I think this guy is just looking for more followers. And somebody can correct me if I’m wrong, but DeLoach isn’t even visiting until next week, right? ….If he even keeps his visit if a commitment of Ware comes to fruition. If we get Ware and Ludlum, I’ll give everybody on this board $20 if DeLoach comes too. *I’m not legally bound to fulfill promises made on HSN. FWIW - this guy was the first person to mention Michigan for Love when everyone here thought it was IU or maybe Missouri. So, who knows how he would have that kind of knowledge of so many schools but he seems to have some. Could have been a lucky guess but nobody was taking Michigan then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains why he knows Al Durham. Nice hearing that Al had nothing but good to say about IU. 2 seasons of eligibility... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I don't see the need or fit for Malik, Sparks, Ware, Deloach and Ledlum. Wonder if Deloach moves on after Ware (and Ledlum?) becomes official... After Ware and (hopefully) Knecht, I think our big holes are filled and then we are just filling gaps and planning for the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLoach is a name that's surfaced but it's got very little discussion. I suspect that if both Ware and Ledlum come, IU has no more interest in DeLoach.

I’m not saying we wouldn’t take DeLoach if he wants to come, but in his interviews, he’s looking to get to the NBA. And whether me, you, Coach Woody, etc. thinks that dream is or isn’t realistic, it doesn’t matter. It matters what DeLoach thinks. And he needs playing time to make that dream a reality. I can’t imagine that he’d get the playing time he needs here. Again, this is all assuming that Ware and Ledlum commit, but that rando tweet said all 3 are going to commit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhunter Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I’ve said it more than once. Deloach doesn’t do it for me. Shooting is not good and free throws are bad too. Good rebounder which we do need but with Sparks already here I don’t see the need. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGERVOL Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) With the Ball State kid, Leslie, Ware and Knecht IF we got those three (my utmost hope), what would make the most sense for the last spot if my numbers are right? aka Sparks Edited April 8, 2023 by BADGERVOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed…high energy..not a scoring threat…seems Sparks already filled that role. With Sparks and Ware in house it now comes down to adding shooting as the biggest priority needs for this roster.

If you mean Ledlum and not Leslie as I’m not sure who that is I’d say the final spot would be a combo/shooting guard with emphasis on shooting….but I would hold that spot for a late HS decommit or a high profile late transfer…it’s not like we are hurting for anything and we have plenty of our own kids that need minutes to develop. So if it goes unfilled I wouldn’t lose sleep. Edited April 8, 2023 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a lower D1 guy looking more for the opportunity to play some in the big time than to play big minutes lower down. In other words, I have a feeling the last spot might go to someone who won’t blow us away on paper but the staff see as a solid addition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I don't necessarily know that one tweet from a guy with 178 followers mentioning DeLeoach to IU is reason to worry. It's certainly not the story of the weekend, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks, Ledlum, Ware, Knecht, and Ryan would be fantastic. Not overly sure Ryan as the 5th spot is realistic, but who knows if we have a connection. 🤷♂️ I agree with your post though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
