SpiderMonkey Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 We needed some help inside and this should add some much needed depth. I am also very happy to add someone who has always wanted to be a Hoosier and understands what it means. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 2 years of eligibility IIRC. We needed rebounding and depth up front. Check. We'll have to wait to see what his exact role will be but he seems like a great kid. Welcome Payton! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 He seems to be a big guy with some decent footwork. Not a super athletic big but a good replacement for Race…maybe even a bit of an upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePaulieWalnuts Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Big time pickup. A reason why so many schools were after him. Now need another couple of big bodies and maybe some shooters (not the Alabama kind). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Madison22 Posted March 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Payton Sparks: “IU has always been a dream school growing up. I watched all of the greats come through. And just being able to get a chance to even come to IU has been mind blowing for me. It’s been crazy. IU was just a dream school for me and I couldn’t pass up on that chance.” 18 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the guy from UVA and that's a solid 3 man rotation. Then build some wing depth and let's go! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Obviously need depth at the 5 and sounds like he has a great attitude and appreciation for IU. A little surprised they took the commitment so early though when the transfer portal is heating up and plenty of options to consider. Guess it’s also safe to say the whole Flory/Queen/Cyril reclass never got any legs with adding Sparks and potentially Shedrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosters flip so quickly these days that I never assume any addition prohibits anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierDPU95 Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) We all recall how rebounding was a deficiency with this year's team right? I know, I know... but that was in the MAC.

Joe_Hoopsier Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 I’m going to have to assume, between Woody, our staff and with that coach up at Ball States input, we’ve nabbed a good one here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
