We dodged one there IMO... No disrespect, but he's a terrible shooter and a better mid-major player

Problem is Purdue has a great culture and good atmosphere for basketball as well. It's not like we are going against a team that has no fans show up and hasnt proven themselves to be a good tournament team. So I am not sure if they offer more money than us what we can really claim over them. If it's some team like Memphis or Oklahoma I would say we have a better shot.
Not surprising to see KU cleaning house. TJ definitely has a knack for finding players in the that fit his system and sticking to it.

Sure, but different things appeal to different players. Our culture may be more to his liking for whatever reason.

On the other hand, Purdue has had a lot more success using their bigs than we have. Could be a selling point for them.
Maybe - but he didn't play AT ALL. Less than Kelderman or Rock did for us. He played a total of 29 minutes and went 1-11 from the field and 0-3 from the FT line.
So if they were to bring him in - it would need to be off of previous scouting, etc. Seems like he probably needs to go down a level
While I doubt TJ would hold it against a player for wanting to take his visits, I'm sure the manner in which a player talks about their process gives him an indication whether they are a cultural fit with how he likes to do things.
As Rohde seems to be closer to a viable addition I'd like to make the Rohde/Dix comparison. I feel they are practically the same player size/skill set. They both are good with the ball in their hands facilitating the offense as well as solid spot up shooters. Rohde appears only to be a more bargain option because of the offense he is coming from. Throw Rohde on Iowa last year and he's getting 15pts a game.

One difference major difference - Rohde is considered a pretty good defender. Dix played for Mad Fran.As Rohde seems to be closer to a viable addition I'd like to make the Rohde/Dix comparison.

Completely agree. Someone posted some data from the six games he played pg too. Tons of assists and very few turnovers. We need that with Tamins health. We need a few players that can facilitate.As Rohde seems to be closer to a viable addition I'd like to make the Rohde/Dix comparison. I feel they are practically the same player size/skill set.

Just on how many roster spots to fill. Also, if Freitag wants to play a larger role this year it wouldn't be here.
this dude is still playing
Only played 9 games this year

Dix is not a bad defender. He is a product of Fran’s system. He wasn’t taught or expected to play good defense
I would guess so
i remember him being one of the first to kick off the whole NIL thing. Didn't he get like 900K or something to goto Miami
Yeah and everyone said that was crazy and no way teams can sustain that. Now we are offering 1.5 million for one season and getting turned down.
That is the pure scorer most everyone on here would love to see in Cyclone uniform. He was lights out.
