So is it too late in the day now for any news on more transfers I’m guessing? I know Chris007 said he heard either today or the weekend, but maybe today won’t be it.

If it is indeed more than one player just today that are being added to the list of transfers out, I’d like to think (and hope) that Archie has a plan set out with players he knows are going to take their spots, instead of it being a case of “well we got rid of who we wanted, so now what?” I’m leaning more towards the think than the hope. I just can’t see all these players being gone and Archie not have replacements in mind that are pretty much locked in to take over. Although it’s never really fun to see kids have to move elsewhere, it’s also exciting to see what Archie is able to create now that it appears he’s taken the bull by the horns and making a roster of his liking.

If any other transfers were happening, would we have known of them by now and the news been released? I’m not saying I hope to see anyone else go, but it sure helps paint a better picture of the situation heading into next season as far as how many more guys we have to try to get to commit if additional players on the current roster aren’t going to be here.

I'm definitely excited about having TJD and Franklin. Even though we would have obviously welcomed Keion's talent and it would have been nice if he joined us, not getting him is not that big of a deal to me knowing we have the other two in the bag. I know we lose Juwan and most likely Romeo, but having TJD and Armaan join the lineup with a healthy (hopefully) Hunter, we for sure have the potential to be better next year. If Hunter is healthy and can be 100% for the season, i'm probably excited about him the most. If he was available this season we wouldn't have been in the bubble situation we are in.

I think it’d be different if Trayce and Armaan were going to support their friend as kids who were NOT already committed to the school Keion may announce. The fact that Trayce and Armaan are going and are committed players to a team in his top 2 has to mean something positive for us. Who knows, Keion could have contacted them himself to tell them they ought to come....and if he DID do that, then why would he pick the rival school?

Yeah my feeling says he just won’t want to pass up playing with his friends and staying home to represent his home state. He knows how he’d be treated here and his name would carry way more weight as a Hoosier. Everyone switching their picks to Kentucky could be just what they are trying to make happen, and then bam, make all the “experts” wrong.

Two more crystal ball picks for UK tonight...man I hope it’s all false info and Keion/family are just leading people on to make it a shocker when he picks IU and make these picks wrong. I really really hope Trayce knows something and is going for reasons other than basic support for a friend.

No not sure what article it is from at all, sorry...but i definitely do remember him and that quote when he left Fort Wayne. When I saw someone post it with today’s date as a new thing, it sparked a “wtf?” moment with me because I swear I had seen the exact same type of thing mentioned back when he left Fort Wayne.

I don’t see how after today’s loss we think it’s over with Keion. That comment of leaving his home to secure his future was made way back when he left FW to play at La L, and I highly doubt yesterday when Archie met with him he said “Coach, if you lose tomorrow’s game I’m not gonna go to IU.” In my opinion, today’s loss has no effect on Keion at all. It’s not this year’s team that he will be playing with. Am I 100% sold on him coming to IU, no...but I’m surely not ruling it out.

Yep, just about the only thing that can get this loss out of my mind fairly quickly is some good news tomorrow night. How great would it be if Romeo, Trayce and Keion have all talked about and formulated a plan to play together next year at IU.....highly unlikely and obviously a dream scenerio, but dang that would make this season hurt a lot less.

Feel bad for Green having a hot shooting game like that and we lose because no one else showed up.

Stupid, Fitz!!!!

Green with that floating half court pass turnover ruined the huge momentum we could have had there.

What the hell kind of pass was that Green???!!!! And then they get a 3 out of it!!!!
