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

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.

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

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

We will have enough depth  to pound the **** out of people!

So in that scenario one person has to go

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

I know I keep saying it, but to me Race is athletic enough to play the 4 in Woodson's scheme. He can guard at least 3-5, and some 2s as well on a switch. And he was reputed to have good range on his shot, although we haven't seen it much since he arrived.

I think he'd be a more effective 4 against a number of B1G teams in 2021-22 than would Geronimo or Brooks.

Yep, and that's why IU sucked the last couple of years, because they couldn't hit an open shot. 

I'm skeptical that they will become much better over a single offseason. IU needs to recruit a couple of shooters. Hopefully Parker is one of those guys, but whether or not Aarman comes back, CMW needs to find another shooter.

That’s been pinned for at least a couple days.

Which is a little strange he is pinning something 2 years ago until recently. I’m probably stretching at this point

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Whats the pinned tweet

[HoosierFan1994]

If this kid can cut down on some of his turnovers and improve his three point shot a little bit man what a player IU is getting.
