Man, his former high school coach sure threw up a big smoke screen a few weeks ago didn’t he? It was so widely assumed until that “he’s 100% focused on being a Hoosier next year” quote. Wish DA the best. Think this was a good decision for him.

Very mature answers. Wish nothing but the best for him. Think he’d do well at a MAC school

I think he’s either MAC or Horizon bound. Had heard his father was talking with Wright State, Toledo, and Miami OH prior to the season last year.

I would love to see him flourish wherever he goes.

IU should really work to get a multi-year big on the last available scholarship, whether a late-rising 2020 HSer we haven’t heard they’re after or a transfer.

I think Duncomb is a nice long-term piece and I like either/both Race and a particular ‘21 PF to play some minutes as a small-ball 5, but as of now the 2020-21 and 21-22 rosters seem to have one clear gap at the 5.

I think we have a couple people to play the 5 this year.  Trayce and Brunk. 21-22 wouldn’t mind getting a grad transfer to give Logan a year to adjust

Yes, got my years mixed up. Brass is right. Brunk graduates and assuming Trayce is at least a serious possibility to leave, you need someone you know can give you good minutes at the five thereafter.
 

20+ minutes, IMO, even if you play small some and trust Duncomb some in year one.

Yes, but if you could find a two year guy this year I would still like IU to take him. I might be in the minority, and not sure how realistic that is, but if we're wishing. 

I agree TJD is more than capable at the 5, but he played a lot of 4 last year and if the scholarship is just sitting there.....

Either way you are right about the following season, definitely need some depth there. Depending on a true Freshman center in the B1G (with only undersized forwards backing him up) sounds like a recipe for unmet expectations, no matter how talented the rest of the roster.

If We can get a two year guy by all means go for it. 
 

Wonder if they instead use the spot to go after a 5 star big in 2021

Very curious what we do here

Yes, I guess that’s the “shoot the moon” option. 

[RaceToTheTop]

IF Lander isn't able to reclassify, could use someone to spell RP.  If not, getting a limited minute grad spot up shooter wouldn't be the worst thing to have around.

Bummed for DA. He seems like a good dude. It’s likely a wise decision though for all the obvious reasons.

Man best of luck to DA. Hate that it didn't work out.

Sucks being #13. Can’t blame him. I’d want to play too.

Damezi announced his transfer to Loyola Chicago.  Wish him the very best.

[Honkyman]

This is a good move for Damezi. Loyola is an excellent school with a storied basketball tradition. They won the NCAA championship in 1963 and reached the Final Four in 2018.  Damezi will be closer to home (Chicago is 90 miles from South Bend) so his family can readily watch him play. It is a nice campus located on the shores of Lake Michigan. I hope he is able to find his jump shot. As a South Bend native and IU graduate, I'm rooting for him.

[Bowhunter]

Good move for DA and IU. I’m sure he feels bad about underperforming, but he handled him self very professionally. I will be rooting for him!
