He always was a little concerned about the noise but it was only when IU heavily emphasized Carlyle he said no thanks

I’m an ISU alum that follows the basketball program closely.  From the ISU side of things he wasn’t going to play for Woody,  IU side of things reported it was highly unlikely he was going to IU,  national side of things reported he was coming to IU.   Woody couldn’t even get a Bloomington South grad to commit.  So glad IU doesn’t have to deal with that moving forward

For sure , but my info doesn't come from ISU , IU , or national side of things. Like I said I'm no insider just happen to know a little more in this particular situation randomly. 

But really again you can put two and two together about who pushed so hard for IU to sign guys like Rice and Carlyle over Mid-west/ Indiana connected guys when you look at assistants where they are from then look at where guys Rice and Carlyle are from . It shouldn't be too shocking

So sounds like we are good with DeVries and Enright. Anyone else yet?

Someone explain Enright to me- I know they were together at Drake but a guard that shot 63% FT and 32% from 3 this year, pass for me until proven differently

He avged almost 7 assts a game? He'd be a bench guard and a solid pickup. 

I guess I don't understand looking at a stat line and then deciding to pass or not pass on someone.

Can't think of the last time we had a guard who averaged close to 7 assists a game. Yogi's high was 5.6/game  People get so enamored with scoring numbers (how did that work out with Carlyle and Rice this year?).

If DeVries wants him, that's good enough for me.  He knows him very well, so if he thinks he has a role, he will probably fit it well.

I’m intrigued by Nick Davidson, he was the first name Rabby brought up, modern big

He shot...... 44% in his SO season at Drake. 

Either way... Enright shot 32.5% from 3, MM shot 27% from 3 in conference play. KC shot 24% lol

Regardless it was a trash system for some like Conwell and he made the right choice.  No one that is a stud 3 pt shooter is going to voluntarily sign up for a system that was in the 300’s on attempts and makes.   Every school competing against them was always going to show the data.    Doesn’t matter now.   IU has a new coach partly because of it

While certainly note a star....Enright would help set the culture at Indiana and be a valuable depth piece.

Familiarity I would guess.   My opinion he isn’t a starting B1G guard.   He is a dog on defense and one of those guards other fans will hate however offensively he can get out of control and is a streaky shooter.   Seems like a kid that will put in the work to get better though.

Would you say a solid bench piece?

I would! The type of guy that provides a spark and can give you bigger minutes if you need them. You don't rely on him for anything other than energy and getting the ball where it needs to go.

Anthony Leal?

It was explained to me Leal with a better shot. Also will be able to help teach the system to the newer guys and add some leadership.

From a 10,000 foot view I suppose, but Enright is more of a true point. He won't be happily throwing his body at post players or anything. From an energy standpoint, absolutely.

To start out definitely.  Could he earn a starting job? I think so.    Dude can be a menace on the defense side.   I’ve seen him frustrate the heck out of some guards

How about..... Javon Small, Ryan Conwell as your 1+2? and build from there. Mercy 

Poor personnel decisions have doomed us for awhile. 

Warms my cold heart to come onto the forum this morning to see everyone talking about players and basketball again. Excited about next year!

[bodsbums 304]

Thanks for opinions on Enright. I did notice his high assist numbers. I don’t need a point guard that scores a lot to be happy, but I would like someone who’s efficient when he does shoot. His numbers didn’t scream efficiency to me. 6.2 assts/3.1 TOs is ok, not great. 
Other than familiarity with the system, seems like a kid we already have had in the program- Cupps.
