I think what I saw is - the argument would be, COVID Year is free + another year that he only played 11 games with very little minutes and had injuries. Would try to get that year back. 

Someone correct me if I am wrong. 

That’s the basis yes.

I’ve seen so many theories on who SDB is haha I’ve never suspected Race but would love to hear your rationale, I’ve been convinced it’s X for awhile

Sprained ankle almost immediately after checking into game vs Miami OH at Gainbridge. Only remember because I was there.

Guys, this is all a moot point.  Danny Hurley is going to take the newly open Spurs job, and then Mullins decommits and he takes the spot currently open for Leal.  (I could see Brad Stevens jump back into coaching for the Spurs).

Disregard, we are back on Leal Watch.

We are done in the transfer portal.  

Do you know this for a fact IUGRAD or are you speculating?

Any Leo Curtis news? I get the fit isn’t perfect this year but seems like a good pair with Sisley next year,

Where's the beef?

I personally can't wait for the third senior night speech from Leal.  Might be an NCAA record.

I want anything that will make Indiana basketball better to happen. End of discussion.

May have been mentioned but earlier in the week some precedence for Goode getting another year:

 

 

Justice Ajogbor played in six games at the end of Harvard’s 2021-22 season.  Those were the only six games he played that year. He requested a waiver in connection with that season and it was approved despite him playing in the back half.

Ajogbor doesn’t seem to have any other unique circumstances related to his request.  He played in 28, 20 and 35 games the next three seasons.

Torvik projection:  without Harris on the roster (a glitch in the program, have him removed from the transfer portal but not on IU's roster), IU's roster is currently ranked 38th.

Add Goode and Leal (but not Harris since the system won't put him in), and IU climbs to 24th.

Simply put, the roster rankings from 20-40 are really close.

If the guards get the ball into the offense early and we have a halfway decent defense, then this will be a fun year.

Wondering about the non-P5 players and shooters and that translating into competing for the top of the B1G.  Reflecting on some guard imports last season from the left coast.

Not knowing, yet, what to make of CDD and his staff and almost all of the players all being new to each other and to him causes me pause...and lots of hope for the future.  Yeah, we all know these new players are all smart IQ ballers that are gym rats and hungry to practice and perform well.  And we know that CDD is experienced and successful building a competitive team in other places.  Right?  (Winning the offseason is where we have been for years.)

We all live in interesting times.  (Heard that could be taken as a curse.)

Given the variability in the off-season it seems like the range of potential outcomes this year is pretty broad with the median outcome being somewhere around where the projections like Torvik have us.
