Can we send this punter back to New Zealand. Sheesh

I definitely did not expect a team with this many returning players to look so out of sync.

Please tell me it was just one jersey *facepalm*

Not a smart move IMO. He was guaranteed 500K with that deal and I don’t see him raking in 500K through NIL at PU over two years. The only reason you turn down that deal is if you think you’re one and done, and PU doesn’t exactly have a track record of players going to the NBA early.

I’m not really sure what to make of this kid. I’ve been watching his Overtime series/AAU footage and generally find myself thinking nothing about him strikes me as a high major D1 player. Then you watch videos like his open run at Xavier and it’s like “ok, I can see it.” That said, he definitely has a motor and was clearly the leader of a state championship winning team as a sophomore. You also have to like the fact that he left Bronny James’ AAU team to prove himself. Downside is he appears to have a relationship with Lebron and you know Lebron will be pushing OSU if this kid jumps in the ranking and OSU offers.

Before I die I really want to know where that fish is lol.

Considering PU fans' go-to insult for us always has some reference to a trailer park, I would love to see Duncomb dominate Caleb Furst with the mullet in full effect. It would be the definition of poetic justice.

Same here. I haven’t even heard of half the places being mentioned but I also haven’t been back to IU since I graduated 10 years ago. Avers was always our go-to. Well, that and Pizza Express breadsticks when I lived at Eigenmann.

I was searching around for details while waiting for my sleep study last night and a couple people were basically saying he had been running his mouth to the guy that ultimately punched him. You can't see the punch in the video but the same individual said the guy came back and Bohannon turned to confront him. You know the rest. Its interesting the press release says Bohannon's friends restrained the guy that did it despite the fact that you can clearly see someone kick Bohannon in the face well after he was punched. Apparently even his friends weren't all that interested in sticking up for him. It sounds like he's known around campus as one of those "Don't you know who I am?" type of guys and this isn't the first time its caught up to him.

I was thinking about next years roster and thought it would be interesting to throw out a starting 5, with some assumptions, and see where people placed our ceiling (in conjunction with our bench, of course). So here goes... 1. Khristian Lander playing up to his 5* billing. 2. Xavier Johnson replicating his production at Pitt with slighter better % from the field 3. Tamar Bates at a 5* level or close to it 4. Miller Kopp replicating his production at NW 5. TJD after developing a right hand and mid-range jumper I know there will be some debate about the lineup (like Stewart starting over Bates), but what would your expectations be if that scenario played out?

Geronimo. During his HS season he said he was shooting 44% from 3 until the coach asked him to start taking over on offense. On the AAU circuit he shot 36% from 3. Either way, he can shoot. If they space the floor and give him room to drive, God help whoever is standing under the rim. On the defensive end, he has the length and athleticism to be a lock down defender. He also has the ability to be a great rebounder. There were a handful of instances last year where his standing vertical was enough to snag rebounds over post players. If he clicks with this coaching staff and they are able to maximize his potential...watch out.

That’s A OK with me!

The best part of this development...pUKe fans REALLY wanted him.

Yeah, his dad comes off like a lightweight Mark Carlino. If Brooks ends up at IU, I don't want to see any complaints from those supporting the move when his dad starts popping off about Brooks not being the focal point of the team.

If Calipari and Coach K ran programs in states that produce the level of talent Indiana produces on a regular basis, they would probably think twice about alienating coaches within the state.

That's my impression as well, and it doesn't really make sense to swap Hunter for Brooks if the previous poster was right about Woodson not wanting to play 4 on 5 on the offensive end.

IIRC, burning bridges in Indiana played a bit of a role in Crean's departure didn't it?

Thought this would be interesting. The first stat line is Trey Galloway's freshman season. The second is the stat line from another 6'4 wing with whom you're all familiar. Can you guess who it is? MPG: 19.6; FG% 41.7; 3P% 18.2; FT% 73.7; REB 1.9; AST 1.6; BLK 0.0; STL 0.4; TO 1.0; PTS 3.6 MPG: 17.1; FG% 45.0; 3P% 24.3; FT% 68.3; REB 2.1; AST 1.5; BLK 0.1; STL 1.0; TO 1.4; PTS 3.3

Keion Brooks isn't going to be a college junior because he wants a degree; he's going to be a college junior because he isn't good enough to make an NBA roster.

Has Woodson not realized that Brooks can’t shoot worth a damn either?

I’d take Galloway over Brooks all day, without question. He has the highest basketball IQ on the team. If he’s “pushed out” for a guy that’s been pedestrian at best, I’m gonna be f****** p*****.

I’m admittedly biased in that I have no interest in Brooks after he snubbed us for one of our most hated rivals. That said, why would we be interested in a guy that shot 26% from 3 and 48% from the field? I thought the idea was to get away from players that can’t shoot.

I definitely wouldn't mind opening up an IMG pipeline...

I feel the same about highlight videos but there were 3 things that immediately stuck out to me as well. 1. I don't think his percentages were a fluke. He has pretty good form on his jump shot. 2. He appears comfortable both going to the basket and finishing with either hand. 3. He looks to distribute and doesn't appear to hunt for his shot.

I'm not too worried about Galloway. He may not light up the stat sheet but his basketball IQ is too high to keep him off the court. I'd think Woodson understands the value of a guy that understands his role and puts his teammates in the best position to succeed.
