If a player has an honest conversation with coach and then decided to transfer to Norte Dame or Cincinnati so he can immediately play 20 minutes/game instead of waiting two years to maybe do that, why shouldn’t we be happy for him?

I mean I know what y’all are saying, this is rhetorical, please don’t explain it to me like I literally don’t know

Oh how things have changed.  Good problems to have I guess

Not totally sure but was told that Woody doesn’t want to play 4 on 5 on the offensive end. Which I countered with Race can’t shoot either.

Has Woodson not realized that Brooks can’t shoot worth a damn either?

He can’t even find minutes on a dogshit team. This is I no way an upgrade to anyone we have

I mean, he played 24 mpg and averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds a game last year. While dealing with injuries. He hasn’t lived up to his top 25 ranking, but he’s a better player than Galloway is. (If that’s who we’d be choosing between).

Albeit on a 9-16 team as a sophomore. Trey was a freshmen on a better team.

Is there anyone on the roster willing to pay their own way and give up a scholarship?

Late to the party and he's not on ship, but may I suggest Kion if he JUST NOW wants to come?

Leal’s parents work at IU so he would qualify for half off tuition. He probably could get an academic scholarship too.

I thought athletes weren’t allowed to accept academic scholarships

You are probably correct. I’m the last person who would know anything about academic scholarships.

Haha. He’s my personal favorite even though at almost 45 years old I can shoot better than him, but I think his shot is fixable but I’m not sure others who are more important than me agree on that.

His shot is fixable.  Truth is if he we had any kind of outside shooting last year you wouldn't have seen him shooting.....put into a position he wasn't ready for.

They were 6-10 in the 16 games that he played, for whatever that’s worth. He had a 23/11 game against Tennessee. He shot 80% from the line last year. He’s athletic. Look at the poster he puts this Vanderbilt player on at 1:20. I don’t know how much he would play next season here, but it would be more than Galloway would play. Keion’s only a grade ahead too, so theoretically he’d still have 3 more years of eligibility.

I would like to keep Galloway and Leal for their Jr and Sr years. But both are at the end of the bench now. Had Galloway been able to improve his shot he would be in a better position right now. 

[RaceToTheTop 30,316]

I guess I don't know why people are discussing Galloway as a possible player exiting....I didn't see anything from Chris indicated him as being the player(s) potentially on the move.  I thought he was pretty transparent with the like of the post about the player that Fife had been playing up.

No Galloway was the name mentioned to me. I told the person I hoped they were wrong. They said they were told Galloway lack of 3pt shooting isn’t something Woody likes. 

[8bucks 7,466]

Not saying Brooks will be going anywhere but it seems UK fans don’t want him to leave.   Perhaps some others do. It but every time someone posts a Twitter rumor about him leaving the comments seem to wish he would stay. That seems to say something about him.

I like Galloway and what he brings to the team. His shot may or may not improve but he brings a lot of other things to the table and most importantly, he has been IU through and through.

whether Brooks is better or not, not convinced but can see the argument. Regardless, I don’t see either being a starter next year so why push out the loyal kid for one that could have been a Hoosier coming out of high school, could have come after his freshmen year, could have come when IU was trying to fill our roster over the last month but waited and waited and waited until our roster was set and remained to this day with our slimy rival. 
 

I like the 13 that bleed IU. I don’t want him. I’ve said my peace. Here is to hoping we see the 13 we currently have when the ball tips for our first exhibition game

I could see TJD, Brooks and u pick three guards as a lineup.

Okay...I pick Stewart, X, and Phin. And Kopp. And Geronimo. Them too.

Oh hell. Woody should decide.
