While I hope Rob doesn't transfer to PUke, I won't hate on him if he does.  He handled himself with poise and class and won some really big games for us.  I watched so many of Rob's high school games and I hate it that his IU career didn't turn out better.  I hope he lands at a program that will provide him with a great sendoff to his collegiate career.  

Same. I don’t get the urge to boo him. He gave his all for 4 yrs; things just never materialized for him.  
 

On top of that, he’s a probably a league avg backup PG, at best. He won’t appreciably help any of the teams we’re trying to pass in the standings.  I think Purdue would be a dumb option, but if that’s where he thinks he fits in best then more power to him.

I heard X is signing an NIL deal with NASCAR.

I'm okay with Durr transferring too, but IU wouldn't have beaten Purdue this year without him.  Seems like a good guy and teammate, hopefully he lands somewhere where he can be successful.

Race is staying put!  It'll be Year 6 in Bloomington. He'll have a doctorate by the time he leaves!

I will not hate or boo Rob, but he would lose some of the Hoosier "status" he has built up within the program and with the fans, no doubt about that.  And I really don't see him getting more playing time at PU than he would have gotten here, nor is PU guaranteed to be "great" or anything. So if he goes there it's more about "going home" which would be odd to me, but whatever, things are not like they used to be so I wouldn't be shocked, just disappointed. It's not like all of a sudden he's going to be great. Al and Armaan didn't just start lighting it up after they left. Rob's biggest problem is he can't stay healthy. If he could stay healthy he could have a better year. But he's not going to shoot 40% from three, score 15 pts a game or lead a team to the final four. If he had that ability, he would have shown that at IU at some point. He's shown he can have stretches of decent offense (manly driving to the basket) while playing solid defense, but unless one of these team is offering him 30 minutes a game (and he can stay healthy) I can't imagine we'd see much difference. Very few players switch teams and just become way better merely because of a change of scenario.

Not the only one, no. Based on what Chris posted the other day it sounds like the only remaining intrigue is where you’d expect, on TJD, Race, and JG. As you’d expect, there’s contingency there (and of course beyond that, in what IU does in the portal and/or with remaining ‘22s).

There will be years with more turbulence, but it speaks to CMW and staff’s vision, relationships/relatability, and communication with their team.
