I know absolutely nothing, but curious if Kopp would be Creaned? Also - highly doubtful, but would Leal consider a place like Ball State where he’d actually play? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for late summer. Remember when the Anthony Leal looking like Wolverine picture came out? Turns out he still looks 17 in person.

What I read is a kid who has played against high level competition for minutes the last couple years, been a part of title winning teams....and has no problem with whatever his role his. He's there to win. One other thing I read was high IQ. Ability to retain and react quickly in many different sets. okay, but honestly, what do we expect him to ay in public? he can't really say, i expect to start day one because i am a 5 star recruit and IU hasn't been very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the thing that pushes Race to the bench, too. I think MR is much more likely to push out Race than JG is because as mentioned… footwork, skill, and hands.

If starting and playing time were most important to him, he would have just followed Mike White to GA.

I think he is willing to move on from a few guys if it means we are winning conferences and making deep runs. Not saying I think TJD is for sure back, but I think coach is trying to upgrade us at the wing regardless of that.

If he wanted to let some go like Logan (lowest guy on the totem pole) in the name of winning, he would’ve done it much earlier. It’s just unethical to release a kid from their scholarship right before the transfer portal closes. ….I guess we’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t want either he or Kopp to leave. I could see Kopp getting Creaned and Leal, IF he actually wanted to play, leaving on his own merit. He’s going to consistently get recruited over. We all love these kids - but Coach Woodson wants a banner and if it means improving his roster, he’ll do it when/where he can. It’s the nature of this.

What I am saying is Leal will be a Hoosier no matter what! He may not get the minutes he would like, but as long as he’s helping IU get better, wearing those beautiful candy stripes and earning the respect of Coach Woodson, it’s a wrap! He bleeds cream and crimson……There’s not too many of those types of player around anymore!🤩 Edited April 18, 2022 by Artesian_86 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has already said if I come back and we are out of scholarships I will pay it maybe somebody else has already agreed. It is really not important because I’m sure the staff has a plan and it will all work k out fine. We need to keep upgrading talent. That is what UK Duke MSU Kansas and all the other top programs do. They are continually looking to upgrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big NIL deals will continue to change the college athletic landscape in ways we've yet to imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Steubenhoosier Posted April 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I am super excited that Malik committed. I fully believe that this recruiting class is the beginning of IU returning to prominence. I view Malik and JHA as the linchpins of this momentum. All that said. I am not going to disrespect any players currently on the roster by suggesting that they are or should be gone. These guys have put their hearts into getting the program back to the tournament, back to respectability. Every player on the roster committed to being a Hoosier for multiple years, and many of them recommitted to CMW when they easily could have gone elsewhere. I am never going to overlook loyalty. Never going to overlook commitment. I get it that college athletics is becoming more like professional sports, and it’s survival of the fittest. Leaving it to the coaches to figure this out, but I don’t want to see players being “escorted out.” 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he wanted to start an almost cult level following from day one, he should say; "Malik Reneau is here to win whether starting or coming off the bench"!
