Edwards and Joplin would be excellent gets.
Not to mention the productivity jump he made from one year to the next; his potential has not been fully tapped.Tough, coach friendly, strong, pretty productive.
With his defense and a little more development on offense, he'll be in contention to be on the Big Ten Honorable mention team.Tough, coach friendly, strong, pretty productive.
Yep, this article covers his jump in productivity quite well.Not to mention the productivity jump he made from one year to the next; his potential has not been fully tapped.
Great article on Race.My Two Cents: Only Took 4 Years for Race Thompson to Become Overnight Sensation
For the longest time, many people wondered if Race Thompson would ever have a big impact on the Indiana basketball program. It looks like that time has arrived after his huge career day in the Maui Invitational.www.si.com
His last name.Why is everyone so excited about Race?
The portal is going to be like this every year.We also need staggered transfers, we can't afford all to be one-and-done for the sake of continuity.

Guys at lower level schools who played well there for 3-4 years, maybe graduated but now it doesn't matter as much, looking to upgrade.
Well first of all ... things were very different at the time they made that decision.but saying that anyone who played this year gets an extra year makes no sense.
Big Ten experience. Solid defender. Excellent rebounder. The kind of lunch bucket guy we need underneath.Why is everyone so excited about Race?
1 or 2 years remaining?Big Ten experience. Solid defender. Excellent rebounder. The kind of lunch bucket guy we need underneath.
Add in 1.3 blocks a game last year. Working in tandem with Liam could be a heck of a problem around the basket for opponents.9 and 6 in the Big Ten is solid production. He has potential for even more. He would be an excellent player to get.
He should have 2 years of eligibility. True Senior, but a covid Junior.1 or 2 years remaining?
Includes a redshirt year as a functional high school senior as he made himself eligible early.He should have 2 years of eligibility. True Senior, but a covid Junior.
so redshirt senior, covid junior? That still leaves 2 yrs of eligibility.Includes a redshirt year as a functional high school senior as he made himself eligible early.
So you're saying that the 2017-18 college basketball season ... he graduated Armstrong late in 2017 and joined IU for the spring 2018 semester, and used that season as a redshirt?Includes a redshirt year as a functional high school senior as he made himself eligible early.
I wondered the same thing when he did it. Thought seemed to be he would get a head start on college level competition and conditioning. Plan was derailed when he had the injury (concussion?) that kept him out most of his season that would have been his freshman year. Early entry is more common now.Well first of all ... things were very different at the time they made that decision.
It wasn't for certain by any means that there would be able to even play a whole season.
And this year hasn't been "fun" by any means, for these guys. All the testing, quarantining, regimented lifestyle. These guys aren't big men on campus. There is no campus. No students around.
Travel, you're probably locked in your hotel room the whole time. Can only come out for meetings or to go to the gym. Maybe even bring their food to them in their rooms, who knows.
It's like being sent to the moon, to live, eat, and breath basketball. And take some virtual classes.
That's not the usual experience. So I think it is right to let this year not count. My opinion.
Come to Minnesota and don't follow Shaka
It does. It would be interesting if he gave a hard look at Minnesota. When Smart left VCI for Texas he had recruited Murphy. Then we got him. Deja vu if we get another under sized PF in the same fashion.
This dude is just what the doctor ordered for Minnesota. Well rounded combo forward who is especially known for his shooting abilities. Hope Johnson can find a way to add him to the 2021 class.
You have to request a release. It's almost unheard of that they don't let you out of them now a days.His 247 page says he signed a letter of intent with Texas back in November.
Can you break that, just because the coach leaves? Not saying you shouldn't be able to, just wondering.

That I have no idea on. Just know that the school has to release them. I think some may hold on and hire a new coach first, but I am not sure.Do you know for sure that this hasn't happened already? He's listed as a decommitted player on 247 with a date of April 3rd.
