Xavier Johnson will not return this season


Recommended Posts

On the bright side, if he’s allowed to play next year, that’d answer the PG question and significantly raise the floor for next year. Would’ve been nice to get him back this year, but he was probably going to be playing limited minutes the rest of the way if he did play.

Exactly what I was thinking... Possible silver lining to the cloud...

In my IU fan brain I heard the news. Thought man that sucks....but thought a minute later well X with Trey, hopefully one of JG/Tamar steps up, Malik....and we hit the portal for another big and scorer haha...that along with Banks, Newton, Cupps,etc...might not be the drop off we were expecting.

Wow.  Gut punch followed by instant boost for next year.  Maybe a year on the bench he can come back wiser and be a true floor general.  

Man, just think if Jalen is like, screw it, college is a blast, the money and life is pretty great.  Take out an injury rider and roll the dice on NPOY next year and jumping into top 5.

Hope the medical redshirt works. For us to get there by rules says we need what 6 or 7 more games? Someone must feel confident that we get this redshirt. If it does happen our team suddenly looks much better on paper next year before we hit portal.

34 games would be 30% (X played in 11) and after tomorrow, we'll have played 31...
