If Bates and Geronimo are indeed transferring -- and I don't dispute that they are -- what's the holdup? 

Seems to me the quicker you get in the portal, the more time you have to get re-recruited and find what you're looking for. 

Unless you already know what that is, I suppose. 

You’re at the mercy of compliance staff on when you’re actually added to the portal. If their postseason meeting with Woody has happened and they submitted their name, it may not have been processed yet. Or they haven’t met with Woody yet. 
 

(or they aren’t entering!)

Or they're still processing the feedback from the meeting and are weighing their options.

Geronimo possibly had the worst hands I have ever seen for a bball player. Just could not catch.

Worse than Perea?

That Adam Howard tweet is definitely a tell. Excited to know what he knows.

I think so, now I watched him, maybe the last time he played where he was having trouble. Then there was a perfect pass to him, hit him in the hands, he did not catch it, then hit him in chest, still didn't stop, rebounded hit him in hands again, missed it then about double dribbled trying to corral it. I had it and was yelling at tv at that point.

Who happened to be the 17th pick in the '85 NBA Draft.

[AKHoosier]

Add me to the list intrigued by Adam Howard's post.

I can't help but see it as nothing more than a staff member expressing optimism about the future of IU basketball, but I choose to be excited there's something more.

He was a badass as an upperclassman.

All big ten

He was All-Region out of the East in the '84 NCAAT.

I mean Smith would have still been out of the wing, but maybe Woody could have gotten him into better spots than Archie did.

Smith was way more athletic. I think both played 50% most of the time especially on defense. Shooting for both equally bad lol

Haven’t seen a sky hook since and Kent Benson before.Some of those IU teams were very challenged athletically but had the General carving teams up.

Do we need to re-name this the “Uwe Blab Hands” thread?     :)

[Crimson and Cream]

All I've learned from this thread is IU has had a lot of players who have bad hands. Can we just start leaving a note of traits to avoid for all future IUBB coaches?

Lately it was his sinuses.

Heard that others have slow feet.

And/or low motor.

Ah, yes, some have no brain, no heart or no courage.  Maybe the Wizard could help. He helped UCLA years ago.

He was definitely a financial wizard.

Pretty good at family planning too I've heard.

This GD word "POTENTIAL"!  We have been winning the offseasons for how many years now because of that word?!  I hate going off of rankings because of the predetermined notions of what a player is or should be.  JG and TB have shown time and time again to not belong on the big stage.  Actually, LD should be pissed, because almost everybody wrote him off. He never had any real run, but was just assumed he sucks!

You think the coaches just assumed that LD sucks and that's why he didn't get much PT? You don't think they evaluated how he preformed in practice and the bit of PT he actually got?

IU fans might assume he sucks because he didn't get much PT, even on a couple of teams that didn't have a lot of depth. When he did get into games he didn't do much.
