Amazing. No energy for his thread, but lotsssssssss of b******* and whining we weren't getting enough players before he committed. Amazing

There was a lot of energy for Bailey in the Transfer Portal w IU interest thread. I broke this one out once the buzz had dissipated a bit.

This thread was created 24 hours after he committed.  All reactions are in the Transfer Portal w/ IU interest thread.  This is complaining just to complain. 

EDIT: I do agree there was too much panic when we didn't get Conwell/Dix though.  I just don't think the lack of posts in this thread is an accurate look of excitement about his commitment.

Negative. Very little energy towards Bailey at all. I've read the other thread. Nor is your time table correct. 

The main reaction of the board was the day before when people said it was done on the board, and then we got confirmation the next day.  But sure, by the time of the official word, reaction was muted because of that.

I guess I had posts deleted in this thread? 

Either way, I'm certain we'll drum up something to complain about soon.

Touched on this a bit in the other thread but where do we slot this guy? 
 

Doesn’t seem like he is a perfect fit as a 5 defensively though I love what his offense brings to the table.

Too soon to tell. When the rest of the roster fills out it should become apparent.

For now? We should slot him in for over 25 minutes per game somewhere on the front line.

If any of you come across any games of his we should watch, link here.  It has been cool to watch prior WVU games to see both Coach and Tucker in action.  Hoping Reed can provide some sort of combo in between JMorgan and Danny Wolf.  Even if a lessor version of those guys but one that can be a weapon if ignored and one that can help create opportunities for the others.  With the way Tucker can pass, I am liking the addition of guys that can move and score and distribute the ball.  Hoping he is a key cog to the "team" aspect

Really excited about Reed committing. Looking forward to watching him play for the Hoosiers.

Bravo!

[ebridges24 2,532]

Have there been any interviews with Reed since committing?

Welcome aboard Reed

Any interesting comparison was just made. It might be an insight into the roster construction DD has in mind. 

Reed Bailey = Alex Condon.
