Hatton probably will see limited minutes so for most of the time we won't be playing two bigs at one time. Mgbako should be a 4 in college, heck Goode played some "4" at Illinois. So Ballo and Reneau are not expected to be in the starting lineup? On 6/26/2024 at 1:29 PM, IUFLA said: Not surprised you parrot the idiotic HH dude...not surprised at all...

What would that make Brad UnderWoody? The name may say it all. LOL, no. You guys brought up that stat, I'm laughing that this is what is important to you, I'm more interested in Big Ten titles and NCAA results.

Woodson has crushed him with less talent. Illini got bounced in first round with one of the most talented teams int the country. Reminds me of Purdue Speaking of confused..... Illinois was in the Elite 8. What year do you think it is? But good point, Purdue also had a great run in the tournament so I see the connection. On 6/27/2024 at 9:49 AM, IUFLA said: Speaking of...

13th&Jackson Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 5 hours ago, Drroogh said: The new BIGs top Twenty impact transfers! https://bustingbrackets.com/posts/ncaa-basketball-top-25-team-winners-from-2024-transfer-portal-results-01j12mcse2e4/24 3. Indiana Hoosiers Despite the team’s struggling performance last season, Kel’el Ware proved to be one of the better impact transfers from the portal, leading the team with 15.9 ppg and 9.9 rpg. He ended up getting drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft, leaving behind a large gap inside. The Hoosiers may have found an even better center from the now-defunct Pac-12. Oumar Ballo is a 7’0 center from Arizona, coming off averaging 12.9 ppg and 10.1 rpg, and another all-conference performer. He’s one of the best defensive big men in the country and an outstanding rin-runner who can come in and anchor Indiana inside. Bellarmine transfer Langdon Hatton (10.5 ppg and 7.1 rpg) adds frontcourt depth for the team off the bench, The other former Pac-12 guards joining the team are Myles Rice and Kanaan Carlyle. Rice averaged 14.8 ppg and 3.8 apg in his first full season at Washington State after recovering from a cancer diagnosis, while Carlyle produced 11.5 ppg and 2.7 apg in his first season at Stanford, shooting 39% from the field. Luke Goode (5.7 ppg) shot 39% from three-point range and gives Indiana needed floor spacing for next season. Landing three of the top available transfers was a big win for Coach Mike Woodson and the Hoosiers and as long as shooting isn’t an issue, they should be a contender in the Big Ten. Yes, the big remaining question mark. Anyone who argues that Rice (44%, 27%) and Carlyle (39%, 32%) will add shooting is just speculating. We all hope so, but they weren't strong shooters last season. Don't think they'll be hesitant to shoot, but they still need to make them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept scrolling and thought we were going to have 1-3. That should motivate Carlyle. No way there are 20 transfers in the B1G better than him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One site has a player #3, the other doesn't even have him in the top 20. And we are talking about in the conference, not the nation. That discrepancy is an absolute joke and shows some people just put out content for the sake of putting out content. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good player and would like to have him in '25 but he seems insistent on starting college this season and there's no role for him at UI. Probably didn't help that Illinois told him they didn't want him as a reclass and then took Riley who did reclass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceDouglas Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Big Ten transfer talk. Really hits here how many transfers there really are. Didn't realize Nebraska was adding so many guys from other B1G programs. https://247sports.com/longformarticle/realistic-expectations-for-every-2024-25-big-ten-basketball-transfer-portal-233459554/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
