Yes and he has his own thread dating back to 2016-2017.  He suffered a compound fracture of his leg in a high school game so he really has a history of injuries. 

Sounds like a the kind of flyer you can take with your 13th scholarship

Looks like he was pretty decent year 1 (frosh expectations anyway), but then faded.

If we are just looking for a big to spell TJD at the 5 until Duncomb matures, then he doesn't look like a bad use of a 13th schollie for one year.

Checked UNC rivals, and saw nothing regarding anything with Manley and Iu

Yeah, maybe just some depth.  We have a pretty solid roster for the majority of our minutes, it may be getting more difficult to get one of the guys higher on the wishlist because of playing time concerns.  You know that TJD is penciled in for sure at one of the bigs.

IU wants post depth. Manley provides that and doesn’t necessarily expect to start. He’s also from Ohio so it’s closer to home. He’s just a name to watch over the next few days. IU would have to feel good about his health before they made an offer I’d have to assume.

Certainly adds more doubt to the whole "Brunk was forced out" view.

There’s actually several differences. Starting with athleticism, wingspan, and potential upside if healthy. Oh and player expectations. That said he may end up someplace else and this talk was all for nothing.

Ironically Manley  from Pickerington and graduated from Jerome Hunters rival Pickerington Central a year prior to Hunter.

A paradox for IU is that nobody really wants to hit the transfer portal to play spot/backup minutes, and if you’re looking for a 5, everyone in the portal knows you’re returning an all-American there

What's interesting to me is while IU and Jerome Hunter are parting ways, I don't think Hunter's name is in the transfer portal yet.

Interesting. Given his health issues if he were giving up the sport I wouldn’t be shocked.

His name isn't in the transfer portal right now according to verbalcommits, which has been pretty darn accurate.  I also know when IU handled their press release they simply said Jerome would not be a member of the roster in 2021-22 and wished him well on the future -- no mention of the portal.  I'm wondering if he hasn't entered due to personal issues.  I know Miller had alluded to some non-basketball issues toward the end of the year when Hunter had registered a DNP and that Miller was pretty vague on when he would be on the court again.

Michael Durr has committed to IU

Final Indiana Basketball post-season tally of those who have played for IU and are leaving, vs new players:

OUT: 

1. Armaan Franklin
2. Al Durham
3. Joey Brunk
4. Jerome Hunter

IN:

1. Xavier Johnson
2. Parker Stewart
3. Tamar Bates
4. Michael Durr
5. Miller Kopp
6. Logan Duncomb

When you see it laid out like this, the talent infusion and upgrade is striking.

One could argue that Miller was responsible for Parker and Logan but one could also argue that Miller staying would have led to TJD and Geronimo, at a minimum leaving.  We could have been in a Georgia like (doubt it would have been as bad but could have been similar) situation had Miller still been here.

The portal was definitely friendly to us and helped make the quick infusion happen but it also shows that the right guy can turn a program around quickly.

This team should be a top 25 team

It may take a good non-conference win but they should crack it and move up pretty quick.

Do we anticipate AH being open for something close to full capacity by Nov? I haven’t been back for a game in forever. But with Woody, Trayce, the influx of talent and a close to full AH after all this time, that could be pretty freaking electric. May have to make that happen.

I think the current plan is yes.   Might take my daughter to a game. So that if this is the start of something great she can talk about being there
