Hoosiers Add Reed Bailey From Davidson

On Sunday, IU received a major shot of optimism as the Hoosiers landed a commitment from coveted big man Reed Bailey fro

That’s weird. Listening to some of the people on this message board, no one wants to come to play for CDD at Indiana.

Yep - we don't have 13 five stars on the roster already so we may as well fire him already and get a new guy in here

he has nice touch

with both hands

 

[TR32]

Impressed! Looks like a player to me. Scored 19 against Gonzaga in a test of how he plays vs big time programs.

Very good get.

Welcome Reed! Looking forward to watching you as a Hoosier!

But in this era, I'll only really know that a player 'committed' once they trot out in candy stripes.

A good post pasted below from RR.



Before his injury, Andrew Carr was a really good player--even dominant at times. We would not have beaten Duke or Gonzaga without Carr playing awesome. Having said that, Bailey would be an upgrade over Carr. He is more fluid and athletic, a quicker jumper and he can launch a decent three point shot without being totally wide open with his feet perfectly set. Hopefully, Folgueiras will commit to UK and bring those same qualities.

I liked seeing him switch hands without much hesitation or awkwardness. Made me think 'gym rat', lol, or maybe he's a natural.

This is the kind of forward to play a solid role on any team. I was seeing a lot of confidence by Kentucky fans on forums.

Glad we got him! Nice get Coach Devries.

Kinda like Mckenzie Holmes

Good vision, hands, and footwork.

Interesting that those who've been complaining about CDD not getting any players have nothing to say about "the new recruit."

It takes longer to figure out how they can phrase 'Devries is now forced to overpay for a mid-level recruit who only wants the bag' without sounding more stupid.

Good pickup nice motor nice outside shot for a big.

I want to be able to hear that recruited X has lightning, quick hands, and feet, can jump out of the gym and doesn’t miss.

At 6'-9" and 190, you wonder about wear and tear of battling bigs with 50 to 60 lbs plus in the BT.

 

[edub72]

I read he’s 6’11 235lbs

Those are his NIL negotiating numbers. 😎

 

[ndhuntington]

Well we fired Garl so hopefully DeVries has a strength and medical staff that is top notch.

Yes, kind of like the three players on Blue Chips were quoted as taller than they actually were. I think Matt Nover's character was listed at 6'10" or 11.

If he’s better than Carr it’s a really good pick up. I’d take a Carr every year.
