Do Ivy Schools even accept grad transfers?

Same! I’d love to see IU play out here.

TDJ, Race, and Duncomb feels like enough to play the 5, but it’s still a tough loss.

Seriously. If someone wants out of an NLI it’s not going to be an issue.

Archie, what the hell did you teach these guys!?

I think Cockburn is still undecided, but it’s hard to tell how good Illinois will be next year.

Apparently Armaan was 99% gone if Archie came back

I would bet a lot of money that IU plays UVA in the B1G ACC challenge.

Someone fill me in on Cohen. I don’t know anything about him.

Just to add to this: Everyone gets an extra year of eligibility. If seniors return for an extra year at their current school they don’t count in the scholarship numbers. However, a senior who transfers (Al at Providence) will count towards the scholarship numbers.

Plus Armaan showed that he can succeed in a similar style. He does well in the packline and managed to put up decent numbers in an offense that was atrocious. No reason to think he wouldn’t be successful at Virginia.

Losing Franklin would definitely sting but I don’t think it’s an insurmountable loss. The only one on this team who would really belong in this category is TJD.

That’s honestly what I was thinking too.

Jeff Goodman is similar to Woj to me. IU keeps their department very closed off to media access so the national media guys get pissy and have a vendetta against IU. Woj doesn’t have access to lebron so his articles are always Lebron hit pieces. It’s so transparent and honestly trash journalism. Just ignore him and he’ll go away.

Even if we lost Armaan and Race, getting Brooks and Johnson would be huge.

I’m pretty sure if everyone comes back we’d have 2 open scholarships due to Brunk not counting.

I’m really struggling with who to root for. Baylor’s athletics department is really scummy and Scott Drew seems like the king of scummy. I’m not sure how much I care about the undefeated stuff. Gonzaga is fun to watch.

If Armaan transfers I think Locke would be an excellent replacement. He’s a little small for a combo guard but his stroke looks fantastic.

I’m not upset we didn’t get Swider. He’s a good shooter but his defense was horrible at Villanova.

I would lean towards that as well. However, the 16 seeds like having the game because if they win they get a full share of NCAA tournament money, and exposure as being the only game on at that time. It ends up benefitting those programs even if it’s maybe unfair.

The counter argument would be “why make the auto bid teams play an extra game?” Not saying either one is right or wrong.

They divide it into the last 4 at large bids and the last 4 auto bids. It’s pretty unlikely for the last at large bids to be lower than a 12 seed just because of their regular season resumes.

Swap Kentucky with Indiana and you described Lander. Stats don’t always tell the whole story.

Perfect fit for him.
