(2026) - C Arafan Diane to Houston

[Hoosierfanyuh]

It’s Karvala for IU.

Taylor will be going to Michigan State. 
 

AD - it’s us and Houston. Houston “leads” but we’ve made our selves matter. It’s rumored we are offering more money and Houston is currently the leader for the g league center- which would make things interesting.

The lack of intelligence or unbiased projection in this episode is astounding. 

They say they'd pick UH because their best big will be gone and the other really good big may choose to leave, but it's not as if he's prevalent on draft boards. They put down IU for not having big. They don't mention that because IU doesn't have a quality big returning that Arafan has a better path to more immediate playing time. Another thing, and this is really interesting to me, is that they say he should go to UH because the way Arafan plays fits with the traditional way UH plays their bigs. What if Arafan wants to develop his game beyond the traditional big man role? IU offers greater development. IU can make his more versatile, which in a few years will make his more appealing to NBA teams. Also the, "Come on man, it's Houston." argument is flawless. 

Arafan may very likely go to UH, but this episode does nothing to expound on the rationale for either UH or IU. It's just a ignorant hottake, which is par for the course for them.

Sleepers media is something you should take as two bros talking about college ball for entertainment purposes. They have ~some~ intel but nothing beyond what people on peegs are getting. They are fun but don’t take them too seriously.

I've had the displeasure of slipping into Sleepers pods on and off for a couple of years. 

Sometimes I break a little bit when overexposed. I know not to take them seriously, but it does peeve me that they take themselves seriously . . . and some of their listeners do too. 

It just feels good to vent about them.

Houston too far out in front.

I believe we will get one 5☆ or player in the top 25. I'm not sure who. A big or pg would be great.

Oh well. 2 fall signees are better than 1.

Yes. New Trilly on X called Larry.  He’s getting  everything right. He says Diane to Houston. 
 

He also calls Sinan Huan or whatever his name is to Purdue.

Keep your eyes on all of the juniors and under that play C and PG. They'll probably hit the portal.

Reminder today is the day Diane announces for most likely someone other than IU.
