WayneFleekHoosier Posted April 22 Posted April 22 He’s little for a 2 but seems like a 1 or a small 2. Assuming Conerway I’d think was a 1 but he’s a 1-2. Enright seems more of a 1. Rooting for deuce to make the leap. FortWayneHoosier 1 Quote

skhoosier2 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Great addition. Big he has more than just this year of eligibility. Could end up being a really solid piece to build around the following year. HoosierHoopster, FortWayneHoosier, Napleshoosier and 1 other 4 Quote

This really stood out to me: On the roster IU is assembling for next season: “The coaching staff is getting the pieces. They’re not getting all of the high level guys, they’re getting the guys that are trying to win and are about the right thing and everybody is pretty selfless. I feel like that’s the way you build a winning team and a winning culture. I feel like that’s what coach is trying to get with his first team at Indiana.” Crimson and Cream, sirhoosierlot, Artie86 and 15 others 17 1 Quote
AKHoosier Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Love it, especially that he has multiple years of eligibility remaining. Devries is getting his roster. Let's go. CSP and FortWayneHoosier 2 Quote
moyemayhem Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Drake looks like the prototype of a spark plug guard off the bench. Nifty ballhandling, good quickness, and a pure shot. Shooting free throws at 86.5% this last year implies the shooting is not a fluke. He can create offense, and you can never have too many of those players. Big question is whether he can maintain his efficiency with the step up in competition. Defense will also be a question mark, especially at his size. I think we will like him.

Popular Post Demo Posted April 22 Popular Post Posted April 22 Have no opinion of Drake as a player yet, but I am really happy for the kid. Straight washes out at Cleveland St but then just takes a step back, finds a path, busts his a$$ and now he’s in the B1G. If there is 1 thing with CDD so far, none of these kids is bringing a sense of entitlement with them. Gonna be a really, really easy team to root for. cybergates, Home Jersey, Dave from Dayton and 21 others 24 Quote
ebridges24 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Another young man that really wants to be at IU. cybergates, HoosierHoopster and Napleshoosier 3 Quote

It leaves me with concerns but ultimately I’ll be rooting harder than ever. I think there is a fine line on getting talent and getting the right talent. Gotta have the right mentality. But also have to have the talent. Let’s hope DeVries is threading that needle. FortWayneHoosier and Demo 2 Quote

Said it before, but I like what I'm seeing from DeVries in his recruiting and commitments so far. MemphisHoosier, FortWayneHoosier and J34 3 Quote
