If CAM is concerned about being in an oversigned position, and I'm still not convinced he is, there is 1 possibility for relief.  From Moore's quotes, it sounds like redshirting is a no-no in his mind.  So, all CAM has to do is push the fact we want him at IU but he needs a redshirt year.  If it is a big deal to Moore then 1 less oversigned issue.  If he still wants to come to IU, we're in no worse position than we are right now and we just have to wait for the dominoes.

I'm pretty sure even if a player redshirted, they still count against the scholarship numbers. So having Moore come in and automatically redshirt would not "solve" anything.

I think he is saying Moore doesn't want to redshirt... so if CAM pushed the redshirt then Moore decides on his own to not attend IU. Makes it look like CAM really wanted him and didn't push him out nor have to get rid of somebody else already on scholarship.

The oversigning problem stinks, but it's a lot better than the mass exodus I was expecting if Crean had stayed. Losing both TB and JBJ would stink for next year, but it would be better for us in the long run imo.

Thank you very much.  You did a far better job of explaining what my intended point was.  And Kepner you are correct, a redshirt is still a scholly.

Moore seems like a perfect redshirt scenario.  I really liked how Ryan used redshirts at Wisky, and the fact that this is even on the table makes me happy. By all indications Cujo would have been a redshirt under a coach like Ryan and by his second season more than likely a real factor. Same with Hartman in my opinion. I understand many players would not want to go this route, but look a player like Happ. He was not ready immediately and now is arguably one of the best big men in the country next season. Certainly one of the best in the big ten.

I think Moore is a lot more ready to contribute than most think. Bossi mentioned he wouldn't be surprised by a jump in the top 80 for the final rankings. TB is probably gonna leave IMO, so we will need Moore. Even if TB comes back and a injury happens we will be thin on depth.

I agree really starting to think only johnson of the three come back. Be nice to get a grad transfer also.

If JBJ and TB leave, along with OG -- and Moore, Smith and Durham come in, that puts us at the limit. There wouldn't be room for a grad transfer.

For the sake of assuming...

Let's say TB, OG, and JB leave. Clifton then joins. (TB should come back but I'm not feeling it if he gets half decent NBA feedback)

Newkirk-----Green (I'd like to see Green get more minutes)
Rojo-------CuJo , Durham, Gelon
Hartman ------Smith
Juwan-----McSwain
DD------Clifton, Priller

We will struggle vs athletic teams and teams with size. We don't have much proven shooting or much athleticism. We do have solid performers and a formidable starting 5 with VERY limited depth. Archie is going to have to coach his @$$ off if this is our projected lineup.

Green should start. And we will need Smith or Moore able to contribute if we want to have a decent rotation. 

Looking rough.

This is why IU has a new coach. To actually help the players and put them in winnable positions. If OG, Blackmon and Bryant all leave, I have complete faith in Archie to succeed next season. With that said, I say Blackmon is the only one with a chance to leave between him and Bryant

The Bryant decision is so huge for next season. While he should certainly do what is best for him, IU could really use him back for another season. 

With what appears to be a weaker draft and salary caps going up you would think coming back would be the smart move.
