I figured the video was just the MSU game

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

I hope him and Bates the best.

 

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?

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.

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.

FWIW, I kinda feel bad for Galloway. His running buddies on the team have been Trayce, Miller, and Jordan (and Anthony). The guy is losing his guys!

Another way of looking at this?

We’re losing three out of state kids and so far our one pickup is a great kid from Winchester, Indiana who always dreamed of playing for IU.

[Brass Cannon 24,083]

So far we haven’t lost anybody to the portal that I think really showed anything to indicate they were going to help us next year.  Hopefully this mass changeover allows Woodson to run the offense the way he wants to 

[Scotty R 2,051]

Hopefully we are done with Ayers transferring out and the only thing left is JHS announcing he is entering the draft.

Same thing happened to Sheehey after Vic, Christian, Cody and Jordy all left. Poor Will looked lost that next season when he was left to tend to all the yougins.

Good luck Jordan. Work on your handles and your shot; you have the athletic ability to keep playing. Reminds me of Dominique Wilkins and he had a long NBA career. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,635]

I wish Jordan the best. Sucks it just didn't work out here. I can actually see him doing well at a place like Providence. 

[Alford Bailey 12,295]

Right on pace with who most of us thought would transfer based on the second half of the season. Neither we’re gonna be difference makers so time to up grade and let these guys try to find a spot where they can contribute.

My favorite players tend to be PG’s. I never got to watch Zeke play for IU, so Yogi is my favorite IU player of all time. Guyton is a close 2nd. Yogi Ferrell was criminally under appreciated by our fan base. 

Not to stir $hit, but as an older fan, I thought Yogi was the second coming of Damon Bailey according to the fanbase.

No stirring of **** here. I just didn’t see it that way. He was hyped coming in but fans bashed him quite a lot, which I didn’t think he deserved. Was a special PG. Havent had anything close to him since.

I know you’re just clowning and you like JG, but I’d go with his excellent game @Illinois (starter, 13 and 8), or v Wisc (starter, 12 and 11), really kind of unfortunate he was immediately relegated to the bench just bc Race came back, and was then injured.

I get the Indiana sentiment, but only to an extent. We don’t need to be Indiana centric, that’s just limiting. Give me the best, explosive, lengthy, quick 2-way players, they can be Canadien for all I care :)
