Probably but nothing is guaranteed.

Ugh, that was completely unnecessary.

3 (TJD, Reneau, Duncomb) 

I really like the idea of adding Shedrick, will allow IU to match-up with the hulking monstrosities of Purdoo but also go more up-tempo.

B1G could still have a lot of good centers next season (Edey, Dickinson, Dane, Crowl....) 

100%. The option to play big and small is huge. (Especially when playing big with athletic guys who can go grab a rebound). Sissoko barely saw the floor in Sparty’s game vs KSU but was instrumental the round before

Per Rothstein, IU, along with everyone else, has reached out to AJ Storr.

Pretty sure the only time I seen him on the floor, I saw the ugliest jumpshot in CBB.

I'm all aboard the "don't tweet at croots" train, but I can't help myself...I laugh at this meme every time, no exceptions.

I wonder... I we are going after another big man with Shedrick and Ware... Does the staff have Reneau slim down and work on his speed and agility to play the 4? If he can hit 3s at 30% or better next season, he's going to be a good spot as a stretch 4 where you at least have to respect him shooting a little.

Technically 4 but 2 played a lot at the 4 and 1 was an All American that played almost the entire game most nights.

So two 5’s then.

Exactly my point.  
 

Everyone was/is real excited about playing a “modern” offense that is 4/1 with a pg and 3 athletic wings.  
 

Sparks may have come here as a backup but it surely isn’t as a garbage time guy 3rd center. So if we get another coveted 5, it will be to likely start with Reneau. I suppose the other alternative is that Reneau is possibly gone. I hope not. 
 

 I’m saying prepare your expectations accordingly.

Curbelo moving on from St. Johns, he's in the portal. 

I would love to have heard what Slick Rick had to say about him and then, his response...lol

You are what you can guard. I can’t see Reneau guarding the better stretch 4’s or 4th perimeter players on most teams that use them.  
 

Race was a decent defender and got torched by Miami. Murray from Iowa?  I love Reneau but he realistically can’t guard those types out on the perimeter. 
 

Otoh, Reneau is strong looking guy. Outside of Edey I can’t think of too many 5’s in the league that would be bad matchups for him.

Could Shedrick guard that type though? I normally enjoy UVA's style, but they weren't particularly interesting this year so I haven't watched the kid. I know he's billed as an athletic 5, but not sure if that's more vertical than lateral, switchable, etc. or what.

Definitely more of a vertical threat... But compared to Reneau, many are.

First time I'd seen it and thought it was funny. I don't get around much.

I don't believe we know all of Malik's capabilities just yet, jmo.

Appreciate the post. If you keep posting you will get that awful Purdue jockstrap off your name, unless you like that kind of thing. 

A post like this is why a puke emoji is needed. ;)

Reneau wasn't that far behind Race, a 5th year senior, by the end of the year in being able to guard 4s and other perimeter players this past season as a freshman. It is reasonable that he will improve in this area next season. 

How often do we play Miami or a Murray type player exactly? IMO, we're recruiting Ledlum/Battle in part for those situations. It will be nice to have more speed available to play at the 4 if/when we need it but we're not likely to need it all that often. Most of the time we will need size, both to get through the B1G and in case of injury. 

Reneau is serviceable at the 5 but he is a 4. I doubt he was recruited to IU to be pigeonholed into the 5 exclusively and it might be slightly important for Woody to stick to his word where Reneau is concerned.
