FKIM01 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 The portal is probably why Woody isn't torn up about filling out his classes. Lots of crap, but plenty of quality for a top 20 program to land. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1215 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I think getting a 20-21 year old with experience and a body of work to see is a better way to go than an 18 year old unless it’s a can’t miss stud. Give me the known product 3/4 times. Gonna be a lot of roster changes for us after this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our own Tamar Bates decommitted from the Longhorns. Some of you are trying to make it sound like I'm against taking ANY transfers. I'm not. I'm just not in favor of a huge roster turnover of transfers over kids we already have in the program. I trust Coach Woodson to know what we need, both from a basketball standpoint, and a chemistry fit standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 All we can do is trust in Woody to find the magic recipe of balancing HS recruits with transfers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 If Keyonte Johnson wants to hit the portal as a grad transfer, I'd buy his NIL t shirt. He's pretty solid. Geez he'd fit right in at the 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danomatic Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Well, I wish we could’ve avoided this thread for a couple more weeks, but here we are. Just my opinion, but I expect to return: 1. XJ 2. Trey 3. Malik 4. Banks 5. Leal Graduating, or going pro: 1. TJD 2. JHS 3. Race 4. Kopp Not sure what’s next: 1. Bates 2. Geronimo 3. Gunn 4. Duncomb I really don’t look for Geronimo and Duncomb to return, leaving seven scholarship openings. I think Bates will return if he can handle some constructive criticism from Woody. Gunn should return, but there’s no guarantees today. Don't kill me, but those are my thoughts currently. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 10 eligible to return, and are picking up Cupps and Newton...So 12 for now...JHS leaves, that's 11...If, as you say, a couple leave, that puts us at 9...

NotIThatLives Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I don't want to push anyone off the team. No clue how it really works. Does Coach Woodson say, look, we love you but the business is championships. You gotta be a whole lot better to sniff playing time next year. It's up to you. Or is it, I appreciate your time and effort here but we are going in a different direction. ??? Clearly we don't have the athletes to win at the highest level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I have on a security guards authority that Gunn isn't happy with pt. Him and pops think he should be getting more time. Clearly he has to get way stronger and way better all around. He would probably make a fine contribution his Jr and sr years. Can't see relying on him for more than 10-12 mins max next year though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Bates. Was just awful offensively the last 20 or so games of the season. Shot 26.9% from three in February and March. Had all the opportunity in the world. You look at a guy like Jerome Hunter finally grow and you would hate to see him go but he's not a reliable go to guy and can't beat many guys off a dribble and can't get to the rack either. Shy's from contact and fades away shooting really bad shots. He will likely be fine as a senior but no way you go into next season expecting him to start and go get buckets. Not if you want to win a lot of games. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with this, but your math is a bit off. 5 guys you listed as back, plus probably/maybe Bates and Gunn is 7. 2 incoming freshman is 9, which leaves us 4 open spots to fill. IMO, I'd love to see 3 transfers and 1 freshman. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents just need to shut up. The team was not awful, and CJ Gunn has talent. Whether or not he fulfills his promise at IU remains to be seen. But, priority #1 is for dad to shut up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the quickest way to get your son more playing time from CMW is to go on Twitter and complain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Parents chirping on social media is one of the worst recent developments. Having said that, Gunn has length and potential. He—along with all our freshmen—need to get into the weight room hard. Gunn and Banks are young and look like twigs. Reneau has incredible natural strength but he needs to condition off all his baby fat and get a step quicker. Regarding Gunn, I think his upside is role player off the bench next season and then playing more as an upperclassmen. He has the potential to defend and shoot. But it’s a meritocracy. Get better and prove you deserve to be on the floor. Not a single person thinks the problem was that Gunn needed to play more.

This! ^^^ Hopefully CJ knows his roll and that he wasn’t quite ready. If so, he most likely may have told his dad to “nip it in the bud”!

Seeking6 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I know the portal is an integral part of today's game. I just honestly hate the outwardly trashing (maybe not the right word) or suggesting certain players can hit the bricks. I know they are getting paid. I realize with that fans feel like they can criticize. They are still kids though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
