And you are forgetting, we have those guys so WHY would HE come here? He can literally go anywhere. Not sure how you don't understand the value of a 6'9" 240# that can shoot 37.5% from 3 and can put it on the floor. Not 1 IU player can do that. He starts 7 days a week over everyone but TJD. Being able to go: TJD, TM, JH ,XJ, PS or TJD, TM, XJ, PS, LEAL/KL/TG. Those are lineups hard to guard. Justin Kotter, go iu bb, WayneFleekHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote

And with our depth the only player we could take is a project. Wait until next year and get someone proven when we have way more minutes to offer. I can see the argument to take a G/W or one of each and get an instant-impact FR or grad TR big next year. My hunch is Woody will be happy to have skilled offensive bigs, BUT could build a good team with a Tyson Chandleresque d, screens, dunks, and boards guy in the middle. But I think it’s a “bird in the hand” thing. If there’s a player who helps you after next year, go get him. Duncomb, Geronimo, that guy aren’t necessarily taking you out of the market for someone else next year (though I like those two lots). That still leaves you one spot for an off ball perimeter player Quote
lillurk Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Woody and co. deserve lots of credit for this offseason. I also think it shows IU can be players on the TR market and may benefit if an ongoing one-time free transfer rule is approved. (There’s probably a similar argument that IU would benefit from an NIL rule.) Quote

I agree but speculating on guys that haven't been connected at all is kind of pointless. With Brooks there is something going on I just don't know what so I'm not getting excited because he already played IU once. Even the UK people are starting to think he's leaving. Quote

Hoosierfan1901 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 A little off topic, but that it could be related to Owensboro QB Gavin Wimsatt, who Kentucky is heavily pushing for, but looks like Wimsatt is headed to Rutgers lillurk 1 Quote
ap2345 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 I know he said he's going pro but I would contact Nate Reuvers if I was on the IU staff and he if Woodson could give him the development for professional basketball talk. lillurk 1 Quote

IUc2016 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 I must be in the minority and that is fine. But I do not want anymore slow, plodding post players. Is it good that some of them can shoot? of course. But when it comes down to the way the game is played today, no thank you. Get more athletic, dynamic in the middle (like TJD types) and surround them with shooters who can defend MULTIPLE positions. lillurk 1 Quote
