Boys.. you bring Franklin AND Thompson with Johnson. And possibly add Brooks. You're talking about a squad. 

Thompson is what every good team has off the bench.

I can see it. With the X-factor and if Armaan comes back we become a team that can actually win in the tournament next year.

Minn is going to stink anyway... why slog through the bad years only to miss out on IU's coming out party?

Race is a dude that you love to have on your team, add in the fact that he could really grow under Woodson and boy it’s exciting to potentially have him back in the fold

Race as a backup 5 to TJD would be fire

With Minnesota (his most likely transfer spot) being in some disarray with an underwhelming HC hire and a several transfers, it probably puts IU back in the running, especially with all of IU's returnees and now a big transfer in XJ

We could have some serious practices with those guys...

Truthfully, I wouldn't get too tied up in Woody's stated preference for a 4-1 offensive scheme. The 4-1 scheme is something that IU will certainly work towards, especially with recruiting, and we will probably see at least some elements of it this year, but Woody wants to win now will put the best lineups on the floor, regardless of scheme. So if Race does come back, we could see a lot of Race and TJD at the same time if that's one of IU's better lineups

Plus, Race does have a decent outside shot, so we could probably run some hybrid of a 4-1 (3.5-1.5 :) ) with Race playing a little more outside than we are used to seeing, especially if his shooting continues to improve

Is Drew Davis a reliable Twitter guy?

Yes, if he is a good coach, and many people who have worked with him or played for him says he is, then he should be able to adjust his scheme to the players that he has. Flexibility is desirable in coach, not the rigidness we saw for the last 4 years.

Yep, Race is the kind of junkyard dog player who is necessary to win in the Big Ten.

Saw what he said about Trayce’s latest tweet and noticed he pinned some random Keion brooks tweet from a few years back on his page.

You mean we have a coach who will tailor his scheme based on the strengths or weaknesses of his team? That's crazy talk at IU!

13 but Brunk does count towards the limit - SR taking additional COVID year without transferring

If he can’t hit the 3 at least at a 33% clip not sure he will be able to get minutes here.  You have to be able to hit the 3 in modern basketball
