Probably could have been more clear. Meant the 3 to mean with portal AND a decommit (Tucker)Tucker is a hs senior. IU has 2 portal as of now. Carlyle hasn't visited yet.

I agree. And we should win 2 games at least. If Woodson cannot take millions in NIL and build a really good team, then he simply needs to go.Yes, definitely, especially at the guard position. Plus, with the addition of Ballo and the likely improvement of Mgbako and Reneau there is zero reason why IU should not comfortably make the tournament.
Pretty sure they have been pushing for him. At least from what has been reported.IU will make a huge mistake if they don't go after Conwell.
Depends…You don’t think our perimeter play will be better?
I like Carlyle because he has 3 years of eligibility left. That could be huge going forward. Nothing wrong with getting them both.Yeah I don’t understand Caryle being the priority over Conwell.
We won’t get both. These guys are going to transfer to a place they play. Conwell has 2 years left. I prefer Conwell, Indiana kid and can shoot.I like Carlyle because he has 3 years of eligibility left. That could be huge going forward. Nothing wrong with getting them both.
agreeGoing off what i read on twitter we are going to be a top 15 team so no excuses next year. Woodson needs to deliver period.
Zero excuse to miss the tourney next year. That should be guaranteed termination. We had better not only make it, but make the S16. Anything less, and he risks termination. If he makes it, then gets slaughtered in the first or second game, it should be the end of the experiment.Going off what I read on twitter we are going to miss the tournament again next year. I don’t know if that excuses Woodson or not.
tough crowd....lol . I agree sweet 16Zero excuse to miss the tourney next year. That should be guaranteed termination. We had better not only make it, but make the S16.

Carlyle was a freshman. He was very good his first year and has a lot of room to get way better. Having both him and Galloway makes the team that much stronger.Wood Carlyle be an upgrade over Galloway? Neither are shooters and similar PPG last year
On that Carlyle/Trey comparison. Guys do improve year over year. Yogi wasn't much of a shooter his first year, but got a lot better going forward. And please work on that "Carlyle" spelling.😉Depends…
Rice is probably better than Cupps/X from 3
Galloway/Caryle—-similar numbers
MM- volume should go up
MR- similar numbers
Ballou - Won’t shoot any, Ware volume gone here.
One thing is for sure..we will be better at the PG position and we need some bumps from MM and Galloway/Caryle for us to be a good shooting team
yea but he badly needs to improve his ball handling.Yeah. MM could be seriously good next year if he steps it up in the off-season and makes good progress throughout the regular season. Come tourney time, he could be fire. He was our best shooter as a freshman and might be again regardless of who we bring in. And his drives to the hoop improved tremendously last year. Just more strength and explosiveness would be huge for him there.
that's how Daily Hoosier spells his name CarlyleOn that Carlyle/Trey comparison. Guys do improve year over year. Yogi wasn't much of a shooter his first year, but got a lot better going forward. And please work on that "Carlyle" spelling.😉
Sweet sixeteen should be the minimum requirement in year four with a loaded roster. Also top three in big ten. He will once again have more five star players than anyone else in the league. Crean made the sweet sixeteen in year four and he started with zero players. Woodson started off in a way better position.Only time will tell, Next year is HUGE for Woodson (an understatement)
Yea. This team is loaded with talent, much of it with college experience.Sweet sixeteen should be the minimum requirement in year four with a loaded roster. Also top three in big ten. He will once again have more five star players than anyone else in the league. Crean made the sweet sixeteen in year four and he started with zero players.

Assuming we get Carlyle and he gets at least a shooter and frontcourt depth/bench with 2 more spots, I think this team is much better and way more well constructed. I know some don't like Ballo, but honestly I think he's too good not to take. Tucker sounds like he an play the wing and we have Newton back. Seems like a real backcourt with depth and Ballo and Reneau are two likely all B10 types and project as the best frontcourt in the conference and one of the best in the country.As we sit right now...I'll say probably similar. Better if Rice and Tucker end up being as good or better than expected. Maybe not as good if not. How they all fit together, obviously, will determine a lot. And the more starter level perimeter players we sign, that are able to complement and cover weaknesses, the better we'll be. Carlyle or Conwell would be huge. Brea would be huge, Essegian would probably help. Backup defensive oriented big would help.
We need versatile guys that can defend multiple positions. And then obviously shooters. It'd be great if any of the new guys can provide all those things themselves.
true facts, but this is the STFU tourI will make that determination after playing the cupcake part of the schedule. If they struggle again, CMW should be fired
That would get us a new coach, for sure.Talent yes.
We won't be able to guard the perimeter and we'll have nearly 500lbs in the paint that combined shoot just over 50% from the line. One is foul prone and the other goes 25mpg.
I think we're 3 games better.
He improved quite a bit last year. No reason to believe that couldn’t recur.yea but he badly needs to improve his ball handling.
