I guess IU has reached out to Lamar Wilkerson from Sam Houston St. 6’5 SG. Big time scorer. Sounds like Arkansas and Calipari will be hard to beat.
Lamar Wilkerson

DeVries needs to outbid Calimari. Ask the Simons to pony up.
I’ll happily take a guy that shot 45% from three on eight attempts per game.
While Coach DeVries may be swinging and missing on some guys he wants, you know he's watched and is continuing to watch an incredible amount of film, with an expert's eye. Not just the highlights of every shot going in. And making calls to evaluate, to recruit. I'm sure the selection of good players is a lot wider for coach, with his approach, than just the top names the pundits put out there.
Sure, 'all coaches' are doing that. But the guys he worked for at Creighton indicated his effort won't ever let us down. And he's very experienced and smart.
Sure, fingers crossed, but optimistic.

I know Bobby was Wilkerson for sure. I thought Sherron was Wilkinson. But you may be right.
Florida is playing for a natty with guys like this. This is the way.
So he’s familiar with AH. That’s a positive since a lot of opposing players have said it always felt special to play there. I know Robbie Hummel has said this.
Wilkerson's shot reminds me of Blackmon's. Hopefully his defense is better. All of the blue bloods were after this guy... That said, he is testing the NBA waters.
According to BTB, Trilly is calling it too.

Unless he is going to be drafted in the first round, I'll bet he can maximize his value by being well paid at Indiana and prove it to the NBA playing high major ball.
Damn this is going to be fun to watch...

What is a made three-point shot?
This roster is looking pretty good. This is why everyone hit the bricks imho. Mbacko was the only one who kind of fit. The rest just don’t. Way different look coming. Bombs away!!!
Really don't think MM is a good fit at all. He is slow of foot and really struggles defensively which is what CDD hangs his hat on.
GoHoosiers
I’d be very pleased with a good perimeter shooting team that plays great defense. Anything that doesn’t resemble the past 8 years is welcome news.
It's amazing what one commitment and a couple of rumors will do for a fanbase. Much different feeling today than yesterday
One of those shots from outside the arc, where there's a whistle stopping play, but one of our guys continues and tosses it toward the basket and it goes thru. It's not something that occurred during live play. For us anyway.

It would take serious dedication to play worse defense than Blackmon. You’d basically have to just lay down on the court.
So is Houston. Pack and this dude would be the opposite of Myles and Carlyle.
You sound like the king of crazy land. MM wasn't remotely interested in making more than about 4 cuts per game. If the action wasn't for him, he was late and soft handed. Zero body control.
Bailey is 6’10” and shot 41% from 3? Damn. Even if that’s only 2-3 attempts/game, still, damn. Although I do remember Archie bringing in some guy (can’t recall the name) from somewhere in Illinois who was 6’10”-6’11” and was supposed to be a good 3pt shooter. Don’t recall him doing shit after he got here.
Fitzner? He was from California though. 6'10" deadeye shooter, we were told, who couldn't do much of anything.
your thinking of bud, I think he coached Oklahoma football 80 years ago
You have to remember to stick to the group think narrative that he's trash and lazy..
He played out of position as a corner guy in Woodson's offense and had to guard quicker players often. Neither fit him well. Put him at four on a team oriented defensive scheme that doesn't gamble - hence less rotations less mistakes - and relies on team connectivity and positioning instead of individual defensive focus and who knows ..
Woodson, like Crean, fielded teams based on induvial defensive ability, it was made for athletes. You can build defense through team concepts. Like Wisconsin did...
But, I don't think his issue is laziness or lack of skills like many believe. His reaction time on almost any play is slow. Like he's either overthinking, being way too careful, severe lack of confidence or just basketball dumb. Even simple plays .. it seems he has a hesitation. All but the last - being dumb - can be fixed.
Doesn't matter .. he gone.
