First (2nd) Portal addition coming?...
- Thread starter IUNorth
- Start date
It doesn't interest you? Or you think he's full of it? Let's give it a bit. We'll see if he's good or not. But certainly I'll stop posting his messages if it's annoying everyone.
I enjoy seeing what is being said. Only time will tell if any of it is worth anything. I appreciate you posting what you see!
I think the smart takes were those that stated Woodson had two issues he needed to fix immediately:
1) talent; and
2) coaching
They specifically differentiated between talent and team. Woodson bought a lot of talent - I think everyone agreed - and I and lots of others gave him his credit for that. He couldn't coach it, which I and many others suspected would be the case. So here we are.

If this is true then it’s no surprise. White recruited Reneau to Florida. Reneau decommitted when Florida fired White.
Just my opinion:
First (2nd) Portal addition coming?...
Seeing some Crystal Balls on Conor Enright. Point guard for DePaul, played for DeVries at Drake. Looks like he was injured for part of the year, ironically a shoulder injury...averaged almost 7 assists a game when he played. After watching the NCAA tournament thus far... I hope we end up...

Great a collage of every three he hit all year. I'm more concerned as to why in DePaul's offense he had to hoist up 28-30 foot shots? Oh well I look at things much differently. I would have been far more impressed if I saw him create for himself or attack the rim.
Woody just went out and got the best players he could get and not ones that fit his schemes.
I saw an interview with him and it sounded as though he wanted to play another year for Duke. He turned 18 during the season and said he wanted to enjoy more of the college experience while he was young.
Good for him. Makes him a less detestable Dukie. 🙂
Red Rusch on the call!! I was a college basketball junkie as a kid watching on channel 44, then eventually on channel 9, or listening on AM 720 to DePaul games. Was crushed when ND avenged their loss to the demons in ‘78 to go to the Final 4. Dave Corzine had gone for 40, or so Vs U of L on Friday night, but hurt his ankle and not full strength on Sunday. Had a great Final 4 run in ‘79 beating UCLA and nearly ISU. Good stuff.

Rice is the one kid I'd want to give another shot to under DeVries. But rumblings him and Carlyle will both be in portal by weekend's end.
Idk what Rice made this season, but would think nobody would be paying Carlyle anything close to the reported $800K he stole from IU donors this season. All of them will find out not everyplace has quite the deep pockets they got spoiled with at IU.
You just never know..
You can be a nobody one yr..And the next your 1st team Big..

Woody didn't have any schemes except smoking cigars in his office with buddies after losses.
I think I've heard your background before, but seems odd that someone who frequents the IU fan board's name is Tru2Irish. What gives?
Weren't there commercials for TRAY-sure Island? Maybe that was Loyola broadcasts? Can't remember - I was young (born in '73)
Starter level guards aren't going to be scared off because Enright is on the roster.
You hold off, he signs elsewhere and we will be potentially filling that spot with someone not as good.
I'm seeing that he was a true junior last year. I think he's really good. I'd absolutely love him.
He played 2 years at USI before going to Indiana State.
Prior to Indiana State
2022-23 (USI): Named first team All-OVC and second team NABC All-District...led the Eagles with 15.6 points and 3.5 assists per contest...played in all 33 games, making 31 starts as a sophomore...scored a career-high 28 points in the win over Indiana State University, connecting on eight three-point field goals...dished a season-best eight assists in the win over Indiana University/Purdue University Indianapolis...grabbed a season-best six rebounds in the loss at Southeast Missouri State University...30 points away from entering the USI top 50 in scoring and 22 assists away from entering the USI top 15 in assists.
2021-22 (USI): Averaged 8.2 points and 1.9 rebounds per game during his first season...played in 26 games, making 11 starts...posted a season-high 18 points versus Maryville University and four rebounds three times...dished a season-high 10 assists versus the University of Illinois Springfield.
Enright
Swope and/or Conwell... wouldn't think we'd get both of them... but getting either would be big, BOTH would be huge.
Powell
Hansberry
DeVries
Sisley
Jayden Stone maybe as well...
That's a nice start if it happens. Gotta get the staff rounded out. IndyResident seems to think if Barnett follows DeVries to IU, that we'd have a very good chance at Nick Davidson from Nevada. That would be enormous.
I saw a tweet about a list of suitors for Powell and IU wasn't on it - not that it means anything, but you'd think the tweeter would take the layup.
Also, Rice is in the portal. Announced about 15 minutes ago.
At this point, I'm just going to assume all of them are out. And that's happening as DeVries is sitting down with them and interviewing them. Carlyle the only one left?
I guess if Powell doesn't consider IU, that's a sign he and DeVries probably didn't end up jiving all that much this season.
But from his pure basketball side, he'd be a great pickup. Bummed if he's not considering IU, on the surface.
