I want Conwell on this team more than anyone. That dude is a freaking monster!!!

To me you get free rein to call people whatever you want because we tease you wayyyy too much about your ex wives and you totally roll with it. In fact I originally thought your 5 fouls was how many fouls (mistakes you made by getting married) you had lol.

I really liked what I saw from Mgbacko at the 4 last year offensively. Feel like he is a mismatch plus in Woodson’s offense he would have plenty of chances at open 3’s

Oh I apologize I thought that was you that said he was a bulldog and a winner. Sorry about that. I dont really want him on the team but if someone explains stuff about him I can get on board. Good thing is having 1 year only left.

Can you give me a breakdown of Perkins? I know you posted he was a winner and a bulldog but these stats just don’t excite me unless these last 11 games he was injured then that changes things a little. We need ALOT of shooters and adding him as someone who will need/want big time minutes just doesn’t excite me especially if we are adding Tucker who isn’t good at 3’s and not sure Mgbako is gonna be good at threes next year either.

His stats just don’t match up to it. Wonder if he was injured the last 11 games???

Perkins from Iowa

If you saw this persons stats and how inconsistent they were at shooting the 3 and how bad they were the last 11 games would you want that person on our team?

He is a super streaky shooter who requires high volume to get his points and as someone I know who coaches against him twice a year said he can’t even guard his own shadow.

I totally agree with what you’re saying. I’m not saying I don’t want him or to take a chance on him what I’m saying is that for people overly optimistic just to take a step back and pray he develops.

The relevance is this guys highlight tapes are all of him just being a freakish athlete. It’s hard to get my hopes up for a guy like this when I think about JG

Hate to be Debbie downer but Jordan Geronimo was also a freakish athlete.

My only concern is can Tucker and Mgbako play next to each other? That would be 1 of them would have to play the 2.

Oh sorry he’s not a power forward he’s a wing I apologize. Yes Tucker. And no Mack from Harvard.

I wonder if there has been any back channel conversations with any guards still playing? I think they are going to throw the bag at this power forward visiting and I also think they need to throw the bag at Mack.

Are you hearing something?

I feel like if he was a lock for Michigan state he wouldn’t visit us.

He’s terrible at X’s and O’s and game management and then always pulls the Woody comment of how young his team is. Plus remember he doesn’t want to coach at assembly Hall LOLOL

I would think one of the visitors is Leland Walker. I also hope they are waiting on Cronwell to see if he is interested in coming here or not. ISU just needs to lose LOL

I was getting ready to come talk about him. The question is… he may be loyal to his coach and transfer to SLU with him. If he doesn’t I’d throw bags and bags and bags at him. Woodson needs to promise him a starting spot and he is from Indianapolis so hopefully he grew up an IU Fan. It’s crazy how much talent from Indiana we pass up on.

Fair point

As I sit here watching Marquette I’m surprised more people don’t want us to look at Shaka Smart. I don’t like how he “plays defense” on the sideline but what he’s done with three different teams, two of which don’t have the resources we have, and the third being a football school is pretty impressive. He should be right behind Pearl if not equal to Pearl.

I think we take three bigs. One to replace Ware, one to replace Sparks, one to replace Walker. With that being said if there is a dude who can backup the 3 and the 4 I’m totally fine with it but we need someone who can score because Reneau hasn’t proven he can stay on the court and while Walker was serviceable we struggled scoring when him and Sparks were in together. Also, his position in Woody’s offense had lots of 3 point chances so we need to be selective and get someone who could should the 3 pointer well enough.

But what recruits do we have coming in for next season? Also no one this year proved they were really ready to replace Scalia or Holmes. I understand Holmes backup isn’t terrible but there isn’t much parity in the womens game so if you want to keep advancing beyond sweet 16 you have to bring in some top experienced players. Kentucky is a perfect example.

Yeah I hope she gets a transfer portal player to replace Scalia and to replace Holmes. I’d love the girl from holy cross who had one year of eligibility left and just had 19 vs Iowa. She shoote 40% from three
