Random hot take. The NBC/Peacock chyron is elite.

Dalton Knecht is elite. Bonafide difference maker

Tamar Bates against a top 100 team tonight (Memphis): zero points on 0-2 shooting, no assists, one turnover.

Like Geronimo he’s a good guy, but on the court he’s just not the guy and likely never will be.

That's a collective groin punch.

Clemson hits 2 FTs and UAB misses the last shot.   Clemson wins it

Yep. I sat a couple rows up from the court tonight. A couple takeaways: 

1) Knecht is allconf good. Smooth and gets his points in the flow of the game. I’m not a recruiting guy, so this is in no way a “i told u so” but watching him play WI and MSU it’s hard not to think he was a big miss.  He could’ve been our top scorer this year.  
 

2) I’m not a huge greg gard fan but WI continues its tradition of developing players. They will probably be tough again. It’ll be tough to win up there. I could see them as a top 5 conf team.

Never got him on campus so for me not a miss just never got traction with him.   I guess it would be your definition of a miss.   If IU missed on him then every high major coach in college basketball did as well besides Barnes.  He is not just all conference good he is all-American good and would have been most teams  leading scorer this year.   Colorado kid that has been hiding in Colorado this whole time.  If any team missed on him it would have to be Colorado or the teams out West.    Absolute stud of a player

Great breakdown, and the worst part is Donta Scott, a 5th year senior' trying to blame other guys after he single handedly screwed that entire defensive possession up.

Oh lord. “Communication” for Scott apparently means standing in the middle of the court pointing out guys that your freshmen teammates should run out to.

Chef's kiss at the end with a side of fake hustle. Hey, if you leap into the seats it looks like you tried.

Like I said, I don’t really follow recruiting that well. I thought we had a visit scheduled? Or rumors we led or something…I dunno.  Either way, I am not taking a shot at our staff. More of a “what-if.” At least we were smart enough to target him, I guess. 
 

It’s just a testament to how crazy the recruiting portal is. Between him this year and KSU’s haul last year, I don’t even know how you would begin to reliably account for it in the preseason models and predications.
