Not likely since he wouldn’t be a grad transfer.

It is possible that could be the case but that’s his only way to transfer at this point.

He could still transfer if he was willing to sit out a year so technically, that isn't  the only way to transfer since the portal closed.

Do we know if he did graduate?

Was supposed to visit Michigan after he visited West Virginia.  Has now added a visit to Kansas State before he takes a Michigan visit.

I've got first hand knowledge that they are actually connected to a multiple players in the draft process, and CMW has met with them personally.

Now you are just being cryptic…..we want names, not initials!

If CMW doesn’t land or any player doesn’t show interest in IU from the draft combine, he will stay with the current roster.  We may as well get comfortable with Trey or Gunn playing the SG position.

Jeff Goodman indicating Cam Spencer is down to four schools:  Miami, U Conn, Oklahoma and UCLA.

There should be no discomfort with Trey Galloway playing SG. Galloway started this past season at that position and ended up the best 3-point shooter on the team (percentage wise).  Galloway has gotten better every year he has been at IU.  However, Gunn has a long way to go to be ready for extended minutes. His 3-point shooting (8.3%) was awful in part because his shot selection was poor.  Hopefully, his judgment on the court will improve in year 2 because he has the physical talent to be a good player.  If not, Jakai Newton or even Anthony Leal may end up seeing the floor more than Gunn. After Galloway, none of Gunn, Newton or Leal are proven back-ups.

From a defensive perspective, Galloway is a good starting option. While his percentage did improve last year, his average PPG is pretty low for a starting SG. Hopefully, he can work on his ability to confidently get his shot off in more situations to bring his points up. Having X and other strong wing options should help.

Sure would be nice to bring in another guard option for a year, even if it's just a more proven bench option.

The more I think about it the more I like Galloway starting at the 2. He’s very efficient when he does shoot, he just doesn’t look for his own shot much. And then he does everything else well. Isn’t that somewhat ideal? We have plenty of guys who will be hunting their own shots. Usage will never be even, and isn’t really intended to be. If Trey keeps hitting over 40% when he does take a 3, and drives when the right opportunity is there, his skill set is about ideal, no?

I've got no problem with it.  Cupps, will get more time, Gunn and Banks would get more opportunity, and maybe even Newton.  Just need a guy or 2 to step up.  

Our backup PG is a freshman Cupps or a slightly out of positon Galloway.  If X isn't able to go all year that is when we would have a big problem because then you are counting on Cupps or Galloway as your primary 1 and I don't know if that is ideal.

Not looking for his own shot much was sometimes problematic last year as there weren't many on the team who did. TJD and JHS were the main two who were willing to shoot and could score. Reneau also looked to score when he got the ball, sometimes too much were I hope he becomes a more willing passer. Outside of that, no one really did, unless you want to count Gunn who liked to shoot when he was in the game but couldn't hit.

Next season IU will have XJ who can score or pass as needed, Mgbako whom I assume will look to score, and Reneau (see above). Ware averaged about 1 shot every 3 minutes of play while TJD averaged 1 shot about every 4 minutes of play so it looks like he is another who will be looking to score. So that is 4 players who will (or at least can) who will be looking to shoot and score. So it might not be a bad thing to have 1 starter who does a lot of things without feeling the need to get shots.

That said, I would still like to have someone that averages around double digits in that position. Maybe that can be Galloway, maybe not.
