Transfer Portal w IU Interest

Sam Alexis? I hadn’t even heard his name yet. He’s going to be a valuable bench piece. Love how this staff is building a team and keeping it quiet.

Offensive rebound rate of 14.5%, higher than Tjd, ware, and ballo 

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,413]

No.
We will need to perform to the expectations that Devries has a plan, and with players that he believes can and will execute that plan we will be a tourney team.
So done with judging a roster based on star rankings and national media expectations.
I want a proper college basketball lifer that knows what the **** he’s doing a puts a system and culture in place.

I get that. And I’m happy to not have to watch Woody attempt to figure out offense and defense ever again. And get outcoached in 95% of the games.

We will run a fair amount of 5 out stuff. He’s says they will play hard.

I feel like our ceiling is capped but maybe not. Great players hidden all over college basketball. Maybe they will finally flourish at Indiana instead of someplace else.

Very under rated pickup. Plays way bigger than he is. Had an ankle tweak mid season and made it where he got played over. Good rebounder and plays hard, very much will fit the role CDD wants. People are going to ***** about his height but he plays way bigger than it. 

Yep, he's clearly a big. Top 100 nationally in O-Reb Rate, D-Reb Rate, and Block rate at Chattanooga as a soph. Seems like a solid depth pickup.

Where did Torvik have IU last year, preseason? I feel like it was Top 15.

Computer rankings aren't the be all, end all.

Gonna be Leo Curtis and Federico and then they call it a day? Like that Greek kid quite a bit. Was hoping the Sorber talk had juice.

Or Curtis and miller….

Gabe Cupps and Jakai Newton were both 3* transfers on 247. How do they have Sam Alexis as a NR/0* transfer? He was more productive than either of them on a better team. lmao

Curtis or Federico and then I think the last couple spots might go to some true freshmen. Help with some class balancing.

Huh?

He was in the eight man rotation of the national champion team.  And check his numbers compared to Alex Condon if he played Condon's minutes:

Condon 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 blocks

Alexis 9.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.3 blocks

Very active player.

I'm finding that players enter so quickly that often they don't get rated.  On3 seems to be a little better about it.

I would be happy to add Leo Curtis and Federiko. I think that would get us to 12 with 7 seniors?

I'd like to see them get a full 13 (even though a lot of teams only do 12) with a freshman or rising sophomore... for continuity's sake

[RaceToTheTop 31,099]

FWIW, the addition of Dorn and Alexis moves IU from 35 to 31 on Torvik.

If he was good enough for Todd Golden to add in the portal cycle where he built a championship team, I'm happy to have him.

Playing time dwindled as the season progressed. Including DNP in games that mattered the most. Phrasing it the way you did isn’t really accurate.

Yeah he is a depth piece. Still need to get one of the bigs that have been talked about here all week.

Two years ago it projected Peyton Sparks to play more than 20 mpg and Malik Reneau to play 18 mpg

Definitely a good data point in the useless column. 

Last I looked a week or two ago, it had names for IU that I didn’t even recognize and they were getting minutes.

We turned the page and we will see what it looks like in 7 months.  All we actually know is what we are leaving behind, and for me that’s enough at the moment.
