What the hell does that mean Trilly?

 

Likely Rice recruiting Carlyle to come with him to Indiana if it is in reference to Indiana.  Rice would like to play with Carlyle.

Which one of the 3 is known as a shooter?

Unfortunately, none. But with six openings and Mike Woodson at the helm, with what's left of the $6M, surely they can grab one of those that they are courting/chasing?

So, Trilly took that one down? Nice. Par for the course.

How does Rice fit next to Carlyle vs Conwell? Genuinely asking haven't seen much tape 

Rice and Carlyle are combo guards.  Rice is more of a 1 and Carlyle is more of a 2, but they can both play either.

Conwell is more of a two.

If we add those 3 then we're down to 3 scholarships. Then it gets tougher because you would be most likely a bench player and only get spot minutes.

It had a typo. Assembly Call corrected him and he responded that he didn’t notice in time, so I think he just took it down because it didn’t make sense as typed.

I recommend contacting Joey Hart that played at Linton in 2023 and sat the UK bench in 2024, as a shooter and a bench player. He had an official visit last May, can shoot the lights out and at 6'5 jumps well. He is in the portal but I have not seen the schools that have contacted him if any. He would have the mentality to be a bench player and a shooter that could get hot when called upon.

We really need a knockdown shooter 

Conwell>Carlyle

Now that Pope is the head coach, Hart should strongly consider asking back in at Kentucky.

I just can't see Conwell looking at our roster with Rice, Carlyle, Galloway, Tucker and Mgbako at the 1,2 and 3 and seeing enough minutes/shots for himself. I really like Conwell myself and would have preferred him over Carlyle, but I'd be stunned if Conwell came to IU at this point. Look for him to commit to NC State.

I like Joey. I like the Hart family. They were always good to me as an official. Joe Sr and Joe jr.

This is my take also. I hope I'm wrong because I would have went after Conwell first but Ya has connections to Carlyle.

Doesn’t matter if you have all the best and fresh ingredients there is, if you don’t know what in the hell to do with them, it’s going to be a crap show.

Aka, doesn’t matter if woody has the best players, if he doesn’t coach them, then we still end up with crap on the court.

I like your photo shop skills.  Woody is looking good.

Here's KC's shot chart. Not liking the around the basket numbers.. I suppose the 3 could be worse!

 

EDIT: I'm sure Woodson loves his mid-range shot attempts. (The worst shot in basketball)

Of course. But the reactions to Woodson playing golf at coaching convention were comical. 

I'm going to let that die here though, not the place as it has been requested. 

That was me.  The optics of it blow along with their burner boy Tyme talking **** all over Twitter.  You can check my history, I have said we will get players and that the things happening right now are the least important things.  We win the offseason like every year around here.  Every year. 

"Yes!  We landed Romeo, watch out Purdue *******!!11"

"We got TJD, the wins are going to start rolling in now!"

"Huge get landing Lander, just the PG we have been needing."

"Add JHS and Reneau to this experience group of guys and we are going to be making noise"  (This was the closest to coming true but was still like a double digit loss team that got spanked in the tournament's second round by Miami."

"Wow, we landed Kel-El Ware...if he shows out and getting X back with Cupps and the others, we are going to have a tournament team.  Wish we would have got another guard though..."

These guys look like upgrades.  Great, I am happy we are landing players.  Can you true fans tell me what kind of expectations I am allowed to have next year then?

[realTomCrean]

IU needs Hickman. Come home Connor

[Bowhunter]

I don’t think Conwell will come either. Hoping now for Hickman or Evansville forward, or both.

[68Hoosier]

Do the visits actually start today or tomorrow?

[jbeaman9]

How many spots do we still have? 4? If Carlyle and Rice end up committing like the crystal balls predict. 

Portal C - drops to 3

Still have room to add 3 more guys..

Newton, Cupps, Leal are scholarships 11, 12, and 13 regardless who shows up.

Yes you did start the whole charade equating Woodson golfing to not doing his job, it's not like we don't have 4 prospects visiting this weekend literally the day after the dead period ends, but I'm pretty sure @Golfman25 is the one who said multiple times that landing 3 top 50 transfers is next to an impossible feat as it has only been done once....or something along those lines. 

As far as your expectations go, they are yours. I won't tell you otherwise. My expectation is to always make the tournament and compete for a B10 title.
