    I'm almost positive that Mike Woodson promised Chris Tucker that he will start next year.   :)

    His first option just got shut  down by the NBA. Really had nothing to do with being smart just unlucky his original plan got shut down

    Still frame from the Ant Wright video.  Don’t have any idea about what his hand looks like but is said to have a 42” vertical…that looks like it might be legit.

    Tucker isn’t a guard.  If he’s promised a starting job and MM is back, if they are both starting then MM is the 4.  
     
    The assumption that freshman coming in are automatically promised starting jobs is false.  TONS of high ranked players have went to Michigan State and not started and that is where Tucker was assumed to be going.  Think Booker was promised a starting position there?

    100%. The only way to compete is to have financial support these days. This kid was smart! He waited until the spring to commit to hold out for the highest dollar amount possible. Now, Indiana, needing a big splash and some positive news offers this kid money others wouldn't. Good for this kid.

    That is not correct but we have made promises. But hopefully we're paying enough we don't need to pay and promise

    That's a whole helluva lot easier to find than a late committing five star 6'6" natural three.
    Tucker at the three, with Gallo as an option or an end game closer for defense there.

    Anyway, it is a big positive that we landed Tucker.  Let’s see where we go from here

    Point is that lots of high ranked incoming freshman don’t get promises any more because it’s so easy to get a ready made player in the portal.  Ware was a top ten recruit at Oregon and didn’t start.  Nothing ever said about him being promised a starting role there.
    in terms of portal players, it’s a mixed bag in terms of what they are looking for.

    Tucker is a wing.  Most wings can play the small forward or the shooting guard role.  He's now a Hoosier.

    You totally glossed over my first point about Tucker.  BTW, Tamar Bates was a high ranked incoming freshman at IU and he wasn’t a starter and he was here two years.

    I know, and I'm all for Hickman coming to IU.  Don't know the exact level of interest there is in between Perkins and IU, but Hickman is a guy that really fits a need.

    If Perkins were to land at IU, hopefully the staff turns their attention to guards and wings that are spot up shooters.  Perkins is a quality player — great defender, can drive and has handles — but shooting is still a need.
