Maybe we can help him get a Brooks Ketchup NIL deal and he can pay his way here as a walk on đ. Otherwise, heâs not some first team all American talent youâd be dumb to not try and add to your roster. His skill set isnt really filling in any gaps we need.

-
Not sure, itâs really unclear. There were definitely fans vocalizing disinterest in him joining but I know his last like on his Twitter feed was an IU fan telling him to pin Bloomington as his destination cuz thatâs his next stop.
-
Also just saw Jeff Goodman report Wichita State started an NIL collective and resulted in a player staying, so maybe heâs backing off his top 5 and reconsidering his options? Apparently TCU and Texas A&M reached out recently too. Frankly Iâd be ok if this dragged out and we got word on TJDâs situation first.
-
Apologies if itâs been mentioned but anyone else notice Dexter Dennis locked his Twitter and Insta account? Weird considering he was gonna announce a top 5 days ago
-
Anyone else getting a little worried TJD is staying in the draft? A lot of people feel Dennis is coming which would mean we have no available scholarships. Only 6 days for someone to decide to transfer or sit a whole year⌠Selfishly want him to come back but also objectively donât get leaving college. Heâs not going to be a first round pick, could make a lot of $ being the face of the most anticipated IU squad since since maybe the 2012/2016 teams, and has a legit team to contend for a conference title and maybe a national title. Seems a little odd to walk away once IU is finally in a good place

Thatâs X next to him. Not sure if heâs there at the Woodyâs request or volunteered to step away from the Little 5 madness.
-
Wasnât sure where to post this but couldnât help but noticing this in the background of one of the photos from the AAU games. Nice to see our players and staff getting along so well!
-
I want to say TJD, Duncomb, Kopp? Technically I think X, Leal, and Bates didnât make formal announcements but have given enough indication they arenât leaving.
-
Lmao. In our defense, Cincys Twitter account has like 40k followers and we have over a million (you can check yourself). We have a lot more fans, so naturally a much greater chance at having toxic ones
-
Really sad seeing some of the comments/lack of enthusiasm from Cincy fans. Goes to show weâre not as toxic as you may think
-
Jay Wright is apparently retiring. Woody may wanna pump the breaks on filling that 13th scholarship, could see a lot of good players transfer out.

2022 PF Malik Reneau Commits to INDIANA!!!
Hoosierdave replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Definitely just being playful and trying to speak it into existence. They are close; JHS wouldnât ruin his commitment over a casual IG story. Malik did mention in an interview that JHS hasnât been super pushy about IU; he said JHS understands where Malik is coming from since he also de committed from a school and wanted to explore his options. But yes A+ for effort and couldnât have asked for a better kid to join him on this official visit! -
Again, not really what Iâm saying⌠Giving the IMPRESSION to a player that itâs his spot to lose based on his prior play is not equal to behind the scenes GUARANTEEING a player a starting role like someone had suggested. Making empty promises to players IMO is a bad cultural move and wouldnât help motivate players to grind and work hard and be the best player and teammate possible. Again, huge difference between being transparent with a player on where they currently are on the depth chart based on what coaches are seeing and telling them âidgaf what you do during the off-season, Iâve already decided how Iâm allocating minutes next year.â Also, youâre lucky in that regard. I played college sports too, started my first 3 years. Got pushed to the bench because a freshman was just objectively better than me. He earned it, and while it sucked to work hard for 3 years and my senior year lose that role, I was happy that my coach didnât allow seniority and personal relationships to get in the way of what was best for our team. I wasnât mad at my coach, I understood itâs competitive sports and itâs his job to put the best players out there because they EARNED it. I only see race coming off the bench if TJD comes back because his permitter scoring and perimeter defense left a lot to be desired at the 4, and it would surprise me if Woody relied on Duncomb more than Race to fill those minutes when TJD needs a breather/in foul trouble.
-
Right but youâre missing a key point in my comment- Race earned it this year, NOT next year. next years time is not this years team and it should be treated as such. The only thing these kids should be promised is an opportunity. I would understand and respect if kids transferred in droves from this program if they knew the coaching staff wasnât even giving them the them a fair shot during the off-season. Not to mention, not gonna land the KJ Evansâ of the world by giving them the impression that no player can come in and make an immediate impact.
-
Well then Iâd say Iâm very concerned about the future of this program if less than a month into the off season Woodsonâs already finalized his starting lineup. Any good coach would tell his players time is earned, not given.
-
Just my 2 cents, but now that Race is back Iâd prefer to see something along the lines of: C:TJD, Race, Duncomb PF: Geronimo, Banks SF: Galloway, Kopp SG: Bates, Leal, Gunn PG: X, JHS Love me some Race but I canât see us doing much better having him and TJD play together for 30+ minutes.
-
Thank you for saying this, couldnât agree more. He could start at the 4 or 3, letâs not sit here and act like Race and Kopp were all Americans this season and the writing is on the wall with playing time. JG plays well at the 4 but he should realistically play the 3 with his physique, but it wouldnât shock me if Kopp found his groove next year and Galloway developed an outside shot quicker than JG and took those remaining minutes. Plus even if Race left, not sure that guarantees starting minutes for JG. Could see woody using 3 guards, which would make a guy like Kopp likely play the 4 instead. Also Banks is a solid recruit and weâre heavily recruiting Malik Reneau so JG needs to remind himself he hasnât played basketball for that long and thereâs a lot of room for growth.

2023 PF Kwame Evans Jr. Commits to Oregon
Hoosierdave replied to IUFLA's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Donât think we land him but IMO really good sign that Texas didnât make his final 5 since he also has a very talented Montverde teammate on there. Leads me to believe we arenât on that list solely because of personal connections. -
It wouldnât surprise me if what happened was he was speeding and the âresistingâ was something like them asking X to get out of the car, allowing them to search the vehicle without any cause, etc. Cops HATE when civilians know their rights and wonât just blindly let them do whatever they want to the civilian out of fear of the law being on the copâs side. My freshman year got pulled over since we were the only ones out on this road. Cop automatically assumed it was drunk driving, absolutely harassed the driver and made him take a field sobriety test. We were literally just lost and trying to find fast food, so yes, cops can absolutely make something out of nothing.
-
Well this sucks, typical IU basketball. They better call up Nigel Pack after this one, I just canât see X staying with how strict Woody is.
-
Well IU staff writer for rivals logged a prediction for IU today so maybe others feel weâre in the drivers seat.
