Class of '66 Old Fart

"I believe in Coach Woodson and his plan." Impressive statement from a young man we were concerned we might lose.

Has Brunk officially acknowledged he's returning?

4 seniors planning to return for their 5th year. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/4/2/womens-soccer-not-done-yet-four-seniors-to-return-for-fifth-year.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3obbsVMFr6sqdcOFzyqazKLPjjUPdiYMwaEyqfRq7gdQIdhSkOS1GfQFg

Darn you Mike. I was hoping my comment would slip by you. At least I know I am an "anyone"!

I remember seeing plenty of commentary as the season unfolded that the '21s shouldn't be sitting around waiting too long for that "better" offer. In this case, you snooze, you lose.

Chanel Wilson enters the portal. Saw very limited action this year (30 min.) and thus unlikely to see much more next season.

I think there's a natural tendency to make too much of some of these kinds of articles and the comments recruits/commits may make because we're so invested in the program. Fact is, few targets, etc., are probably following The Daily Hoosier and will never see Logan's comments.

Iowa's Luka Garza has been named AP National Player of the Year, per release. Michigan's Juwan Howard has been named AP National Coach of the Year, per release.

Everybody's commented on worst losses in terms of specific games and no one has brought up that Archie "lost" Grant Gelon and how his 3-point prowess may have benefited the team.

Another story on Duncomb remaining committed IU and includes lots of quotes from him regarding his conversation with Woody. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/logan-duncomb-sold-on-mike-woodson-reaffirms-commitment-to-indiana/?fbclid=IwAR2ngh2nwFUcHarQXRak9aBCcVFuhb2M6jW2Rb_6X36uAi8iAIqLnwgx7ws

Indiana Track & Field is headed down to the Sunshine State this weekend to compete at the first of two neutral site Big Ten meets. Competition will get started on Friday, Apr. 2 and finish on Saturday Apr. 3. The meet will take place on the campus of North Florida. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/4/1/track-and-field-indiana-track-field-heads-south-for-weekend-two.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2aLkh4QtcwRzKl79tGsPsvLCmjSVze7iYazIQotvGm_KeMXApNXqTgSnQ

I'm not sure I'll be able to catch it but for those that do, listen for Lewis using 'I' and 'we' if they talk at all about IU.

Washington averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 49.1% from the field, 79.2% at the free-throw line and 40.0% on 3-pointers. He also anchored West Side's defense with 27 blocks. Don't let his somewhat pedestrian ppg throw you. West Side was a very balanced scoring team.

Program note before we get too involved in talking about Braden Smith in this thread, he already has his own thread.

Following any legendary coach is a tough act to follow and even though it's UNC, I'm sure there are some that simply would not be interested in being Roy's successor. Following an Archie Miller not so much.

We have not offered. Really don't think we expressed a whole of interest in him until Archie was terminated and then reports are we ramped up contact with Smith.

DePaul has agreed to a five-year deal to hire Oregon's Tony Stubblefield as its next head basketball coach.

West Side's consensus five-star prospect Jalen Washington named Indiana Junior All-Star https://www.nwitimes.com/high-school/west-side/west-sides-consensus-five-star-prospect-jalen-washington-named-indiana-junior-all-star/article_5b3ec276-6948-5d56-8bde-360825bf3dc5.html?fbclid=IwAR0EeDP1wRGbtpBzRB-jN7aIsKaNx5PDUJixuDZSSWaT6PuVQwGPYtWd0F8

I will be a skeptic on this all day long. I can't believe for a minute that this kind of an announcement would be made on April Fool's Day.

Mixed emotions for me. Really liked him in high school and disappointed we never seemed to take much interest in him. Injury history is always a concern for me and I truly don't know how he'd fit in Woody's offense.

I think we need an equivalent of a swear jar on btb. Anyone who mentions Brad Stevens has to put a quarter in the jar and we'll have a helluva party watching IU play in next year's NCAA under Coach Woodson.

Believe only half of what you hear and read today and ignore the other half.
