Player decisions

One if Race and Franklin come back, correct? So if more players want to commit, then bye Franklin and Race.

I’m pretty sure if everyone comes back we’d have 2 open scholarships due to Brunk not counting.

Huh. Does that include Parker?

I was wrong. We had 12 counting Parker. Brunks drops off.  

[Brass Cannon 24,210]

Still don’t expect Race back. So 2 or 3 spots

I believe that Brunk's spot wouldn't count since he would have been a senior last year.  This upcoming year I believe last year's seniors don't count against the 13 cap.

So do all players get an extra year? Last year was basically a free year for everyone but scholarship numbers will look normal after next year?

Correct. Scholarship numbers don’t count for seniors staying at the same school. Brunk wouldn’t count against IU but Durham sill count against Providence total. Everyone else on the roster essentially received a redshirt for last year.

The fact that Lander liked this tweet is so weirdly funny to me. These kids seem so happy to get any coaching and skill development...

How I feel. Armaan is 50/50. Get some shooters with size in the portal. 

[RaceToTheTop 24,822]

I have a feeling that you won't hear an announcement from Indiana that a player isn't coming back.....so if Armaan or Race leave, we'll hear it first from the player themselves.

I think we hear something about Race and Franklin today one way or another.

Just a guess.

Sorry if I missed it, were they given a deadline?

They all met with Coach Woodson yesterday afternoon one on one for the 2nd time. So he met with them last Monday, then they had all week to meet with teams, then he had the last meeting with them yesterday. That is why we heard about Lander and Jordan. They told him they were coming back in their meeting. So makes me believe we hear something today

That sounds perfectly reasonable.  They've heard what Woodson has to say and from potential destinations.  Ample tme to make a decision has been given.

Doesn't do either side any good to drag it out.  If they're coming back, Woody can start spending some time evaluating the '22 and '23 classes.  If they're not, he focuses on filling out his roster for the upcoming season through the portal.

Thanks for sharing. It's the best interest for both parties to decide sooner than later. What we need is a strong unit that fully buys in what CMW wants to do.

Hopefully today is another great day to be a Hoosier fan.

Gut feeling: 

Thompson-Gone

Franklin- Stays. I think our chance increases with Johnson if Franklin leaves. If Franklin stays, I'm not sure. 

[Hoosierfan2017 20,753]

@Chris007 any insight on what led Geronimo to decide to stay at IU? I'm just curious how Coach Woodson convinced him to stay when it sounded like he was as good as gone based on his parents' comments.
