ephul Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yeah I just don't want to see Duncomb get the boot. He's such an intriguing guy. Freakishly long. Could be a menace defensively by his junior and senior year. Having 13 scholarships, we aren't going to recruit 4 and 5 star guys that are willing to wait around for 2 to 3 years before they get PT. Having a guy like Duncomb that is (presumably) fine with his role right now could pay big dividends in the coming years. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierDPU95 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 What has been lost in all this discussion is the fact that the HSN site hasn't crashed once today. 😜 Way to go guys. That last upgrade really did the trick 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy1987 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Can't see anybody getting the boot. I think that would have happened already. If we are looking for a guard something is planned. And I don't think it's TJD leaving. Don't underestimate what having the NLI can do. Go Hoosiers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HoosierMama Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Maybe I'm being naive here, but maybe Reneau coming is something that helps encourage TJD to stay another year instead of it being a sign he is going to leave. He's already cemented himself as a fan fave for a lot of people -- the only thing he hasn't really done is won the Big Ten and gone deep into the tournament. Maybe being surrounded by all of this young talent and someone who he could be a mentor to is appealing to him. Or I'm just trying to think it into existence 🙂 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People might forget that he’s on the roster, then out of nowhere, he puts together formidable junior and senior seasons. Maybe not, but he does intrigue me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 First of all, great news - and welcome, Malik! As for guys leaving, or getting “creaned” - I don’t see anyone being forced out. We’ll need some of these guys to be contributors in a year or two. I’m also confident that Leal is perfectly content being the 12th or 13th scholarship player on our roster. He’s living out his childhood dream, and will be ready when his number called. If TJD does in fact stay in the draft, I can imagine that he and Woody have already talked and used it to Woody’s benefit as far as recruiting is concerned. Not saying that’s the case, but I feel strongly about the fact that Woody already knows what TJD’s future holds in regards to playing basketball at Indiana University. I’m excited for what’s to come!

DocHoosier Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Player comp: Moussa Diabate, PF for Michigan this past year. Former 5-star who Averaged 9ppg/6reb as a Frosh. Beats people with quickness, hustle and finishing around the rim. Tireless worker on the boards. Leaves it all effort on the court. very excited to see what Malik can do! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhunter Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 On paper Leal is the weakest link. I don’t see an Indiana boy like him getting ran off. My guess it will be Geronimo or TJD. And I really want to keep Geronimo for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be physically immature for the B1G and may have had a hiccup at a fraternity or wherever but he's not a bum project off the street and comes from a very good high school program in Ohio. I don't know how the numbers work but it would certainly be wild if a guy dropped his scholarship and picked up NIL. I'd say it's highly unlikely as over the years these boards have come up with some of the wildest ideas of players parents have money so they could pay their own way and that has happened exactly ZERO times. But nil is wild and fans is short for fanatic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Robby Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 If TJD comes back (I believe he will) this is a second or, oh hell I’ll say it…3rd weekend in ncaa tourney roster of talent. Especially with all summer to get better. i love the program direction 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we have maintained a fanatic and fairly loyal fanbase over the past 20 years of mediocre results (for us). We have a big alumni base that supports the program, that can now include with $$$$ legally. You can cry and bith and moan about that but it is the rules now. Any school/coach not taking advantage of that fact is stupid and/or extremely derelict at doing their job w.r.t. their athletic programs. I guess you didn’t read what I wrote. Uk & ku & Duke all cheated…. Some for 50+ years RMK never cheated….besides Sampson & Romeo it’s hard to tarnish IU with cheating allegations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong. If it was truly that easy, Leal could be on the parent works for the university tuition discount. I remember there being certain priveleges that true scholarship players get that walk ons don't. It's been years and rules have changed. I think what you are referring to is once you offer and recruit a player, you can't then bring them in on some other type of scholarship. The reality is that a bunch of kids come from poverty and would qualify for all sorts of grants.

Especially when said plot was supposedly well within the rules anyway. Also, given what we know has occurred over the past two decades, anyone who still considers what Sampson did as “cheating” are the adult equivalent of the kid who’d tell the teacher you looked over at their paper during a test. You may be right on a technicality but you’re still a major doucher and no one (including your own mother) actually likes you.
