Player decisions

There’s always room for Brooks if it were legit.

Our best shooter has left. Woody has his work cut out for him this summer. 
 

Earn that check Mr. Woodson

Our best shooter was Parker Stewart. He’s over 40% from 3. Our guard play is going to be exponentially better than it has been. Lander & Leal are going to develop. I wouldn’t worry. Wishing Armaan the very best in Charlottesville.

One door closes another door opens. Franklin can be replaced. Get a Ziesloft type player instead.

I would bet a lot of money that IU plays UVA in the B1G ACC challenge.

Not surprised.  
 

Think he lost his starting spot when Race came back 

Johnson

Stewart

Hunter

Race

TJD

Is my guess.  

Will be interesting who can carve out big chunks off the bench.  
 

With better guard play Brunk could be a stud off the bench for us. 
 

Lander and Phinisee pushing hard for back up spot. 
 

Then Leal, Galloway, Geronimo going for the rest.  
 

Definitely want to get another transfer.  11 players with experience is better than the 7 we had last year though by a country mile

Aren't those matchups determined by the conference standings from the previous year?

Is what it is. Good luck to Armaan and on to the next one

If we had not fired Archie, Armaan is probably back. If had not fired Archie, TJD is definitely gone and Xavier Johnson isn't here.

Armaan who??  My team is on the floor.

I live in Virginia and watch a lot of UVA ball. Bennett is obviously a very good coach. The style of play is just as boring as Archie Miller's, just more effective. I doubt the move has much impact on Armaan's NBA chances. He is a good college player but to me calling him a future NBA player is a stretch.  Anyway, with the addition of Xavier Johnson, IU has enough guards. Parker Stewart will play the position and Stewart is a better shooter. Good luck to Armaan. He seems like a good guy.

Apparently Armaan was 99% gone if Archie came back

Didn't know that. Well, then he just wanted out. Good luck to him.

[HoosierBoiler]

Bad luck he was at IU during Miller Time.

Not Gonna lose sleep over it.

Chance to add from portal .

[Hoosierfan1901]

2 more open scholarships + Brunk

Add one if Brunk gives it a go.  We don’t need 14 guys.  I’m okay adding 2 if Brunk isn’t a go.  

[Hoosierfan1901]

Anyone know who we are targeting else in the portal? I know Noah Locke, but that’s all

[Josh]

Franklin is such a disappointment.  Apparently he just didn't like being a Hoosier because he quit on Archie and wouldn't stick with his teammates and Woody.  Bye.

[Alford Bailey]

Franklin shined playing on poor IU teams but is a 3rd or 4th option on a good team so I’m not losing any sleep. Good luck to him.

Kind of thought this might be the case. He pretty much fits exactly what Woodson wants, all his teammates came back, there is more life/excitement around the program than at any time during AF's 2 years here, yet he still leaves? Best of luck to him but he was never coming back for his junior season regardless of who the coach was.
