Are you saying the staff didn't give Leal the green light to shoot?  SMDH.  

I don't think the staff gives anyone the greenlight to shoot. Our entire team outside of Mgbako is scared to shoot if anyone is within 10 feet of them. I don't think any of them had the confidence to shoot it if they have any sort of space. It's been like that through Archie and Woody. Just watch games under Crean compared to the last 7 years. Watch us compared to other teams. It's how our guys are coached. Don't shoot it if someone is closing out. Shoot only if wide open. I don't think there is a team that passes up more open 3s or shot fakes on open 3s more than Indiana.

So basically he played significant minutes against mostly bad teams where IU happen to win.  Listen, I like Leal (less now admittedly after his senior day speech), he has good fundamentals and a high IQ, but the truth is he lacks the speed and athleticism to play significant minutes on a top 25 team.  

Didn't play against UConn... Got destroyed

Didn't play against Purdue... Got destroyed

Played 18 at Purdue... Got destroyed

Played 8, 12 and 12 against Nebraska... Got whooped in every game

14 at home against PSU, got whooped

Played 9 against Auburn... Got whooped

Played 3 against Rutgers... Got whooped

Seemed like there was something to him being on the court.. almost as if there was a dude on the court that was a leader and knew what he was doing. Wild right? Even if we beat bad teams, he was a massive reason we won multiple of those 5.

We're in contact and trying to get him on campus.

Tomorrow and Wednesday should see a jump in portal announcements in general and likely more names being referenced as "contacted by IU".  

Tournament lost 32 teams in the last 4 days.  An athlete who wants to enter the portal asks a university compliance administrator to submit their name. Once the request is made, the school has two business days to submit the information to the NCAA.   

Did the post player from Charlotte that IU contacted already commit? Dishon Jackson iirc—think I saw somewhere that Iowa State may have snagged him.

Yes, he's off to Iowa State.

Maybe they can at least get a visit out of Amari Williams (unless he’s been scooped up too)

He's still available.  Quick reference point is the very first post in this thread.  Trying to keep it updated as new names come up and other names drop off.

If they’re truly recruiting Carlyle, maybe they should re-recruit Stojakovic and even consider Raynaud

Ware is the reason we won those games. And MM getting hot. Look, Leal is a nice player, but he wouldn’t sniff the floor for Illinois, Purdue, Michigan State, Northwestern, Nebraska, or even Wisconsin. 
Leal doing what he does and being one of the best players for IU is more of a inditement on Woodson not developing others players than it is Leal being some secret weapon.

Seriously don't think Stojakovic goes east of the Rockies.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,501]

OK gentlemen.  This is not an Anthony Leal discussion thread.  Move it to his thread or between yourselves in private.

Ethan Morton plays for Purdue. Leal would without a doubt play for Purdue. And the fanbase would be sayong, "should have had that Mr. Basketball. What a terrible job recruiting."

Yeah everything I’ve seen suggests he’ll stay on the Coast or maybe go to Gonzaga

Anything's possible but could also be Anthony Walker's roster spot.

You mean they were able to recruit the portal, and advance to the sweet 16 at the same time?!?!

Tyson is listed as a guard on Belmont’s roster.  He’s a wing.  And he can play alongside MM is Mgbako is the 4.

Their coach must not have had a birthday in the past week.
