Chris is right. The question will come down to how aggressive IU is in pursuing Mangas and if they ever offer.

Sure it's a possibility. TJD might be worse in Woodson's system too. It's all maybes and what ifs at this point.

Well he does. He's been seeing him light it up in practice for weeks now.

He's not transferring. He's withdrawn his name and said that there was a mix up that led to his name getting entered.

Fife and Rosemond need to get it together and start landing some recruits already in order to catch up with Hunter lol

Miles Colvin a 2023 guard from Heritgae Christian also picked up an offer from IUPUI this week.

Sign him up. Plus he looks like Larry Bird lol

Last time I checked the reigning national champions started 6'2, 6'3, 6'4, 6'5, and 6'10 all season. Playing 3 guard lineups isn't a problem at all.

That's what his title was when he was originally hired and he hasn't changed his twitter account at all since he was originally hired. I'm not sure if Woodson has given them specific titles.

I will update this list as guys re commit, commit, or transfer out. Woody and company now have 2 available scholarships to play with and no players left in the portal. IU will have a max of 13 scholarship players since Joey Brunk has left the program. 1. Rob Phinisee 6'1 2. Parker Stewart 6'5 3. Anthony Leal 6'5 4. Trey Galloway 6'4 5. Jerome Hunter 6'7 6. Logan Duncomb 6'9 7. Trayce Jackson-Davis 6'9 8. Khristian Lander 6'2 9. Jordan Geronimo 6'6 10. Race Thompson 6'8 11. Xavier Johnson 6'3 12. TBD 13. TBD

Super Early Lineup Projection 1. Xavier Johnson 2. Rob Phinisee 3. Parker Stewart 4. Who knows 5. TJD Lander plays the 1 when he subs in. XJ moves to the 2. TG and Leal get time at the 2 and 3. If IU gets another wing that changes things. I don't have a clue on the 4 and 5 yet.

I think people have over hyped the 6'5-6'8 stuff. I think that's what he might want in a perfect world but at the end of the day he also probably wants guys that fill certain roles well. If they are a little smaller than I'm sure Woody will find a way to maximize things and make it work.

I doubt he leaves IU for a couple years. He loves the school to much and wants to see things turned around.

I don't see the problem. He could help fill a need to help with shooting and he's a winner that can bring in some leadership. He only fills the scholarship for 1 year which would help with class balance for recruits moving forward. Yes, I know the new transfer rules make class balance tougher but it still allows for more flexibility.

That's incredible. Actual footage of the IU basketball team working on shooting the basketball lol

Probably not. They'll find a way to cancel their season again.

Well Hunter is a career 32% 3 point shooter and a 64% career FT shooter. I think he could have a decent year but he's not going to be a star or anything because he doesn't have a secondary skill. He also hasn't shown he can beat anyone off the dribble. I also don't think he could guard me and that's the biggest problem. He has to be able to defend especially since IU doesn't have a rim protector at the center spot. I don't think it's a given anyone transfers. I just think this speaks to how much several guys not just Hunter need to improve.

Boooom Baby! Boom! Boom! Boom! RIP Slick Leonard at true Hoosier and Indiana basketball legend!

I know what Rabby said. People think Mitchell will go wherever Tony Bergeron gets a job since he's the reason Mitchell went to UMASS in the first place. The problem is I haven't seen Bergeron's name brought up at all which makes me think that he's not gaining any traction for any assistant coaching jobs.

Hard to say for either. I didn't see enough from either to know and honestly neither did you. For both it will come down to how they develop this summer. As for if they will leave if that happens it better be there choice otherwise that won't turn out well to run off guys from the state that love being at and playing for IU. That right there is counter productive to what Woody is wanting to do in fixing the IU culture. I'm starting to think Hunter is a MAC player on offense and a DIII player on defense. He has 1 skill and that's it. So I think it'll be him if there is another transfer. That said I think a lot of players were misused in the past couple of years.

He made one comment but that’s it. He said “letting it fly” when Woodson talked about shooting threes. I don’t think that necessarily is supporting the hire or saying he’s staying at IU.

I've even heard that IU has had some level of contact with Kyle Mangas which tells me they are searching high and low for roster upgrades.

The names that have been mentioned that are still available are Kopp, Nickleberry, and Bates. I don't think any other names have been said to have been contacted by IU.

Well Woody has already filled his staff.

I only bring this up because I haven't heard any news about him at all to this point but does anyone know if Kenya Hunter recruited Tre Mitchell while he was at UCONN since UCONN was viewed as the favorite until UMASS hired his high school coach to be an assistant?
