    Rumors that he will be a paid member on staff after he graduates. My best guess is he was planning on working for Dusty, Woody/Dolson said not so fast, and then they offered him a position.

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    Yeah would love a defensive specialist big (Bradshaw) and a stretch 5 (Humrichous or Dawson Garcia). The odds of that happening are slim since someone is going to have to sit the bench but it's fun to think about.

    Grab 3/4 (sorry Leland) and Bradshaw please. Then maybe one more big and Blazi as the 13th spot.

    Fire Coach Woodson

    He put Indianambb back in his bio so seems like it.

    Yeah I added a little more context in my follow up post. Maybe both can be true? Hickman himself didn't say that but someone in his camp did? Or maybe Rabby just trying to protect a Bloomington native whereas Trilly couldn't care less as a 3rd party guy. Regardless, with him visiting this weekend, we'll find out soon enough if Woody can convince him to take the offer. I would think having Trey and Leal in his ear saying how much money they've made could go a long way vs whatever Cincy is offering.

    Hickman or someone from his inner circle is what Trilly reported. But Rabby has since said it is not true so we shall see with him visiting this weekend.

    Want to feel even worse? This comment about the offense was made by a portal player from.. Bloomington, IN.

    I don't have an update but based on him removing IU from his Twitter and Insta bio, I don't see him returning to IU. Whether that means he is hired by Dusty or not, it doesn't seem like he returns. Here's a conspiracy, what if he was the one leaking info about Woody and his failed recruiting efforts and is now facing the axe?

    Adam Howard going to UM with Dusty? He changed his twitter pic and bio and retweeted a Dusty to UM tweet.

    Positive Thread only

    There’s plenty of threads with non stop negativity so let’s keep this thread positive only (life is short, let’s try not to be miserable). I’ll start. Queen commits and Mgbako returns. Need 3 portal guards and we’re right there. PG - portal (Tony Perkins, Bruce Thornton, or Malik Mack) SG - portal/Galloway Wing - McNeely PF - Mgbako C - Malik Bench: Queen, Cupps, knockdown shooter, Newton, Sparks. If none of Leal, Banks, or Gunn return get 1 freshman guard and a backup wing.

    Booker is exactly what we need if all he does is stand around the 3 on offense. I'm sure that's exaggerated and he would also be perfectly fine in lobs too. We need a stretch 5 on O and rim protector on D. Sign him up!

    Fire Coach Woodson

    Would love if that rim protector is a stretch 5 on offense. Anyone see any possible portal players that would fit that?

    Fire Coach Woodson

    Regardless, I think we achieved something here. We didn't get what we wanted but you have to admit the fan pressure has rejuvenated Woodson and the team a bit. He is showing more emotion on the sideline and the players seem to be playing harder. If it truly led to the ultra rich boosters pledging more money to the NIL? That's a win. Maybe Scott's player only meeting was to make them aware of that, hence Chris' comments about the discussion involved other schools reaching out to them. If he can retain the "good" nucleus of this team and actually go get some high level guards, I think most would have a hard time saying they are not excited next year. Good news? This theory will get put to test very soon.

    Only thing I am worried about is if Auburn ups the ante and makes his son coach in waiting like Houston did for Kelvin Sampson. That would be hard to overcome. If that's the case, move on to option B, Scott Drew (purely my opinion on pecking order).

    Maybe the selection committee can do us a solid and put Auburn and FAU as a round of 32 matchup. Winner gets the IU job and sweet 16 appearance.

    IUBB vs Nebraska- Wednesday 2-21-24 8:30 PM BTN

    What's everyone think about Woodson chest bumping/charging Galloway and looking like he wanted to k*** him? In case you didn't see it, it happened when Galloway played lazy defense and the Steph Curry wannabe had a wide open layup in the second half. I will say it did seem to work as Galloway spent the rest of the game chasing him hard but that was the most intense I've ever seen Woody.

    Jeez. Scratch everything I said above lol. Help is indeed not on the way.

    (2024) PF - Derik Queen to Maryland

    Regardless of your feelings on Woodson, IU is on track to put their 2 best bigs in the NBA in back to back years. That is attractive to any post player. Then you add the benefit of playing with one of your best friends in McNeely and playing with Malik who is another Montverde alum and it all makes sense as to why IU is thought to be the leader. That's not even taking into account NIL and IU has to be the leader out of Maryland and Houston. I don't think Kansas is possible with them having Flory and the possibility of Dickinson returning.

    (2024) PF - Derik Queen to Maryland

    Don’t have Peegs sub but reading the Twitter replies to the article sounds pretty good for IU. Seems he mentioned Ware going pro or not as a deciding factor. Would make sense as to why he hasn’t announced anything yet and one would assume this could be a good thing for IU. If anyone read the article and got something different from it, please correct me.

    IUBB vs Iowa - Tuesday, 01.30.24 @ 7:00 on BTN

    Man we really needed that win. Proud of the guys. I think some want us to spiral out of control and that would’ve been likely if they lose that with the 2 injuries. Feel terrible for X and think it would be a good thing if IU fans send uplifting tweets at him or something. Already seen a couple saying we’ll be better with X out and that’s terrible. Keep that **** to yourself.

    General Coach Candidate News

    Very true but you’d be shocked at how a pay raise can entice people. $6 mill a year plus heavy bonuses sounds pretty good.

    General Coach Candidate News

    Mark me down for Scott Drew or Tommy Lloyd if the change is this season. Or write a blank check to Dan Hurley. If it’s next year/beyond, I could may be convinced on Dusty May.

    *RANT HERE*

    It's a 2 way street. Yes, we could've and should've gotten at least 1 more guard in the portal. But looking at it from the portal players perspective, why would they come to IU where the 1 & 2 minutes are 90% taken by 2 seniors? Portal players are in the portal for a reason, mainly that reason is for more playing time.
  25. His first name is in red and last name is in blue. Makes ya think even more....
