Vincent14 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just made his top 7. He is one of the top uncommitted players left. Ranked 64 by 247 but they do not even have us showing interest. https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Lester-Quinones-111267/RecruitInterests/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have two scholarships available after Reid goes pro and they already have one guy signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADGERVOL Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 If we see IU getting in on new kids we can be assured kids are going to be kicked to the curb and I almost HOPE it’s THAT bad behind the scenes because this season is crazy wicked bad.

StLHoosier Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Interesting development. There could be more turnover after this season than any of us ever imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've tried to avoid the boards for a few hours and reading some post game comments I'll stay away again. Mentioned this last week or week before that. I could see a scenario based on Coach words too....where we have multiple transfers/forced transfers as high as 6-7 guys gone after this year. If that's what we have to do to get this thing right. So be it. I'm just tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want speculation or names getting put out there but I don't see anyway that there is 6-7 transfers after this year. Again i will say that I don't think this recruit means anything about Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current guys are making the same mistakes time and time again in game 20 whatever of the season. Nothing our staff can do is going to change some of the kids. I can see plenty leaving, graduating, heading to pros,etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 By reading what has been posted about him, he is def what Archie is looking for. His toughness, competitive edge and 3 pt shooting would do wonders for this team from the 2 position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a great mystery that our best part of the game yesterday was when we tied it up at 49 it was because shots were falling. Archie is probably just at his wits end. He's going to find shooters. Whether it's this one to go with Jerome (if healthy) or someone else. He's going to have RP, 2 shooters, and TJD, Keion on the court next year.

iuthruandthru Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I think it actually plays to IUs favor this kid is in no rush. Should get a better idea of what kind of roster turnover coach is looking at once the season is over. Let the kid know we will offer once the dust settles and a player says he is transferring and be all over him behind the scenes before that.

My biggest take away from this is the last sentence by itself. I will leave it at that. You can see it on the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Green thinks the same thing I think every player thinks they can. However, I think this speaks to the fact that the coaching staff has lost faith in some players on the team's ability to ever do so. I think we are going to have transfers because it is better for the program to just part ways with them and I think we will have transfers from kids who are good guys but who just don't appear to fit into the staff's plans (thinking a guy like Moore, seems like a good kid but I do not see him getting a really good shot here).

He's going to have RP, 2 shooters, and TJD, Keion on the court next year. Yes, our shooting is dreadful and despite what some critics post - I know the coaching staff is very aware of our "issues". Heck, on the radio broadcast yesterday Fischer made comments of exasperation about the dumb plays by a couple of our favorite players to criticize ("..if I were Archie and I had any hair, I'd probably be pulling it all out because of plays like that".. paraphrased). Everyone sees it. It's pretty clear that the players aren't going to magically transform into what they aren't (exemptions for freshmen), so looking to bring in what we need is one of the solutions. I don't know what our chances are with this young man, but I hope we're not getting in the pool too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
