  [SPEAKER_00]: Mike's son playing basketball over the place, Grant Colling, professional baseball hard to get the two of them together, so in their stead, is Tipton Tribune and Elwood Collieter Sports Editor Michelle Garmin here to talk a little.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I U basketball both men and women.
• 0:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: The shelf for the third year on a row, almost completely different rosters for both.
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully, uh, it would now we can start to solidify those rosters.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: The men in particular look like, they put together something, uh, they could be a group that turns the program around under the breeze.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're in the breeze, uh, really did a great job in the portal this year for, uh, the Hoosiers.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: a year ago he took over a job he had I believe only one assistant when he had to start bringing in players and there was no one returning from the previous roster now he almost had a blank slate again this year because the only returning player is up more transparently who did it
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: job of helping to recruit the players in the portal and he said he had fun at it.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's having fun in the challenge of accepting a little bit of leadership role because he knows to raise a system.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: But he, not only that Darren has a full staff for this portal.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: We also has GM and I think the Hoosiers did a really good job.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hoosiers fans will get their first look at the Hoosiers on July 15th when they play in the America's classic and they play team from Canada, Montreal.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, from Montreal.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, that will be a nice early test just to.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, any elephants can be really harsh critics to a detriment at times because they expect instantaneous stellar play, which I would be more interested to see just how this group looks how they mesh on and off the court, just getting along more of a culture thing, you know, are they having fun together things like that.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited for the men's basketball season this year.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they had, he has a very nice blend of freshmen and a nice blend of portal pickups.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was great to see him get Marcus Burton.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Hoosiers have two big men.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was their weakness last year.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: They weren't real strong inside.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's not going to be a problem this year.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the starting lineup, it's not.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, right.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Hoosiers are already, I mean, they've found.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're looking at big men to the future, too.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are made some nice top six lists today, 2027, Recruit Wembedy, have a leave.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they're also looking at a six to 11.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I believe they've offered a member of the class of 2030, or 2029.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they're just, I think, they've got a good,
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: basis now at down the key will be will they stay after that's right.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: This day.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, shall we would normally be starting with how talented this freshman group is?
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they're going to build for the future.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you can't do that anymore.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can't look at freshman and assume they're going to be there four years from now anymore.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just it's a different world.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But so let's look at it from this aspect.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Darren de Vries.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think today pretty good job with a team that wasn't talented enough to make the NCAA tournament last year and pretty exciting this year.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It looks like on paper a team that's talented enough pretty easily talented enough to make the tournament.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I agree, wholeheartedly and bye.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like is, too, is a, I think he, they've also got some good freshmen that aren't going to have to step up right away.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if he can, if they can blend in a little bit, we'll be really good.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm interested to see if the Harris kid, the transfer from Duke, if he can really knock down some,
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: outside shots like he's looking forward to his opportunity with the Hoosri.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just think it's going to be a fun team.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be an exciting team to watch.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, injuries, of course are always a, you know, a concern, but I like what the reason is doing and I know,
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I won't only say this, you know, Scott, our Dustin May, excuse me, when I think May of Indiana basketball, I think Scott may, great so if I accidentally called Dustin May occasionally for ever talking about him, Scott may that's why.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what supply was there a year too long, but with main moving on up to the NBA, it didn't turn out to be a bad thing for the Hoosiers not to make that higher.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I know there would be, there might be some that say, well, he probably might not have left for the NBA if even I, you, but I disagree, I think the NBA landscape is where he wants to be with the way
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: college basketball is going on.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of the really good coaches know that the what's going on out there right now is not going to be sustainable for decades worth, you know.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that aside, we'll go back just to talking about terms and just basketball.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like it because I use got muscle inside.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got quickness in the back court.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: They should have shooting.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: They should
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: they have some depth.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to seeing Sicily to see how much of a leap up he takes.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I really believe he didn't play as much last years.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think some people wanted him to with a who's your struggle.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I really think part of that was
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: just his physical strength and maturity as a, inside the keys, probably increased his muscles and everything else.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think he could play a key role for the Hoosiers this year as a sophomore, especially because he does no to resist system.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, you talked a little bit about Burton and the big man, Cheryl, and I'm just going to say you get to glue.
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it's not right.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've heard it said, but I'll figure it out soon.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's okay because you're closer to it than I am.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's why I just say big man because I can't.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't pronounce his name without tripping a lower myself.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think the key is probably going to be what they get out of their guards, Darren Harris, Bryce Lindsay, Jaden Moostoff, Bryce Lindsay in particular.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think has a really good opportunity to take a step up in his game and really benefit I.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't just count the freshman Prince Moody.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's something to be said sometimes about kids, it is by buying into a wind,
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: like Indiana University.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what he's done.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I've seen some clips of him play.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: His production was good.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just like it.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he could be, I think he could surprise some people.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Especially if they would suffer any type of injuries and this day and age is all depends on different lineups.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, there are some teams and some games that you need, you want to go be a lot perimeter.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: You may want four out and one in or an always three guard lineup or it's just you can they have a lot of options and I also believe they have a lot more depth this year.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you said in the with the back court, maybe not quite as much depth in the front
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: if they can get at least one game come off and rebound.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just excited.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited for it.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's an unknown now.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say this.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: The men have brought in more familiar portal names than what the women, but I also like what Terry Moore and it's done for the women this year.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a seasoned ticket holder for the women and I'm actually excited for the season.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Perfect transition Michelle.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's talk a little bit about the IU Women's team.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: We haven't talked a whole lot about them here on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Since we've had the Central Indiana Sports Report, the one year, they weren't very good.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we didn't spend a whole lot of time talking about them last year.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we'd like to talk a little bit more on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And although you are going to no question Mr. Best Player looks like it's a program
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we didn't really have any doubt under Terry Moore and that they were, it was going to be a short blip and now they're back on the rise again.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and just a little blip.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it missed the NCT 2 tournament, but they had the mass exodus.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were bitten by the injury to see their big post player that they brought in last year to transfer from UCLA.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: She was a sophomore a year ago.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: The junior this year.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's really talented inside.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, she missed pretty much all of the big 10 season with a lower leg injury and that hurt the losers, but.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: They, you know, Terry Moore, and they were playing their best basketball then.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, unfortunately, again, they had some transfers.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I could see the writing on the wall.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was not surprised with most of the transfers.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: The one that really kind of shocked me was Navaya Kaffee, who was the freshman who started all season last year and was a really good defensive player in a back court player.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: And from what I was told by somebody that's around the program down there, they were kind of a bit blindsided by that she left for more money.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm guessing the people that represented her found away.
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's going too Missouri.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's where she's from the St. Louis area.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So she's kind of going home.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure she's going to make more money than what she can make at IU.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a bad loss in some ways.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm okay with it.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: They do return because they return Z.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: They return sophomore Maya Mackelas from Hamilton, South Eastern, Ms. Basketball, who I thought just got better and better every game and she
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: It did up in the starting lineup and she was really good provides some really good outside shooting.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's just she's a heavy ball player.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: She'll get in there and mix it up on the rebounds.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the leader of this group is Lenay Beaum, a red shirt junior, because she missed her entire sophomore season with a knee injury for Beaumont
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: She'll be looked to be the leader, because she was a cook-aptant along with Shashi Eski last year.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she's got a lot to her game.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: She is, to me, a very reminiscent of Grace Berger.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: She can do the Mediterranean.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: She can drive to the whole.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: She rebounds well.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: She can handle the ball.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: She knocks down three pointers.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's great.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: They brought in some other new transfers.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: They brought in two players from Iowa State.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: One has the last name of hair for tipped in folks.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: People will know if they recognize the name of hair.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: She played AU basketball with Beaumont when they were younger.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so there's a relationship there.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that relationship with the one that helped for them to land her.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: They landed a really,
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: strong defensive player, Noyan who really improved a lot and was coming on at the end of last year and ended up starting and was I use Center when Zee went out with the season when they finally knew her injury was season ending.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Noyan started like the whole last month
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: She transferred to Nebraska and but I you landed just Petri who is an outstanding three point shooter can also play inside and can rebound.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's exciting then they also have got another forward a good rebounding forward in a list of Williams a transfer from Iowa state.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: That to me is kind of nice because you know, her hair played together.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you're bringing in two players that have been on the court together.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: they know how to play off each other.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then I know they've got it brought in a couple players from Canada.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Once a junior, once a freshman, but I'm going to say this.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: To me, I am the most excited about this freshman class that I use bringing in.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to check the battle
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: and Ashlyn James and then the girl from Australia is the sixth but poor girl.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she's going to be a key because she actually joined the program in December last year so she got to practice with them.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So she's already step ahead of the other freshman coming in because she had already was practicing with the Hoosiers and so he's already learning a
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: You got a lot of years both between the professional and college level and for me it's going to be interesting because Terry has always been sometimes reticent to play freshman because I've been learning her system.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: She likes to get out and run and I think.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: This team is gonna be very good at that.
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's got about just six anywhere from like, six to six, three, six, one, six, two, six, three athletes that are gonna be able to run the floor and then she's got some small foot guards.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm really looking forward to this battle.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know I eat people with watch because she played for a prep school that when they play, because the women's and the men are, the girls and the boys prep school,
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: like fissures and how South Eastern and stuff.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she was the MVP of that tournament and had some amazing games.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I've also seen some highlights of her.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she's really good.
• 15:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she likes the defense, Ashlyn.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ashlyn James, Miss Basketball from Kentucky.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: She lit up the Indiana All Stars in the first game down there.
• 15:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it wasn't quite as, this score quite as much the second game, but she really enjoys playing defense.
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: You said, I think it's going to be an exciting, an exciting group to watch for the IU women in it.
• 15:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was the first time that Terry's really went ahead and put like 13 scholarship players, 13 to 15 scholarship players and unicorns.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's always kind of held some in the past, but I think this portal air, air now, you may lose some or, and I use streak of injuries over the last few years, make sure I think
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: the depth.
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And one player real quick, I did not mention because she's put her first two years watching from the silence because of knee injury and injuries and surgeries, and that is the Finn girl, etc.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm anxious to see where she's at and how she comes along because I think it's
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: and mess yourself, you know, this season.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the nice thing is I, you will have enough people around that she should not have to rush herself.
• 16:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've said this all along.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Terry Morton has got one of the best post coaches in the country and where's Beth?
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the brain cancer aside, that man still has done a wonderful job.
• 16:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: You could tell it with the development of Noyen last year.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I just think that he'll do a wonderful job of developing the postburser that you have this year.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alright, Michelle, in your final thing, you wanted to talk a little IU football.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I did, just because I just saw before week.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: started to do this podcast where you had four players, uplisted on the Walter Camp, precies in all America list, two of them, first team that's offensive Lyme and Carter Smith and defensive Lyme and Tyreek Tucker, and then the linebackers, a party and
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jones, Jones, Jones, their second team.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, and I think when it's said done, I knew when final American teams come out could have more than just four players.
• 17:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then, Kurt Signetti, one other thing he, again, has hinted that there is an expansion coming to Memorial Stadium, so I am keeping my eyes out for that to see exactly what their plans are in that regard.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, thanks again, appreciate it.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: And no problem.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And thanks so much for listening.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Please join us next week, hopefully Grant and Michael be able to get together and do an IU report if not Michelle be here to fill in.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Please do us a huge favor share of this podcast with an IU fan in your life.
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Help us spread the word that the Central Indiana Sports Report.
