Also interested that we haven't heard that Damezi is transferring.  If we wants to stay a Hoosier, I'm all good with that.  He was very good offensively in high school....I know it didn't show his freshman year and there are defensive issues, but sometimes it does take a while for a player to get in sync with the college game.

Love the attitude. He will contribute for us eventually. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

I know he struggled badly last season, but I'm happy that he hasn't followed the path of least resistance and thrown his name in the transfer portal.  May end up being a real eye opening learning experience for Clifton and Jake.

I f*ckin' love this. Things didn't go quite as expected, work harder. College ball a little tougher than expected, work harder. Shot wasn't falling like you thought it would, work harder. I obviously don't speak on the behalf of all Indiana fans or anything, but man, if you just give maximum effort we'll support you till the end no matter the outcome.

A single like doesn’t really do it. Great post. Bravo.

Yeah, to some on here, it doesn't matter. SMH! They ALWAYS find the negative in something.

I love seeing this, too. ... I know it shouldn't matter where a player is from, but I want Indiana kids to succeed at IU. ... In addition to hitting the weights, I hope he's in the gym, shooting 500 jumpers a day. I think he had a game or two early on where he was hitting, but after that, he couldn't throw the ball in the ocean ... I've seen high school highlights, and he seems as if he had a pretty nice stroke from distance; don't know where he lost his way as far as shooting ... With our lack of shooters, there's gotta be a chance for him to get more PT next year (especially if he improves on D as well).

For most of those miserable dudes, I honestly think it's all an act... some weird version of trolling. If you acted like that out in the real world, who would continue to interact with you? I would love to see how long they would last around here if everyone just blocked them like I have and never responded to any of their posts or replies. Can we actually just try that, lol? For like a week?

I haven't seen them around as much since there seems to be slightly improved odds of success on the recruiting trail.

I’m really surprised that there isn’t much mention of Sean East. I watched him play several times in HS with Romeo and each time came away more impressed.  He had great court vision, handle the ball really well and has a good left stroke from 3.  He might be a slighter frame, but a kid who has to work his tail off and feels under valued, plays with a chip on their shoulder.   That’s the kind of kid I want on my team.  Much like a Tom Coverdale was as IU, the kid most overlooked, but had that never quit attitude. Some things aren’t measured by size and speed, it’s attitude and heart.  Think he’d be a great asset and one we’ll regret not taking a risk on.  Anyone else surprised there’s no mention??

Great pub on the kids season at Combine, love the work ethic

That’s the connection you think?

After all it’s the off season and it gets quieter on all boards.
Brunk doesn’t make college basketball world excited. Hoosier fans are happy but it’s not an intimidating move.
Anthony Harris, a very solid piece, was going to Virginia Tech and no one cared.
Trendon Watford would turn heads.

Those fans are looking for Romeo’s and Watfords. “Winning” in recruiting. Winning on the court is all that matters. They aren’t looking for silver linings.

I’m just watching it all play out. Not going to get too high or low on recruiting. Unless we start signing Grant Gelons, which many posters on here supported as they support all things IU.

Regardless, both of those guys fill needs and landing one of them with a good chance at the second doesn't fit their general 'burn it down' narrative.

I don’t think many want to burn it down. Just frustrated with not getting results. That translates to recruiting.

The attitude of the board will match the success on the court.

There are a lot of minutes for him next year if he wants it. Love that he isn't transferring.
