Tayton Conerway to Indiana!!!!

[Stuhoo 89,381]

Conerway is a bully guard. One of those Houston/Baylor types. 

For those of you that are concerned that we are bringing in a bunch of shooters that aren't defensive minded? That's fair - but Conerway is kinda the opposite. A physical bully on both ends who the opposition will concede outside shots to. Unless something is completely altered, his outside shooting is not great.

Conerway and Miles the IU version of a BOGO.   And I love it.

Tayton Conerway was Sun Belt Player Of The Year in 2025. That’s nothing to sneeze at considering the last 3 Sun Belt POY transfers were: 

• Terrance Edwards JR (Louisville): 16.7 PPG / 3.4 APG
• Norchad Omier (Miami): 13.1 PPG / 10.0 RPG
• DeVante Jones (Michigan): 15.1 PPG / 4.6 APG

The B1G player-season most comparable to Conerway’s 2025? Tyson Walker’s 2024, per Torvik.

How the heck can that be? Tyson Walker was a perimeter shot-maker and small; Conerway is a physical guard who scores much more efficiently at the rim.

Tayton’s IG commitment video. Fair to say it’s good to be Tayton.

Tayton’s going to be a lot of fun to watch.

I was surprised too. As far as I can tell they were similar defensive playmakers, had a similar offensive rating despite getting there much differently, and both assist% and TO% were close.

Unfortunately, a co-worker is a purdue fan, and has changed Tayton's name to Taint. I can't escape it....

Braden Smith isn't going to be a happy camper when he's getting smothered by our Taint.

He’s got it!  

[Okram 17]

Before I knew IU was recruiting him, I admired his PER, BPM and assist/steal % as something that any team could use.

Conerway is an absolute team player, and will understand his role. I will not be surprised if he significantly outplays his transfer “ranking” and is the kind of player where people nationally wonder he came from.
 

Amazing pick up.
