[02Hoosier]

Beat me to it lol. Busy Wednesday afternoon.

[02Hoosier]

Also, not surprised at all.

[btownqb]

Perfectly fine. He wasn't good enough for the B1G. Wish him well, super supportive of his teammates and other sports this season. 

[FKIM01]

Disappointed, but not surprised.  Wish him well.

[KDB]

Rhode Island maybe?

[Purdue7]

Feel like a desperate CAM pushed him to reclassify….or at least didn’t advise against it.

seems like a good kid 

not sure what level he will choose 

best for IU and him 

[Parakeet Jones]

Good luck, KL. 

[Jackson Kellogs]

See ya! 

[KoB2011]

Good luck! Seems like a good kid with some raw talent, hope he can find a spot that allows him to tap into it and thrive. 

[Lostin76]

Good luck to KL, hope he finds a good fit out there. 

[Euroclydon]

Good luck to K Lander.

Really hoped it would work out long term at IU. You can't teach this kids quickness. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have added an ounce of weight since he arrived in Bloomington and in his very limited time on the court it was clear he would struggle to defend virtually anyone. Hopefully he lands in the right spot and he can develop into a great player. Nothing but respect for him and his family. 

Additional thoughts - this may suggest X and or Rob is back - could be that JHS is going to play point - a transfer is coming in that can play PG - G Cupps is looming in '23.  My hope is he spoke with CMW and they mutually agreed this is best.

Showed up as a kid and is still a kid...goodluck!

I would be shocked it there are 5 or 6 players left from this team in the end.

to low, it will be closer to 7 before 4.

[IUwins0708]

Best of luck, hope he finds a good fit and absolutely kills it.  He’s got the tools, just has to work to get stronger.

Good. 6 could great for us. 

[BobSaccamanno]

Disappointed but not surprised.  I hope he does really well somewhere else.

I have been saying 6 for awhile too.  I can easily come up with six.  Probably 7.  It would be for the best.  I am not going to name them, but for the most part it's guys with experience where we know what we have.  I'd love to keep TJD and XJ but am not sure if we keep especially TJD.  I am iffy on XJ too.  

[Between2Halls]

I genuinely hate how this turned out for KL. I really hope he does well wherever he goes. 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

I will throw in, Love Ya Lander! You are going to be really special where ever you land and they will be damn lucky to have you. I hoped it all would have worked out here, but some times things don't work out as we wish. Either way, you are a winner and you will be awesome young man!

[5fouls]

Feel bad for Khristian.  Really seems like a good kid, and it couldn't have been easy to sit the bench after being told how good he was all those years growing up.

That said, I saw him play a couple of times in high school before he committed to IU, and I'm not surprised he struggled.
