You not watch him at Arkansas? True he's not a 3 point threat but he still played the 4 spot a lot there and had success.  

 

It's possible if he can defend. 

No. I don't watch Arkansas. He shot 21% from 3 this year.

Question about the transfer portal. The players that enter it do they control that scholarship until they transfer or can the school use it and fill the spot and tell them returning is  no longer an option?

Our offensive spacing was painful with Race and Trayce on the floor, I have a hard time imagining Trayce and Brunk would be any better. 
 

Granted that was partly on our guards being mostly incapable shooters.

Once they enter the portal their scholarship and roster spot isn’t guaranteed anymore.

I believe once they enter the school controls the scholarship and can refuse to allow them to return.

It’s on TJD too. He’ll have to be able to improve over the summer to be able to play a little stretch 4. I’d be surprised if Woody isn’t selling him on that fact (eg. 25 min a game as the big, 10min a game to showcase his stetch 4 skills).

Also, TJD’s not a center at the next level defensively  and it’s taxing to have him guard other team’s 5 all game. UCLA, OSU, UM, Gonzaga, etc...all had bigs who caused smaller team’s problems because the other team was trying to play small with 6’8” guys at C defensively. Have to have that lineup in your back pocket. If not Brunk then a transfer.

New coaching staff:

"That's no longer where you stand on offense."

Maybe, but we would have to be very careful about who we played around them. 

Phinisee/Armaan/Al/Race/Trayce had exactly two guys who were a threat from deep on the floor. Race/Trayce basically couldn't hit from out there and Phinisee was a 26% shooter.

Scholarships are year to year. Yes, we could fill their scholly while they're in the portal.

Not at Indiana it's not, it's a four-year commitment.

Suppose Woody can get Spike lee to start setting court side? Since we are gonna go, go BIG !

If you are talking about the commitment to pay for any players 4 yr education even after they have left the school, that's true.

The interesting dynamic is how it would play out and the optics if a player said I am taking myself out of the portal and Woodson said, not so fast.

Yes, I'm very confused.

This talk about entering & withdrawing from the portal is best solved by what was earlier posted: set a deadline.  If a player says he likes CMW but wants to think about it, cut 'em loose.  That is not being fully on-board.

I don’t believe it’s a four year athletic scholarship commitment.

I thought that was what happened with Gelon, no? Archie was trying to get him to transfer because he couldn’t just take away his scholarship

I agree. I'm sure we will.

Scholarships have always technically been year to year, but to yank a player in good standing's scholarship when he didn't agree to leave would be committing recruiting suicide.
