btownqb Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 We shouldn't be asking all of our players back next year, regardless of which ones decide they want to move on. If the players want paid because the lack of NIL was SO unfair, then this whole thing should be treated much more like a business. Coaches should be able to do what they wish with their roster.

Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hmmm, guess it will be decided after the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly think Race is a guy that we would find a spot for if he wants to be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but the talk of NIL making a difference is probably mute. He can grad transfer to Minnesota and still take advantage of NIL. Might even be the #1 NIL option for the Gophers. They could get him and his dad to do something together. Edited March 1, 2022 by 5fouls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without question! Who do we currently have on the roster right now, including incoming freshmen, that can come close to beating Race out at his position? NO ONE! Race is a banger and is not afraid to mix it up with anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I will say this about race. He is one of my favorite IU players over the last 10 years or so. Maybe second only to Yogi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be stupid to grad transfer. If he isn't playing at Indiana next season he should be starting his career path or playing overseas. Outside of just being a true Gopher fan, I don't see any sort of reason he'd want to play somewhere else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear Race is going to get some pretty attractive offers. Hopefully Woody can convince him to stay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of just being a true Gopher fan, I don't see any sort of reason he'd want to play somewhere else. Stupid is not the word I would have used. I will never judge a player for wanting the opportunity to play for the team he grew up following. Would he be better off financially starting a pro career? Absolutely. But, I doubt his family situation would suffer significantly if he put that off for a year. Counting his redshirt year, he's already given 5 to IU. I would hold no ill will towards him at all if he chose to transfer back home. Now, if he chose a different Big Ten school, yeah that would bother me a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Seems like height matchups tomorrow are pretty even, RU starts all 5 6’5+. While we only have XJ being 6’3 and rest being tall enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Whether Trayce stays or goes could ultimately have a bearing in Race's decision. But, I'm not sure he'll have the luxury to wait around to see if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't have any ill will towards him at all either way. I don't think he owes us anything. I think it's absolutely a stupid decision to go play somewhere else, though, in college. Outside of just going to Duke and being their 6th man? "judge" is a word used entirely too loosely. I can have my opinion, but I also would never want RT to listen to me lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes him the primary inside scoring threat and opens the offense up. I honestly think Race has a brighter future in the pros than Trayce does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think from a team standpoint, we might be best off with just one of them back and playing more 4 out on offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or they simply both don't start, which probably isn't going to happen. I agree with you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely appears that Rob has thoughts of coming back, which makes me happy. Would be nice if we could avoid losing both Race and TJD next year. If Trayce were to leave, Race would be a nice guy to still have in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
