I know he said he's going pro but I would contact Nate Reuvers if I was on the IU staff and he if Woodson could give him the development for professional basketball talk. 

Is this Alex Bozich’s account on Btown Banners?  Lol. He loves him some Nate Reuters.

I know we are talking about portal transfers, but we are getting kind of top heavy and PT is getting thin.  Any value in looking at high schoolers and building for the future.  Only 1 incoming can't be good (thanks Archie, you asshat).

No and he's not my first choice but IU does need to have some size and Brunk isn't a guarantee. Reuvers has shown some ability to shoot so with the right coach and system he might be able to develop an even better jumper.

Not many available at this point and the ones that are it's way to late to jump in on unless there is a decommit with a school having a coaching change.

+1

Not a bad idea, there are plenty of top 150 players still unsigned. Given the backlog created by the extra year, it might be a good moment to buy low.

I don't want this team to take another post player in this era. And with our depth the only player we could take is a project. 

Wait until next year and get someone proven when we have way more minutes to offer. 

No kidding, I thought i was the biggest cheerleader for post depth on this board (maybe Aloha a close 2nd) and I am Fine with three (3!) Centers (TJD, Brunk, Duncomb.) Obviously if Brunk isn't healthy or the plan is to move Trayce to the 4 that changes things, but with this brave new world of college free agency I wouldn't pack your roster for down the road too much. Sure IU will likely lose 3 bigs next year (Race, TJD & Brunk) so what? Just go take a couple of seasoned guys from the Sun Belt or wherever.

Nunge to Xavier per twitter.

seems like a good move for both parties.

Has there been any update on Locke save that we reached out to him originally?

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Could be keion and that qb in the same day...he did say news dump

If Woodson wants to add some length on the wing, a few names in the portal that I don't think have been mentioned yet would be: Timmy Allen (Utah), Matt Bradley (UC-Berkeley), and Micah Peavy (Texas Tech). No idea if IU has any connections to any of the three, but they would all upgrade the roster IMO.

I like Bradley a lot, he was mentioned last night. Zach Nutall is another that is a shooter

Maybe TJD is making some headway with his buddy.

Hope not, I don't want Brooks. He doesn't fill a need as I see it and I think he (&/or his family) are drama queens. I want him to leave UK to create more chaos and sadness for the in-bred, big-blew bunch, but hope he goes to Louisville or anywhere besides IU.

UK has focused on him but he wants to get paid.

I don't see why that would rule out UK?

[cbp4iu]

The only thing is.... Why hasn’t anyone in the Brooks family (Especially Keion)with all these rumors coming out just tweet he’s staying or say the rumors are false. That’s why I believe they actually may be true. Multiple tweets and verified accounts are constantly posting he leaving so why just come out and say he it’s not true or he’s committed to their program.

I agree but speculating on guys that haven't been connected at all is kind of pointless. With Brooks there is something going on I just don't know what so I'm not getting excited because he already played IU once. Even the UK people are starting to think he's leaving. 

Well since he’s not in the portal, IU theoretically hasn’t contacted him either. Much like Mitchell. Now are you saying IU’s been in contact with him even though he’s not in the portal?

[IU Prof]

One possible hypothesis: Brooks would like to transfer to IU, but if not will stay at UK. However, the IU staff is waiting to hear back from a bigger target first before offering Brooks.

Tre Mitchell guards the same players that TJD, Race, and Brunk guard. It isn't about his three point ability. It is who he can guard. 

Baylor and Gonzaga started 1 post player and 4 wings. IU needs to get away from 2 post players, which wouldn't be the case if Tre Mitchell came here. He doesn't fit what we need and we don't fit what he needs. 

I wouldn't call Vital a wing player

I mean he is listed as a guard and played primarily on the wing.

He was 0-6 on 3s this season.  He spent all his time down low or setting screens,  he was not playing on the wing.
