Dallas James
- Thread starter nafui1965
- Start date
"graduated from South Carolina State with a 4.0 GPA with a major in electrical engineering technology" so my guess is he's not graduating here just finishing out his eligibility (COVID year?).
"father, Jerome, played 11 years in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, the Seattle Supersonics, and the New York Knicks" so he may be here because his dad knows Woodson? I am just speculating on why he would be here, vs. anywhere else -- not trying to cast any negative light on the man.

Don't sell yourself short; it's not mere speculation ... I think you're spot-on. Nepotism is the only thing that makes sense--we know that's what the last four years have been about.
Haven't followed it, at all...maybe he's getting a masters degree too? Sounds like he was a pretty dedicated student at his last stop. All of these things could be true. Obviously though, Woodson could have given one of the walk ons a scholly, instead of gifting it to James...if that's what happened.
he was brought here to push ballo in practice, was told he wouldn't play was fine with it, brilliant kid
Waste of a scholly, especially in hindsight as we finish the season with nine healthy guys willing to play and that includes Carlyle and Hatton.
It was obvious during the last spring portal this team needed an elite and athletic 6'7" or so defensive stopper to play spot minutes when Goode, Mgbako, Ballo, and Reneau's average at best defensive efforts on the perimeter needed to be benched.
When was the last time there was a moderate level of confidence in Roster Construction? Late Crean, 2016?
I'm 95% confident next seasons roster construction will once again be flawed and frustrate me. So, looking forward to the '27 season to see if that program flaw finally gets corrected.

yeah, any team worth a shit has 4 all American Bigs, you people are ridiculous, bitching about the 15th man
That's hilarious. It was nepotism, that got him 0 playing time? Lol. That makes 0 sense.
So you think a spot on the roster, that far down the food chain, got him a big NIL payday? Cmon man. Pretty sure he would have made more by getting a job, with that degree.
Oh boy. Yeah, who wouldn't want to be wildly overpaid to sit on the bench and (perhaps?) continue his education at IU?
He would have sat wherever he went, so why not get a bag while doing so?
"Wildly overpaid", so what exactly did he receive? You must know by describing him as wildly overpaid. He made more in NIL as a 15th man never playing than he would have as a mechanical engineer?
