Apparently Armaan was 99% gone if Archie came back

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

Bad luck he was at IU during Miller Time.

Not Gonna lose sleep over it.

Chance to add from portal .

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

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.

Guess he loves those 50 point offensive juggernaut-type systems. Let’s see how long it takes mom to get frustrated with Bennett.

Are we really going to mock the guy that until Monday was the reigning champ?

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

"Hey Armaan, Xavier Johnson is REALLY looking forward to meeting you!"  Good luck in the lane.

I'm a little surprised Race is coming back, and a little surprised Franklin is leaving.

After thinking about it, we should be fine with Stewart and Johnson on top of our youth, and probably need Race back more than Franklin.

I appreciate Franklin's contributions to IU, but he's gone, and no longer a Hoosier. Buh bye.

Once a Hoosier, Always a Hoosier (unless you are Kelvin Sampson)

He made the decision that he believes is best for him. Good on Armaan. No ill will.

Wonder if Danes shot across the bow talking to DD about players being responsible about parents factored in. Not sure if it was directed at AF's mom, but they had to take notice with her propensity for voicing herself on social media. I real wish he would have wanted to stay at IU but now it's next man up.

I have no ill will, but I also don't have "best wishes" for him. I'm fine with players leaving who got passed over and wish them well in finding a place they can play more......, but any player that leaves when they're a starter or primary contributor, well, that's another question. Again, no ill well, but he's no longer a Hoosier.

[ramadden13]

At least it wasn’t Illinois! I can rationalize him going to the team that won the 2019 national championship.

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

That was what they said when it started but in practice it hasn't been even close to that. IU has played Duke, UNC, and other top teams in the ACC even when IU wasn't very good. IU's parings in the challenge have been a joke.

It's 2 open scholarships regardless of if Brunk is on the team next year or not. He doesn't count toward the scholarship cap this season.

[Ghost of Rick Majerus]

I hate it but I wish Arman the best of luck. He seems like a great kid and I really liked the way he played. But at the end of the day, I guess he is doing what he feels is best. If nothing else, I appreciate not seeing him play for Illinois.
