If the rumors are true about Carlyle committing soon then I never thought Hickman and Conwell would come here. Also the same with Payne if Ballo commits. If Carlyle and Ballo commits I think it will start getting harder to fill the rest of the openings. The top portal prospects will want to go somewhere where they can be a starter so will guys like Conwell or Payne will have interest coming off the bench.
I think for the back up guard roles we have to hope guys like Cupps and Newton can come in next year and play a big role coming off the bench. I think we need to look at the backup 4 and 5 position through the portal. It will still be hard to bring in some of the better portal prospects to fill those positions. That is why it might be guys lol me the Evansville or the guy from Grace to fill them.

This probably should go in a different thread but I'm not sure which one. The term "shooter" has come up a lot in this thread though so I'll post here. What are folks thinking with statements like "he's not a shooter" or "we need shooters"?
Are folks wanting/expecting someone like Hulls where the player has one job and that is to knock down 3's at a +40% with defense, rebounding, driving the ball, etc. being optional?
or
Are folks wanting/expecting someone like Mark Sears that shoots +50% from the field +40% from 3, +80% from the line and can also kill you off the dribble, play D and rebound?
or
Are folks wanting/expecting something in between?
I'm not making a case one way or the other for what "shooter" should mean here, I'm just trying to understand what other's are wanting/expecting.
When I see people saying we need shooters they are implying 3 point shooters. To me we just need shot makers from the guards this year. One thing our guards lacked last year was being able to create a shot for themselves. They weren't able to create space off the drive and pull up for a 13-15 foot shot. With Galloway it was a stand still 3 pointer or a floater in the lane.

Maybe if we get enough really good players we can actually do well with two units. Every 4 minutes you make the mass subs and wear down teams
First Unit
Rice
Conwell
Hickman
MM
Ballo
Second unit
Galloway
Carlyle
Tucker
Reneau
Payne
I know we won't get all of them but that would be two really good units

I would not like that at all. I have Direct TV and, in the Louisville market, we get both Pacers and Reds, but on different channels.
Both are on Bally Sports Indiana on Xfinity

I am totally into MLB this year. There were several years in a row where I barely even watched the Reds. Now, I'm watching any game, Reds or otherwise, that I can make time for.
I can honestly say the pitch clock and elimination of the shift saved baseball for me.
At least here in the Indy area I haven't been able to watch all the Reds games. They are on the same channel as the Pacers so any time the Pacers play we don't get the Reds game.

Shows you how the game had changed. Seattle down 3-2 bottom of 8th, runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs. Use to you would definitely be trying to move the runners over with a sac bunt. Instead the batter strikes out

Already did. His started Friday
Strange we haven't heard anything about how his visit went. Pretty sure he won't come here if we get Ballo

May be different now. He wouldn’t have to travel and recruit. IU obviously has a big bag to offer any portal player now. He may consider that.
I doubt that would be how Stevens would want to build a roster

10k 1H 0BB? Something like that. He was efficient and good.
Health. Wow just get and stay healthy.. McClain is out until August? Is that right?
Elly looks like a lot different hitter(he was also very good in spring training)..
What about Friedl?
McClain is out until at least August and Marte is suspended for 80 games. Also Friedl has been out all year so far

Reds win the first two games vs the White Sox 11-1 and 5-0. Got good news today with Lodolo making his season debut going 5.2 shutout innings

Big game for the Pacers tonight. With a win and a Philadelphia loss, they can move up to 4th.
Not a good start down 35-26

I was wondering if we would get commitments from 3 guards would one of our current guards decide to enter the portal

I don't think Rice-Carlyle-Ballo is a better infusion of talent than Mgbako and Ware were last year, and look how that ended.
How about if we get Rice, Carlyle, Ballo, Hickman and another stretch for type of players. Plus we also got Tucker this spring as well. Which off season would be better.
Rice, Carlyle, Ballo, Hickman, Tucker
MM, Ware, Cupps, Newton

Evidently, his father sees something in Coach Woodson that most of the fire CMW crowd doesn’t, and that says a lot.
To be fair he is probably more worried how Woodson develops his son over what the winning percentage is
Woodson has proven to be able to develop some players and help them get to the NBA

I thought it was said that Galloway is willing to come off the bench to win.
