Thoughts on such a player to transfer to Bloomington?  He would be eligible for two years.  A big man with experience in a major conference.  A great defensive player.  Should Archie at least reach out to see if there's any interest?

Sit a year and then be ready on a roster after TJD and Brunk are gone? Freshman Duncombe may not be ready? I would think that's a perfect fit.

Does he have to sit since they got punished.  Feel like he could get a waiver 

I could get on board either way (sitting or not) but it might be better for IU if he does. Who was the last real rim-protector we had? Jeff Newton?

Would definitely be on board but it doesn’t seem like the program puts too much effort in with transfers. Outside of Brunk who’s from the Indianapolis area, haven’t seen a whole lot in that area. Not gonna get my hopes up :(

Here’s a stat that keeps me up at night:  before his injury his sophomore year, De’ron Davis averaged 1.5 blocks while playing less than 19 minutes per game.  He was going to be really, really good until he got derailed.

I 100% agree. I watched a game when he was a Freshman a couple weeks ago and kept wondering what if as I was watching his play. Similar to Maurice Creek

I actually thought before he got hurt -- when he could run and move and jump freely -- that he showed some pretty nice moves around the bucket, too.

Yes, it’s one of the more sad careers I can remember. Great guy. Old fashioned game. I think even with limited athleticism he could have been really good. Glad he stayed a good guy and a Hoosier through it all.

Hate to turn this into something it’s not, but I always think when people try and compare Holtmann and Archie, how different are the past 3 years if De’Ron is healthy and as good as  or close to Kaleb Wesson? Both were inherited players (Wesson was an inherited recruit), but Wesson clearly has been the main cog for OSU the last 2+ years.

Interesting Q and A from Alex Bozich with Lance Stemler.    Lance:  "...It’s funny how things work out, but I was 95 percent sure I was going to go to Marquette and play for coach (Tom) Crean.'

Seeing some disturbing stuff that Jerome may be in a hospital for unknown reason.

Saw this as well. I hoping with as hush-hush as his previous health issue was, this may be more routine considering he’s putting it out on social media. Sam Story is tweeting something about dental/ENT experiences related to his surgery.
