Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 In the midst of our demise, I do not know if some mentioned this It’s believable since he was not mentioned in the senior send off today, only Bybee and Durham( also the Managers).

mrflynn03 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Brunk give a ton of effort but as much as I like Brunk I dont think he is a difference maker. He is a good guy to have around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we will have 2 nice 6’11 bigs next season, hopefully TJD stays and we go after a Big in the Market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 i think Brunk is actually very important. not because he is an All B1G player, but he gives a solid hopefully back up 6'11'' rebounder and defender that doesn't hurt you on the offensive end. i don't think TJD is coming back, but if he does, having Brunk in any time he's on the bench would be huge. if TJD is gone, face it, right now Brunk would b our best option at the 5.

jojo123 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 As much as I like Brunk. He is not the compliment we need to Trace. We need a big that can step out and hit the three seeing how are guards are so inconsistent. Joey adds depth and is a good sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I’m still a bit hazy on the rules with this. Since he is a senior who decided to come back, would we technically be able to have 14 scholarships next year with the COVID rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we get 15 so technically it would be 16 and yes he wouldn’t count against the scholarships. Now it’s up to IU if they want to treat him like a “scholarship player” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'd like to see Joey get a real final season of play in, if possible. He's earned that much. And frankly, is IU in a position to turn down anyone with size that wants to play? They are not. I'd be interested in what kind of recovery we are looking at though. When healthy he can play a role and help the team. If he's going to have a lingering back problem he should probably get on with his life's work. The other question is, what coaching staff will he be talking to? I'd guess Archie would want him to return but if a new coach is in place, they may see it differently.

AxnJxn Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'm happy to hear this, for one main reason - leadership. In Saturday's game, he pulled Trey aside and was having what looked like a positive teaching moment with him, something it seems this team could use some more of.

The Daily Hoosier Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Here is a story on what he said today. I think this is a strong lean towards returning, but I understand why he is non-committal. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/joey-brunk-still-undecided-on-return-for-sixth-season/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUguy Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Glad, especially if he's healthy. TJD should come back, since he's not yet ready for the NBA, but he may not, given the state of the program. In any case, our biggest need is a ball handling guard, either a 1 or 2, wh can both shoot and take over a game. We just don't have one of those and you need one to win consistently.
