McConnell defensive energy is great BUT he’s atrocious outside of shooting 6 foot fadeaway jump shots. Yes he’s gotten quite a bit of assists but this is a 3pt shooting league and he’s a career 33% 3pt shooter. Defenders leave him open at the three point line and sag off to help onto others. I forgot about Justin in my earlier post

Not under contract next year

I’d take either of those two! Guys set to return unless a trade happens: PG - Brogdon/Aaron SG - LeVert/Lamb SF - Warren/Justin PF - Sabonis C - Turner/Goga need to either find a 1/2 guard(Aaron can play off ball like he is now) or a stretch 4.

Would appear as if the Pacers will be picking between 10 and 15 in the draft barring a late season run down the stretch or an even larger collapse then they’ll be higher than that. With that being said lots of good talent in that range to get a guard, wing or stretch four. Jared Baylor G Baylor Chris Duarte G Oregon Jalen Johnson F Duke Ayo D G Illinois Keon Johnson G UT Kai Jones F Texas Zaire Williams G/F Stanford Johnny J F UCLA

Sounds like this guy will bring a few extra guys here that we would normally struggle to get. Really like this hire, now of course I’ll bite my tongue if he does something shady and gets IU sunk lol

So do we have a legit shot at Bates?

Yup

Agree 100%. I truly think if it does happen you see a kid that was all but told to go to Kentucky(via father) and should he go where he wants to go he can play more freely.

I need me some ketchup news

Keion is my guess

Man if we could get Xavier that would help with Franklin leaving should he choose to do so. If we get Brooks along with Xavier I think this is still a big win. If we get two of the three that would be HUGE. Next season should be fun

If Franklin, Lander return and we can get KB and Xavier oh boy. My popcorn is ready and I’ve already got my request in for season tickets. Woody about to take us to the promise land!

I’ll bring it up. Keion rumor to transfer portal? Maybe IU? BTB is where I saw it. Ducks on my way out.

My bad meant 3A and 4A ball.

What’s the competition level that Braden is going up against? No idea that’s why I’m asking. Rob put up very good numbers in high school but the level of competition wasn’t like a 4A or 5A.

Having Matta serve as associate AD over basketball operations will be great. I would imagine he will/can recruit in Indiana while the other three assistants tackle elsewhere. Matta won’t count against being an assistant coach which is a big plus.

since I posted this it's changed to +1200 for Brad, however, they are not accepting bets on Brad anymore

🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

odds were released via sportsline.com, however, no one i talked with accepted bets on this for whatever reason. I had a $100 ready to put down on it

I'll take one for the team if that's what it'll take to get BS here! lol

Baby #2 coming any time if not Tuesday next week for sure, I'll name him Brad in honor BS if he comes to IU......joking my wife would kill me. I'll be away for a little while so here's to good news while I am laying low! Go IU and come home Brad! P.S. Glad HSN is back!

LeVert back for Pacers. Another dynamic playmaker. Their schedule is very tough but if they can string some runs together they’ll be right back in it as a top 4 seed. Add Warren once he’s healthy and watch out.

He would fill in very nicely and a much cheaper rate the TY. He can stretch the field. I'd love if we resigned TY and added John Brown next to Pittman and Parris that's a scrap top four WR group. John Brown started 15 games or more in 5 of his 7 seasons so last years health was a one off imo.

Agree 100%. I think Fuller is more of a "2". Now if Fuller can string together another season like last year before he got suspended he could be the "1" wr moving forward. Pittman I think will be a fringe WR1 but moreso a WR2 throughout his career. With the way Frank loves to incorporate Tight Ends it wouldn't shock me to see us have two WR2s with upside and get a TE1 like Jonnu Smith and utilize his full potential that the Titans didn't.
