He would’ve been bonkers crazy not to. That kid gave so much to IU. No need to risk millions for an irrelevant backup tournament.

See no reason why he wouldn’t return. Really never thought he might bolt as he has developed quite well under Woodson. We get a couple dynamic players shooting high level from distance and one or two other great set shooters, and we will be a really good team.
Hope Race comes back.
He lost millions thinking he was ready to make the jump rather than learning to really play the game first. Talented, but didn't understand how to use his talent.
Beyond ignorant. He’s the poster child for why you leave early. The NBA drafts on potential. He’s making $4 million per year. If he comes back he might have been a 2nd rounder. If you’re a lottery pick you ALWAYS leave. Always. There are zero exceptions.
Sure, if you think his ceiling was playing a little over a quarter per game in the NBA, at 5 ppg. He's basically just an occasional decoy on offense. To be honest, though, I'm not convinced Archie would have helped him much if he stayed.
He needed to find his inner Kobe. Maybe Woodson would have helped him.
Even more ignorant to believe he’d get better coaching in college than the NBA. That’s what people like you don’t understand. Your development doesn’t end the day you get drafted. Get paid to develop without college classes and with the best coaches in the world. It’s a no brainer.
Romeo needed to learn how to score within the flow of an offense against good defenses (eg, start his move on the catch and beat his man off the cut). Maybe if he stayed at the g-league level that could have happened, but it's an advantage for guys who learn it in college.
It's everybody else's full-time job, too. Why should they hold back and let someone else learn on the job?
Hey speculation guy. Listen to the recent interview with JG with the clown hysterics. He talks for an hour. You tell me if he knows if he is staying or leaving even now.
I don’t speculate.
I'll settle this for the world, there is only 1 mustard, Colemans and there is no substitute, it's like driving a Porsche for your 1st time
Will have to give that one a try. I am a mustard junky and keep several kinds around. Nathan's and White Castle are good . There are some fairly inexpensive ones that are actually quite good.
It is expensive, but not outrageous. I buy it in powder form because it's hard to come by at most groceries on a regular basis. ... hot English mustard ..

Well, @SIhoosier26 ???Rememeber when you said I was speculating? Now you have some info straight from the horses mouth all the way on your couch. Ready to start speculating that there is no chance he leaves? Im waiting......
Would be terrible for the program if he were to leave. Even if Race and TJD came back, which I'm 99 percent sure won't happen.
Damn. This kid has sky high potential, but if that’s accurate in regards to his attitude I don’t think Woodson can keep him on.
I would argue he is the most important player to return.
I don’t mean to sound any alarms - JG said he is evaluating what is best for him - it may end up back at IU, though he didn’t say that specifically. I’m guessing this scenario is going to be commonplace in the future. Much like 40 years ago, when kids had to claim “hardship”
to go to NBA, now it’s going to be potential major roster shuffles in college.

2nd, behind TJD.
I get your point....there is no other 4 if Race leaves. But essentially there is no other 5 if TJD leaves.
Also......there are a lot of 6'8" 210 lbs players in the portal that you could stick at the 4 position if all else failed. There are, and will be, very few guys 6'10" and up who have the skills that posters here are looking for from a true C.

Do you recall how far into the 2hr 51min podcast did JG appear?
I hope he's the outlier, and that they've already begun those 'talks' with some of the other players.
Who in there right mind would want to listen to those two for hours. I have no idea how any of these podcasts get listened too. at least on here I can scroll through shit I dont wanna read. You would have to pay me to listen to them.
For what it is worth. I thought he was going to transfer before the MI game.
Team first mentality?
Or something family related where he needed to be closer to home?
I think JG is a free spirit. More of a loaner than anyone on the team. Also, very innocent. I dont think he knows what is best for him next right now. He is probably truly 50/50 right now.
Hopefully he sticks it out. He can be a star. But if he has the wrong people in his ear back home then that can be a severe detriment.
