Plus playing Goode at the 4 gives the opportunity for 4-1 on offense

We already did 4 out. We will do it more out of the horns set. Go watch video of Horns basketball sets. 

He’s a fit. One year guy wanting grad school. Hes a dead eye shooter too. You take him even if the plan was to hold that 13th spot. P5 players that actually play.

Alex Hemenway - Clemson Tigers Guard - ESPN

Fwiw I was back in B town last week of March at a bbq vendor owned by Rob Norris and he mentioned Hemenway. He coached him at one point and said working on getting him to Bloomington. I dismissed it. If anyone wants good BBQ he sets up every Thursday at kirkwood and maple.

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 think he was in some trouble too.

because that nobody has a much higher chance of becoming somebody than that empty chair.  Plus, it's another player for practice, one that would presumably be better than the walk-ons.

And whose to say #13 would be the least talented of the scholarship players?    Maybe said player is good enough to crack the rotation and push someone else down.

Last year we could’ve used it on anyone better than our backcourt but this year we aren’t getting anyone else better than what we have. Think about it. This year is a completely different scenario. You don’t just throw it out there. I’d rather a walk on in his senior year get it than some random dude who has zero chance.

Who ever talked Woodson into that one is a dumbass and should be fired today. if thats true.

Why? Very common. Is Dan Hurley dumb? Kansas too. Why spend it for a nobody. 

I’m not sure how accurate it is. Rob Rienhart. Bleacher report. 

Word is Goode is committed. Starting to hit twitter

This is a total off the cuff remark with no real life information whatsoever.....but Furst and Goode were AAU teammates.....

Me either. Was just a random few comments and Purdue needs space. I also know of a med school in state.😝

Furst is supposedly hanging it up to focus on med school.

That’s a rumor. The other is transferring. I bet he enters the portal.

That’s the rumor I am hearing 

Go to IU and start grad school….with Illinois degree 📜 

 

If he goes to IU and forgets how to shoot then you know the curse is real 

Seeing he wants Kelly school. What’s with the Furst stuff? Seen a few people talking about him too.

When he walked at senior day it seemed odd 

Big wing who can shoot….will have plenty of suitors 

Guessing he has a good idea of where he wants to go of he wouldn’t enter portal 

IU picked up a crystal ball already. We will see. 

Luke Goode in the portal.

I mean the Fab5 played there, for Pete's sake. 

It’s not about grades. It’s more policy. Michigan will only take a certain number of credits. They want grads who actually take Michigan classes.

I would really like to know what specifically some of these kids don't have to get admitted. It's not like Juwan's teams were made up of Rhodes Scholars.

Michigan only takes sophomore credits or a grad transfer. They will take you just not your credits.

Nephew sent me a video. The band pointed them out and sang the fight song.

NIL in the pros is actually about NIL.

Pro teams aren't paying players under the table with fan donations to come to their team and pretending it is NIL because they actual have contracts and rules.

I get that but it’s still not limiting NIL. People talk like “there must be a cap”. You can’t cap NIL.  Any back to the regular scheduled program before I get in trouble.

Pro sports have salary caps for players in order to maintain competitive balance so obviously there are ways to accomplish it legally even if it is highly unlikely to happen.

Though, my actual point was more that the salary explosion is a result of bidding wars more so than it being required because the job is just so undesirable (as zline was trying to imply).

Did the NBA limit Jordan’s NIL? Even if say they do collective bargain a salary. It still won’t stop NIL. It might calm the it some.

No professional league could survive under the current transfer/NIL regime 

You still didn’t defend the point.

I know.  It just feels like it's out of control and needs a major correction.  Paying a kid $1.2 million to play ball while he gets his degree just seems plain crazy/irrational.  I'll never love it, but I'll accept a rational system

So you accepted an irrational NCAA gestapo system but not an NIL system that is market value based? That’s hypocritical.

Sorry, been gone for a few days.

Ballo is done 👍

Hickman 👍

And I'm still hearing Conwell. 

If IU gets those guys it would significantly change everything. Practice… prep. Everything.

Interesting development because he’d obviously come off the bench if (hopefully) Ballo commits 

Ballo is a 20-25 min guy max. Lots of playing time left. 

Volume shooters should be at least 34%. He clearly is one. His free throw % is 81%. So I’m not worried about his shooting. I’ll be glad to see him shoot.
