Transfer Portal w/IU Interest

I think we're selling Sisley short starting at the 4. He showed signs of being able to do multiple things with above average athleticism. Improved shooting and a full year under his belt, he might be a really nice piece. Great culture guy! 

Pay big on a PG, Wing, and BIG

That's OK....

Is the thinking that Dorn stays?  If so hopefully we recruit well enough for him to come off of the bench

Very likely that Dorn stays; if Dorn was gone we’d know by now.

For me, the intriguing thing about Dorn is that he had the foot fracture and couldn’t train going into last season. Hoping that a full offseason allows him to improve his athleticism.

I like the optimism but I just don’t see it.  Goes from not being able to see a minute of relevant action the last 1/3 of the season to a starting 4 in the B10?   As a Jr; maybe, but as a sophomore I think his ceiling is 10-12 mpg off the bench.

The way people are talking about spending big money on 2-3 players, there not be enough for a starting caliber guy.  So you may as well go with what you know.

I wouldn't count Dorn as staying yet

I wonder is this a staff decision, or do these kids not like DDV?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Maybe that means we've got his roster spot signed, sealed and nearly delivered.

[Home Jersey]

So 8 spots to fill, 9 if Andrej leaves?

That's what I was thinking...hopefully that's the case.

Hope so.

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Great news. I’d bet he’d be staying if the staff said he had a good shot at starting and kept his NIL competitive. Hopefully he heard the opposite

Just read staff asked him to take a pay cut...take it fwiw.

Olsen most likely.

[Home Jersey]

They best be in good position to announce some commitments semi imminently if they're asking a guy like Dorn to take a pay cut. Not just "feel good about" prospects. IMO

ITH had the story up 10 minutes ago.  I would still love to have him if he would have kept up the shooting, but as with most in this transfer portal era, I am indifferent about him going or staying.

It’s a business now. Door swings both ways.  Blow up and you get your payday.  If you don’t produce, you get a pay cut and reduced role. Simple as that. He brought nothing other than the hot several game stretch.
