For the love of all things, We need to keep Reneau.  So, so much potential.  I think he was underused at the end of this season when he finally started to settle down.  

I think he's for sure back

I think we will pay transfer portal guys, I'm just saying what I'm hearing about bench guys coming back is crazy high

I find this super interesting considering what we thought the bench was going to be and what it ended up being.

Bates?

Can't help but think he's who you're alluding to.

Good cause for the first time ever in my Fandom I want as many guys transferring as we can get. I hope this doesn't sound rude but I think we need a huge talent shakeup to be able to compete next season. Time to gamble and hopefully get some new talent

Those greedy bench sitters . Lol . Well they do have a Lil bargaining power . But it works both ways . PORTAL shopping is the new black .

The bench guys who scored zero points last night?   Best of luck to them.

If what's being said is true I think we will see a different style next season. I think the coaches want 4 guys on the court at all times who can take someone off the dribble. We'll see. It's going to be a different team for sure. I think the asking price by some of the players will be too high and IU will tell them to hit the road.

Hopefully we will become serious about how we approach winning with the current landscape of college basketball and don't make excuses why we can't get there. I hope we see action and not talk.

Yeah not sure why they think they have the bargaining power after going scoreless last night and missing every shot they took for the last month it seems

I'd add Banks and Gunn, I'd like to see if they can make a jump.

Yeah, not sure any of the bench guys should be asking for anything.  Sad what college B-ball has become.

Yep, the bench was awful the last half of the season. Little to no production off the bench was the norm.

Any word on when Woody will sit down with the current players? Not sure if that normally happens the following week of the season ending.

If there is anyone who's role is carved out already, it's him (Reneau).  You can see exactly where he fits.

Anthony Leal was able to easily afford to pay off his sisters student loans and he was roster player #13.  I'm not worried about IU having the NIL to bring players in.  Just need the right pieces.

[HoosierHoopster 6,027]

Probably not a popular opinion, but I believe the staff needs to do a better job developing the "bench," if it wants the bench / younger or less-experienced players to be productive (it should). The what-I-see-as-extreme over-use of certain veteran players - experience, over frosh or more raw players who bring athleticism and raw talent that needs in-game development, holds us back. Miami is a hyper athletic, attacking team, it itself is an extreme example, but that's the kind of team we struggled with, and rolling out the same players and minutes while guys sit on the bench and don't develop is a crutch. 

Yes, we need talent from the portal. But we also need better player development. (TJD developed beautifully, but that was never a question. Gallo developed a nice outside shot, but it was there to develop last season.) Crean, for another extreme example, wasn't a strong x's and o's coach (captain obvious again), but he developed multiple players well. That's one part of improving a team. Imo, it needs improvement under this staff.

I'm worried they won't pony up on the big get . The one that makes a difference . Not portal but sisley better have a better than 250000  nil coming in and Harrelson you sell the freaking farm.  Adapt or die

That is on the assistant staff more than anyone IMO.
