There was this group of photos that got released as well. I was able to pick out about every other player except Armaan.... Hiding from the camera? Completely possible. Not there but had a good excuse? Completely possible. He just seems to be one of two guys that is sending signals that they are out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lander is in another group shot of this meeting and Armaan is in that same picture but hidden by Brunk. Some other poster in a different thread found him. I don’t remember which one. Sorry.

Most schools I would say cool good luck unless you play IU. I have family in Michigan and they are fans of the Wolverines so they replace the Buckeyes lol.

The way you worded your post I thought I missed something known. I do know Lander has been in a few pics. So there is that. Not sure about Armaan.

I know someone pointed out some hair in one of the pictures they thought was Armaan. The two guys who most appear out the door to me are Franklin and Geronimo FWIW. I would like the team to stick together but I hope we don't wait too long. No hard feelings things changed here, if they want to go...go. Just don't take a bunch of time to do it if you are going to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlerHoosier Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I know this sound different but I hope Jordan stays. He reminds me of a more subdued less obnoxious Thomas Bryant in terms of energy. He had a fire in him that I didn't see in most other players. Not to mention his insane raw talent that I think CMW can turn into NBA level talent after another couple years. I hope he stays. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H00sier Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, IUCrazy2 said: Also, I think every player except Armaan has met personally with Woodson. Not this stupid ass Zoom meeting stuff, but actually face to face. Dude is from Indianapolis. You are like 1 hour away. Why couldn't you make any of those meetings that every other teammate seemed to be able to make. From what I can tell, Armaan has been the one guy who has always had something better to do then to come meet the new coach. (If there is a valid reason, like sick relative or whatever, I retract, but it just does not seem like he is giving much of a chance at the moment.) I like him as a player, I fully believe he has every right to go play ball wherever he wants, however, I don't think he is immune to criticism for how this has been going down from the outside looking in. I didn’t know that and hadn’t seen it posted either, that changes my outlook quite bit and shouldn’t have posted a previous message.

I would be really skeptical believing that type of post. Unless someone has a source that is really close to Woodson or Franklin saying that no such meeting has happened, the best reliable information you could have is that no meeting has been reported. No meeting being reported is a lot different than no meeting happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No meeting being reported is a lot different than no meeting happening. Yes, do not take my post as gospel. I am not there and am reacting to things I have read elsewhere. There were 2 guys early on that I heard had only had zoom meetings. That was early last week. I saw that photo set and clearly Lander was in those. He was right up front in one. Armaan was the other I had heard and I could not make him out in any of the photos. I was able to locate every other guy. So my thoughts were based off the early rumors and that photo group. But I have zero inside info personally. So everyone should come to their own conclusions, not base their thoughts on what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H00sier Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Either way, I hope he stays, if he doesn’t and goes to Illinois, MSU, or yikes Purdue- he will have wrote his own page in IU lore and not a positive one. Hope he stays, improved a ton sophomore year and could be all BiG next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 i want all of them back, but i think outside of TJD, Franklin, Thompson, and Lander, i wouldn't lose a ton of sleep about finding players who can fit any vacated spots. as long as TJD is back, i think we can survive one of those other 3 leaving and still be solid. if we lose 2 or 3 of these 4, it could be a very tough season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are unreal. Dragging Armaan and India because you can't see him in a picture? India handled his initial recruitment the exact same way. Individual meetings with all coaches, asking them to outline their plan for Armaan. Armaan did the same with each coach. Then they calibrated and came up with a decision. They have met with Woodson. I am not sure what follow up meetings have taken place. I know many of these players are giving Woodson time to get to know them before making a final decision, Armaan included. Woody knew almost none of these kids before Sunday and you want them all to pledge allegiance without getting a few questions answered? Many know what he did for NBA guys; now they want to know what his plan is for them. Not wrong to get those answers before making a such a big decision. 15 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I think priority 1 is retaining Armaan and 1b is Lander. I think Race is in a tough spot, which sucks because he may be my favorite player on the team. I think it’s safe to assume that Woody is not going to play two in the post. So this means Race is going to have to shoot from the outside more consistently and become a stretch 4, or his playing time is going to be drastically reduced. This will be especially true if TJD and Brunk come back and because we’ve retained Logan. I actually think Race’s decision may foretell what TJD is going to do. If Race leaves it’s possible there’s a greater chance TJD stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Very nervous for the mid major programs. In some cases teams that usually finish in bottom third of P5 conferences. Transferring without sitting has made them feeder programs. Because people want the kids to be treated the same as adults we've created a chaos and a system that will change hoops and recruiting forever. Coaching change transfers are fine. Life tragedy transfers fine. This though isn't going to work.
