I think Alexis will fit the rim protector role and banger role just fine. Would be nice to get another athletic 6'9" or taller player though. 

Banger yes, rim protector no.

Honestly he kind of is. I watched his transfer portal highlight video or whatever and he had a 5% block rate which is really good. He averaged 2.1 blocks as a full time player two years ago. Even 0.6 bpg in 12 minutes last year. He's kind of a weird player and plays bigger than he is i feel like

He's actually a pretty good shot blocker. Good timing, helps off his man to get blocks and avoids contact doing so.

That's kind of my take as well. When he plays he seems bigger than his measurements.

And people are freaking out about not having a 7 ft big but what if that’s DeVries plan. Maybe he just targeted exactly who he wanted based on how he plans on playing.

Oh my bad I forgot haha! They have ptsd and are used to two bigs with an offense that doesn’t move. You only need a 7 footer if you were in Woodsons two big offense. Bailey is going to play 25-30 minutes a game so it’s a hard sell to bring in a backup to Bailey or someone to compete with him because then at that point you’re just wasting money because I wouldn’t want to pay Bailey or FF $1.5m to play 10-12 minutes a game

He follows: Wilkerson, Bailey, Ryan Horn, Enright, Conerway, & devries on instagram. Originally thought the follows were just love of IUBB but starting to think “hmm” a little with the burner rumors.

I can see him back as a grad assistant coach and think he would kill it in that role!

This is what I’m hoping for, it doesn’t really make sense for him to be a player on the team

He was one of the best defenders in the conference this year and offers a lot of lineup versatility, as he can guard all but the quickest guards of the stoutest posts credibly

Tried telling y’all the other day. Then Goode and that’s a wrap. Pretty wild.

Eh i think im ready to move on from the archie/woody players. I struggle to see how he’d get time w everyone we have right now especially if Goode is back

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,464]

If Leal is coming back the man must shoot 500 FTs a day until he can be better than a 60% FT shooter. It’s unfathomable.

It’s remarkable. Taking small ball to a whole notha level.

This feels a lot like Barnhizer to PU rumors a month ago lol. How does Leal have eligibility left anyways?
