Armaan is participating and Race is not? Just for clarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Johnson would want to go to a place where he definitely would start. Well he is a point guard and Franklin is a 2. I'm not sure I see the issue. A starting backcourt of Johnson, Franklin, and Stewart would be formidable. All three can make plays for others, all three can shoot at least a bit, all three can get to the rim and finish. I'm not saying those three are as good as Baylor's guards, but that would be one of the best backcourts in the B1G with TJD being probably the best returning player in the conference in the front court. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin - what is the bet here and when do we hear? Thompson - see above? Brunk - anyone claim to know for sure? will there be an announcement? Johnson - odds? when? Brooks - is there any fire here or just smoke? Anyone else in the rumor mill? Don't we know for sure on Brunk? He already announced he was playing another year; if he hasn't gone in the portal and hasn't said he is changing his plans, shouldn't we assume they're the same as his last announcement he made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt Race was the top candidate to leave just based on TJD returning and the style Woodson wants to play. To put a combo of TJD, Armaan, Stewart, potentially Brooks too would be a pretty good lineup. Add Johnson or Lander as PG and look out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJD said this at his presser.... "I also believe Joey being healthy, it will give our team a much better dynamic just because he’s so big and a really good post player. It allows me to be able to go out and handle the ball and do things of that nature.” So I think Joey coming back is close to a sure thing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Man if we could get Xavier that would help with Franklin leaving should he choose to do so. If we get Brooks along with Xavier I think this is still a big win. If we get two of the three that would be HUGE. Next season should be fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say if Race does leave he will probably go to the Gophers. I think that would be a good place for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched 0 seconds of Brooks play so i have no clue. I do know that Hunter has the ability to take his defender in the post as well as be one of our better shooters outside (not a real high bar, i know). Does Brooks have that same or similar skill set?

bluegrassIU Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 If Armaan stays, Xavier comes over, add in Parker, Lander, Rob.... We suddenly become a guard oriented team that succeeds in today's game. Add the best big in the conference and we have something worth watching. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant say for certain because I did not watch much, I will say that I think he is an immediate upgrade defensively. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labeck81 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Assuming Race goes (or even if he stays), we need to find a 4 man who can shoot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Parker to the lineup along with Johnson, who shoots better than Lander or Rob, then the 3 point shooting is improved. I'd trade Brooks' defensive ability to switch and guard multiple positions.

We need more than just a 4 who can shoot. We need several players at all positions who can put the ball through the baskets. As mentioned many many time under the CAM tenure, he can't shoot the ball for them. And they had allot of open and point blank looks that didn't go in, for 4 years. So we need some upgraded shooters or a huge leap in our current rosters shooting percentage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my own opinion. Totally makes sense. My only fear would be that we end up with Smith, who admitidly had a hell of a year, 2.0 and teams will be daring him to shoot while clogging the lane and helping off to actual shooters. It's guna be interesting at the very least to see how all this plays out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really, really solid start. Did Parker play last year in the B1G and shoot 35%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have been able to provide some insight in the past, or at least good educated guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
