It is interesting that Virginia uses the pack-line defense.  Wonder if Armaan Franklin likes that.

If he does, he's the first one from IU other than Archie...(imo)

Im betting we dont see much of Leal or Galloway next season especially if we return Franklin or land a similar transfer.

That’s my guess as well.

Ideally they'll get plenty of time late in games, with a focus on maintaining leads.

That depends how much they improve!

Both have real potential, but got a little more run as freshmen than optimal.

But it has to be a healthy Trey. He was never the same after the back injury

Yep.

Pre back injury: 15 games, 21.6 mpg, 28/61 from the field (46%), 68 points (4.5 ppg), 2.5 rpg, 1.9 apg. 

Post back injury:  11 games, 15.1 mpg, 7/23 from the field (30%), 22 points (2.0 ppg), 1.5 rpg, 0.9 apg.

I like both and think either could carve out a role.

I am also SO excited to have an IU squad with the depth not to need to depend on a player (or two) who are a year (or two) away from being solid contributors.

The overwhelming bulk of minutes will go to players in at least their third year, except whatever time is carved out for a second year 5-star PG. if one of the other underclassmen gets high-leverage minutes, it will be because he earned them.

Not surprised.  
 

Think he lost his starting spot when Race came back 

Johnson

Stewart

Hunter

Race

TJD

Is my guess.  

[tyappleg]

At least it's a team I like and not Illinois. 

[HoosierHoopster]

This won’t be popular but I’m ambivalent about AF leaving. He was extremely high usage, he often took a really high volume of the team’s shots, and he didn’t want to come back when we brought everyone else back to play for a genuinely good NBA coach and IU legacy player who will push the 3-point game and has surrounded himself already with a top flight staff including Fife and of course Matta.

You’d rather go try to win now for yourself in another program? Ok, best of luck to you.

[Indiana8585]

At least it wasn’t Illinois, ND, or Louisville. 
 

Good luck AF

Happy for AF. Hope he succeeds at UVA (unless they play Indiana)

[LamarCheeks]

He's leaving because he wanted to wear No. 4. ... C'mon, Khristian -- you just cost us our best shooting guard! 
 

 

[theriverpilot]

Wishing Armaan luck at UVA. I think he’ll do well there.

 

With that said, I’m assuming another SG would be nice to use with one of our 2 scholarships left. A good opportunity to upgrade the position like we did with Xavier

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

Earn that check Mr. Woodson

[monskisprodigy]

Well, that sucks...but life goes on. Wish him nothing but the best, and hope he succeeds at UVA.

Who are we on in the portal to fill that hole?
