But he does all the “little things.” You know about the “little things”, right? Like passing up open lay-ups to share the ball with your teammates…
Nobody wants you back Leal

Leal going to light it up under the new regime.
This kid has the most half court desperation 3’s made than any player in our history.
Bombs away!

This thread reads like a Dr. Phil show.
There is some past trauma coming out from interactions with Leal and one assistant coach we now have that have clearly shattered some lives on here.
I live rent free in lots of buffalo boys heads it seems.
Absolutely NO!
Leal can’t shoot!
He does not fit into Coach Devries style of play!
I would not even want him around the new IU players.
Would he be a loyalist spy for Woodson?
Absolutely NO.
He would bring nothing to the team except bad things.
Sit down meeting with him and encourage him to put all his focus on his real estate business. His basketball career is over.

Move on, the horrible non shooters from the Woodson era need to go away.

Yes, it was the PSU game. Ace Baldwin, DPOY, didn't block him out and he got an O rebound and put back, on pure hustle, with about 3 seconds left.
That's what he's good for. He's probably not a rotation player on a great team, although Leaky Black was a starter on a F4 team, so maybe it depends on the role and opponent. In some situations he's useful as a defender and glue guy.
It kills me that some people are spewing active hatred at a 23 year old for trying to get a job playing basketball. Every single one of us would take 500k to go suit up for IU next year, no matter how bad we are at basketball. Hypocrisy.
Yeah if they wanna pay him $350,000 to ride the bench and keep it warm. Waste of money that does nothing for the team Leal is not a leader and Goode isn't either. Think CDD is making a big mistake if he keeps either.
I don’t think he should get another year but if he does and CDD wants him then CDD will own the results whatever they are.
I didn't care for the press conference when they said the part about turning it around and when they do disgruntled fans shouldn't come back. You do know what you're going to get with the 2. We can't say that about a lot of the guys on the roster.
One role player and one assistant coach will have very little impact on whether coach Devries succeeds or fails.
I think it’s much more likely that you just dislike both of those guys for personal reasons.
I was told he was gonna be a role player last year and was starting in February. Same people were applauding playing him 30 mins. What will change your tune this year?
I forgot about that stupid speech about running it back and fans need to chill.
If you say that, you and 'the only coach I want to play for', need to back it up. And he and coach didn't. Proving that the fans were chill, they just expected Hoosier basketball to be better, like Hoosier basketball.
If Coach wants him, I won't complain, since it's his call and he knows what he's doing. But seems unusual.

The kinda funny part was the folks here last year saying Leal might not wanna play for Woodson and the fans, and start his professional career. I again said there is no chance in hell Leal leaves unless he is asked to. Looks like this will be the case no matter what year of college he is in.
His post game speeches were proof enough to me. Shut your mouth and play
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said, nor does it change it.
I don’t particularly care about Leal, beyond being mildly amused at the level of hate he gets from people like you.
I will say it’s beyond stupid to make any type of judgement on Devries if he does indeed takes Leal back. That’s just ridiculous, because you have no idea what coaches reasoning is.
You just know you really don’t like Leal.
If he takes Leal back Dolson selected the wrong Coach!
Nobody wants you to post again but I bet you do.
Not true. Watch Goode. He’s absolutely a leader
lol ... might as well ask a rock to do algebra.
Bringing back a guy like Leal us very odd to say the least. DD may succeed but it's truly a baffling move. Running it back with woodsons boy. Unreal. Heck Leal will probably try and get a 7th year to cash in more.
Yeah he certainly has won a lot of tournament games in his career 😂
You may want to sit a few plays out.
Kid played like we wanted all the players to play. Like a Hoosier
some of you are crying like he’s coming back to play lead guard.
Why do some of you call him a kid? He's 24.
Tamar is younger and has a kid. Is Tamar still a kid? When are they no longer kids?
Also, Leal was a minor league basketball player. He was a pro making 500 G's. It's no different bashing him, that shitty quarterback for the Colts, or booing LeBron.
Some of you guys think you're still watching Chuck Marlowe on your black and white.

Dude will be 6 or 7 years older than some he plays against. He is a grown man who will get another big fat paycheck.
I have nothing against Leal. So many people on here are way overboard calling out a player who gave his all here for several years. Regardless of how good he is/was, show a little respect to another fellow Hoosier!
If DDV thinks he can help the team in some form or fashion, then he’s welcome back. If not, best of luck to Leal in his future endeavors.
