I don't project an 8 man rotation so one of Galloway, Leal and Geronimo is going to get some serious playing time - likely two of them (as injuries are inevitable). Let's hope Galloway's shooting woes are truly just a result of his wrist injury and that injury is fully healed. If Galloway can become a 40% 3 point shooter - he is going to be excellent at IU. All three. Galloway, Leal, and Geronimo are in B-town as of today. June 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into both Leal and Geronimo today on campus, rounded a corner and boom there they were...both seemed really tall to me but Im 5'10" so all players look tall i guess..😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that. Pretty impressive on Wright's part to sell the redshirt to 4* Bridges and DiVincenzo, but Spellman's inclusion while factual seems a bit misleading as he was forced into it. Delaney and Paschall were only 3* so probably an easier sell. Spellman was 5* and only redshirted due to academic reasons. He was a 5th year HS senior and still wasn't able to complete eligibility requirements according to: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/17618183/omari-spellman-villanova-wildcats-miss-2016-17-season-academic-redshirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made sense to sit him for a year. Lander is at a position of need, plus he doesn’t intend to be a four year kid, so he’ll play right away. Leal and Galloway aren’t ready to contribute, but I’m sure they’ll play a little. I think Galloway and Leal are going to shock a few people. Being locked in the house i've watched everything i could have and they changed my mind. They are both basketball players, not athletes that play basketball. They both can shoot, handle the ball, pass it and play defense. They do things the right way and will play more than a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 IU's main twitter account just posted a video of Jordan and Anthony's new room. Has to be Evolve building across from stadium. So glad to see IU step up for extras like this....looks really, really modern and nice. Everything in house from gym, pool, kitchens...hopefully someone can post.

My kids have classmates that have late/spring / early summer birthdays whose parents delayed their start of grade school and, as a result, are a full year older than other kids in the class. This is often done so the kid can exceed both academically and athletically. This is getting more and more common. My friend did it with all 3 of his kids. Mostly they didn't think their kids were mentally ready for school at 5 so they waited a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entire life will be reminded of course you should do better....your an entire year earlier. I was 14 months younger than a classmate. I was pushed early with summer bday and my friend was held back.

The students that redshirted or came in at the end of their birthday, most always did better. So we chose to redshirt our son. Thing he loved about that was in high school... he was the first of his classmates to get a driver's license. Made him popular with the young ladies.

Just saying (right or wrong) kids find out things and run with it. Part of the deal I guess. For me I'm an early July birthday. Glad my parents pushed to get me in school earlier....but I also understand why others don't. Oh well. Back to fresh new digs for IU players.

Apartments mostly. There's a rule with athletic dorms that require a certain number of normal students to live with athletes. This complex looks to be on the up and up while our good friends in Lexington used to get by those rules (Wildcat Lounge) by having 1-2 students (typically close friends of recruits) live in same building. I'm just glad we have this as an edge. Been to several campuses. Not many have this. It's not UK or Kansas but very, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Revisiting this: which Freshman outside of Lander will contribute. In listening to interviews and podcasts, it sounds like Galloway is going to challenge some guys for playing time. I have a feeling we’re going to like this kid. I hope he brings some grit to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense-first, college-ready body, uber (freak-level) athleticism, great work ethic, and developing offense. Kid has monster upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
