However the TJD news could and should have a huge impact 

Yeah, I think things might have shifted with this. Let's see if he really has that zoom with ILL tomorrow or not

Said it on another thread, but I would be stunned if Armaan isn't back. I think many of us thought TJD was going to enter the draft process and it would be a wait and see process. It went from maybe 25% he would be back to 100% in a day.

Get armaan and lander to stay. Get another guard and stretch 4 in the portal. Then im content.

Xavier Johnson has started following and interacting with a handful of IU players on social media.. 

[Jungle George]

If Armando does transfer, I very much hope he doesn’t go to Illinois. All my friends are Illinois fans and it will be a difficult pill to swallow.

Well Franklin should get a nice warm welcome when he comes back to the hall after transferring to a direct conference rival. I know what the student section would’ve done when I was there.

If Armaan likes Orlando’s sales pitch than good for him. IU will find someone else that wants to be at IU.

Disappointed in armaan if he leaves, though he loves IU

He "liked" TJD's (re)commitment post too 

[Hoosierfan2017]

Franklin coming back would be great, but we can replace him in the portal. TJD was the one guy on our team we wouldn't be able to replace. If Armaan doesn't want to be a part of our program then see ya, we'll find someone who does.

4 out 1 in never says it has to be all big guys. You just have to be able to defend multiple positions. UCLA & Michigan both had starting PG's who was 5'10. This kid led the ACC in 3 point shooting as a freshman. He is an elite shooter

Exactly. the 4 out 1 in requires shooters on offense, not necessarily size. The reason Woody mentioned size was strictly for defensive purposes. He really pioneered the way that current NBA teams guard the pick and roll. He wants to be able to switch everything. That is much more effective when you have guys that can be taught to guard multiple positions. Just running these 2 systems alone should be attractive to recruits who want to get to the next level, as it is what todays NBA looks like. The same reason 5* pro style QB's like to play for programs who run a pro style offense. It gets them ready faster.

The IU basketball account follows him as well.

Don't be. He's doing what he feels is best. Completely understandable if he wants a fresh start elsewhere. He committed to play for Coach Miller.  I really don't want to see him go but I'm confident that there is going to be some extremely talented guys coming to IU. Hell I've already seen that Syracuse fans are really concerned about losing Zion Cruz to Indiana due to Woody's connections in the area.  Ive not even heard about us being in on him, yet other fans are worried about losing guys to us. Thats a great sign for us.

Trayce just dropped Xavier's name on JMV live. Pour some fuel on that fire.

Edit: Also mentioned Wendell Green who is a talented freshman out of Eastern Kentucky.

TJD just said he is recruiting current teammates, Xavier Johnson, and Wendell Green while on JMV.

What did Trayce say about him?

[Hoosierfan222]

I think we have a very good shot at Xavier Johnson

[Hoosierfan1901]

Who is Xavier Johnson? I don’t know much about him

No detail really. JMV asked if Trayce was doing some portal recruiting of his own. He said yes and that he'll keep some names under wraps but he's actively talking to Xavier and Wendell.
