Not true. It means IU has a recruiting class of 1 as opposed to 0.Which means nothing except to fan boys and bloggers. Because we had 5 star primadonnas this year and didn't do jack.
please STFU ..Which means nothing except to fan boys and bloggers. Because we had 5 star primadonnas this year and didn't do jack.
Not an accomplished 3 point shooter yet. Very young for his class.I dunno-looks small to play his power game in the big 10.
I used to get really excited over 5 star players but this yer proved you can have three five star players and is doesnt mean dork. He would really need a team of all five stars for his nba offense to really work on a high enough level to do damage in the tourney.Which means nothing except to fan boys and bloggers.

Look at what Oakland did to Kentucky. UK had all those highly touted players and got beat by a bunch of lower ranked players. Yet those lower ranked dudes were tough.I used to get really excited over 5 star players but this yer proved you can have three five star players and is doesnt mean dork.

when was the last time you were excited about anything?I used to get really excited over 5 star players but this yer proved you can have three five star players and is doesnt mean dork.

Possible. Especially with our $.Ohhhh kayyyy...
Now a PG (Perkins)
Then a shooter/playmaker (Hickman)
Then a Defensive oriented big (Williams from Drexel)
Then another shooter (Blackmon)
Then a couple versatile, longer, 2 way players that can shoot...
And hopefully the last couple guys I mentioned have more than 1 year of eligibility left...
All of these things happening are a stretch, but when you break them down individually, not unlikely at all.
Tucker is a great start though!
It means we have a much better chance of being a good team today than we did yesterday. Awesome news.Which means nothing except to fan boys and bloggers. Because we had 5 star primadonnas this year and didn't do jack.
Who exactly were the prima donnas and what made them so? I must have missed it.Which means nothing except to fan boys and bloggers. Because we had 5 star primadonnas this year and didn't do jack.
Yep and a commit by a highly ranked player will help others who may be considering to pull the trigger.It means we have a much better chance of being a good team today than we did yesterday. Awesome news.
Mine was Christmas when I found my kids got me six Giordanos pizzas. I appreciate my kids when they do that.when was the last time you were excited about anything?
He could still come back technically.If McNeeley had just waited a few weeks he would have had another five star recruit come in with him.
The one I listed... I would think could win low 20s, over .500 in conference, solid 5-8 seed in tourney.Possible. Especially with our $.
What could this team do in terms of wins/losses and tourney?
One of my daughters gave me a toaster that is so small half the bread sticks out. I don’t know why she picked that to give but I love that darn toaster in spite of its shortcomings.Mine was Christmas when I found my kids got me six Giordanos pizzas. I appreciate my kids when they do that.
The knock on Kentucky is the one and done five stars dont work anymore as evidenced by their last four seasons. It worked pretty well when he first took over but not anymore. Memphis is kind of the same penny has gotten alot of top level talent and his results are meh at best.Look at what Oakland did to Kentucky. UK had all those highly touted players and got beat by a bunch of lower ranked players. Yet those lower ranked dudes were tough.

Very mild on here now honestly. You should have been around during the Mike Davis years if you wanted to read negative posts. This is childs play.Would love to see all of you coaches’ career records in the rec leagues you are in.
Can’t people just welcome a kid to IU that is a top 20 kid in the country?
Someone asked “who?” in regard to Tucker. If you do not follow recruiting close enough to have known we were recruiting Tucker at same time as mcneely, and he was planning on giing to g-league ignite, you probably should not comment negatively about a recruit
Those lower ranked players were older and more experienced.Look at what Oakland did to Kentucky. UK had all those highly touted players and got beat by a bunch of lower ranked players. Yet those lower ranked dudes were tough.
Ya, I'm witchya, pisses me off to no end Woodson is such a weak recruiter of HS talent. Ifen you can't recruit a 4-5-6 rated baller, stay in bed. Just sick of this shit.I used to get really excited over 5 star players but this yer proved you can have three five star players and is doesnt mean dork.

I like Abou Ousmane as a back up big. 6'11 250, started his career at North Texas and platooned at Xavier last year. Averaged 6/6/1.5 blocks playing only 20mpg. Think he can play up to 25 mpg in the event Reneau gets in foul trouble but definitely a quality rim protector you can plug and play.The one I listed... I would think could win low 20s, over .500 in conference, solid 5-8 seed in tourney.
But we do need a PG, another big that's preferably an elite level defender/rebounder, and a few versatile shooter/scorer/defenders on the wing yet.
He would fit the mold fine. I was hoping for Dishon Jackson (Charlotte) but he made the move for Iowa State very quickly.I like Abou Ousmane as a back up big. 6'11 250, started his career at North Texas and platooned at Xavier last year.

Calipari said in his post-game he needed to change. I expect in addition to the 5* HS prospects he's going to mix in a couple of high level xfers from the portal. That might still lead to the problem I think our team had of developing chemistry with a new group that quickly, but Cal might be better at hastening that along that CMW is/was. And, maybe it was just a bad mix of personalities for us this year. Guess we'll see since we're having to bring in a large crew this year again too.The knock on Kentucky is the one and done five stars dont work anymore as evidenced by their last four seasons.

Need someone that can defend the post and rebound, for sure.I like Abou Ousmane as a back up big. 6'11 250, started his career at North Texas and platooned at Xavier last year.

In another thread I mentioned that they need to start playing Joey Hart from Linton/Stockton because he could be a good four yr player for them. I really liked Joey when he was in high school. Too bad about his Dad losing his coaching job due to several DUIs. I hope he bounces back somewhere.The knock on Kentucky is the one and done five stars dont work anymore as evidenced by their last four seasons.

Same people who were mad about our win streak at the end of the year.Our fans man.
We get a McDonalds All American and the first post is to shit on getting him.
We're better with him today then we were yesterday without.
that made me laugh....IF Reneau gets in foul troubleI like Abou Ousmane as a back up big. 6'11 250, started his career at North Texas and platooned at Xavier last year.

Mcneely didn’t get Gus ego strikes enough. BuhBigh!If McNeeley had just waited a few weeks he would have had another five star recruit come in with him.
I don't know but I'd trust Cal in playing the kid in only 7 games. I realize coaches can make poor rotation decisions but he was a late addition to UK and was looking at mid majors before committing. I'd wager he gets minimal playing time next season and transfers back in state to a smaller school.In another thread I mentioned that they need to start playing Joey Hart from Linton/Stockton because he could be a good four yr player for them.

Chill.. it’s a pit stop for him.Our fans man.

True, Joey was going to one of the Florida mid major teams. I was very surprised when he ended up at UK.I don't know but I'd trust Cal in playing the kid in only 7 games.

And if people want to continue coaching they should be making good decisions; one DUI should have been enough.
Probably make the second weekend…with a better coach & more than a year together. With Woody, bubble team out in the first or second round.Possible. Especially with our $.
What could this team do in terms of wins/losses and tourney?
hope it's not around me, enough drunks on the streets already.In another thread I mentioned that they need to start playing Joey Hart from Linton/Stockton because he could be a good four yr player for them.

This is the Woody issue. With big NIL he's going to have talent, he can always buy someone. Can he assembly a "team" that does something like win the conference or make a tourney run? Haven't seen that yet. He is getting another shot at it though.Probably make the second weekend…with a better coach & more than a year together. With Woody, bubble team out in the first or second round.
I also see everyone proclaiming we had three 5-stars, but Reneau was a composite 4-star. Rivals had him as a 5, but the others had him as a 4.Who exactly were the prima donnas and what made them so? I must have missed it.
