But if Trayce returns, we've got a monstrous upgrade in talent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier92 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I look forward to the day these commitments are no longer a shock but rather the norm! Great day to be a Hoosier! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostin76 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 NICE! Looks like JHS was the one who spilled the beans after all. Looks like Woodson can recruit after all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him on tv recently; very good rebounder and knows how to score inside. IU could use that as I’ve seen too many missed shots up close. Plus can’t hurt on Evans next year if two teammates are already here. Boom baby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TJD returns, I'm not sure this moves the needle much this coming year. We aren't starting TJD, Race AND Reneau so this would provide some nice depth. It will be hard to keep them all happy if we just have 1 big in at a time though. If TJD doesn't return, then it's much needed depth (assuming we stick with 1 big (Race or Reneau).

Sure our guards need to shoot better overall, X improved down the stretch, Kopp can shoot he's very sporadic. Malik > Logan D. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Woodson can recruit after all. Someone on Twitter over the weekend tweeted out Mike the closet Woodson or something along those lines so I was hoping it was in reference to Malik. I watched him play and he wasn’t overly athletic but he’s also top 25 for a reason so I trust our coaching staff to develop him.m to become athletic.

LD won’t get playing time here until year 3 unless TJD leaves. I think LD waits on that decision 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the 5, he has the strength and length to battle Glad he has that length because he'd get beat of the dribble every play. He can't play on the perimeter at all at this point in time - we've seen two different coach staffs arrive at that conclusion, and both needed help on the wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
