Really interesting question. Was it some new high dollar donors who were glad Woody was gone or did the Woody donors maintain their financial support realizing it was for the good of the program?

Another kid who had an IU offer. From Peoria, IL. Iowa freshman Cooper Koch has entered the transfer portal. The 6’8” forward appeared in 10 games due to injury. Koch averaged 4.6 PPG, and 2.1 RPG.

Wonder if the Purdue AD is kicking himself for extending Katie Geralds Jayla Smith the latest to announce she's portaling. 6' guard originally played at Lawrence North HS. No real loss for them as she was a bench player her whole time at PUke and only appeared in 2 games this past season.

Purely for trivia - Hopkins had an IU offer from Archie way back in 6/2019.

Portal officially opens on the 24th and should start hearing lots of names from players whose teams got bounced in the first round of the tournament.

Iowa guard Josh Dix is entering the transfer portal, he tells @On3sports. The 6-6 junior averaged 14.4 points per game this season, shooting 42% from three.

Before the announcement Christian Watford had posted some tweets lobbying for Will Wade. But since the announcement he's posted several tweets supporting the DeVries hire.
