2016 (F) Freddie McSwain Jr. to IU

[Dalton26 17,036]

Gotcha.

He definitely developed his game to a level few could have anticipated. Credit to the kid. Hope he stays involved with IU in the future.

It'd be nice if IU could pick and choose who they want to bring in.

Oh I completely agree. I hope he stays connected to the program for a very long time. I never doubted for a second how much pride that kid took in wearing an Indiana jersey.

People said he would be a huge defensive liability, he was. That he wasn't anything but a shooter, mostly true depending on how much of a leader you thought Z was. He shot it better than most thought he would in general. Also, the only reason he would rate out as super effective offensively is because of a the way three point shooting could tip the scale. He didn't have much offensive diversity really

Yes, that's kind of how efficiency works.....

His second year he made significant improvement handling the ball and setting up others. One of our better guys feeding it inside to Thomas, or dishing to him on the drive.

He was not a liability on defense in his second year IMO, so I'd disagree with you there.

UNLV's needs bodies with the exodus they're experiencing.

[WayneFleekHoosier 50,172]

UNLV seems to recruit every kid we recruit. What is up with that?

[HumphreyIN 75]

UNLV has been in disarray the past 12 months. I'd be surprised if he ends up there. My feeling is he will be in candy stripes.

[Jam 286]

Does UNLV even have a coach? How do hey extend an offer?

They won the last couple that I can recall: Zimmerman and Okonoboh. Apparently Goodluck is transferring, but a few minutes of google-fu failed to produce to where.

Also Dwayne Morgan

Rawle alkins.

Rawle alkins.

Isn't he going to Zona? Or you're saying UNLV offered after IU?

Godlike already left. He announced is plans to transfer not long after the Maui Invitational

I don't remember much negativity towards Max at all. With regards to Nick we needed a few more bigs when we signed him. There was certainly some negativity with him but that was because we had just signed two "bigs" that did not show much promise in April and Priller.

I would like to see our recruiting kick it up a notch. We had a veteran laden team this year which led us to a BT title but the talent seemed to be lacking in several big games.

We have a team full of 3/4 stars like OG, Morgan and RoJo etc which can be great for team play when upperclassmen but we also need some high end guys. TB looks like he could develop into a big time player, JBj if he can come back from another knee injury(3rd?) and can play better D are close but we need more.

All of our current recruits fall into that RoJo, OG mold I think we still will need some 4/5 star impact level players to advance further.

I had no problem with Nick but I just felt we needed better quality big men instead.

In unrelated news, we picked up three Crystal Ball picks for him, including Alex McCarthy who doesn't usually pick until it is a sure thing.
