Both he and his family have been longtime Hoosier fans, and he has siblings who have attended there. His decision and he’ll have to live with any consequences that affect his career. I don’t believe he made the best decision for himself but it was his decision to make. He’s a good player and will be an asset for IU if they develop and use him to the best of his abilities.I am surprised an in-state player would want to play for Woodson.
That is, if a kid doesn't want to play for Painter, why wouldn't he play for a good coach out of state if the had the opportunity like this kid - rather than play for Woodson.
It must be the economics of NIL because otherwise this makes no sense.
Forget family and all the rest of it. He should have sought the best coach if he wants to play on. I hope for him he gets a good chance to transfer if and when it doesn't work out.Both he and his family have been longtime Hoosier fans, and he has siblings who have attended there.

Where else would Woody be assuming Cuban doesn't fire him?Yep good luck to him except when we play him 😂. But hope it works out for him. Hope woodys still there next year for him.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you. I’m just pointing out that likely affected his decision. I think several of the other schools would possibly have been better as far as developing and coaching are concernedForget family and all the rest of it.

What an insanely narcissistic thing to say.I don’t believe he made the best decision for himself
Well $$$ plays a part too and IU is willing to shell out as much as possible to sniff the second weekend again…so we will see if it pans out.

Your comment is insanely narcissistic.What an insanely narcissistic thing to say.
Fired. For not adapting to modern bball and not making the second weekend with this “loaded” roster.Where else would Woody be assuming Cuban doesn't fire him?
I, uhh, don't think you know what that word meansYour comment is insanely narcissistic.
Painter has shown time and time again he can develop players with of course Zach being the greatest example of that (so far). So you are correct, these are not bothersome and we still have a truckload of talent on the team and coming in.I know Painter was in on him for a long time, but recruiting misses don’t bother me like they used to. Opens up opportunity for someone else.
Of course, all opinions are narcissistic 🙄😂… it’s just a flipping opinion that hurts or affects no one but you do you lolWhat an insanely narcissistic thing to say.
Montverde will develop him pretty well. They seem to be at the top of the high school basketball world right now.Didn't think he was coming here when he went the prep school route. I believe the good players we got from prep schools were committed to us prior to them going there.
Will be interesting to see if Woodson can develop him....or a good team with him.
I, uhh, don't think you know what that word means
You act as if it's some knock to pay players.Well $$$ plays a part too and IU is willing to shell out as much as possible to sniff the second weekend again…so we will see if it pans out. Hope it’s the best decision for him.
It is two words and I do know what they mean.I, uhh, don't think you know what that word means
Well thats not true. Just those that purport to know what is best for someone else without knowing what their situation, priorities, interpersonal relationships, etc are.Of course, all opinions are narcissistic 🙄😂…
This is quite true. Just found it surprising.it’s just a flipping opinion that hurts or affects no one but you do you lol
Oh no, I’m saying it plays a huge factor. If NIL wasn’t a thing, IU certainly would not get a majority of the players they have. The kids should get paid but don’t act like these they are going to IU just because it’s IU or because of Woody. They haven’t seen IU be that successful in their lifetimes.You act as if it's some knock to pay players.
I think you are underestimating the draw of IU's nationally acclaimed General Studies program.Oh no, I’m saying it plays a huge factor.

Indiana would still be getting some of these guys. They were getting 5 stars before NIL and getting good players. Now, they can just add an extra.Oh no, I’m saying it plays a huge factor.

I am in total support of their current plan to just throw wads of money at whatever "good" players they can get to accept it. Team concept and continuity be damned.You act as if it's some knock to pay players.
Sarcasm!Of course, all opinions are narcissistic 🙄😂…
Cmon man, lol. Would not have got those transfers…and they lost Liam.Indiana would still be getting some of these guys. They were getting 5 stars before NIL and getting good players. Now, they can just add an extra.
All of them? No. 1 or 2 probably.Cmon man, lol. Would not have got those transfers…and they lost Liam.
Ballo fits the team concept perfectly. Couldn't hit a shot for anything last year. So Woody went and got an offensive rebounder.I am in total support of their current plan to just throw wads of money at whatever "good" players they can get to accept it. Team concept and continuity be damned.
Him and Malik about to be the worst FT shooting front court in the countryBallo fits the team concept perfectly. Couldn't hit a shot for anything last year. So Woody went and got an offensive rebounder.
lol keep thinking thatAll of them? No. 1 or 2 probably.
Indiana has always drawn talent. Just not that much. Probably would have only gotten 2 of Rice, Carlyle, Ballo and Tucker. Which I would have taken. All 4 is great. Will it work? I don't know. Goode I think was an easier get than the rest.lol keep thinking that
Guys have been going after their childhood dream since they started giving scholarships.I don’t necessarily disagree with you. I’m just pointing out that likely affected his decision.
