Yes, there has been some contact and interest. He isn't much of a rim protector but he is a really good rebounder. They could definitely do worse given the fact Reneau will likely see some stints at the 5 as well throughout the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream would be a rim protector with some outside game. Wish would be a rim protector or someone with outside game What we will probably get is someone like this guy. Just a big body for 5 minutes a game. We dont have many minutes to sell. Ballo 25, MR 10...? for the 5. For the 4 you have MR at 20, MM 5-10, Goode 5-10 Edited April 24 by ledies22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballo 25, MR 10...? I agree. But.. we have more money to spend, too. Find a rim protector, the more athletic version of Durr is fine. I will say-- I wish there was a continued stat of "altered shot rate" whatever, the same as we have block rate. Edey's block rate wasn't great for 7'4-- but I bet he altered a ton of shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-- ok...how about "a little more athletic version of Durr"--- because that player, IMO, is there in bunches in the portal. The kid from Ole Miss (Moussa?) and there is one from Harvard. There have been others listed. Edited April 24 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent offense and rebounding, not athletic, not good FT shooters. I'd rather just have an all defensive type guy. But I also don't know who's interested.

IU doesn't have a ton of minutes to offer so only a handful of guys will be interested in signing up for that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minutes and just overall comfort level I'd assume, given he transferred back to BSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I'd put it at a 95% chance that the roster looks like this. 1. Rice, Galloway, Cupps 2. Carlyle, Leal, Newton 3. Mgbako, Tucker 4. Reneau, Goode 5. Ballo, Transfer 1 open scholarship 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
