. 

I shared this video because it is about Luke Goode, but the joke near the end about Woody was pretty funny, especially for you dumpers :)

Based on who we have, what's needed, and Luke's skill set. 

I’ll rephrase the question:

If we don’t play 3 guards consistently, how do you figure Goode gets 15MPG?

The way the roster is cut now, there is no way for me to NOT see us playing 3 guards consistently. 

The way the roster is now, even if Goode commits, MM is playing some 4.

Cool, that was one of the points made my str8baller, that the staff would have to make a commitment to do such a thing.

I hope they do, just not optimistic that they do. I expect our starters to be Rice, Carlyle, Mgbako, Reneau, Ballo and the bulk of the minutes for those 5 guys to be at their starting position.

FWIW, Torvik projects Luke Goode for 36% of available minutes if you add him to the Indiana roster. That's 14.4 MPG.
