I've noticed his wrist has been taped most games this season, do we know what is wrong with it?

Its the same problem that he had his senior year, not sure what it is but he had the same wrist wrapped the same way last year.

So this Thursday we should be as deep as we have been all year. Race is back which only leaves Hunter, and he is red shirting anyway. All hands on deck Hoosiers!

Will Race actually log minutes though? He may not be in shape for a while still.

Is race even in game shape yet?

Speaking of Race, do you know anything about him 7878? Does anybody? Anybody know his HS numbers? I only saw him play 1 game, couple mop up minutes tops. I’ve never entered a conversation about him before because I always assumed he was bench mob material. The redshirt I guess, gave me pause considering it was not injury related. With the amount of people anticipating his return, I thought I’d ask about it. I had previously figured him as an end of the bench type. That not the case?

i watched a few of his games a couple of years ago. Man, he was pretty dominant inside. He used to play on the same team as M. Hurt and they are real close friends. I'm very excited to see him conditioned and on the court. He was redshirted for an injury/surgery not because of his playing ability.
And because he was a re-class. Or at least I believe that was part of the reasoning.

"Because of his unique path, some may have lost sight of Race Thompson, the recruit.  Rated 71st overall in the country, he was a significant win for Miller and the IU coaching staff.  In his final year of high school he averaged 19.6 points and 8.9 rebounds"

he played on the same AAU team "D1" as Matt Hurt. He graduated HS early and redshirted with IU. I may have been wrong about the injuries (redshirt) but maybe i'm not. I remember reading something somewhere when i was following him and M. Hurt. But, he did redshirt.

Idk much about his high school stats but he was originally a top 100 player in the 2018 class on 247. He then reclassified to 2017 and was ranked about 130. He used that reclass year to redshirt and get healthy from some knee problems. It was known from the time he committed he would redshirt.

As for this year he probably was gonna be a spot minute guy until he got injured. I am willing to bet he would have played more than Clifton and Jake though and with De’Ron going out, possibly could have played significant minutes behind juwan. However, with the concussion it’s hard to tell what to expect for the rest of the year since he’s never played and isn’t in game shape.

He is known for his interior defense and ability to play the stretch 4/5. He has the ability to hit threes in pick and pop. He is not overly athletic and is a below the rim player, but knows how to use his body for positioning on defense and rebounding.

So it was an injury. I did not know that. That’s encouraging. Not his injury, but that you seem to think he can play. He a Justin Smith athletic type? As good or better?

He was only 130 because nobody reranked him for 2017 other than 247.
