Product and prices may vary by state.
16:18
Yeah, I definitely think it can work.
16:20
Just look to, you know, I'm not saying our front line, Indiana's front line compares to Michigan's front line, but they had three huge guys, you know, even playing with Luxembourg, playing the three, and it worked, right? I definitely think it can work.
16:35
And here's why I've been saying this on podcast, Alex, multiple scoring positions.
16:40
You have low post threat in Iguotolo.
16:44
You have an outside threat in the shooters and Shirell.
16:49
And then you have drivers.

Can he become that guy who's five or six assists a game? I think if he can do that, then all of a sudden the ceiling for this Indiana team is a lot higher.
7:32
for DeVries to be able to put his mark down in relatively short time, I think shows that there is belief out there in what he's putting together at IU and what his system can provide for players like this who have an eye on the NBA immediately.
7:47
Well, anytime you get a top 10, top 15, top 20 guy, you're doing a good job of recruiting.
7:53
And then with this new era now of the transfer portal and that, you can piece – you get four or five of these young kids and you get some transfer guys in.
8:03
And I think the last transfer class was really good for DeVries too.
8:06
So you combine this commitment here – With the recruiting class, and it all has to be done on the court, obviously, but we kind of liked what DeVries did with the shooting of the basketball and the modern pace and all of that stuff.
8:21
The wins just weren't there because of the roster.
8:24
Well, this roster now has really taken shape in one year.

But when you look at this and you look at the way that this staff is now kind of intentionally focusing on certain aspects of how they're playing, where do you expect to see the biggest upgrades for Indiana over the next couple of years in terms of what people have seen versus what they will see?
17:56
But going into next season, I look at Moody and say he's the guy that might be the most ready to plug and play of the three.
18:04
Yeah, I think overall the freshman is the ability to score the basketball.
18:09
You know, and again, we've talked about the competition level, but they're not shy.
18:14
When the ball's open, they shoot.
18:15
And I think that's the freshman.
18:17
I also think that's Coach DeVries is bringing that attitude that we haven't seen in a long time at Indiana.
18:23
They have offensive ability.

Anything else you had written down or anything else that stood out that you wanted to talk about before we wrap up here?
