At this stage, a top 5?

No thanks!

100% agree… why drag this out? Hope someone on his side told him that’s kind of silly. Just pick your school and move on.

Maybe he’s waiting on our staff to figure out how we make space for him?

Still doesn't make sense to me since I believe he's only visiting Indiana and Clemson.  Could be that Geronimo coming back makes it less likely he comes to Indiana as well.

Why do players like that always end up at OSU!  I hope he doesn’t become an IU killer!

Could be. But I only thought he was visiting IU and two others. I would’ve understood a few weeks ago.

I like the OSU roster including the recruits coming in.  Same with Michigan if their big 3 return.  Howard’s kid is good, better than I thought.

You can almost rest assured that at some point next season -- either in Columbus or Bloomington or both (if we play 'em twice) -- OSU will have the ball, we'll have had a good defensive possession and McNeil will launch a 30-footer with Geronimo in his face and 1 second on the shot clock. And bank it in. 

Always happens. 

[Alford Bailey]

Maybe Dennis was joking with  the top 5

[Bowhunter]

Do you think McNeil picked Osu over is or we picked Dennis over him!

At least this time we won't have Archie Miller standing on the sideline with the "oh sh*t" look on his face.

Looks like it’s Dennis or we roll with this lineup. OSU took the NIL money they had for Pack & gave it to McNeil.

Ohio State has a lot of moving parts and I'm not sure they will actually be better next year than last year.  Liddel, Branham, and Young were their top three scorers and they are all gone.  In total, seven of their top eight scorers are gone.

[Chris007]

Starting lineup with TJD returning and not getting Dennis.

X, JHS, JG, Race, TJD 

Bates, Kopp, Galloway, Malik, Banks?

Leal, Gunn, Duncomb leftover?

[HoosierFan1994]

Is it just me or is Trayce leaving hints on Twitter he will be coming back? Pretty pro-IU/college basketball.

Maybe neither since we don't have a spot right now for either one.

I think it’s either JG or Tamar for the 5th spot. Whoever isn’t starting is the first one off the bench with Malik. Also think Galloway’s minutes will drop unless he develops a shot. Maybe IU should redshirt Banks? Don’t see him getting a lot of minutes. Really what they should’ve done with Logan had he let them.

You are correct, Duncomb should have been redshirted.  Maybe he will be red shirted this next year along with Leal!

Assuming Trayce does return this will probably be the best I’ve felt about the long term future of IU basketball since I’ve been a fan. Front court wise they’ll have Trayce, Race, Geronimo, and Malik this yea. The following year it’ll be Geronimo, Malik, and Banks with hopefully Duncomb (why I don’t want him to leave.. he will play a lot as a jr/sr). Backcourt wise X, JHS, Tamar this year. The following year JHS, Tamar, Cupps, and Newton. Add in the possibility of getting ‘23 KJ Evans IU has a really good two year window to make some noise. Probably the best window since the ‘12 and ‘13 teams. I get why a lot of you aren’t as optimistic. Woodson has to improve on some things. But I’m really pumped for the next few years.

I think CMW was the right hire at the right time!  Other than how he handled Fife, he is the best coach we’ve had since Sampscum and if things keep progressing, he’ll pass him and be our best coach since RMK!  There is a lot to like about him and the direction of the program
