The more I read about Myles the more I love this kid! If what the current team has been saying about him comes to fruition when the season finally begins, we may be in for a special season at IU. It’s been a long time coming. The only question will be how will Coach Woodson use/coach his new toys this year? Having a true vocal and extremely productive point guard since Yogi is going to be so refreshing, especially with all the tools around him at his disposal….

I wonder why now after all this time?  Was the timing due to Knight passing?

I'm hoping the Bank of Indianapolis gets them, the generic ones last year sucked.

It might have been said, but the regular season tips off 3 weeks from tonight. IUFB being good has really caused basketball season to sneak up on me this year. A welcome surprise.

10 days til our first look in the charity game vs Tennessee.

Maybe this was stated somewhere BUT seems as if there are conflicting responses when it comes to Newton.  Newton has said (maybe I read wrong) that he is good to go, however, the staff is being overly cautious with him given his surgery and a setback that occurred. 

 

Is there real optimism that Newton plays this season?  or no?

He's been practicing and we've seen footage of him bursting up court, Woodson has commented on how athletic and above-the-rim he plays, but that they're limiting his time to slow walk him back so he's fully healthy. Those signs are good

fantastic.  really hoping to see him get some run this season.  If he can get some run, stay healthy, he could make a huge splash next year(2025-2026)

Can anyone here elaborate with the exact injury and reasoning for his delayed return? Maybe it's not a delayed return due to the severity of the injury I don't know. Is it normal to be out for 14+ months?

I couldn't tell if his Hoosier Hysteria "entrance" was evidence of an injury or evidence of Swagger.
