Whose minutes is he taking? I just don’t see him getting a ton of run due to lack of need. He isn’t taking Smith or Morgan minutes. Let’s say that is 55 minutes out of the 80 possible. Then we have a grad transfer that can knock down 3s and can guard the 4 and 5. I love Thompson but if he is pulling more than 10 it’s due to injury or we play a lot bigger than I anticipate. Smith isn’t a 3. That’s still a very important player. But I don’t see him getting starter minutes. Smith and Morgan will be 2 of our 3 best players. Smith showed that by the end of the year.

As good as Smith is and will be, I believe Race is a better player.

What have you seen of Race to get you so excited?

Impressed with him during his time with Minnesota d-1 but I remember him at Pangos Camp and he reminded me of Juwan Morgan. Super skilled and has really good size. Love Smith. Think he’s a huge piece but he doesn’t have the skill Race has. Smith is a much better athlete and has huge upside. I just like guys who can dribble, pass, and shoot. They contribute much faster. I’m not sure how they compare defensively. I know Race is noticeably bigger than Smith.

Smith and Morgan will get most minutes up front. Race could see time through depending how he developed last year.

Bold. I like it. I don’t agree with it. But if it happened we would be better for it.

Wasn't sure where else to post this but should be an exciting day as all of the freshman will be on campus. Hopefully the social media team is active and others can provide any information as the entire team is together for the first time of our 2018 season!

Yep Freshman orientation day. My daughter is down there today signing up for classes. She said the whole campus is buzzing for Romeo getting there.

This is a first but I think we might disagree. I expect JS to be the best player on the floor at times this season. But I can see why you think that way about Race. Should be an exciting future for sure.

Maybe if she has the time she should visit Ashton today to see if anyone interesting is moving in today. Of course, this info didn't come from me.

If Smith’s skill development is further along than I expect than we are in for a really special year... can’t wait to watch. This is the most excited I’ve been for an IU season since the 2013 season.

Isn't Ashton the one with all the individual rooms? So no roommate for Romeo?

Ashton is single rooms but anyone on campus who wants to live in a dorm and is taking classes lives in Ashton for the summer. But if it is like years past, they will move to Briscoe in August for the fall semester. Last year and this year I believe the basketball players will have singles in Briscoe.

Do we need to go ahead and create a Social Media thread?

Please do @InArchWeTrust! I was trying to figure out how to post these

[HoosierDYT]

Look at our length! If Hunter and Damezi both managed to develop into shooting guards that would be a scary sight

There's a Summer of 2018 thread that might work.
