Correct but there's still to because Brunk doesn't count if he comes back. 1. Phinisee 2. Hunter 3. TJD 4. Lander 5. Leal 6. Galloway 7. Thompson 8. Geronimo 9. Stewart 10. Franklin 11. Duncomb 12. Available 13. Available 14. Brunk - doesn't count

Parker took up a scholarship the minute he stepped foot on campus. He's not taking up anything more than what he already was.

Well Lewis is already in Indy and Fife could fly or drive for that matter. Someone hinted in the peegs chat at one point like 3 days ago that Fife flew down to Bloomington but I never saw a flight that confirmed that so who knows if it was true or not. I do know Fife has talked with Woodson to some extent so maybe he really is looking for houses in Bloomington.

The did but sometimes when a kid actually moves 14 hours away families don't like it once it actually happens. I'd say they need to get used to it if he wants to play professionally some day but everyone handles things like that differently.

No

Rabby said that IU is willing to pay for assistants and support staff more now than they ever have so I could see them throwing some raises at Fife and Lewis to see if they can draw them back along with other candidates.

It looks like Fife makes about $340,000 a year at Michigan State.

Yes, technically Brunk could count as a 14th because he is a senior that would be coming back to IU. If Brunk doesn't come back then it will drop to 13 like normal.

His family wants him closer to home and when the season ended it was almost certain that he was leaving. However after meeting with Woodson Rabby said that Woodson gave him some things to seriously think about. So it's possible he could decide to come back.

Which assistant coach candidate will we be hearing about?

Now back to the regular program of MIKE WOODSON AND THAD MATTA

Maybe that's the case but I just don't like how with the Celtics it always leaks out about how they "almost got so and so" or they "didn't really want so and so" just to make themselves look better. When in reality all it does is make him look like he doesn't want to improve the roster without fleecing the other team.

I will update this list as guys re commit, commit, or transfer out. 1. Rob Phinisee 2. Parker Stewart 3. Anthony Leal 4. Trey Galloway 5. Jerome Hunter 6. Joey Brunk 7. Logan Duncomb 8. Trayce Jackson-Davis TBD Jordan Geronimo Race Thompson Armaan Franklin Khristian Lander

I doubt he was forced to stay and the truth is probably someplace in the middle. With that though I know you are a Celtics fan and have close ties having worked their but Ainge is a snake when it comes to making trades and improving the roster and that's why they are struggling in Boston. I don't trust him and hate the way he plays teams in the media when his fleecing attempts don't work. With that said Mike Woodson is IU's coach for the next several years so I think we can move on from any Stevens talk for at least another 5 or 6 years minimum. If Matta's still around and Brad's kids are older then maybe Matta can hire Brad a second time and Brad can finally return home and take a crack at his dream job. He can deny it in the press conference but at some point he will want to try and tackle his dream he had when he was a younger coach even if the timing wasn't right this time for whatever reason.

I have a gut feeling that Hunter and Roberts may have had their hands tied a bit on what they were able to do under Archie so I'll let Woody, Matta, and Dolson make those decisions since they have a better grasp on guys coaching abilities.

There's a guy that popped in the peegs chat a couple days ago and said that all of a sudden since Woodson has been hired Chris Livingston has IU much higher on his list of schools/pro options now. Who knows if it's true but it's interesting.

It's possible. Rabby has stated he could stay on in a player development role and he could stay on as assistant #3 if other candidates don't work out. I would assume he's still going to be doing something or else he would've likely moved on already.

I've seen people say this but not a single person has given an explanation.

That’s definitely not Garl

Nope, he’s still living in Chicago for a while because he still can’t find a suitable horse farm.

Mike Roberts was at the team meeting today as well. So I’d imagine he will be back in some capacity.

We’ll see what happens. I don’t know if I buy this one but I hope it’s accurate. I also hope that all of Peegs and Rabby’s hinting at Lewis comes through too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Fife and Lewis both end up coming back.

That’s it. Just a rumor at this point but I like it so I’m rolling with it.

There is a rumor that a man named Dane Fife called a builder in Bloomington within the last day or so about houses.
