Reminds me of Mo Creek. Just left-handed.

Stinks for Anthony and Trey since you can tell they want to be at IU. Hope they can earn some minutes or get an opportunity elsewhere if they desire

No it doesn't. Woody is going to play the guys that earn minutes. He's already said that. They'll get time if they earn time. That goes for anyone on the roster.

Love this. Given the obvious weakness in last year's backcourt.... adding PS, XJ and now Bates will be interesting. But I still think Lander and Rob improve..... exciting times

Exactly. Best players play; everyone else is required to do everything in their power to help IU win. If Anthony or Trey get a lot of minutes they will have earned them and someone else will be disappointed.

I mean having bates is the same thing if armaan wouldve stayed, they(AL,TG) had to be expecting something like this. Im sure itll all work out. 

[HoosierCoop]

Armaan who?

[sirhoosierlot]

so do we now have the most lefties per capita in college basketball? 

[JSHoosier]

This staff just started and is already recruiting better than the last one did.

I'm not too worried about Galloway. He may not light up the stat sheet but his basketball IQ is too high to keep him off the court. I'd think Woodson understands the value of a guy that understands his role and puts his teammates in the best position to succeed.

Tournament team!

Armaan knew there was about to be some competition and took his ball and went elsewhere. 

I won't be convinced otherwise. That's why I have a lot of respect for Trey and Anthony who want to be here and battle knowing their minutes most likely get cut.

Trying to come up with a comparable recruitment we’ve had to this kid. Any help? I’m late this morning, good pickup staff!!!

That's a good question lol. My first thought was "another lefty".

Just wondering if we are done with the roster  or will we see any movement either way with the roster.

Love that he is described as an “intense competitor”! We need some of that fire and between X and Bates we are getting a lot of it coming into our backcourt!

This article is a few days old from Jerry Meyer. But a quote that stood out to me...

"I don’t know if he will end up a five-star in the 2021 247Sports Composite, but I think he will at least end up close."
