I get the fans frustration, and even agree on some of his points, but sending these letters to the players is too far.

This is cringe. Ditto for the stuff on social media sent to players.

It’s ridiculous

IU "fan" Tim Weaver said this about Trayce Jackson Davis in his letter exactly 18 days ago (with underlining in the spots Tim Weaver added it):

"You, on the other hand are a horrible leader. Players get in trouble all the time, which means they don't respect you - or Woody (who also sucks as a leader)...You're all gutless quitters who keep getting humiliated..."

Tm Weaver is hereby nominated for the 'This Didn't Age Well' Hall of Fame.

Sadly we had a few posts that said "Tim Weaver was right." Tim Weaver was very, very wrong. Trayce Jackson Davis was and is the same kid (and Woody was and is the same coach) as before the three game win streak. That doesn't mean they are flawless; it means that they are invested in improvement and dealing with adversity.

Sadly, the type of person who thinks their opinion is important enough to send a letter like that to TJD is probably delusional enough to also think that letter was the kick in the rear TJD needed to step up. So in his mind, he probably think this turn around is because of him.

Could be an inkling of something to that. Not at stand alone value but some additional motivation. People talk **** and it makes you want to perform better to give em' the Ole finger.

Don't care what the reason is just glad they are playing better and tjd has definitely stepped it up but actually they all have. Tim weaver wasn't the reason though because didn't that come out before Penn st? Any which way something has drastically changed and I am glad. You can literally see the difference in energy and focus. Confidence! I am scared to even ask what's caused this just hope it continues so tjds final year is special

Letting Purdue fans know that TJD is on Edeys heels for B1G POY really gets their feathers ruffled. TJDs B1G numbers have been better than Edeys, just need to win... And at this point, can really only drop maybe 2 more games to win B1G POY.

Well, the letter was shared the day before the Iowa game. So if he wants to take credit for the team being .500 since he wrote it, more power to him.

In about 4 games TJD will be the first Hoosier with 2000 points and 1000 rebounds and only the second big ten player.  People like that Weaver guy just don’t want to see how special TJD is 

EDIT

Assuming we play 14 more games. And TJD averages a modest 18 and 8

He gets 2150 and 1071. If he comes back and plays a whole schedule he will own both records comfortably

I would like him to come back, but I don't like historical records being broken after 4 full seasons.

What’s amazing about this is Duncan was thought of as a much more complete player than TJD.

He's pretty close to what Duncan was doing that season as well. Indiana just has to keep winning and he's going to be right there for POY(which really pisses off Purdue fans lol)

Per release, Indiana senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis has been added to the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Watch List.

He averages 3.2 bpg and is Indiana's all-time leader in blocks. He joins Tim Duncan (Wake Forest) as the only players over the last 30 seasons in DI to average 19.0 pts, 9.0 rbs and 3.0 blks per game.

Well-deserved. He’s putting up better numbers than Edey and he isn’t 7’6.
