I’d almost look at it this way, would you have have Morgan, Langford, Fitzner and McRoberts with a freshmen Phinisee, or TJD, Brooks, Franklin and a healthy Hunter with a sophomore Phiniseee?

 

That's kind of how I look at it, also.  Morgan will be a huge loss.  I don't personally believe Romeo will be as huge a loss as he would be a huge gain if he happened to return.   Franklin has a similar skill set; even as I don't think he'll put up the same numbers; and add Hunter and an improved, stronger, more experienced Phinisee/Durham; Romeo won't be missed nearly as much as Morgan's post offense and rebounding will.  Davis + Brooks is far better than the rest of the seniors, so I'm with you on this thought process.

If Deron is here and healthy, Race plays a full season, and TJD comes in ready to contribute, I think we’ll miss Morgan, but be fine. Phin playing a whole season as a sophomore will cover any guard losses, in my opinion. Brooks will be icing. I suspect next years team will be similar, but have a 20+ win season if healthy instead of what we saw this year.

Jeremy Price Retweeted Bruce Pascoe

Trayce Jackson-Davis with seven points, five rebounds and a block in a team-low 14 minutes at the All-American game in Atlanta.

Beyond being an honor for the players selected, the McD game is always awful, even by all-star game standards. Unless the player you want to see is a starter, you're lucky to even know if they're playing.  The broadcast seems to pick out one or two players and dedicate 80-90% of their time talking (pimping) them.

That stat line for TJD is pretty solid for being practically forgotten by the coaches (as it seems our guys usually are).

I didn't watch the game, so if I'm wrong please correct me.

Funny how I frequent events from Georgia to LA and see and talk with Dale and he is always there watching. Not to mention I know the situation first hand!!!

I’ve literally seen Tracy’s refer to him as Dale. And his step dad as dad. Hard to believe they are THAT close

Good read..I am careful in making expectations for freshman. I say he as an 11pt 6rb average as a freshman and only gets better. If he develops a 3 point shot he will be gone in two years. 

I’d be ecstatic with 11/6 with great defense. I’m thinking Green and Hunter will be our leading scorers, as the roster sits right now.

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m stoked about TJD coming to IU, I just hope his calm demeanor isn’t Romeo-esque too much. There were times I wondered if that dude was a droid. Some real dunking power around the rim is sorely needed so I can’t wait to see how his presence translates to the B1G. Stoic demeanor and vicious dunks will be ok with me.
