Transfers with IU Interest

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.

He can shoot some from 25 ft out. He isn’t as explosive from an athletic perspective, but knows his way around the rim. He has a lot of upside, but from what many here have previously stated, Altman couldn’t unlock the talent. Motivation was said to be an issue, but perhaps that changes with some new scenery.

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

Rabby all but confirmed Ware to IU then threw water on the entire board with carefully worded comments like “As of Thursday night, Ware has another visit scheduled” 

Then later he said “He currently has another visit scheduled, we will see if that’s still going to be the case“ 

My opinion, Ware committed to IU. He needs to communicate with whoever this other visit is with to let them know. Rabby wanted to slow everyone but used his wording carefully and wants Ware and family to have the attention. 
 

Also said Ledlum didn’t get to IU until later yesterday evening, the bulk of his visit will be today.

If we can get all three, what’s the likely starting 5?

 

X/Knecht/Ledlum/Reneau/Ware would be my guess? Galloway, Sparks, Gunn, Banks, Cupps off the bench.

Have a lot of similar concerns as this past year team. Outside of Knecht not a lot of bonafide shooters, and it’s not a sure thing we even get Knecht. But definitely would get a lot more balanced scoring from this team I would think.

If we get ware, ledlum and knecht, then would the upcoming team be expected to be better or worse than this past team?  

Guessing no one will be as good as tjd but depth should be a lot better.

It’s hard to say. I think the upcoming roster would be more flexible and modern. A lot could be determined too by how they fill the remaining roster spot.
