That's assuming TJD comes back. Even with that, there are going to be times when we're going to want to have a bigger lineup. And Race is our best post defensive player by far. He offers the ability to switch that Woodson likes. It would be a big loss.  

My response was to someone who was assuming TJD was staying. Brunk and Duncomb as our only bigs would be rough.

Do you know why he never played that last month? Not playing your second best player, especially with how lackluster our guard play was, would be coaching malpractice. 

Unless you were acting in the best interest of the kid and not burning a year of eligibility for him to play for a very mediocre team.

No worries. My last nickname in corporate world was Notso bright.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....

Has Brunk officially acknowledged he's returning?

I’ve only seen rumors, nothing official.

Starting point guard for UCLA 5'10, starting point guard for Big Ten Champion Michigan 5'10. If you can play, you can play. You complain about Lander's shooting, we start to recruit a shooting PG and you complain. Pick one and stick with it

Yeah, but the michigan dude freaks me out.  He looks like a midget out there.

I  don't think he is going to say until he knows for sure if he can go or not.

I don't know, maybe wasn't over the passing of his father yet. It was Stewart's decision. 

I heard it hinted that he wanted to play but he got COVID and Archie decided to hold him out. I never heard if that was anything more than speculation though.

He's 6'3" if you count his hair though.

IDK.  I like "our" guys -- Franklin, Lander and Race. But at this point if they can't figure out the IU is the best place for them, they it's time to cut them loose.  Start bringing in the new talent.  

The waiting is the hardest part.  Rip TP.

This past season was a free year. It wouldn’t have affected Stewart’s eligibility. He’d have two years left whether he played this past year or not. 

[HoosierHoopster 6,023]

seems like Lander, Race and AF are either waiting on confirmation of the assistant coaches or have decided they're leaving. I tend to think at least Lander is waiting on the assistants, hopefully we hear within the next few days.

 Edit : didn’t see it had its own category. Put it here because it could be very relevant to other players decisions in transfer

I don't expect to hear from Armaan for a few days considering he is meeting with Illinois Saturday

[8bucks 6,118]

I bet kids were waiting to see what he did. Could be a lot of decisions now

Big for recruiting transfers too. Guys will definitely want to play with TJD.

yep, without TJD, most players probably recognized the likelihood of a very low ceiling on the potential for next ceiling
