That's what I thought too. How does a kid fly under the radar at Carmel?! I'd be interested to hear more about him and his story. Maybe he's had to wait his turn and lacks the exposure?

6' 180lbs cb with reported 4.37 speed. Those are some solid numbers. Is he flying under the radar?

He has more bounce than I thought. Takes it to the rim with confidence too. Good size and great shot. If our coaches think he can guard to their requirements, he has some nice tools.

Exactly. That's why they have the helmets that cover the entire side of their faces.

Announcers talked about how they're coached to get hit. Said they were top 5 in the country in that stat. Kudos to them for pushing the limit, but when they're over the plate, and then lean further over the plate to get hit, that's questionable. I can see why pitchers would get frustrated.

It is weak. Especially when you consider the timing, often late in the season, for a gimme non-conference game. It's basically a bye/rest week. That gives their playoff teams a competitive advantage. Since IU doesn't have to worry about the playoffs, the extra non-conference win would be great for our bowl chances.

"take a flyer" I see what you did there.😅

Legit concern, but he appears to move similar to JHS, and we'll also have Ware to protect the rim. MM's length should also allow him to recover if he gets beat by shorter wings. He'll also punish shorter wings on the offensive end.

My exact thoughts. And I'm glad my siblings weren't held accountable for what I did and said. Junior's actions weren't my style, but he backed it up on the court in crunch time. And he knows how to hit shots in Assembly. Might be able to transfer some of that Assembly swagger to little bro!

Until Florida gets it figured out, Tennessee should be just below Georgia, and push them for the SECE title annually. B1GW isn't even in the same discussion as the SECE. They're more on par with the Big12 north or ACC schools north of Clemson. B1GW really needs Fickell to get it going again at Wisky for relevance.

I see where you're coming from, and agree on the part about playing the best. Games against the big 3 are great for fans, players, and recruits. Your SEC example excludes the fact they only play 8 conference games. Our main goal should be to make a bowl game for prestige, but equally important, to get extra practice time. If we had 3 gimme non-conference games, plus 1 power 5 team, our bowl chances improve greatly. If we start off with 3-4 wins in the non-conference, we would only have to win 2-3 games out of Maryland, Rutgers, MSU, Purdue, and our other West opponents. Just my thoughts, but I like those odds better. If the B1G stays with 9 conference games, but does away with divisions, only playing 2 of the big 3 makes our chances of winning go up. That was my main point. Guess we'll see what the future of the B1G holds for us. I don't expect any favors.

Good analysis. Wonder if we'll add a transfer qb with experience? And the sledding will always be brutal in the B1G East. Hopefully they do away with divisions and we get a better chance for success.

Not sure on the venue, but I'm definitely going to that one.

He seems like the exact type of kid that feeds off motivation. This should provide plenty of fuel for him to prove himself.

I watch a ton of UK games because of the wife. Loved Levis's game the first time I saw him. Could you imagine him standing all day with protection and throwing to wide open receivers like Young and Stroud did? Levis takes some overly aggressive risks at times, but he'll also sacrifice his body like Josh Allen to make a crucial play. Just a gamer.

Imagine a 4 out offense with Big George in the middle...

Sounds about right to me. Ledlum needs to get leaner and more explosive for a B1G wing, which I'm sure is appealing with our strength and nutrition programs. He could almost play small ball 4 running the baseline. We have the potential for some very interchangeable parts based on matchups and situations.

He's strong and uses his body well to finish at the rim. Finished with both hands, has a floater, and threw in a euro step. Seems pretty crafty around the basket, although not super athletic. His outside shoot is so smooth.

It's raining and temperatures are dropping down here. Allergies are horrible. All the Bama fans are talking about is the Masters and spring football. Stay north young man!

I 100% agree with you, and the NIL now has things mostly above-board, which definitely helps IU. Just having flashbacks to the Clowney recruitment.

Seems like they outbid us for Noah Clowney last year. Hope it's different this time.

Montverde grad. Maybe JHS can put in a good word for us?

Exactly. Go Bulldogs!!

Man his game is smooth. Looks very under control, and is patient waiting for the opportunity to score. Has a little more bounce than I was expecting, which should only improve with training. Really hope he becomes a Hoosier.

Absolutely agree. Until the B1G stops allowing rugby style basketball, and decides it wants success in recruting and the NCAA tournament, we have to prepare for battle in the post. Hopefully CMW can straddle the line the way Izzo has to be successful at both.
