I don't think you look for potential in the portal. Potential is the HS recruiting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the potential need for a backup big, with how foul prone Reneau can be. Thought CMW might go a different route, but trust what he is trying to build! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even call it 50 minutes combined there is still 30 mins at the 4. We need some big capable bodies no matter how you cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple....We need a big or taller athletic body that can skillfully attack the basket and be able to FINISH. Some bigs are just that, BIG and in the way.

If the kid loves IU like he has said, he'll bring the energy we want as either a starter or off the bench. Hoping for a solid bench contribution! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays through contact, good on the boards, had a nice interior game. We definitely want to get athletes and shooters on our team but I like having some guys like this that can get in there and mix it up too. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
