Player decisions

I'm just saying that only having TJD, Race, and Duncomb is a gamble. They need a 4th person that can play the 5 especially if Race still plays the 4 some which I still think he will at times. 

eh I don’t really agree. Having that many true 5s on your roster isn’t needed. We need more shooting from the 4 spot

No he didn't

I agree. I changed my mind after doing a positional breakdown just now. Just get some dang shooters already

It was the we not done yet tweet that he retweeted. Like I said, idk if it means we’re getting another player or what but it seems to have some significance that he would retweet it

How many of those guys are "true" 5's though. I'm sorry, and maybe I'm just old, but I don't look at guys who are 6'8" or 6'9" as being "true 5's". Well, unless your name is Ray Tolbert.  :)

Phinisee or Hunter could be next. Fife hinted that there could still be some guys leave on the HH podcast. They are the only two that never really said anything after the change.

Given the timing and lack of commitment from the portal, I think that the TJD retweet was simply saying that he was not done re-recruiting back last years players (Race had just committed and Armaan was still undecided then). 

I think we will add another player from the portal that can help (just a #'s thing, there are 1000+ players in the portal and maybe 100+ could help us), but I no longer think that TJD's tweet means we are going to land someone in particular (like Keion, as many thought at the time).

We need a 7-footer

I agree but the team also needs shooting. We'll see what other roster moves are made.

Jordan can play small ball five. I don't think we need another 4 or 5. We need shooting. 

Give me another SG. 

 

 

Kristian

Johnson / Rob

Parker / Trey

Race / Hunter

TJD / Jordan

Woody will stagger line-ups as well. 

I think it's a given we all wanted another wing.

The height isn't nearly as important as the skill level though.

IDK, but I hate to lose Brunk.

I just don't see Race having the size to really play the in/5 for any duration. Sure, spot duty would be fine, but if TJD were to get hurt, or early foul trouble, we'd be hurtin' for certain. 

Race IMO needs to stick at 4 and develop a shot.

Hoping we can pick up a more natural 5 in the portal, or at least a bigger/stretch 4/5.

I believe there are 2 spots open. Get 1 of each.

That's correct. There are 2 available at this point in time.

A little sad to see Brunk go. He sat out all of last season and still supported the team through the worst of it. He seemed like a guy who truly knew what it meant to be an Indiana Hoosier. More than anything, I was expecting he was going to be able to bring a senior-leadership mentality to the team. Now, I will say that it looks like TJD is trying to step into that leadership position, so maybe we'll be fine in that department. But there's a reason the Miami Heat still pays Udonis Haslem, and I can assure you it's not the numbers in the box score. Joey will be a valuable asset to whatever team he ends up playing for. Good luck!

Only four #iubb scholarship players remain on the roster from just two seasons ago (19-20):

1. Phinisee
2. Hunter
3. Thompson
4. Jackson-Davis

So we have what, 2 scholarships available now? And zero Seniors?

I believe Rob Phin will be a senior, but he will still have that 5th year left due to Covid.
