2024/2025 portal/late decommits IU is interested in
FKIM01 replied to IUfaninIllinois's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Miami players entering the portal make me wonder if the Ruiz gravy train has run it's course. Last I saw, the bulk of his wealth was a shitty penny stock that was going down the toilet and that company was the source of his NIL "advertising" money. ...but I haven't looked at it for awhile. -

I doubt they are worried. The NCAA is completely toothless in regulating the NIL. If I were a school, I'd ignore them.

If Edey was six inches shorter, Purdue loses in the first round again.

Oh crap...MP is an admin here? 😮

That's exactly the way I'd play it...a late high quality add. -

I figured it was Sparks decision to leave? Assume he's looking for more minutes. -
Dude is even Canadian. Considering he's 7-7, he's surely as good as Edey.

Yeah...I don't want any more nutcrackers on the squad.

Kanaan Carlyle Commits to INDIANA!
FKIM01 replied to Maedhros's topic in General Basketball Discussion
I also see #2 & #3. Hope that experiment crashes and burns and Nutgers sucks for the next hundred years. That's how little I think of the douchebag Harper family. -
I'm the same. Someone mentioned ND as competition but has he even scheduled a visit there?
-
Has he scheduled any visit beyond IU this Thursday and Friday? That would indicate something...

Dude was tough as nails...heart of a lion. He hated losing. ...but he loved him some barley pop. Oops...sorry...he is NOT in the portal. -

Someone said earlier that Anderson was likely looking for more minutes than IU had to offer. Good problem for IU to have in April. -

If IU has all three of those guys, then yeah...no doubt some or all of them log significant minutes as a second wing defending a 4. I could see Mgbako or Goode pulling that off. My suspicion is that Tucker would need more time in the weight room before covering most college 4's. Goode fits because he has enough experience to cover a 4 at least for a few minutes each game, particularly if you have a 7-foot rim protector backing him up. -

Sure, in spots. As you said, the defense is a concern so I wouldn't want to run that lineup more than maybe 10-15 minutes unless it is really working well, perhaps against a smaller lineup on the other side. -

I could see it in spots, especially when you need to draw defenders out of the land, but I sure wouldn't want to start a Kopp/Goode at the 4 in the Big Ten. I could see on occasion, running two wings and two guards and keeping someone like Ballo back under the rim. That would certainly provide a nice change of pace and make some space for shooters. -

Back at the subject, Goode would slot nicely into the current roster. Would be tough for me seeing him play the 4 unless you're temporarily going small. Looks like a natural 3 to me. I don't remember Miller Kopp being a real effective 4 in IU's system. I hate the idea of waiting a whole week to resolve this one, but I guess there are enough open spots to give him a week. Just seems silly when he likely already knows. -

Yeah, in hindsight, it was a year late. The only disagreement you and I have is whether or not Woody should have known that after their freshman year. Tough call. I hate shoving kids aside prematurely though. -

I think most people came to the conclusion that both banks and Gunn had issues by the end of the last season. I was much less sure after watching their freshman seasons. Props to you for owning that one...I couldn't help but laugh as I will when it's my turn to eat a comment. -

Yeah, the sample size was considerably larger after year two to make the call...and obviously, the call was made. -

I think you're off on this one. Not near enough of a sample size after that year to say either way. As others have said, you'd cut a lot of very productive players if your leash was that short. -

How do you know that staff wasn't? It's not like they didn't TRY to get more quality guards...?
