Essegian is listed as 6’4” on the Wisconsin athletics site.
 
Caleb Love has zoom meeting with Woody & staff tonight!
That Indy Star article made it sound as if IU was one of his top choices. I know he’s listed by some as being the highest rated portal transfer and the big prize by landing him might be that it might lure some other top transfers here.

Totally agree - landing Love with be a major asset in adding other portal players!

How did Essegian’s name make your list. Is he entering the Portal? Or, is this just a remote wish?

Yeah saw him up close at state ..6'4"
I never thought he'd be as good as he is at the moment..
Course that’s a one game assessment.
And that game he looked lost.
But he sure had a good freshman yr..
 
Love is clearly top priority from staff and for good reason, but two other guards to keep an eye out on are Keshon Gilbert and AJ Starr.

Keshon Gilbert (UNLV) is originally from STL, had a nice improvement from freshman to sophomore year. Averaged almost 12 ppg to go along w 4 rebs and 3 assists while contributing almost 2 steals a game on the defensive end. Shot 38% from 3. Has some serious Armaan Franklin vibes to his game and is arguably the best two way guard in the portal.

AJ Storr is a 6’6 wing from St. John’s originally from Rockford IL. 3 level scorer with great athleticism who averaged 9 ppg and a 40% 3pt shooter. Scoring numbers are misleading as he had a monster second half once finally entered into the starting lineup. Would have three years of eligibility left.

Been reported that IU has reached out to both.

nice wish list.
 
Essegian is great but Wisconsin runs stuff to get him open. He fits their style better than say what Woodson would run. Woody might run a few plays to open him up for some buckets but it wouldn’t be as many as Wisconsin.
 
Shedrick or Ware,Sparks,Reneau,Banks and Ledlum. X,Galloway,Gunn,Leal,Cupps,Newton,,and Storr[because IU has had success with guys named AJ].Knecht would be awesome but it might be longshot.

Just glad coaches are beating the pavement and know the roster needs a big overhaul. Most of the guys who are leaving are Archie’s recruits. Bates was a late get obviously
