We have this kid named Symir Torrence.

Just thinking depth. Symir will have the helm, but we are gonna need more than one PG. I guess transfer isn't necessary if they get someone like Hunter.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Also, Akanno next year.  I think we need shooters.

Shooting.  Outside of Koby and Dawson, I don't see a ton of sharpshooting on this team.
Greg can keep teams honest, Jamal shows glimpses, but we need 2 more really good shooters.

Iowa is on line 1. Indiana has some amazing areas. Indy is a great city, and believe it or not, Bloomington is a great college town.

Ehh, I live in Indy, its fine, my theory is that people who love Indy have never lived in another big city and just don’t realize all the things they love about Indy are true about all big cities. When I meet someone that talks about how great Indy is I ask where else they have lived and almost always the answer is some small to mid size midwestern town. Indy is a great event city though with plenty of hotels and bars in close proximity downtown. That’s not particularly relevant if you actually live here though.

Bloomington is a nice college town but I can see plenty of reasons why someone wouldn’t want to live there. It’s not some utopia like the people from there claim. The city would be nothing without the university and while that may be an attraction for some I think a lot of people find that it lacks in opportunities for practical work experience. Based on the small sample of IU interns I have hired a lot of students leave Bloomington for the summer which to me indicates a lack of things going on there outside the university. Also Bloomington is still in southern Indiana so if you get outside the university bubble you should expect to encounter some racism.

I assume you're from Indy? I've lived in the Midwest for 35 yrs. I've hardly heard a positive reference to Indy much less referred to as 'great' - Carmel, Fishers? Different story.

That said, I think Bloomington is an attractive college town.

So what can we expect from Oghodaro and Lewis? Do they just bring size like Theo, Brendan and Jamal and not much scoring?

Oso brings versatility.  He has played and guarded all 5 positions.   Lewis is an athletic banger working to extend his shooting range.

I enjoyed Indy.  Everything nice and close.  Bloomington is fine, but feels like most other college towns to me.

Yeah, we need a shooter equivalent to Markus, but 4 inches taller. There should be lots of guys like that out there.

No need for snide remarks when I never once made mention of a 6'3" Markus-level shooter, ass.
We've lost/will lose a ton of shooting talent: we need to then add shooting talent.

Would be nice if our other two signees could score inside.

This theory checks out for Chicago too.

I’m shocked you’ve been MIA since the program has gotten one of its highest rated recruits in its history.

Why are you such a miserable turd?

Indy 2 buildings over 20 floors.  Chicago 2000.   I actually have no dog in this fight nor did I really count buildings.

People who live in Indy think of it is big and it has some big city amenities. In reality it’s a mid size city. It has the 34th largest metro area population in the US.

Indy itself has the 11th largest population. My point being, it beats the heck out of Iowa. I have lived in Chicago, and Phoenix. It is not as great as Chicago, but I would take it over Phoenix in terms of restaurants, neighborhoods. I am talking the city itself. In terms of Midwest cities, I would rate them as:
1. Chicago
2. Minneapolis
3. Milwaukee
4. Indy
5. St Paul
then a big dropoff
