Still need to think about defensive capabilities. I know shooters, shooters, and more shooters is the portal wish list, but we still need to think about the other side of the ball as well. We were just as bad defensively last year, especially guarding the perimeter. 

The point guards for IU were not the problem with our perimeter defense most of the time. Yes Cupps got toasted a couple games, but overall, Cupps, injured X, Galloway, and Leal did a OK job. The problem was MM and MR, and will be next year if IU plays 2 bigs.

Perkins is a good player, just not a very good fit alongside Galloway. And especially not if we still play with two posts next year. I would not be mad if we added him but if you are choosing players in de facto "free agency", I'd rather choose a better fit. If we just add Perkins, replace Ware with a worse center, and run back the same lineup as last year I'll be pretty disappointed.

Hickman is absolutely a fit, 100% agree, either as a complimentary starter or a 6th man type role.

Eddie Lampkin I'm the portal. Would be a good get if MR could increase his range

From Lawrence, KS. Probably reasonable to make an assumption on this one,

Transferred last year to Colorado from TCU.  Had some mental health issues at TCU that led him to quit playing before the end of the year.  Might be better suited to a less basketball obsessed

That would be the slowest most unathletic front court in the country. A 1950s basketball coaches dream though.

Lawrence KS native. He might be headed home, literally.

Don’t usually have any information way up here but was talking to someone today who knows both families. Luke Goode already has his degree from Illinois and is good friends with Furst. Story is that they are both going to finish their careers playing for Shrewsbury at ND

ND's three basketball fans must be living the absolute dream

any news on the current visits and how they are going, or did I miss them?

I don't want him at all, but he's one of my favorite players in country to watch. Love his energy.

Sounds like it right up Woodson’s alley!

Dang, we missed out on Foster and you, back-to-back. Tough day to be a fan.

Hmmmmm does this mean we were going hard after a 29% 3 point shooter.

Whether we did or didn't, we still missed out even though we have a bigger NIL than God.  Things are going great.
