IU Scott Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 So will the approach be go out right away and get guys in the portal or wait for some better players to enter after they are eliminated. I want guys from winning programs who know what it takes to win. Another thing is how our fans react when our first commit might he from a mid major even though he might be a bench player.

I’m honestly fine with getting productive mid major players, as long as it includes guys who are wings/guards who were productive from the perimeter. Last season we clearly needed guard help after the season, and we went and added two centers and two power forwards. If we do that again, even if they’re talented players, it’ll be hard to have faith that next season will be any better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 i really am curious in people's updated wish list as we go. i know it's early, so it will change often. seems like right now (not necessarily in order): AJ Casey Christian Watson Lee Dort Koren Johnson Michael Ajayi Jacob Crews Nils Cooper Marcus Foster Jakobi Gillespie Jalen Blackmon Would we want all of those guys if we can get them?

Between2Halls Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 My top concern is that we will get “stuck” with what we get by assuming we can be picky or deserving. I understand NiL availability, but we don’t offer much else as far as on the floor product. I hope I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also suggest we screen recruits better in regard to FTs %. Shannon from IL sunk 15-17 today in championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are about to find out. The thing I think we all need to remember though is that we aren’t the only school with money to spend. I feel like some of our fan base thinks no one will outspend us and we’ll just buy anyone we want. It’s not going to be that easy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know much about any of these guys, but a lot of them have impressive numbers. Any guard who can shoot is a yes for me. What’s the deal with the first 3 guys? None of them seem very impressive outside of being bench players on power conference teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all issues going on with Woodson potentially not being around after 2025 you have to think we need Grad Transfers. NIL+Grad Transfer is where we have to look right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, unless they are a lifetime fan having it ingrained into them, you’d have to question the priorities of anyone choosing IU. These are the types of guys we’d roll in the past and now that’s us. Edited March 18 by BobSaccamanno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
