no big would come here knowing tjd is going to play 30+ minutes a night. 

Really? The other spot is open for 30+ minutes a night too. Race doesn’t have a starting spot secured. 2 bigs can play at a time especially if 1 can shoot. Archie just couldn’t figure it out. Most coaches can.

I don’t see us being a championship contender with Race as our 4 and TJD as our 5.

 

TJD doesn’t guard strong and tall bigs well. Plus, foul problems which he becomes prone to. Race is an undersized 4/5 that lacks perimeter skills.

 

Countless schools will have better front courts than us.

To be perfectly honest, a championship contender might be a lot for Woodson to turn us into in one offseason (although he’s doing his best to improve us so far!)

[WayneFleekHoosier]

What were those options to get? I think Kopp is a fantastic pick up if true. Some games he plays 8m some he plays 28m and there's no issue. 

Don’t know the options until you sell the opportunity. Numerous bigs have moved around already and others are in the portal. Kopp is whatever. An average player from an average/bad team. That’s been the Hoosier motto for years.

If what the coaches allegedly told Brunk about his role here is true, it doesn’t sound like they have much interest in playing two bigs unless one can shoot the ball really well.

Yeah, I’m not counting on it, but with open market on transfers aim for the moon with impact player. We already have bench depth.

I think finding bigs to fit what we want to do on defense will be harder than offense. If we’re switching everything then you need someone with good mobility like Race and Trayce. Brunk obviously didn’t fit that. Hopefully we see more double teams in the post next year for harder to guard big men. That’s something that Archie rarely did but could help out if Trayce is the 5.

I don’t buy that. Look at who they are recruiting in 2022. Crowley, Washington, and the 6’8” kid. Coaches like size, and versatility. They will play 2 or even 3 bigs if the right options come along. Not enough info on Brunk to use him as an example.

Yep

So now we are going to act like we know what the coaches told Brunk? Where is this coming from with validity?

I agree.  Brunk is a 5.  No versatility there.  TJD can be a 4 or a 5 which is the same with many bigs.  Woodson seems to prefer flexibility and it would not surprise me if he adds a big that can play the 4 or 5.

Imo, that’s what we need. Now we wait and see if they add Kopp. Swider would have been nice in this role.

Do you know we haven't tried for "better" 4s?

This is blowing up...haven’t seen anything on Rafters lately, but there was some talk on Twitter last night

Was right about AF leaving completely, a week before he announced he was off to UVA. EDIT: Last Month

I think it’s a very real possibility our lineup is 3 guards with Hunter at the 4 and TJD at the 5. Race 25 mins off the bench.

TJD said “We ain’t done.”

Not saying this is what’s happening, but something is going to happen with a 4/5.

Was there more to the Twitter talk than the top one? That guy may be spot on, again as you point out, but it doesn’t seem to be blowing up based on 6 replies unless that is just a sample.

Not saying this is what’s happening, but This would be incredible proof. The best option  of all. 

I was debating on whether not post that guys tweet, but scrolling through his tweets seemed like he knew stuff

Here some that stood out to me 

They are Kentucky fan accounts too, but I personally think nothing will happen. It’s up to your interpretation  

 

On the blowing up part, I probably just missed stated it

Fans literally speaking this into existence would be the funniest thing. I want Keion to just do it for the hype at this point.

Meh, on April 7th he tweeted "you would think that Race and Armaan are gone, why else wait this long?"  So am doubting that on March 23rd he had information that he wasn't even sure of two weeks later.  Also never tweeted any predictions of the Xavier Johnson or Tamar Bates so I'm doubting any inside information.

IU has an offer for Miller Kopp and we're in his final three.  Keion Brooks has had over a month to join the portal if he wanted to.
