NotIThatLives Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-names-to-know-2022-center-jeremy-foumena/ Guess this is pretty telling on Race and Trayce not coming back. Also scholarship numbers must not be an issue. Don't think there will be much running it back next year. That roster will be as good as anyone's guess.

slojoe Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 He's very active on offense and defense. I'm unsure what the level of the competition was. But he is worth looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Top prep team in Canada. Scored 22 points against IMG #1 team in America. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btownstrength Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hope we can land this kid. He seems like a big with solid perimeter skills but mixes it up in the post quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 The little turn around jumper early in the video was his most impressive move. Athletic, needs to work on footwork and upper body strength but has the frame to do that. Go get him coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'm trying to see what I'm missing here? Size, length, width, and big numbers vs good competition? Maybe he's just a casualty of the last 1-2 recruiting cycles being disrupted by Covid but sign me up for this kid. Interchangeable parts between him and LD and maybe a transfer? Should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he picked up basketball a little later too. Said he didn’t start playing until he was to the states at like age 10. Probably a late bloomer.

KoB2011 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I like it. We don’t need to replicate the offense we get from TJD and Race next year as we will probably have a lot more firepower 1-3, but getting their level of toughness, defense, and rebounding would be huge.

At some point we have to move on from the existing roster. Some of these guys have been at IU/in school for a LONG time. IU needs new and more talented players. For me, that means shooters and playmakers. The Race and Trayce show has had its moments, but it's time to let them go.

I could think of 7 or 8 i would let go before these 2. Not JMHO....Facts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever facts you're referring to won't change my opinion. Thanks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJD is one of 20 players in the country on the Wooden Award watch-list, if that doesn't qualify him as good, rather than "good", then you have quite the definition of the word. Also, he is in his 3rd year at IU, not 4th. And, Race is in his 5th year at IU, not 4th. If Race and Trace move on, we have to replace them with somebody. Who's that going to be? This Foumena kid that no one had heard of a week ago is going to be better than a top 20 player in the country? Better than a 6th year senior coming off a better than 11 and 7 year? Very unlikely. If we lose both Race and Trace, we're going to be scrambling for big men. In the era of transfers, we might get lucky, but that's a tough thing to count on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
