What'd he do besides go into a bar 2 weeks before his 21st birthday? 

He was really good as a SO+JR. Our teams struggled some. He was my favorite from the word go.  

He was a good player individually his sophomore and junior seasons. There was the bar incident which was minor, but he was also one of the leaders of two teams that were absolute messes off the court. All I’m saying is that he is a player who had a massive perception change with his great senior season. If he had left IU after his junior season he would be remembered much differently.

Some would have, probably, yes. I wouldn't have. No worries though. 

And thank you. I didn't think there was anything else of substance that he had done wrong.

I hope him and Bates the best.

Wish Jordan nothing but the best wherever he lands.

Jordan had some great on court moments, and always represented Indiana in a classy, energetic way.

I hope he harnesses that athleticism and rocks it wherever he ends up.

In today's portal era, if I were coaching I would be less inclined to use the redshirt.  Ties up your scholy longer for players that may or may not stick around for 4-5 years.

Will be rooting for them wherever they go…..as long as it isn’t in the Big Ten, or any of the the blue bloods. :)

Does Love help the team or just shoot but not necessarily well?

I figured the video was just the MSU game

Penn State game at Penn State would've been my guess.

I know these transfers had to happen, but doens't mean I like it.  We are loosing guys who showed some loyalty when there was nothing to be loyal to.  They're "our guys" as frustrating as they played sometimes.  We fill the spots with mercinaries.  I guess thats the new world in college basketball.  Free agency "ruined" the pros.  Sigh.

So will Jordan Geronimo's highlight tape be from last year's Wyoming game?

Right. It makes more sense to recruit without offering a scholarship to build a relationship in case a player like that goes to a smaller school and proves they can play then transfers. Then they would already have that established relationship.
