Seeking6 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 If TJD leaves he's got a strong chance to get big minutes asap. If TJD stays....he got a free trip to Bloomington and will go elsewhere. Nothing wrong with staff or player doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TJD stays he still gets major minutes at the 5 and sharpens his skills everyday in practice against an All-American. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between2Halls Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I’m putting in a crystal ball pick for IU. Based solely on a gut feeling. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephul Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I've never seen him play. But I'm curious if the staff is pushing playing him at the 3. Either way, if you've got Trayce, Thompson, Reneau, and Geronimo, you've got 4 guys that can play pretty aggressively at the 4 and 5.

Very rare....although happens occasionally that a 5 star comes in to a program to practice. I know there are examples recently at Carolina, happens at UK every year....but we aren't that yet. Hope so for sure but he's coming to IU only if TJD isn't coming back. Just my feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him on tv recently; very good rebounder and knows how to score inside. IU could use that as I’ve seen too many missed shots up close. Plus can’t hurt on Evans next year if two teammates are already here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iuprof Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Glad its this weekend. Coach and the team can focus on him solely. Next week is Little 500, so this weekend works better. It would be great if JHS tagged along for the visit. I think if he wants to commit, we will make room for him somehow. Man the lineups this year with him would be stacked, and next year WOW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if JHS tagged along for the visit. He is in Chicago on Friday night for the Jordan classic, so he can just come on down for Saturday. I wonder if Reneau is playing in the Jordan Classic or is it only for Seniors? Regardless, only a short drive to come on down for the weekend. I am sure we could send a car for him.

My guess is they visit together, or at very least sets up nicely for them to do so with both playing in Chicago last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reneau is playing in it and is a Senior. The junior considering IU from Montverde is KJ Evans Jr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay edwards brother Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 According to Paul Biancardi he is in Bloomington today and tomorrow along with JHS and the Montverde coach. Also visiting Maryland and Virginia. Obviously would be a huge addition. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 This guy and Hood-Schifino seem to lack the elite athleticism that would quickly get them to the league, so they are either going to be very good 3-4 year players, or, if they do make it to the league sooner than that, it will because they are great college players, not merely good players with potential. TJD probably fits in that category as well, and it's exactly the kind of guy we should be after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not want to be at IU at all. I have no information. Perhaps he justs wants a fun hang with JHS this weekend. But don't mistake not starting for being a practice player. He could still earn significant game minutes as the back up to TJD, if we want to go big and play some high low action, or if we allow TJD some time to develop as a stretch four. Good coaches know how to put their best players on the floor. True a lot of high ranked players start as freshman, but Reneau isn't top ten talent. He is around the 30 mark, which is where Bates was, just for onr example. Without diving into the stats, I would imagine -- depending on the school they chose, like McGowens at Nebraska -- players ranked in that range have fewer starts than top ten ranked players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhunter Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Reneau could still be told he has a good chance of starting . Race could back him and TjD up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me the great college player that wins you games, but lacks some of the "potential" the NBA wants but doesn't really benefit their current college team. Good athlete and skill over elite athleticism. Ideally you have a good combination of both, but I'll take the TJD/Bacot/Gillespie/Tshiebwe types over the uber athletes that haven't learned the game yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Miami’s board thinks they are focusing on transfers a lot more than on Reneau. But it’s pure speculation on their part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
