Not sure I follow ya here. 🤔 He's 6'5/6'6 can play on the ball. Shooting percentages aren't universal. You would also think he would have some switchability on defense. I also think we will need another ball handler NEXT season to cushion Cupps from having to do it all. And Cupps CAN shoot/spot up. This kid also rebounds well= getting out on the fast break quicker=easier shots for everyone I can't tell whether or not we should recruit this kid... but I'd watch the film before I just look at the #s and say no.

Oh, I agree. And "fit"plays a big part in how any transition would go. I am not saying no, I am saying I don't see what makes him stand out more than about 50 other guards in the portal with seemingly similar skill sets. More curious why @ButlerHoosier singled out this target, in particular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are normally really good on guard play. Plus a 6'5 pg will help on defense. Plus I don't know if X is getting an extension by all signs it seems he would but it would help alleviate ball handling duties on Cupps. He's from Australi and worth at least a flyer on. Gonzaga has had some pretty good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation Noah may go there. Noah missed the last part of the season after 2 concussions. I could see the family liking the idea of his brother being there to watch him.

Another Calipari success story The adage that going to UK to play for Calipari is the quickest way to NBA millions. It really seems that it's boom or bust; swing for the fences down there. When it doesn't work out, it's very much "onto the next." **generally speaking** If players don't go to the NBA after their first year, the lack of player development within the program is exposed, and the players aren't truly getting better. And so they realize how expendable they are. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still falling for his used car salesman pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUCrazy2 Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I just want to say that after this off season, I have a new appreciation for Jackson-Davis. It was nice to get to know a good player for 4 years again. Wish we could have got the kid in a spot to get more team accolades but his career was refreshing in this era. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who like to know or follow up on players. Ant Wright (we discussed in other thread) was posting this on Twitter and someone asked him about Matthew Cleveland and Michigan. Ant who played there would obviously know just replied he just wanted a bag. Whether I agree or not these older elite portal guys...this is potentially there one time chance to really get some life changing money.

I just wonder how long this NIL and portal can last the way it is ran now. You think the money would dry up eventually especially if you don't see any returns on your investment. How long will the boosters want to at for a player for one year and see that player go to the portal the next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 2 people who have done things with TJD, Tamar, JHS, Trey,etc....and given their respective businesses it's a cost of doing business thing moving forward for them. To clarify it works both ways though. For example let's just say there is a restaurant or chain of restaurants in Bloomington or Indy or Carmel who have done pretty well. It would be a very foolish business marketing strategy not to get the word out they are pro IU and pro IU NIL. This isn't on the level of Cook or Skodt or Irsay,etc...or even Cuban. But there are dozens of business owners out there in all areas (Banking/Finance, Legal, Healthcare, Restaurant/Hospitality) that want it to be known they are pro IU or IU friendly so to answer your question this isn't ever going away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
