KoB2011 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 1 hour ago, IUFLA said: You do understand we have some pretty good college players manning the 5, 4, and 1 positions, right? Yes, and Mgbako doesnāt play those positions and none of those guys are what I would call bucket getters despite how good they may be. From a basketball perspective, Mgbako has more of a chance to step in and be the missing piece at his preferred position than any of the other schools. 1 hour ago, IUFLA said: If Mgbako is the best fit of the 3 still on the table in his eyes, then I'm onboard. I donāt think the plan is to stop at just one of them. If he can get Dingle and move Trey to the bench, I think he will. 1 hour ago, IUFLA said: But you yourself in another thread said judging high school kids was subjective. Except with Mgbako, right? Talking about their legacy across generations and competition levels is subjective, yeah. Thatās not a part of the Mgbako discussion. 1 hour ago, IUFLA said: If the Mgbako kid chooses IU and comes in as a freshman and matches Romeo's 17 ppg (with an ailing hand, no less) then I'll be impressed...Ā Thatās great, itās also not the standard. This will be a deeper and more balanced team. I doubt anyone scored 17 PPG next year if we add Mgbako and Dingle.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthomas Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 He is a kid trying to make the best decision for him. There is no loyalty to a school involved in any of these decisions. They all selfish in nature and have nothing to do with playing for the glory of old IU. They are always about what gets these kids where they want to go the quickest. In this college basketball world, especially with the portal, they are all mercenaries. I hate everything about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
