Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[RaceToTheTop 27,592]

Not getting the thinking that Humrichous would be coming to IU.  What's the upside for him to do so?  He's already wanting to have NBA scouts look at him, why would he come to Indiana and get less minutes?

Would he get less minutes here than at Illinois? Genuinely asking, not sure what they have coming in/returning next year.

Maybe if he thinks he will play adequate minutes, he'd buy that the stage at IU could give him better visibility/interest from pro scouts than a mid-major where he plays a ton. Other than Illinois haven't heard of big programs linked with him but certainly could've missed it... I find him most interesting at the moment but that may be because he's the biggest "unknown" to me as a prospect/what we could realistically expect from him on next year's team. I like him better than Elijah Malone, but I assume everyone else does too.  

Humrichous and Essegian (+ Carlyle becoming official) would be great IMO. Fill the 13th spot with a lotto ticket and let's roll

I don't know where this is all going, but it looks to me like we will have significantly better tools to work with next season. Now what that actually means, we'll have to wait until the dust settles and the games begin to know for sure. If next season goes the same as last, even I will be on the dark side.

I don't think he and Malone are an either or situation. You take both

If they are going to stagger and play small half the time get that kid from Grace and roll. There’s open schollys so if you want to get a logan Duncomb type to suit the end of the bench you can do that too. 
 

IDK really know where this is going but I kind of find this experiment fascinating. 

I just hope the basketball is more modern and less 2007.

I can live with either style as long as we win.  If we play hard and lose a close one it won't hurt as bad either.

Since I took the thread off on the Jakai Newton siding, this from July '23 is a pretty good read.

To be fair, I'd love to have freshman Eric Gordon from '07 lol.

That's just from a tweet saying Essegian is visiting today.

Didn't scroll far enough on his Twitter.

He'd make a good addition.

I think that means a little more than just visiting when ISP makes a post.

I'm old and all over twitter right now for confirmation and all I can find is someone saying he is working on the commitment art work. Named something else because I can't remember the official name. LOL
