I come here to see if there's any news on Hemenway or perhaps even the Ukrainian dude -- and all I'm seeing is about Gabe Cupps. 

As far as I know, he's already on the team. 

I'm not a mod, but maybe we can move any Cupps discussion to the Cupps thread (I know there is one) and keep this about the portal and IU targets (you know -- like the title of the thread)?

I'm hoping for an update soon on our backup big and Hemenway.  Haven't heard anything since late last week on either.

Even harder to believe people getting worked up about random people on a free message board hyping up an incoming player on the team they are invested in.   Water is wet 

Ice is water. Let's think outside the box.

Cupps stuff has been sent to Cupps’ recruit thread. Think I got it all. Carry on.

Is he a PG or more of a wing?

I’d say that’s what he calls himself because he’s from Indiana. 
However, I would be happy if we landed him .

So you're saying his nickname isn't Indiana University Hoosier Hitman?

No Tymebombs (LOL) lately.  Tweeted just once since April 23rd and that was just about something we knew (Goode to Indiana).

I guess we’ll see what happens with the Ukrainian kid, but this kind of feels like what you’re gonna get, doesn’t it? If not this kid, one an awful lot like him.

Him and the Ukrainian guy are very similar except for Nikita seems more physical.

I'd just prefer a better athlete. The only thing that intrigued me with the Monmouth big was that he had 2 years left. 

Hatton didn't have good #s against power 5 competition last season, either.

I read this as meaning he’s a shooter from the state of Indiana.

I agree. I’d rather see them invest in a younger kid with more of a ceiling and a chance to be more than just filling a gap in the roster. I just feel something like this is where they’re gonna go. Some physically and emotionally mature kid who’s comfortable with the possibility that they may just not play.

Nikita is more physical but Hatton seems to have a better feel for the game and can shoot. Nikita seems like a project and looks like he just throws the ball at the rim and doesn’t have great instincts within the game. Hattons dad is a big UK fan so it would be comics to see him go to IU.
