With Newton’s injury, they would realistically be at 11 going in to next season if they leave the scholly open. We all hope he can play, but that’s a big question mark at this time.
Even if he can play some, I don’t feel good about Leal and Newton as Carlyle’s backups.Newton will have no restrictions come Exhibition #1

I don’t disagree with your thought process but let me play devils advocate for a minute. Let’s say next year we have 7 open spots because this year we took that 13th school on a project. We now get Sisley, Mullins, Harelson,Adams m, and Moreni to all commit. We now only have two spots for experienced portal players. I think Mullins and Sisley are probably on equal footing as cupps coming in as a freshman skill set wise. It handicaps us some
Respectfully, just tell someone you don't want there to leave.
Purdue just did this.

I agree that it was a a clear and obvious mistake last year. But that is because the hole seemed obvious at this time last year. The team was missing a playmaking guard/scorer in the backcourt. IU needed a starter at this time last year and for whatever reason it seems like they swung and missed for Knecht and decided they couldn’t get someone better than what they had and on the way which was crazy to me. Imagine what Isiah Swope would have done for this team.
I could probably forgive it this year if they wanted to have flexibility (after adding a shooter and a big) for one spot because I think the roster looks much better and the hole doesn’t seem so glaring to me right now. Given that it seems Galloway and Cupps will be coming off the bench along with a McDonald’s all American freshmen - I would atleast understand the thinking this time around. But I could see an argument for an emergency front court player too.
The bold. I want two more bigs

Exactly. Plus if you only have x amount of money, splitting it 12 ways goes further, ..and I'd rather have better talent at positions 10-12..jmo
Mmm ok.
Then I don't EVER want to hear anything about youth, injuries, anything of that nature again.
I think its 100% malpractice to not fill every scholly. I also find it unimaginable after last season.

The way the Purdue guys come on here and suck the toes of MP while they prop him up on this untouchable pedestal, it has almost reached the limits of Chuck Norris-isms
The onion cries when MP cuts them.
MP can parallel park a train.
MP tears cure cancer. Too bad MP never cries.
"MP would never try and pretend he's leaving for another job to try and get more money out of us" 😆- 8

They like holding one open just in case someone pops up right before the season or during the season they want to add.

I've always said halfway in jest that if I were an NFL GM, unless we're talking about an absolute slam dunk like a Joe Burrow, Andrew Luck, Calvin Johnson, etc, I'd take nothing but OL, DL and LBs in the first four rounds of the draft.
And people get too caught up in "1st round picks 10-30"... there just isn't that much difference between the 40th-best prospect and the 12th-best, a lot of the time.

I agree but wouldn't the more athletic version of Durr be a really good player?
Well-- ok...how about "a little more athletic version of Durr"--- because that player, IMO, is there in bunches in the portal.
The kid from Ole Miss (Moussa?) and there is one from Harvard. There have been others listed.

Also-- Kanaan is NOT a twitter guy. Hasn't tweeted in over 2.5 years. Interesting.
Rice isn't a big twitter guy either

Kanaan is officially official btw.

Dream would be a rim protector with some outside game.
Wish would be a rim protector or someone with outside game
What we will probably get is someone like this guy. Just a big body for 5 minutes a game. We dont have many minutes to sell. Ballo 25, MR 10...?
I agree.
But.. we have more money to spend, too. Find a rim protector, the more athletic version of Durr is fine. I will say-- I wish there was a continued stat of "altered shot rate" whatever, the same as we have block rate.
Edey's block rate wasn't great for 7'4-- but I bet he altered a ton of shots.

Nikita Konstantynovskyi who's a 6'10 F/C from Monmouth is a name that the staff has been in contact with and there might be some interest.
we have been?
I'd prefer a better rim protector, but I think this kid has two years left.

Elly De La Cruz 😍
using the opposite field like a vet, currently... He's made two plays defensively, 70ft down the line from third base, this season, as well. Insane talent.

Maybe maybe not. TG is going to sit a month or two with his surgery.
