Money is going to be flying around and the NCAA is not going to know how to get control of it once this cat is out of the bag To be fair, the NCAA didn't know how to keep control even before this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in talent is somewhat neutralized by having experienced players who have been in the same system for a few years. This new system could reduce or even eliminate that advantage for the mids. I don't see it being all bad for the Mids. They could end up getting some high rated freshman since the P5s won't have scholarships with the portal moves. And then you have experienced P5 players stepping down that can help. Mo Creek comes to mind. Go Hoosiers!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue if they would be interested but given what Miami did with Moore...and proximity to his home of Puerto Rico I would think Miami might be a very appealing option for both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is best at napalming any type of offensive structure the coach tries to employ. Will single-handedly contribute to 3-4 losses for any team he plays for.

I didn't see the tweet but my guess is Underwood....like many veteran coaches....basically die with their experienced guys and just get to a point where they say hey kid I'm gonna get fired if I keep believing in you. Curbelo had his chances and he will again. Call this one a good divorce from both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Curbelo had a negative Offensive Win Share value for the season. That is very, very hard to do for someone playing decent minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes someplace where they just give him the keys without any accountability, yeah, I can see that...and that's what I'm afraid of for the kid... If he'd listen to a coach that wants him to mature his game, I think he can have a productive career...but he can't be stubborn about it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Let's say some how TJD and Trace comes back but JG leaves. That would give us two openings do what should we look at in the portal or a recruit. I still think we need an elite shooter from a wing.

At this point, I think we look to the portal unless it’s a freshman who can make an immediate impact. And yes, I agree on the wing shooter. I think that is where we should be looking to take RP’s scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the inference that if Race and TJD come back JG leaves because he doesn't want to be on the bench behind Race? - Has JG hinted at this? Is it "Starter or Bust"? - Is there certainty that Race will start in front of him, should they both return? JG could develop in such a way that he's the lead 4? Or maybe he becomes the starting 3. He has a nice stroke and his trajectory as a good shooter is trending upward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
