Probably 100%  related to NIL why he ended up at A&M.   
 

 

That's conjecture on your part.  NIL isn't the only thing a player has to decide on.  Playing time, fit, and most definitely is always going to be a factor as is offensive focus.

A&M has two recruits coming in....one unranked, one a JUCO player.  They have five transfers coming in.....Dennis is the only one who averaged more than five points per game.  If A&M has a lot of NIL money to give, they're doing it wrong.

Maybe but i trust the people where the info came from.  Timeline fits that conjecture.  When the guy that basically run IU’s NIL puts it out there that he doesn’t know why he decided what he did but if he expected IU to play the NIL game with him which is against the rules he was wrong.  Basically NIL is for current scholarship players on the team.  You can’t negotiate an NIL deal with a transfer or incoming recruit.  Teams I’m sure are doing it but it sounds like IU isn’t.   Also on that conjecture timeline before the pack deal he told people he was going to IU.  Draw your own conclusions.  I know what I will believe.  Everyone has an opinion.   You saying dennis chose them for playing time and fit is just as much conjecture as mine is that it was NIL driven.   My last  post on an A&M player

Isn't every post of yours here conjecture?

Absolutely.  I was just responding to the 'probably 100% related to NIL'.  Not a big deal, IMO.  I was fine leaving it with the agree to disagree.  It's not like we are actually having an argument about it, just a difference of opinions (over a player who isn't at IU, so IMO it's really not a big deal).

2 weeks until we know on TJD! Hope he comes back!

At most. I think we'll find out in about a week. No sources, just a guess.

Wow…that stinks for him. I know we all want him to come back, but he eventually wants to play in the NBA and this is a big part of getting there.

There's maybe something of a silver lining in this for TJD. Having to miss the 5v5 and the individual workouts/interviews because he has to isolate, while missing out on feedback, may mean he gets some more attention from teams during/after next season (highly likely he'll be back now imo) who didn't get to evaluate him now.

It's certainly not great for him of course, and I agree that he'll most likely be back. With that said, the small group team workouts are way more important than the combine, so as long as he gets cleared and his agent can load up his schedule with those, he still will have the opportunity to impress some teams.

Yeah completely agree, but as of now he has to self-quarantine and the interviews were cancelled. I'm unclear if he'll still be able to set up individual/team workouts before the deadline, hope he can.

Yeah, not sure what the rules are there. For current NBA players (see Al Horford this week) they just need to produce 2 negative tests and they can come back. 

Assuming (not sure though) it's the same for TJD and he can get two negatives, he'd still have time to do the small group workouts with teams. 

Obviously a lot of assumptions there, not clue what TJD's specific situation is.

We have a legitimate 10-11 guys that should be seeing minutes next year.  Woodson can do his pro-style lineup swaps without hesitation. 

[HoosierHoopster]

OK, we're going to be good :)

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Here lies the rub.

 

I’m a strong believer the best college teams play 8.   Because of roster, and loyalty and style I worry Woody will play 10-11.  I suppose that is ok early but I fear too many guys getting minutes. 
 

X

(Bates/JHS)

Geronimo

Race

TJD

bench order to me

6. (JHS/Bates)

7. Reneau

8. Galloway

9. Kopp

10-13 Banks, Duncomb, Gunn, Leal

Practices should be something else. Everyone can play.

Miller Kopp will not be outside the regular rotation. He is the best 3-point shooter on the team. Plus he is a senior and Coach Woodson likes to rely on older, more experienced players.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Or if you look at it by position on a 30-10 split or so.

 

X-Galloway  28-12

JHS/Bates split  20-20

Geronimo-Kopp 25-15

Race-Reneau 30-10

TJD-Duncomb 34-6

fighting for minutes-Gunn, Banks, Leal

 

only problem is JHS and Bates both may deserve starter minutes. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Now thinking even further ahead.

 

we replace X, TJD, Race, Kopp at minimum correct?  So 4 plus recruiting spots guaranteed to be open? I realize TJD could come back but.   
 

nice big class building. I’d like to get 2 bigs and a shooter or a great big and a shooter.  Seems the staff does too.

Same top 8 as you. And I’m in agreement that in close games we shouldn’t see 9 and below unless there’s injuries. 
 

For me I’m think 

Xavier

JHS/Bates

Galloway/Geronimo 

Race

TJD

 

Malik gets minutes spelling Race and Trayce. 
 

And really the 4 wings are going to put a lot of pressure on each other. Between the 80 minutes there and 10 or so giving Xavier a spell the guys are going to battle for those minutes. 
 

If Geronimo is able to develop and be a 3 then this team is very dangerous. I think he can but I am not certain.
