Mike Woodson said that Mike Woodson is not done with the portal! I like it

Oklahoma State and assistant coach Cannen Cunningham after 2 seasons.

No, not everything I get is from there. I just share what I find interesting from there.

Rabby hasn't said anything about Locke.

Kenya is trying to get IU in the mix for Locke.

He could get out of it. Xavier Johnson did when he signed with Nebraska and wanted to go to Pitt after Hunter left.

He refers to Jabari Smith as his nephew on twitter and it says in a post on there that Smith planned to go to Alabama and play but that didn't work out so he committed to Auburn. That would be my first guess.

This is pure speculation on my part but it wouldn't surprise me if Rosemond brought a 2021 5* with him.

Not many available at this point and the ones that are it's way to late to jump in on unless there is a decommit with a school having a coaching change.

No and he's not my first choice but IU does need to have some size and Brunk isn't a guarantee. Reuvers has shown some ability to shoot so with the right coach and system he might be able to develop an even better jumper.

As a rotation big since Brunk isn't a guarantee and he has produced in the B1G. Not my first choice but he wouldn't be the worst option either.

I know he said he's going pro but I would contact Nate Reuvers if I was on the IU staff and he if Woodson could give him the development for professional basketball talk.

As he should be

I think the reason for Rosemond is to open doors for Woody in the west and south. His area doesn't overlap Lewis and Fife. Once the door is open then Woody will be the closer.

Just waiting on the Yasir Rosemond announcement.

I agree but speculating on guys that haven't been connected at all is kind of pointless. With Brooks there is something going on I just don't know what so I'm not getting excited because he already played IU once. Even the UK people are starting to think he's leaving.

Yes that is true but... HE'S NOT COMING TO INDIANA UNIVERSITY. THERE HAS BEEN ZERO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO SINCE HE ENTERED THE PORTAL!

I would trust Kenya on this one. I'm almost positive he has to be the one that reached out to Nickelberry. Who knows what level of interest IU has anyway.

I think a wing and a big make the most sense. The big would likely just be a role player though because I doubt any big names would come to take a back seat. I wouldn't mind a Brooks, Easley, or Kopp addition either for that wing spot.

I'm still not buying the ketchup talk. That bottle of Brooks seemed to expire on 3/15/19.

Transfer portal players that IU has had reported contact with. Xavier Johnson - Committed to IU Noah Gurley - Cut IU from his list Jalen Cone - Committed to Northern Arizona Wendell Green Jr - Unlikely since Johnson committed Josh Nickelberry - I think everyone else is speculation at this point. It's possible I missed one or two.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Woody uses more lineups based on match ups. Sometimes play big and sometimes play small. I think Leal could be a surprise off of the bench in a Zeisloft type role. Mike Woodson likes him some shooters.

Paul Lusk is returning to Purdue to be an assistant for Painter.

I will update this list as guys re commit, commit, or transfer out. Woody and company now have 2 available scholarships to play with and no players left in the portal. 1. Rob Phinisee 6'1 2. Parker Stewart 6'5 3. Anthony Leal 6'5 4. Trey Galloway 6'4 5. Jerome Hunter 6'7 6. Joey Brunk 6'11 7. Logan Duncomb 6'9 8. Trayce Jackson-Davis 6'9 9. Khristian Lander 6'2 10. Jordan Geronimo 6'6 11. Race Thompson 6'8 12. Xavier Johnson 6'3 13. TBD 14. TBD

Mike was with Kayel at UNCG for all 4 years so I'd say there has to be on some level.
