Transfer Portal w/IU Interest

[Home Jersey]

Back up PG and back up 4/5 may be all that's left to add... Staff has proven they were anything but "behind" on the portal. Tremendous kudos for giving us reason to get excited about year 2.

So much for needed to make the tourney for momentum.  It would have helped but  in this day and age money talks

We scour every place imaginable for tidbits of info on players we're recruiting and post every update and crystal ball prediction we find.  And then Samet yesterday and Lindsay today.  Kinda fun to have the names just pop up out of nowhere.   This year's portal recruiting almost resembles a military campaign in how it's been managed and executed.   

While I’m totally on the message boards for the gossip, I really appreciate the professionalism IU is showing here. Big change of pace.

Except if you’re Kentucky

I would guess they’re already added and just not announced yet if we’re following trends

Ryan Carr is the frickin man. Not the only variable that’s changed this off-season but a big one.
What a great approach to this rush free agency. 

Identify who is worth waiting for, but still have backups ready. 

Just as importantly: scout thoroughly, assign value, and determine who isn’t worth waiting for. Pivot quickly when opportunity presents itself

Yes. At this point this staff is way ahead of what we think is needed. All doubt out the window, they know what's up and going to get it I'm sure.

So you’re telling me Cig is sitting on a fat stack of cash right now.  Dang

I think Lindsay is a serviceable back up PG. I don’t see Burton coming off the floor much. Sykes is another combo guard as well. We definitely need an athletic forward with some size and a shooter.

It's fun acting like a big boy program.

I'm looking forward to hearing the spin after IU inevitably signs a 20-something ranked transfer class.

You fill in the rest.

Do we think we still have a shot with Hall? 

I think he just canceled his visit

Makes sense. Excited to see how we round things out.

Yea, the number and quality of backup guys who basically bailed on a visit after we hit our first option is pretty funny.

I agree I think we have our 3 guys for the guard positions. Another 3-4 assuming Aiden is willing to play some C would be ideal.

There’s your starting 2.

Maybe, maybe not.  My God, there are options.

SMU is P5

My bad.  Hard to keep track these days.  : ]

But makes my point that much stronger.  Thanks.  

[AH1971]

Lindsay going to be hard to keep out of the starting lineup. He’s a secondary ball-handler and a much more proven shooter than either Harris or Mustaf.

None of them are mid majors. SMU is in the ACC.

So I see.  Lot's of movement for them over the years.  : ]
