LamarCheeks Posted April 18 Posted April 18 The Toiletmakers have been sorta crowing on Twitter recently. Wonder if this is why? She was the nation's No. 5 scorer last year. But ... it was at a mid-major. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted April 18 Posted April 18 OK -- well they got two transfers today. Whoop-de-do -- both are from mid-majors. (BTW, what's with the crown?) Quote

TTT Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Crooks to Oklahoma State. Means Indiana and everyone else had a chance. That is as lateral as she jumps. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Merkle is staying ... in the B1G. Going from PSU to Minnesota. The Rodents have made a nice jump under Plitzuweit. Made the Sweet 16 this past season in their first NCAA appearance in 8 or so years. And they kicked the sh*t out of us this season at SSAH. Proves that hiring the right coach is better than bringing back the "legend." They hired Lindsay Whalen, who had NEVER coached before -- let alone at a major college program. And she was pretty brutal. Quote

Again unless you plan to throw Big Z overboard no top level starting center is going to come to IU. You can certainly make an argument to nudge Z out with her injury concerns, and then a high level center would be banging down IU’s door. However, once it was decided Z is coming back, you essentially took yourself out of running for a tier A starting center. There is certainly room to disagree with team here and send her into portal and look for an upgrade but thats risky. IF Z is healthy she is a top 3-4 center in Big Ten and the glimpses when she played clearly showed that. Another borderline starter like Striplin from two yrs ago at something like 9 points and 8 rebounds would be a great insurance policy and very necessary given Z’s injury history. Essentially the Mackenzie Hare of bigs would be perfect here. However, the chances of a top tier post player like Gracie Merkle or Audie Crooks coming here is zero as long as Z is on roster. It makes no sense for either side. OK State and Minnesota needed a top tier big to plug into that center spot since they didn’t have one. It’s not about name on jersey. IU got a high level stretch-four who can plug into starting lineup in Jess Petrie since they needed that position. However, a starting level post player who camps out on block is incompatible right now as long as Z is on this team no matter how good. Hoosiers are not UConn or South Carolina who can stack multiple starting level players at same position no matter how much we wish that. However, neither is Oklahoma State or Minnesota. They just had a need at that center position IU did not. If Indiana did, they would have gotten a top starting level post player just like these two. Hoosierfanyuh and HoosierHoopster 2 Quote

Aaron Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Skim Milky just dropped the IU meme on twitter meaning Malia Samuels who just visited likely committed. Avg 3.4 pts at USC. Likely 7th-8th person in rotation based on those numbers. Update: Talia Goodman confirmed it is indeed Samuels who committed. Class of '66 Old Fart 1 Quote

It’s not her O it’s her D, USC’s defensive centerpiece, doubt 7-8th, seems more likely she’s the backup point GloryDays, J34 and Aaron 3 Quote
