I was told Lexington was Mecca and he would never consider the podunk town of Bloomington.

Does he make it more likely IU will have more commits sooner than later or not

I would think it would help get bigs, knowing how solid the backcourt is shaping up to be.

 

[Cavanagh]

They took my guy to a horse race that wasn’t the Kentucky derby and he was like ya….. get me the F outta here.

COME ON! Now this is a huge get. We got 2 snipers. Dare I say, we are gonna be able to shoot next year for the first time in a decade.

Need a starting PG first.

And make it easier to fill out the roster. This was the break everyone was waiting for to put the DeVries tenure into motion. We should have something to look forward to for next season and beyond.

Please don't jinx him ... vbg

 

[T.M.P.]

We got 2 snipers.

If Goode comes back that's 3 snipers and 4 players who shot 40% from 3 last year.

Cupps was a gym rat, from what I heard.

 

[CriticArisen]

It has been like a never ending shooting horror movie with our guards. It was like Nightmare on East 17th-30. Finally over and Freddy is honest to God dead.

Looks like a good guy that should be a good teammate. If he can play a bit D to go along with that shooting...he will be alot of fun to watch next year.

And CJ Gunn was supposedly a dog albeit more of a Yorkie than a bulldog. Hope Wilkerson is a bulldog.

The time they showed him sitting on the bench during a TO just mindlessly fiddling with his hair, I was afraid he wasn't serious.

 

[Vern Pain]

Wonder if making him go to Keeneland made him say f these guys.

I hope we run a defense rooted in team concepts rather than individual ability ... ie More Bo Ryan than Tom Crean.

Anything new on Goode?

Devries flew out to see him this morning, that's the type of work ethic it's going to take, Indiana made me a priority, didn't want to be just another guy at UK. if you look at the rosters of both teams, he will almost have a guaranteed major role at iu, uk who knows they have a lot of talent. this was one DeVries needed to win, and he did.

will not be back

 

[ams66]

will not be back

Didn't get his waiver, or did but won't be at IU?

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Could put 5 40% plus guys on the court together. Bombs away.

UK looks good on paper but they won’t stretch the floor without a shooter. They are combined 33% shooting team. Where have we seen that before?

 

[gator mcCluskey]

Wow. So everybody was dead wrong about this. We were being told we’d lost him for at least 4-5 days now…

 

[GR8IUFAN]

Heard him say he grew up on Chili's and Applebee's. Keeneland and those folks were probably not his cup of tea.

will not be back

That doesn't make sense. He applied for waiver. If he wasn't planning or can't be back, why hasn't he entered the portal? I guess we'll know for sure soon enough when the portal entry closes, but currently .. that doesn't add up.

Grad transfers do not need to enter the portal

Thanks .. didn't know that.

So why did Pack enter? He's also seeking a med RS. What was different?

Nice!

 

[Pryght]

I don't care what anyone says this was one he needed badly right now.

That is coming from chris the troll on btown banners. He is always wrong though.

We're never able to shoot. I have no doubt Jesus can hit a curveball, but he'd shoot 31% from three for IU.

 

[Seyton]

Cupps was a gym rat, from what I heard.

I still think Cupps will be a solid player before it's all over. Not sure that will be at Ohio State, though. May have to drop down just a bit in class. We'll see.

Ohio State signed him? Wow yeah not seeing that one but good luck to him.
