Portal Nick Dorn Portals from Indiana to Miami (Long Term Discussion Thread)

[TheRichtShow]

Good. pickup. He's exactly the type of player the posters who have called for more shooting should be thrilled about.

6'7" wing who shot 38% from 3 and showed last season he can play at the high major level as a role player.

It's possible he starts, but more likely he fills the rotation spot Timo played last year

 

[Calinative]

Why are they calling him a junior? He was a junior last season. He's played 3 full NCAA seasons so he's a Senior this year. Right?!

idk, but if NCAA moves to 5 yrs after HS/19yrsold....

We’ll see, but I think he’ll start over dante

He slots in perfectly between Lewis and Henderson and was already playing about 23 min a game at Indiana. I think Dante plays quite a bit too.

Welcome to the U!

i very much like this pickup, exactly the kinda guy we needed. seems like an elite catch and shoot guy, will play perfectly next to Lewis' pick and roll game. gives flexibility for Dante to play some more point instead of having to be the wing shooter primarily on offense.

Nice pickup. Good shooter.

Hopefully, the competition for PT means they'll push each other, which should be a good thing for both, and the team.

Dante did play well for a true Freshman. I'd expect him to be better in Year Two. Unlike Dorn, I think Dante still has a ceiling he hasn't reached yet.

I think he’s a better stylistic option to be next to Lewis more. More of a catch and shoot guy. But I think they’ll swap and Jai will figure out what pairing works best. Dorn’s three ball or Dante’s defense. I’d bet Dante starts out, but Dorn will be starting at the 2 come March.

Sneaky good pickup that should pay dividends

 

[jifarina]

hurt at beginning of the year. There were high expectations of him at IU this past season. These types of pickups make the roster deeper. Good get.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Poking around on some IU forums, seems like this dude got red hot for like 2 weeks, but was otherwise pretty meh. Agreed with whoever said it above, this is probably a Timo upgrade, but my guess is he's not a starter.

Thread '4-star PG Darius Bivins has wrapped up official visit to Miami'

Apr 26, 2026

Another basketball recruit spent a few days in Coral Gables. 5-foot-11 guard Darius Bivins took his official visit to Miami over the past few days per LeagueReady.



And by all accounts, the trip went well (they usually do for Jai Lucas). Bivins arrived on campus this weekend and stayed in town until Sunday to get a view on what Miami has to offer compared to other schools interested in him.

Ranked No. 77 overall in the class of 2026, Bivins has also gone on visits to see Texas Tech and Rutgers. He is also ranked the No. 8 point guard and the No. 5 overall player...
