I dont think Harris was on scholarship at Memphis. He should probably go down a level - would be a good player in the Valley or OVC

Not to derail it but if there is fire to the Hunter smoke I wonder if ISU starts looking at more guards.

Brandin has a lot of skill on offense and very well could be a great pickup for sure.
Agree. A tough pitch though. The type of guys we’d be after to replace him likely aren’t interested if he’s here

Changes up the recruiting pitch a lot if you go from "come play with Tyrese" to "Tyrese and Brockington showed out here, you can come be the man." Maybe that opens some doors that were closed before?

The hardest part IMO is being able to still go get a Vander Plas or a Basile when I'd guess a big part of the pitch was a budding star at PG to facilitate. Maybe given their games/skill sets those guys may like the opportunity to really be "the guy" at the B12 level? It'll be interesting to see.

We would have a ton to sell. Hopefully not too late in the game. And I agree it would make luring a senior forward looking to win a little harder.

Hunter was great for a freshman more than he was great. I think Williams can be just as good defensively at 6'5", likely finish in a similar manner, and hopefully he shoots 3P equally as his shoulder heals.

But a major bummer from a few weeks ago thinking there was a slim chance we could have a Hunter, AJ, IB backcourt, with some other options added, and an improved frontcourt

I haven't seen it put any better than this. The biggest loss isn't what he did this past season so much as it is what we'd hoped we would see him become (assuming he is gone, anyway). Hunter is an elite defender IMO and that stings, but I don't think replacing his production on offense last year is an unreachable goal.

Due to his size and shooting, I thought he would be a high production guy for at least 3 years. Likely elite as a junior or senior. That stings. There is no denying that Hunter and Williams is better than just Williams at pg.

But we can still be better than last year if Hunter leaves imo. Add AJ (please pay Kyle what is needed), get BVP/Basile, Ward, and add another transfer pg/combo that can shoot and wants some high volume in a P6 conference.

Don't want. Seemed to be some toxic stuff surrounding him in the Memphis locker room
With these types, I just get excited that a spot may fill at another P6.

Memphis could be a competitor for someone we're looking at, but it seems we don't target the same guys much anymore.

But maybe they'll offer Jones big NIL

They said the same about the guy that's your avatar. Maybe he just needs a different coaching staff; you can't turn that type of talent away.

I’ve heard the actual source of their headache was his dad. I think ISU does a good enough job with problematic dads in the program to try and offer him.

I'm hearing we can expect to see Tyrese's name in the portal by next week. This really sucks, but when all your friends are getting paid to go to a different school, it's hard to argue with that decision. Heard UNC is unlikely, but it sounds like, at the minimum, he's going to test the water.

All of his friends? As in AAU friends? His HS teammate that is going to WI?
