Everything I'm hearing from the last few weeks is the staff is really high on Jordan Geronimo. He has impressed in workouts. Guessing he will get a run at a lot of minutes. Also, Fife loves Trey which I think we already knew.

I particularly liked this at the end: Coming from the NBA, Mike Woodson knows how to get someone to play at the highest level and knows the type of development needed. He also knows that Johnson has a lot of the tools necessary to help IU get to the next level. It's not a manager's job, it's not a GA's job, it's me and my coaching staff's job to get them to develop," Woodson said. "I've always done it that way. I've always liked being on the floor and working with our players, that's just what I do... These guys are going to get a lot of hands on from coach Woodson.

Devonte Green did an interview with the Assembly Call and when Jerod asked him who he thought would thrive in Woodson’s offense, he picked Hunter and Race. He specifically said that Race is a good shooter who can definitely make that outside shot as a stretch 4. Stuck out to me because a lot of people have questioned if Race fits with this new offense. Devonte also said that generally guys didn’t feel comfortable shooting under CAM because they’d get berated about it. Very interesting pair of interviews with him.

Will take an official visit to Indiana! I’m really hyped about this! Love everything I’ve seen about this kid. Very versatile game for a 6’10 PF. And this staff could answer some questions very quickly by continuing recruiting momentum into the 2022 class. Prove that recruiting will be fine, silence the doubters.

Lander’s father Keith told The Daily Hoosier last month that a set oriented offense under Miller that involved the point guard dribbling at the top of the key while the play unfolded felt foreign to his son. When the family sat down with Mike Woodson and watched film on how the new head coach wants his point guards to play, there was a collective epiphany. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-mike-woodson-believes-khristian-lander-has-solid-foundation-to-build-from/?fbclid=IwAR26lsb923EQVDas4NHkAL6AMfhXat6lKZ-iauJXco8MPxiM4IS-hSQsCv8

Not too surprising...clearly they are going after someone else. On another note, that '18 class is probably the most disappointing since "The Movement".

Minnesota is what Jeff Goodman hoped IU would be this upcoming season.

Isaac Green joins staff as a Graduate Assistant. https://www.vavel.com/en-us/ncaa/2021/05/11/college-basketball/1070912-green-joins-coach-woodsons-staff-at-indiana.html

First Tom Crean purged the Mark Fox players. Now Tom Crean is purging the Tom Crean players.

A roster crunch with 9 players transferring out. Even by Crean standards that's kind of impressive.

I just saw that Stephen Carr from USC has entered the portal. He was a former 5 star (ranked 20th in the nation). I believe that Indiana has a good shot with his connect with Mcullough.

Can he convince Purdue to form a men’s soccer team so we can smack them around

From my understanding, it wasn't a good fit on our end.

BREAKING NEWS. UGA announces new corporate sponsor for men's basketball.

Sophomore DE Jaren Handy from Auburn announced his commitment to IU this afternoon. Nice pick-up for the d-line, former 4* from Mississippi with lots of SEC & ACC offers out of HS. Apparently Jaren is also Ty Fryfogle's cousin - small world?!

Both Gach becomes Minnesota's TENTH player to exit via the transfer portal. Gach averaged 15 ppg in non-conference play last year before he struggled in Big Ten (partially due to a foot injury) and ended the season averaging 7 points and 3.7 rebounds. The only player the Gophers retain is Isaih Ihnen, who averaged 2.8 points and 3.5 rebounds. They have added six players, mostly from low D1 teams. It will be interested to see how they play....it's basically a group that played decently at a lower level of ball but I think come big ten time, they are going to have a lot of trouble. Parker Fox 6'8" power forward (although some sources list him as just 6'6") averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds......but at the D2 level (Northern State). Jamison Battle (George Washington) is probably the best of the group, 6'6" forward who averaged 17 and 5 for a pretty bad George Washingotn team. Luke Loewe (William and Mary) averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists....but that was a big spike over what he had previously been doing and he did not shoot the ball well for a guard (Under 30% from three). E.J. Stephens (Lafayette) averaged 16 points and 5 rebounds. Sean Sutherlin (New Hampshire), 6'5" wing who can't shoot but is a hard nosed rebounder. Averaged 13 points and 9 rebounds. Payton Willis (Charleston), 6'4" guard, Played at Vanderbilt from 2016-8, transferred to Minnesota, played for the Gophers for a year after sitting out his transfer year, averaged 9 points, transferred to Charleston, averaged 13 and a half points per game. Is known as a shooter.

I’m not trying to brag guys buttttttt I was the loudest one there. . Being a New Yorker/ South American..... it’s my gift. Hugs all around.

Going to the match.IU was generous enough to give me a pair of tickets. Thank god I don’t have to jump fences again.

I’m really not trying to pile on Archie and I am still skeptical of Woodson but it’s mind boggling how quickly issues this team had for four years were addressed under the new regime.

I wonder how Brad Stevens feels about IU looking ok while the Celtics are currently in a free-fall.
