(2020) SF Jordan Geronimo to Maryland

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Another nice story on Geronimo including:   He holds nearly a 4.0 grade point average at St. Paul’s, one of the most academically rigorous boarding schools in New England.

Oh boy ... seems like we are getting a great kid on more than a few levels.

I can’t f’ing wait to see this kid in person.

That is a fantastic article, and he will be so easy to root for. 

This is BRILLIANT! 

“I called my mom, I was like ‘Ma, I dropped 32’ … but the first thing she said was ‘Yeah, but you didn’t get rebounds,’ Geronimo said. “She was just flaming me. And I was like ‘Damn, I guess 32 wasn’t enough.’ She’s always there to put me in check. Even if I scored 100, it wouldn’t matter if I missed a box-out. That’s the stuff I love to hear from my mom, because that positive criticism helps me get better.”

TDH: When you think about your freshman season at Indiana, what does success look like to you?

Geronimo: I think a successful first year will be me just doing what I’m told. If I’m a role player, I’ll be the best role player there is. If I’m on the court for defense and rebounds, and I’m going to go out there and try to do as much as I possibly can. Just be the guy that the team needs to win. I just want to help the team get better. A team wins because it is better than a single player.

Yes, please.

That answer is so pitch perfect I would say it was scripted, except he’s said some derivation of it over and over. Just a hell of a kid.

Exactly what AJ Moye said the summer before he arrived. ‘Coach wants rebounds, I’ll get rebounds...‘

I’ve told this story before. But he’d always swing by our tailgates and say “you give me food, I’ll give you highlights!”

We did and he did. One of many awesome IU memories.

Don’t let the NCAA find out that you have food to a player.

Who was that Texans RB stud about 5 years ago?  Remember a story where him and his teammates were hungry and had no money for food. They told the coach they were going to go do something stupid.  So he showed up with a bunch of tacos. Which was an NCAA violation.

Whatever that kids coaches and parents have done is the right stuff. I don’t expect any of the 3 guy currently in the 2020 class to get much run.  And great to see the highest ranked of them is ok with that.

You never know who will end up getting a lot of run. 
Calbert Cheaney was supposed to be the low man from his class, and played the most minutes from the get go.

After starting on our National Championship team, Rick Calloway and Keith Smart we’re beaten out the next year, as seniors, by freshmen Jay Edwards and Lyndon Jones.

It’s unlikely, but you ever know.

Certainly true. Like I said I don’t expect it but it’s possible.  Really hoping we see Hunter, Race and Rob put together what they have shown in flashes.

It’s always possible but he’ll need time to adjust. The attitude isn’t something that you can just have at the snap of your fingers though. If all freshmen came to Bloomington with the “play as hard as I can for the team in whatever minutes I play” attitude we’d be a much better program.

I believe another positive from Geronimo will be how he pushes other players in practice. If he keeps the always compete mentality that will only make Hunter, Durham, Franklin, Galloway, and Leal better for it.

Arian Foster. 
 

The NCAA can, in the words of Aloha, **** off when it comes to the petty stuff (and really in general). I’ve seen too many kids have their eligibility jeopardized by ignorant rulings that never go public.

Rick Calloway transferred out after, I believe, his sophomore year to Kansas. However, as a Senior Lyndon Jones lost his starting spot.

I just checked. Callaway had one more year at Indiana after the championship year, his junior year.

Then he played his senior year only at Kansas.
