BUT I'm honestly not sure if we get TJD without Romeo, yes I know they weren't ever going to play together, but... TJD really looks up to Romeo. Romeo made it "cool" again for instate kid to go to IU. Very possible..I know he had a lot of pressure from family to look at other schools (MSU) but I agree Romeo going to IU I think settled the worries of trusting an unproven Archie.

Well, anything longer is also contingent upon Archie. Romeo will be a good boost for 2-3 seasons, and TJD adds to that momentum. But, Archie needs to keep relationships around the state up and produce on the court for it to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_AK Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I wonder if we may be “under-hyping” Trayce? Given the results of the season to be forgotten, and the so-called disappointing season Romeo had, not to mention losing 12 of 13, there doesn’t seem to be that much of a buzz around him, and he played with a chip on his shoulder this weekend. I realize we are all cautiously optimistic, but this was a Mr Basketball from the Hoosier State making it clear to everyone how bad he wanted to beat the folks across the river. And for the most part, he backed it up. I think we should be a little more excited to have him, and hope he has that edge moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very excited that he’s a Hoosier “I think everybody plays off of Trayce when he plays the way he’s capable of playing,” Indiana coach Criss Byers of Warren Central said. “He had played that way Monday and Tuesday in practice and I texted Archie (Miller) and Tom (Ostrom) told them how active he was, how athletic he was and what a great job he had been doing for us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I think it was his sophomore year, but I remember posting how impressed I was with Trayce’s ability to score around the basket. He was maybe 6’8 then and not ranked anywhere near where he ended up. I predicted his ranking could literally be top 25 which was much higher from where he was. From the video I saw, I noticed that he held the ball consistently high which was a good sign for his age. A lot of younger players bring the ball lower where smaller guys can defend you or even get it away from you. He reminded me of Raef Lafrentz in these respects. Anyway, not saying it to brag as many of us had it, but I believe I had that one right as he ended up being ranked a lot higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 admittedly i didn't watch much of the McD's game, but he didn't look impressive with those guys did he? i thought he looked a little out of sorts from what i saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tough to tell in an all star game. I actually thought he looked longer and more agile around the rim than what I was expecting. He also ran the court well. It was my first time to watch him play outside of videos. Reminded me of some of the agile bigs UNC has had over the last 15 years. (Seems like they're all named Johnson!)

He was actually strong in limited minutes. As I recall, he played the fewest minutes, but was very productive when he hit the floor and had a big two-handed dunk.

BobSaccamanno Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 He was also news to me, thanks for the links. I looked him up and found that TDH did a story on him too. 6’4 as a freshman. You figure he might have a couple of more inches in him and end up a wing forward https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indiana-basketball-recruiting-names-to-know-tayven-jackson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, kid is 6'4" as a sophomore. He's obviously got some genetics for height, given that he's well above the average at 15-ish. The rate at which kids grow around that age is rapid and random.

Sure he was, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
