Lamar Wilkerson has been a real possibility for a few days.

That kid is a serious bucket getter.

This would be a great development!

I thought he was going to Arkansas.

I haven't looked it up but how did he do against us when we played Sam Houston this year

I think we’re battling Arkansas right now for him.

So where does RJ Luis Jr. likely go???

To whoever gives him the most shots and biggest bag.....and it sounds like most shots is more important to him.

He’s 70-68 as a collegiate basketball player (and would be far worse had he not shut it down after 9 games last season) buoyed by a 29-8 record as the 4th best player on a Miami team that reached the F4. That 29-8 Miami team had high level athletes all over the court protecting him…next years IU’s team doesn’t appear to have any resemblance of that Miami team. 

 No strong opinion on whether we get Pack or not, but you want to condemn him for "his" win loss record yet invalidate his 29-8 season because he had players around him. That is more specious than blaming a QB for his W/L record.

Oh and he would already be only at best the 3rd best player on a team of, with him, 4 confirmed players so seems like he would be right in his sweet spot, so...

Unless you can get an Isaiah Wong level combo guard, he’s going to be the PG next year. Pack is 41-60 as a starter while being a lead guard.

Maybe it’s just me, but holding solely Pack responsible for overall team record when there are four other players on the court with him seems unfair. 
 

I don’t think anyone here is asking Pack to be the main driving force behind the team.

Only silver lining is that he’d be a one year rental. DeVries won’t have to worry about following the same path as Weber or Laranaga although Pack could certainly accelerate that seat warmth. He’s an absolute cancer who I hope becomes somebody else’s problem.

Last comment on him until if/when he signs.

Just a random example, I like to think Juwan Morgan was a pretty good player here at IU including a multi year NBA career, and yet that team never made it to a tournament when he was starting. 
 

Don’t exactly think it’s fair to say it was Morgan’s fault. Don’t see why it’s fair to hold Pack solely responsible. 
 

it is fair to see between DeVries, Pack, and Bailey, there are some serious defensive questions there if we add all of those guys. 
 

I don’t know enough about Enright to say, or DeVries even for that matter, but there are legitimate concerns there.

What complete nonsense. I've changed my opinion from neutral to wanting him just to hear you obsessively  b*tch about him all year.

Pack is a #3 guy on a good team. Plus he has the final 4 experience. If IU lands Wilkerson. You would have Wilkerson, DeVries above him.

Is Achoki recruiting Christian Anderson with Pack being the backup option do you know?

The PG might be a tough portal group to find a P4 starter in. He's putting alot of work into the Xavier de-commit Nyk Lewis right now. I think by getting Bailey you start to see a few things. He's smart and gets to the line alot, processes quickly and can play offense at a high level. His opponents shot 60% on him in the paint though which probably means he's a top of the key halfcourt facilitator, a point-4 and we're in the market still for rim protection.

Are we still going to go doom and gloom in this thread about how much a failure the DRock era is?

[HoosierFan1994]

Lot to like about Reed Bailey's game. Really good passer for a guy that's 6'10. Have to assume he will shoot more than 1.2 threes a game in this offense.

I’m really surprised Lewis isn’t following Miller to Texas unless there’s a specific assistant he wants to follow. Also wasn’t Achoki Jayden Stone’s coach at Sunrise? Weird stone wouldn’t come to IU too

[IUHoosier5]

Flory’s staying at Kansas. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Assists/game:

Enright, DePaul 6.2.

DeVries, West Virginia 2.8.

Bailey, Davidson 3.8.

 

Known interest:

Pack 4.3

Wilkerson 2.1

 

Players interested in but didn't get:

Dix 2.8

Conwell 2.5

 

It does look like DD is putting an emphasis on ball movement.

I would say there are definitely two posters I can name off the top of my head that are going to.
