Transfer Portal w IU Interest

Put me in the camp of no to Leal. Move on. 3 Senior nights? Gimme a break. This is an older team DeVries has coming in…I assure you we don’t need any “leadership” from Anthony Leal…of which he would provide little to none. Would be a mistake inviting him back.

Imagine going through Senior Night twice and still trying to get a waiver to keep playing. 

 

Won't be a popular opinion, but I hope it gets denied. Not interested in players who blame fans and can't handle criticism. 

It’s not an unpopular opinion. Many feel the same way you do.

It has to be the most popular opinion.

I’d agree.  It’s time. To. Move. On. He’s synonymous with a losing era that had little to no accountability or appeal.

actually should say 2 eras because Leal played for Archie too. Another failed era.

And arrogance without achievement

NIL money must be so sweet. Otherwise how is he gonna earn that much money fresh out of college? Or is this what coach D wants?

I'll be the first to admit this is an unlikely scenario, but getting a waiver - if one is approved - doesn't automatically mean he plays another season at IU.

It’s the plan.  It’s what the school is planning for.  They believe it will happen.

I don't get it with this roster. Not a position of need. If Leal plays much then the guys we brought in aren't what we hope. If he doesn't, what's the point? I could get on board with Goode OR Leal, but both? With the lack of size, this is a puzzling move to me. 

I like Leal and Goode. I think both are +s to a roster but like you I want a C.  Apparently staff and DeVries don’t feel that way.  I disagree but I’ve had several issues with the roster.  

[ronzo4IU]

I would really like to add a Sorber or Curtis type and Goode….then call it a day.

[LamarCheeks]

An example of the dysfunction that has been IU basketball recently ...

If Leal does get a waiver for next season, he will have played for three different head coaches -- and all were full-time, "permanent" coaches. None was an interim.

Here’s what he brings:

Leadership

Maturity

Connections to the state, the town, the boosters, the athletic department, the student population, and the league.

Finally? He brings good defense with low turnovers if he plays some.

We’d get a high level wing defender and, if coach actually runs some plays for him, someone who was a proven shooter prior to getting to IU and get “coached up”.

Don’t get your hopes up.  It’s not the plan.

Do you know what the plan is for the non Goode spot?

I thought it was said KJ may have an in with Sorber if he doesn’t go to the draft?
