It's interesting you say this because I watched an Indiana game recently and I liked this MgBako kid (assuming Indiana fires their coach and he goes portalling).
I think he'd be an awful hot commodity though.
Ya. They will have to find a value add like Hason Ward. They can let the rich schools get in bidding wars over known commodity guys from the P5.

Also, with the profit sharing or whatever they are calling it next season, won’t ISU be on a little more comparable footing to the other P5 schools?

He’s not too different than Jones was at Buffalo.

IMO he’d clearly be a take if we lose CuJo
Maybe I was confusing him with Sandfort? Idk, I've only seen them play a couple times and they all looked like the same skinny, soft players who just occasionally shoot really well.

If TJ thinks this kid would be worth a shot, bring him in and lets see what he can do. Dix is a junior, so he would have only one season left.

We have Heise for another year, and I do think Dix would be better than Heise I'm just saying we'd have two guys in that position coming off the bench because we are going to go out and get someone to fill Gilbert's role. That guy is not Dix.

Batemon and Mitchell will likely play some and Nojus is also going to be earning some minutes.

If ISU is adding, I would like to see them pick up a bouncy long armed big.

I assume they will go after a bit to fill the Robert Jones/Chatfield enforcer role. Also likely a combo guard who can create his own shot unless Curtis can come back.

They aren't rolling with only Tamin Nojus, Batemon and Mitchell in that role. They will definitely try to find more experience. Maybe the young guys beat out the transfer, but it will happen.

He doesn't fit TJs style at all so that's a hard pass. The last thing we need is a weakling who doesn't play any defense or rebound.
I am pretty sure if any TJ guard played for Fran, it would look like they don't play defense. I don't know Dix well enough to judge, but I do know Fran well enough to believe there could be unlocked potential in any player.

I’m pretty sure Dix would be a good defender under TJ. Pretty sure Dix is just in a system that does not care about defense
