Hoosierfan1901 Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Time to sell Jordan at the 3, time to heavily watch what he does now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'm just going to add this as well. JG could easily enter into the 3 role....or maybe do the 4. If JG decides to look elsewhere I'll wish him the best but whatever happens is this. Race Thompson is a good basketball player. I like having good basketball players on my team. It's up to Coach to figure out how to use him JG, Bates,etc...and if TJD does stay in the draft I could see Race at 5, JG at basically what Race did for us last year and Bates at 3 competing for minutes with others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 With Race coming back is that an indication that TJD will be back as well. If that happens it will be interesting to see if we see JG name in the portal soon, hope not 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Just my 2 cents, but now that Race is back I’d prefer to see something along the lines of: C:TJD, Race, Duncomb PF: Geronimo, Banks SF: Galloway, Kopp SG: Bates, Leal, Gunn PG: X, JHS Love me some Race but I can’t see us doing much better having him and TJD play together for 30+ minutes.

bluegrassIU Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 He has to be one of the strongest guys in the nation next year. He is a bull. Happy to have the big man battling for us another year. 💪 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting spots should be earned and that’s not to say Race couldn’t or won’t earn a spot but if someone jumps him they should play more.

Seeking6 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Great things about message boards is nobody is absolutely wrong or right. What I'm excited about is Coach Woodson getting his first true off season to work with the guys. Last year was a whirlwind. This year he's got his feet grounded and can just develop. Race, TG, TB, JG....time to go earn those minutes. Can't wait to see who out of these 4 develops their shot and earns court time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think RMK knew pretty much on the off season who would be starting, especially with his better teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the completely different offense with Race at the 5. We could have 5 players with the ability to bring the ball up the court. Not sure but I feel like we might be entering a more free flowing offense with the potential to score in the 80s each game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but you’re missing a key point in my comment- Race earned it this year, NOT next year. next years time is not this years team and it should be treated as such. The only thing these kids should be promised is an opportunity. I would understand and respect if kids transferred in droves from this program if they knew the coaching staff wasn’t even giving them the them a fair shot during the off-season. Not to mention, not gonna land the KJ Evans’ of the world by giving them the impression that no player can come in and make an immediate impact.
