Forbes was clear as a bell in that video from today that he is staying at Tulane. Unless that video was pre-recorded a while ago probably wise to no longer project him into an IUBB lineup!

Lol. Seems so.  
 

Back on the Reeves train I suppose.  
 

or more likely the Gunn, Galloway train

Probably stick with what we have. I think if he is fully healthy that Newton will be a contributor for this team.

Sucks for us but props to him for staying at his original school. You don't see that too much.

I know but he's been there for three years. Tulane isn't a P6 school. So good for him for staying. Most guys want to get out with NIL opportunities and what not. Just kind of rare to see now.

Or the rumors of him leaving were started had some base in reality and Tulane upped their NIL to him.  I'm of the opinion that this rumors typically aren't started out of nothing.  What is interesting is that the interview was posted from the FearTheWave twitter account.....FearTheWave, or FTW, is a Tulane collective group.  Below is the banner at the FearTheWave twitter account.

This one might be over before it even gets started.

Just the opening salvo in NIL negotiations. IU to step up?

I think Indiana is best suited to have more guys playing together that can handle, make plays, shoot, push the pace and defend multiple positions.

I just think Galloway would be best suited for the 6th man role

He's best suited to start with the roster we have with or without Forbes.

The only guaranteed starter on this team is Galloway.  The only starter returning from last year's team. Galloway and X will be the team captains and will take on the responsibility for teaching the others the Woodson way and holding them accountable.  How many minutes he plays may be up in the air and whether he will finish the games is also open to speculation.  But, he will start.  Call it team politics if you like.

So in your world Johnson is a captain, but not a starter?

Trilly Donovan indicating that Paul Mulcahy is focusing on Gonzaga, Kentucky, Notre Dame, and Washington.

I know pUKe needs bodies, but isn't it mostly big bodies they need? Adding mid-level 6'5" guards helps with the intra-squad scrimmage but ain't gonna help against Tennessee and Alabama. 

They need shooting as well, even more so if Reeves were to not come back.  The top guard recruits they have coming in are ultra talented but they aren't great shooters.

Plus they have NO experience. Mulcahy would be big for them.

Yeah and he’s slight but has genuinely good size for a guard — can definitely guard up to a 3, and could easily play with two other guards

He's also not afraid to play dirty if it looks like he's getting beat.

Chandler Lawson (Memphis) enters the portal.  Assume he's a grad transfer.  Played two years at Oregon and two years at Memhis.  6'8" power forward.  Last season averaged 19.6 mpg, 5.0 points, and 4.5 rebounds.

With his departure, currently the only player from the Memphis 2022-23 roster returning is Penny Hardaway's sone Jayden.

Transfer Ian Martinez (Maryland) commits to Utah State.  Played his freshman year at Utah followed by two years at Maryland.  Averaged 18 mpg last year for the Terps.  5.7 ppg, shot 40% from three.
