Paye32 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Ball State has announced that Jarron Coleman is entering the transfer portal as a grad transfer. The 6’5” guard started all 30 games, averaging 14.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals. Coleman shot 35% from deep (68/193). All-MAC Second Team selection Thoughts??

ledies22 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I don't think he moves the needle in terms of raising the ceiling, but with the uncertainty of Newton, he definitely adds experienced depth. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuswingman Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Depends on other options but I would add him over just leaving the scholarship empty, especially with Newton's injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 He’s visiting UCF. I’m guessing there’s some $$$ behind this move similar to when Sellers left Ball State earlier in the off-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaloisGroupe Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I think he only has one COVID year left, so no harm in adding him. Especially if he grew up an IU fan... Edited August 3, 2023 by GaloisGroupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Dont we have this kid already in Anthony Leal? If Leal played at Ball st. he puts up those numbers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a kid who averaged 14 ppg last year, even at a mid-major gonna want to be a "practice player"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said, at an absolute minimum. Like... if this kid is literally A Leal, we still actually do need another A Leal, a practice player.

If Leal played at Ball st. he puts up those numbers. No, we don't, and he probably wouldn't. Between stints at Ball State, Jarron also spent a year in the SEC at Missouri. He averaged 30 minutes a game in conference play, with nine points and four rebounds per game. His efficiency was rough, with a slash line of 38/33/68, but that's more production than we've ever seen from Anthony Leal after three seasons at the high major level. I'm not terribly in favor of adding Jarron because it's tough to find anything he does particularly well. But as a depth piece, let a lone a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency type, he'd give us more than we have now.

13th&Jackson Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 From TDH on 7/27: We’re a little thin (on the wing),” he said. “We might have to move Mackenzie over some and Kaleb to the two and three, for sure three with those two guys. So I’m going to have to mix and match based on who’s doing what.” The only other alternative at this point would be to make a roster addition. But it’s pretty late for that, even in the transfer portal era. “We’re looking,” Woodson said. “But it’s not easy finding people at this stage of the game.” https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketballs-mike-woodson-says-mgbako-and-banks-need-to-be-ready-to-play-on-the-wing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has expanded his game so much compared to where he was last year, closer to a four than a two, watch out, here comes Kaleb Banks.

Nobody seems to know how serious it is, but doesn't sound like he'll be full strength for a while. So people are doubting that he'll contribute much this season if at all.

I picked up Leal and Trey and took them to the Blue Bird the other night. Leal is Jacked. Looks like he could play football. I was thinking maybe the weight room Coaches should switch. The linemen I've picked up are just fat and I took a strong safety to the airport the other day and I thought he might be the waterboy or at best a small slot wideout. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you are pretty jacked at 6,5 as Leal would be as you said then that is DE size…so maybe we bring him over lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
