Needing a step up there. Rice 28% and Carlyle 32% paired with Gallo - not great on paper. Dynamic play-making guards.
Here’s what I love though: PAC12 Fr Of Yr PG and B10 Fr of Yr Taco 

I really hope they weren’t guarding each other that game.

Is…is Woodson back?

Which one of the 3 is known as a shooter?

Not sure which is a known shooter but I’ve watched a lot of Washington St games this year where Rice was on fire from 3.  Also watched some games where he struggled.   Didn’t watch as many Stanford games but that kid had some good games.   Torched Arizona with a 6-8 performance from 3 and 28 points.   However he also struggled in some games.     Anyone know last time IU had a player hit 6 threes in a game.   Last year hitting 6 for the whole team would of been a good week

Carlyle's EFG% was 54% on catch-and-shoot 3s. 73rd percentile in the country. Furthermore, his "spot up" so catch and shoot plus catch and drive was 1.1PPP and was in the 81st percentile. This couples with Rice very well.

Getting top level players from the portal is 1 thing however turning them into a team that is actually competing for the top of the B1G is another.    Ask West Virginia and Arkansas how winning the transfer portal off-season worked out for them last year 

Of course. But the reactions to Woodson playing golf at coaching convention were comical. 

I'm going to let that die here though, not the place as it has been requested.

I believe Carlyle was asked to play on the ball too much this season and led to some poor efficiency numbers.

Watching the highlights of all these Pac 12 guys and every once in a while you get a highlight at Oregon and I cringe. That floor is awful to watch basketball on. I may need to just listen to Fisch whenever we play at Oregon.

Regardless - excited about these new guys, but I don't want Ballou shooting free throws with the game on the line!

That floor has to be a 'real' home court advantage at least for a while. There is a story behind it though and when Phil Knight owns the building he can do what he wants. The design was a memorial to his son that died on a hiking trip if I remember correctly.

He's gonna have to find a way to get his own shots though.  That is not Mike Woodson's job.

Likely Rice recruiting Carlyle to come with him to Indiana if it is in reference to Indiana.  Rice would like to play with Carlyle.

Unfortunately, none. But with six openings and Mike Woodson at the helm, with what's left of the $6M, surely they can grab one of those that they are courting/chasing?

So, Trilly took that one down? Nice. Par for the course.

How does Rice fit next to Carlyle vs Conwell? Genuinely asking haven't seen much tape 

Rice and Carlyle are combo guards.  Rice is more of a 1 and Carlyle is more of a 2, but they can both play either.

Conwell is more of a two.

If we add those 3 then we're down to 3 scholarships. Then it gets tougher because you would be most likely a bench player and only get spot minutes.

It had a typo. Assembly Call corrected him and he responded that he didn’t notice in time, so I think he just took it down because it didn’t make sense as typed.

I recommend contacting Joey Hart that played at Linton in 2023 and sat the UK bench in 2024, as a shooter and a bench player. He had an official visit last May, can shoot the lights out and at 6'5 jumps well. He is in the portal but I have not seen the schools that have contacted him if any. He would have the mentality to be a bench player and a shooter that could get hot when called upon.

We really need a knockdown shooter 

Conwell>Carlyle

Now that Pope is the head coach, Hart should strongly consider asking back in at Kentucky.
