He hit shots in 6 out of 35 games...Thats not inconsistent. That is being bad at shooting.
Vs Jackson State--22 points. 8/11 FGA, 4-6 three
Vs Nebraska---19 points. 7-12/5-8
Vs Arizona---13 points. 6-10/1-3
Vs Kennesaw State---19 points. 7-12/3-7
Vs MSU----17 points. 5-8/5-6
VS PSU---14 points... 6-12/2-5
9 games with NO points..
9 games with 5 points or less..
Just not that big of a loss...
While I'd like to have him back, I feel like if we were relying on him having huge minutes we'd be in trouble. Any other year I wouldn't like it but with the portal it's best.
Pierre Brooks to the portal. Very expected, had huge opportunities with the injuries for Akins and Malik this year and absolutely did no seize the opportunity. Can’t defend a chair, is a great isolation guy but struggles to play within a team concept.
Really disappointed with his career, I had really high hopes.

Portal and what is returning and coming in...
Banks/Gunn.--Gunn was awful. But got buried. I felt Banks should have gotten more run. TBH Iwas more excited about Banks as a soph, compared to Tamar as a junior.
Like Cupps and Newton. Cupps is solid. I think he'll get some PT backing up X, and see some runat the 2 as well. Newton is athletic as ****. Decent shooter. Dount either will be impactful outside of back-up minutes...If any of the two exceed such, I;d ecpect it to be Cupps. He reminds of Smith at Purdue.
Honestly feel X and Galloway are a strong, solid starting back court.
So as of now...

Galloway
?---Banks possibly
Malik
Portal
Like to grab Ike or Shedrick...Wouldn't be against Love from UNC. Ledlum or Langborn.
In other words, Woody needs to hit a HR in the portal. Multiple ones.
Keep passing it inside the paint. Maybe eventually you'll have a wide-open shot.
0 points in the final 9 minutes. Brilliant. Just brilliant basketball.
Welcome to our season. Glad it's over.
I like Banks, he'll be a good complementary piece.
I mean, these guys are pretty busy from September - March. And nothing cleanses the body like the waters of Lake Minnetonka in July.Imagine going from this:
To this:
That lake is not ELITE....SKI-U-MAH
Not much other than we aren’t in the pole position for either.
I keep seeing Creighton for Rohde.
Not much on Paveletzke. He's not at a super position of need for us although I'd love to trade McGee for him straight up.
Antonio Curro more likely. Don't hear a ton about Shaka.
After Reink "full" Mast it seems like pretty hard.
Do you think Woodson’s plan is going to try and add a portal wing or just run with Banks at the starting 3? Or what would you do in that scenario?
Shedrick would be an interesting one and would definitely help to mitigate the loss or TJD on defense.
Heard Love’s leaning Memphis or Mizzou at the moment
My guess is Banks....And tbh its probably what I would do. I think Banks has the hcance to be really good.
I am hoping IU lands Shedrick or Ike.

Galloway
Banks
Reneau
Shedrick
I could get on board with that.
I think he's going to try to add talent through the portal. Let the chips fall after that's done.
I hope he doesn't "recruit over" Banks in the portal...Don't wanna see that kid leave Bloomington.
He'll play but you don't turn down talent. I doubt Woody is concerned with hurting guys feelings, that's not his style.
Renau over Race.
Banks over JG and Bates.
Moving JG out of the line-up when Race came back. This was a time when JG was actually playing well.
He's(Woody) big on playing upperclassmen, and has said so. "I trust them more..." Exact words.
Expected....Wish Woody had played this dude more. Tried to develop him at the 4----I have no clue why.
I do hate to see him go.
JG was horrible on defense, he constantly got lost or held up taking a chance that wasn't there. Renau was our backup 5 and picked up unnecessary fouls a lot, you can't play him and Taryce together consistently. Woody is big on playing guys he trusts, that's not JG.
Has potential but he doesn't have it between the ears. Constantly got lost on defense.
This is IMO how you have to deal with it as a coach.
If adding another solid player makes a current player transfer, then they don’t want to be on a winning team. Because everyone is hitting the portal in today’s climate
Apparently Illinois had a visit with Shedrick today, no idea what option he is for the staff though.
Who is Ike btw?
