Ragland needs to suck it up and offer this kid. These Indiana kids that can shoot the ball have a history of success in college basketball. Could be. Once they get to D3 I don't really follow them. So I checked. Hanover has four Hoosiers shooting greater than 40% from distance. Impressive. Wabash College features Hoosier Vinnie Buccilla who drops them at a 46% pace. Anderson has a Hoosier that blazes at 43%. Maybe Rags can suck it up and snag some of these Hoosier sharpshooters from the portal to join Dunham.

The Aces brought in Shea Feehan from Eureka a few seasons back. He had averaged something like 35 ppg in the D-3 ranks. When a kid who shoots gets open, squared up and in synch, he can make shots. The difference is that in D-1, the players who can shoot are also pretty good at keeping shooters from squaring up. Feehan didn't even finish his master's program and was booted from the team. When McCarty could do that, well ...............
I read a little about kids from around the state who are looking to play ball at the next level. They usually are good enough to play for a sectional winner in the mid-level classes. Most of them end up at IU-East or Wilberforce or DePauw. If they are good enough to get a ride at a D-1 program, we all hope they aren't Alex Matthews.

If he had played any minutes at all for UE, we could have at least had that. He probably is where he needs to be. I've watched some juco ball on some streams and it's not very good now.

From the little bit that I saw of him, I thought that he looked promising. We would have had a stronger bench this year with him. But his body language screamed that he would soon be gone. Sometimes the puzzle pieces don't fit together.

Sometimes the puzzle pieces don't fit together. From everything I’ve heard, he wasn’t a fan of the academic side of UE and was culturally a McCarty kind of recruit despite being brought in by Todd. Gotta find guys that can get it done in the classroom and on the court at UE

If the reporting is true that he was considered a Mr Kentucky basketball finalist, even if only marginally, he must have ability. But character matters when textbooks and academic eligibility are in the mix. I doubt that McCarty would agree with me on that and Todd was throwing Hail Mary passes from his rocking chair.

Visit to Bellermine on Sunday and next week will be at USI game. UE appears to be missing out. Dylan Penn, Swope, Eberhard all over again.

Seems to me Rags likes big guards,not saying that small guards are bad. But the ones he has signed are tall.

Your source must be The General Robert Montgomery Knight? Lol IF that were true, his source would be right.

If he wants to come to UE but Rags says no he can go elsewhere such as a D2 or JUCO, see how he does and always hit the portal for bigger and better things. I have seen him play and he is a nice high school player but his size is against him. To me he is not D1 MVC material at this point.
