i’m still just really surprised we didn’t go for demary though lol

 

[TrippieRedd]

So Iowa went 17-16 this season with 3 five star transfers….crazy

He must be asking for more than we can offer. I love him as a player. Of course maybe the staff didn't, lol.

With no information on this, I’m interested by someone like Cofie. Especially seeing him on this list. Freshman, intriguing type that can shoot. We can’t get all 1 + done guys, need a strong base especially if we don’t recruit HS heavily

 

[JMSqb11]

Taking players from non power 4 schools in the portal is such a crap shoot. You have guys like Sears, Clayton jr and Broome who become all Americans and then you have guys Darlinstone who looked liked he didn't belong at all besides a few moments.

To be far to Dubar, he had off the court issues that somewhat sidelined his season

 

[CamVol8]

Is Mckneely already on his visit now or does he arrive tonight?

 

[PowerT.]

PG: Gillespie
SG: McKneely
SF: Anyone with offensive game and can get to rim
PF/C: okpara/ Estrella/ someone with serious offensive game

Looking better than this past squad imo

 

[TrippieRedd]

Really want that Steen kid.

KJ Lewis is a dog. I know he can't shoot, but I like his intensity.

I'd be curious to see what Barnes could do with Ivisic. Seems like he could play the role meant for Igor, but he's a lot more aggressive, which seemed to be Igor's downfall.

I'd be ok with a lockdown D guy at the 3 spot, but we definitely need a 4/5 that's a serious scoring threat

from texas, seems like a houston type player they’ll take

 

[ChiPAVOL]

This is from Illinois board and the dude is barely off. Is in the inner circle with Trilly.

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

Not sure what's going on with Elyjiah Freeman but I still want him as our Small Forward

He shot them out of some games...

30 minutes and 0-10 at Auburn in a game they lost by just 7

He battled some injuries though most the season so not sure how much of that contributed to his lack of minutes.

 

[Delmar]

Anybody heard where Lindeborg might be leaning? Watched him in the AAC tournament and he looks like an NBA player. 6-9 and about 230. Good moves around the basket and can handle the ball. Was bringing it up the court a lot in the games I watched. The kind of offensive player inside that we could use but could use some of the defensive tutelage that Barnes can provide. Don’t know if he has the temperament to listen to Rick though. Would be interesting.

It would be interesting,

Although, I always thought he had a good relationship with Calipari.

Could just be his way of getting more NIL money imo.

Personally, I think he sucks

Pretty good inside presence too and blocked a lot of shots

 

[JRVOL11]

can’t wait for that gillespie visiting soon post

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Gillespie at the point gives you a bit more scoring firepower than ZZ offered. Seems like he's also still really good defensively too.

McKneely is a very good shooter and can dribble, slightly better defensive player than Chaz and more consistent scoring than Gainey. Curious if he can improve his numbers here without the burden of being the main offensive threat.

Freeman is still a 1 year sample size coming from Division II...he's not going to match his production at that level here...but with 3 years left he seems like a guy you absolutely take if he's willing.

Oh my goodness no. He couldn’t guard a traffic cone.

Curious about why Adrian Wooley isn't even in the top 35 of that EvanMiya chart...

18.8 ppg, 51.2% FG, 42.2% 3PT, 5.2 rpg, 3.6 apg, 1.4 spg

And on sports reference Wooley's offensive rating is higher than Chaz for this season with a defensive rating on par too...

247 & On3 both have Wooley as a top 5 player in the portal as well.

I personally wouldn’t put a lot of stock into it.

Evan has 3 Iowa players as five stars and they went 17-16

Elliot Cad is 100000000% not the 5th best transfer.
