It's about NGW/Tyme in between commitment announcements.  How else are we supposed to pass the time?

I wonder at this point if @ISP has any new info on top of good feelings he had yesterday.

Just reached out to another CE contact that I rarely go to…nothing new from the trip, but reaffirmed the one reason I said that if he doesn’t commit it’s due to depth at guard..

Yeah seems like it’s an opinion, there was lots of smoke yesterday so I’m choosing to stick with that haha

[68Hoosier]

So what's the latest on Malone

He’s basically walking into the same situation he left. Unless he wants to ride the pine and try and play bigger mins his senior year, it is a tough sell, imo. Otherwise, the people that I know who know him say IU would be his top choice just generally.  
 

But I’m sure his parents or aau coaches or whatever can help him do the math on minutes, which are basically zero this year barring an injury or something.

If he goes to anyone P5, he will be walking in the situation he left.  Unless he goes to DePaul.

That sounds perfectly correct. If Carlyle’s in fact coming Essegian becomes your 7th scholarship guard. As a niche guy, and if you’re gonna have a niche skill he’s got the best one, what’s his best case scenario, maybe 12 mins? And within his range of outcomes there’s a perfectly reasonable one where he barely plays. I’m not sure I see the appeal for him in comparison to I’m sure more certain opportunities.

Not at all. He’d have played more mins for us last year than he did at UW. If for whatever reason Carlyle or somebody doesn’t come here and Galloway starts again he’d play consistent rotation minutes. 
 

Very few teams have the guard depth UW had last year or what IU will have next year if Carlyle commits.

With the report that Walker was on campus, is he still an option for us at Guard?

Awesome, I had not heard that.

Essegian doesn’t really move the needle. Sure he’s a depth piece but at best he’s 8th or 9th man. I suspect we’re going to get someone better.

Doubt anyone significantly better is coming here to possibly ride the bench

Who do you expect that moves the needle and willing to play 10-15 minutes per game?  There is nobody willing to come here to play 10-15 minutes per game the level of CE or someone that moves the needle.  Maybe Woodson should look elsewhere to fill that position, maybe a JUCO player or somebody at a mid-major school that would be willing to play that much and get some $’s
