I thought TJD was a leader this off season... It was clear he was instrumental behind the scenes in bringing almost everyone back. I think X and TJD night be the perfect combo of leaders.

So 2022-2023 season?!?? ;)

I do not recognize that player. Is he from Louisiana?

I would love to have a former player fill that role - maybe an A.J. or a recent player... like Hulls, Watford, Johnson, or Hartman. Robert Johnson would allow the staff to bridge the IU generations almost completely with the former players on the staff: Early Knight years: Woodson Late Knight & Davis years: Fife Crean & Miller years: Johnson

I thought the discussion of Brunk leaving centered around not being able to attend law-school AND play on the team at IU. Maybe OSU allows players to do both.

I'm expecting this to be the case! I put improvement into two categories: observed and unobserved. observed: improved statistics, may or may not be because of particular skill improvement. unobserved: skillset has improved, but it may not play out in their stats in 2021-2022 (due to things like greater competition). Observed: Lander: will learn why he was a 5-star before reclassifying. Strength/shooting will improve Rob: skillset was there to be an elite player; shooting %'s to improve. Hunter: competition/time from injury will bring out his best. Improved handling/passing Race: improved outside shot will add some extra points per game. Unobserved: Geronimo: improved #'s, but full fruit of skill improvement to be observed in 2022-2023 season. TJD: skills improve (shot & right hand) to improve draft stock considerably; but will "only" have slight improvement on ~ 20 / 10. Galloway: skills to improve (e.g., 3 point shot); long-term investment. Leal: Game will develop, team benefits will immerge in junior and especially senior year

I think player development will determine who stays versus transfer. If players feel like they are improving, I think they stay.

Were the exact words on the Pac 12: "The Pac 12 stinks - Go Big 10!" - :)

Thanks, I definitely wish him well! He helped carry us through the transition time and it turned out well for us. He is definitely a hero in my book.

Is this really happening? I really hope not...

+ 1 We only have one slot left and we seem to still be recruiting. We can't even talk to KB right now. I think the TJD tweets are more just a general "coach is still recruiting" than "I know KB is coming". I would have been excited if it had happened, but does not look good.

The real question is if he could sneak in a bonus curly fry or two...

It is Bloomington now :)!

Finish season ranked...

I like this quote: "...That was the only promise that was made to me is that I would become a better man." https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/tamar-bates-mike-woodson-promised-to-make-me-a-better-man/
