I agree… you put his defensive skill set on teams best players last year then that takes JHS and his skill set to the second best guard and it’s a whole different situation IMO. Dribble drives and kick outs for open threes don’t happen as often because X can stop that from happening… especially against Miami

Yeah I edited my original post since I was a dummy and didn’t do my research first

The only spots I’m leaving open on this roster are for: Sisley, Harrelson (sp), Asa, and Liam.

I agree. I’m only taking Kids like Harrelson (sp), Liam, Sisley, and Asa.

The problem is the remaining spots need to be grad transfers…. Sparks, Knecht, Ware all have eligibility left correct? With that being said I would assume that Ware intends to be a one and done here? edit: I just looked it up. Knecht has 1 year left and Ledlum actually has 2 years because Harvard didn’t play during 2020 Covid season.

Yes I think if anyone can get him motivated it’s coach woody. I think he’s gonna get that respect that Altman probably never earned. The difference of TJD pre woody vs this year was beyond what I could’ve hoped for motor wise

Can anyone let me know who Ware comps to and what he exactly will bring to the table? Is he basically going to play same role as TJD? If so that’s confusing because I thought Woodson said he wanted to get away from that.

Yeah I agree just was curious who since Kanecht hasn’t even scheduled a visit yet right?

A sniper???

Oh gotcha… I was thrown off by the Valpo thing lol

Who did you get right and who did you get wrong?

Apparently his brother plays football at FSU so that’s a possibility too!

So that’s all it takes to divorce you! I think a lot of the ex’s must’ve figured that out LOLOL

I’ve seen Simeon play multiple times and they are the real deal. On back to back nights they beat top 10 Xavier Booker and his Cathedral team by 13 then beat top 5 Justin Edwards and his Imhotep team 53-51. They frustrated Justin Edwards and at least for that night he wasn’t even top 100. I wasn’t impressed at all. That could’ve just been Simeon being that good.

I don’t disagree at all!

I think it means he got his waiver cleared but can’t fully announce yet

Illinois doesn’t play with a shot clock but some tourneys in Illinois did use them this year. So Simeon possibly did play with one if they were in one of those tourneys… the one down here they did not play in but it made the holiday tournament insanely better.

Are there any concerns about taking multiple transfers with 2 years or more of eligibility left? 24-25 has loads of potential and curious how IU will navigate that

If we get him we aren’t getting dude from Virginia and I’m fine with that

Thoughts on mcneeley?

Anybody on montverde stick out?

We have to be picky because we have to have a mix of grad transfers with 1 year remaining and ones that will have multiple years due to the 24/25 classes. I think I’d love comes he’s coming to follow in JHS footsteps and is a one and done here. I’m not a fan of Love AT ALL but I trust Woody

Do you think he’s ready to contribute day 1?

Sorry don’t hate me but I have zero idea who that is.

I think he has worse hands than him
