We can't replace TJD. 

But adding Ware to the frontcourt is about as good as you could ask for. This is another huge get for Woody!

Yep We can’t replace TJD but this was literally our best option Woodson knocked it out of the park. A few more pieces and we can be right back in the hunt.

I'm ecstatic about adding Ware. This height and length is something I haven't seen on an Indiana team in my time following the program, I don't think (loosely in the DJ White era and more closely in the Zeller/Dipo era).

  1. XJ - 6'3
  2. TG - 6'4 
  3. Ledlum - 6'6
  4. Reneau - 6'9
  5. Ware - 7'

Could add Knecht and Banks and CJ Gunn, three more 6'6 guys.

If we play the perimeter-centric offense many anticipate Woody prefers next season, I wouldn't be surprised if our rebounding is actually improved a bit. More threes/perimeter shots could lead to longer rebounds and if we're active without the ball could see us getting our fair share of second chance opportunities. I think/hope Reneau takes a big jump next year on his rebounding numbers.

Did I miss something? When did we add Ledlum?

Personally speaking... working with young adults. When I have had success building rapport/creating relationships, a lot of times, that bond was initially formed by ME owning up to one of MY mistakes. Kids don't need to exiled. Connect with them! 

Maybe Kel'el Ware told CMW.. "I need a coach who I know has my back and I'll give that coach everything I've got" or something like that, ya know? 

"As I have said, son, what happens in the locker room, stays in the locker room."

Marcus Dumask (Southern Illinois) committed to Illinois.  Decent pick up.  First team All-MVC last year.  Averaged 16.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.8 apg.  6'6" small forward.  On3 lists him as the 77th best portal player.  247 hasn't rated him yet (they seem to miss some of the portal guys) but describe him as a very skilled offensive player but limited athlete.  Good passer and cutter.  Said he was a lot like Sam Griesel but better three point shooter (35% from three last year for Dumask).
