bluegrassIU Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Takeaways... Close your eyes and you will swear Juwan Morgan is back in Bloomington. That's a man's voice. Lol The players that Coach and staff are bringing in are just different than what we have had. In a good way. Jakai is a competive, confident dude. I think he may be huge for us, flying under the radar. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a 20 minute interview, Coyle talks for 18 of it 🙂 But the 2 things I loved was when Coyle asked him about what his game would benefit IU, the first word out of his mouth was defense... The other was how Indiana through Coach Ya and Coach Woodson didn't promise the world...they were straight with him, and as he said "100.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, Coyle talks a lot . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Galloway kind of player with perhaps slightly more athleticism? Just a thought with only seeing a few online videos. I'm also very excited to see what he can do. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in the general basketball forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His leg healed up but his hip degenerated so bad he ended up having to have a hip replacement! Get well Jakai! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish we would have had a full clip these last couple of seasons including Jakai. You see it every year in programs some kid comes out of nowhere just because finally having a clean bill of health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But definitely rooting for this kid to kick his injuries and get out on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
