In my eyes Woody is still trying to build his culture and I feel like he may think this would be a starting point with saying that he isn't gonna tolerate this stuff. I think it is more like XJ being scared poopless of the consequences because he actually does care, even though he did make a mistake last night. Him fearing for his spot on this roster and scared for the direction of his life as he sat in a jail is one of the reasons jail/prison are there to begin with. Obviously this is all my opinion. But I have been arrested before and told a cop/people in the jail the exact same thing he did. His response to this mistake is ultimately how he will be judged. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuthruandthru Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 So while I like understand and semi appreciate as to why Trace stood up for Lander I think this is a perfect example of why all the players should stay off social media besides making posts to earn NIL money and posts about the team. Responding to trolls gets you nothing but more posts from trolls and even that post is really not that horrid compared to so many other posts out there. Just stay away from social media and don’t respond to anyone or anything unless it’s a tweet from IU or someone paying you. It’s just not worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I stayed off when news broke. Here's my two cents. Really a non issue until we know all the facts. Reckless driving could be turning down a one way the wrong way, could be speeding....resisting arrest could be not pulling over for the officer fast enough according to him or her. This is minor stuff.....unless something else comes out. By the way. Kids make mistakes. You comfort them you don't discard them. Regarding Matta....good for him. Hope it works out for him. No doubt Coach has a person in mind already for the position. Both things today are worth about 30 minutes on twitter and here. Statement of the program posts are tiring on little things like this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 say whatever you want, but the news of the day is a giant kick in the pants. say Matta is no big deal, but it's another loss of someone who had me more excited about the Woodson hire. the talent loss of XJ would be big. i know he isn't gone yet, but wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if he is. i don't want this kind of crap in the program. make all the excuses you want for him. dang, an entire board has been consumed with arguing with coach shep other than me and in a really strange way, it kind of makes him look right when you look at the chicago incident and now this. yes, yes, i get it. this has nothing to do with his play on the court, but maybe shep just knew he was this kind of kid? i don't know, but this is not a good day for IU bball. please tell me Reneau is coming to IU. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure....but again it's not a time to kick a kid to the curb. As I said earlier. You nurture a kid when they do dumb stuff....you don't kick him to the curb. I'll be fine with whatever Coach Woodson decides but this fan says plenty of extra running. Maybe some extra stuff (if he comes back) but not kicking him off for being dumb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans are tired of the shit show IU basketball has become. X was part of the NW crew who all have transferred out and he says he has changed, etc. and then does this again. Then you add this to the whole Fife incident, Matta leaving, etc. I just think it’s that and the immaturity he continues to show. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Hey Gang. I just see it differently. If Woodson says he needs to go I'm fine with it. I'm not kicking a kid off for his transgressions to date. Maybe a final warning this is it type of conversation but not yet. I of course believe in helping someone help themselves out of the way they manage their life instead of just saying leave. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDB Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 If this is the type of culture IU did going to allow, they need to bring Kelvin back ASAP. Some of you with your double-standards is laughable. IU is a shat show. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach knows if he deserves a second (third) chance. Coach knows if he’s run out of chances. We’ve all had friends/peers/coworkers/etc. close enough to be a judge of the character. We don’t have that luxury with XJ. Speculation will get us nowhere regarding his future. I just feel frustrated that he made this decision. I was young and dumb once (arguably still dumb) and while I’ve gone 90+ Mph on an interstate, I’d NEVER do that on Walnut. It is beyond dangerous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
