He is going to Presbyterian College in SC. Small D1 school in the Big South conference. I think a great fit for him. Personally I could never be a walk on when I could go to a lower division and play, but he wants the year round training and to see the inner workings of a D1 program to prepare him for a coaching career. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty smart and dedicated of him I'm sure he's going to pave a great path for himself. Lots of time, sacrifice, abd dedication and few good breaks here and there and you may just find yourself on the bench of another young up and comer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Yeah I'm a little shocked Watford's not getting more love on this thread. Maybe people soured because little brother took a bag of cash and instead of coming here but that had nothing to do with Christian. Christian was a fantastic and still is a fantastic ambassador for this University and the program. He also played a massive part on the best team since early 2000's and was the final touch on our wildest moment in the last 15 or ao years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodos Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Oladipo is number one for me (currently rooting for Miami because of him). My second choice was very close between Cody and Yogi, but will give Yogi the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Beilfeldt and Zeisloft. If they didn’t transfer in that season would have been completely different! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BobSaccamanno Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I am changing my vote even though I might be susceptible to criticism of recency bias. I am going with Oladipo and Trayce. As @tdhoosier mentioned in another thread, TJD was on with the Hoosier Hysterics. I just love this kid. He is a tremendous leader and his career stats will be off the charts in terms of scoring, rebounding, and blocks. I will add to tdhoosier's tidbits. When Trayce told CMW he was returning, they scheduled an in-person meeting in Indy. TJD came armed with ideas and plans for effective summer work. CMW loved it and said it was exactly what a leader should be doing. The thing about the NU game suspensions was riveting. CMW initially knew about only 2 guys who broke curfew. TJD and Race talked with the assistants and they wanted them all suspended. The point was he wanted all of them working as a team for a common goal. On the rules for drug tests, TJD mocked the policy of the first flunk, you have to call your parents, second you get 2-3 game suspension, etc. TJD wants a guy gone after the first one. His point is about everyone rowing in the same direction. He loves CMW. He knows CMW and the staff want the best for him, as a person. He said CMW is not really a yell at you kind of coach, but at halftime of the UM game he basically said "do you guys even want to play or not." TJD told Race, "We are winning this game, I don't care [what it takes]..." He is excited about playing and wishes they had games now. He said in some prior years, players were burnt out at the end of the season, but no longer. 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really cool and that he wants to be a coach. Great profession if you're passionate about it. My nephew is graduating too. He was an all district player in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, metro area). Tough guard, averaged well into double figures and could have played DIII or walked on in D1. He is not going into coaching so he is going to stop with ball and focus on academics. He is a smart kid as he had a 1500 SAT and great grades.

It's nice to see it acknowledged since it was obvious this was the case to fans. This seemed to sometimes happen under Crean but often under Miller. 1 season under Woodson has already made a difference in mindset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a smart kid as he had a 1500 SAT and great grades. Exactly the situation my son was in. 2nd team all district. 2x state champs. They finished undefeated two years in a row (49-0). 41% 3 point shooter with 186 made in 3 years. 4.4 GPA. 1320 SAT. He had D3 or walk on at D1. Personally, I would have to play! I'd go to D3 and tear it up! He's wired differently. I hope he is happy! Sorry to derail the thread - I still say Yogi and Cody with an honorable mention to Daniel Moore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegrassIU Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Favorites... Vic TJD But I respect and admire Juwan Morgan.

cybergates Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Since he's coming back, a fellow lefty, and going to put up historic numbers TJD 2nd is OG (would have been Vic before he left the Pacers debacle). Just like everything about OG on and off the court. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Robby Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Juwan Morgan. Wish he woulda had woody and crew for say…3 years? robert Johnson always played his ass off and had a great stroke. I love all the players mentioned in prior posts. Thomas Bryant is up there for me too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
