With an open spot again, anyone in the know where we stand with Langston Wilson and/or EJ Onu?

[HoosierFan1994 4,796]

Not too surprising...clearly they are going after someone else. On another note, that '18 class is probably the most disappointing since "The Movement".

EJ Onu is still exploring professional options but could be a possibility with an opening now. Wilson committed to Washington already.

Onu and Durr are the only two I've heard us mentioned with but I've been busy with actual work lately so not sure I'm up to date.

Those are the only 2. I think it´s clear that Woody wants an athletic 7 footer.

One more transfer coming in has been likely all along. This was clear with the way IU has still been talking to 7 footers.

Well, we can’t say this is surprising. He was the name most identified as the most likely to transfer. Best of luck to the kid. He’s been here a long time and endured a lot. I still think he’s got some good college basketball in him. 
 

It appears the staff wants another 5 to fill in, right? Makes the Brunk transfer interesting, as others have noted. He was a freebie on the roster. 
 

Do your thing, Coach Woodson! I’m ready for a Top 15 team. 

Well said. I imagine Brunk simply isn’t a stylistic fit on the court. Not a good rebounder for his height, no threat outside the paint, slow enough to be a defensive liability...everyone likes him, it seems, but you’ve got to win games.

Not to mention the potential impact of his injury, surgery, recovery.

[lillurk 3,880]

Looking at true 5s and not really combo forwards tells me they believe Race will get lots of time at the 4.

I guess it’s also possible they want a situational 7’ guy for some matchups.

The sun just got a very tiny bit brighter for Leal and Galloway.

[madmax 442]

Didn’t someone literally just post a couple days ago Hunter talking about how much he loved Woodson on social media. I’m guessing this wasn’t mutual.

Until Galloway learns how to shoot and not to jump pass, ehh.

I wish Jerome well. Unfortunately Chronic Hoosier put it best - Jerome seemed to lead the team in "dgaf". I hope he lands somewhere and finds success

One assistant has been working with Trey on his shot.

Agreed.  But I see him as a high basketball IQ.  He would have to really focus on improvements to get a glimmer of playing time next season.  I am sure he will but I see him only getting 1-3 minutes per game.

I believe hes “fixable” imo

Jerome Hunter.

So now can we expect Brooks to transfer in by the weekend???

The sun was always shining for Leal and Galloway.

There will only be ten (or so) rotation players. If there are dedicated culture enhancers that have schollys that is excellent. If those kids become rotation players that is even better.

Leal and Galloway will help us win whether they see real game minutes or not. Apparently Jerome Hunter was not assessed similarly.

Bad high school basketball habit.  I remember Yogi's freshman year and the number of times he tried that jump pass cutting across the baseline.  He broke the habit and I believe Galloway can also.

As to Jerome, it's pretty obvious to me that CMW made this decision for Jerome in the manner it was announced.  No tweet from Jerome announcing his decision to enter the portal and thanking IU, etc., etc., etc.  Just CMW stating he's outta here.
