So sounds like we are good with DeVries and Enright. Anyone else yet?

Sounds like Goode is on board if he can get that year of eligibility:

Thanks for opinions on Enright. I did notice his high assist numbers. I don’t need a point guard that scores a lot to be happy, but I would like someone who’s efficient when he does shoot. His numbers didn’t scream efficiency to me. 6.2 assts/3.1 TOs is ok, not great. 
Other than familiarity with the system, seems like a kid we already have had in the program- Cupps.

Well he seems like a significantly better shooter than Cupps, his A/T ratio is considerably higher, as well. They don't seem all that alike to me. They are both about 6ft and white though, it seems their similarities stop there. 

Cupps eFG%- 44%-- not good

Enright eFG% for his career--- 52.8% very good

from last year 

highlights so probably going hit 100 % of the shots

Again I think its about the pieces you put around Enright. I get it , its been difficult watching Purdue have Smith for the last 3 years and us not really having a true scoring PG since Yogi but again we probably already have our leading scorer with Tucker. 

to compete at Big ten Level we really are in need of an athletic scoring wing at the 3. Dix would fit that or a Jaden Akins / AJ Storr at  Wisconsin type of player. pair that with a knock down 3 pt shooter at 2 and were rolling 

Enright would be a solid starting PG IMO . Experienced, takes care of the basketball, and can play defense cutting off straight line drives and drawing charges 

[TadQueasy]

Definitely a better shot than Leal.  Looks like an IU type kid to me.

I’m intrigued by Nick Davidson, he was the first name Rabby brought up, modern big 

The whole of top tier teams wants Nick Davidson. He will pick his place and name his price.

Barnett was with him at Nevada so might be a connection can use when recruiting him if Barnett is at IU but yeah that kid will get to pick wherever he wants to go

I believe someone said his brother was an IU grad too.

That's a nice hook!

And I would assume Kory Barnett should be a lock to join the IU staff.

Unless he gets his own head coaching gig.  Sounds like he is in the mix for Oral Roberts

Feels like Enright to IU is a natural; maybe even more so than Powell.

I'm encouraged that he shot the ball well when he was with CDD at Drake, and he certainly learned to play with the ball in his hands last year. He also shouldn't be a budget buster.

At 34 years of age? That's pretty impressive.

I want Hansberry and Powell. 

Are they petitioning for another year for Small?

Anthony Leal?

He's a much better playmaker and more skilled than Anthony Leal though not nearly as big. He's not going to guard a 6'6 wing. But he's tough, scrappy, will dive for a loose ball, take a charge, pretty much do whatever you ask of him. Will never be a big time scorer and don't think he wants to be. He'd be a locker room leader and has familiarity with DeVries system, likely a 20-25 mpg guy. 

He had a great quote I saw when searching his name on X and to summarize it was something like, "I'd much rather assist than score a basket because two happy people is better than one happy person"...something to that effect.

He has a spot to come be on the staff if he wants it, but no guarantees there. He and Nick Davidson are very close, and would put IU in the driver's seat if he indeed joins DeVries' staff

He is a rising star in the coaching industry.  Been recognized in raising star publications.  I will try to find a link to some

Can Tucker play the 3 then? 

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Jonathan Powell would get me super excited. 
75% of his shots were 3s last year playing for DDv, hit 35%
