Well in that case all aboard the Mike Roberts as the DOBO train again lol

I know it was but I think that had more to do with the other schools chasing him and for recruiting purposes. My gut feeling is that Kenya and Mike got handcuffed and micro managed by Archie. Woody clearly has a role for Mike or he would already be gone and the fact that Larry Brown was talking about him a lot to Bozich was interesting to me.

They didn't officially announce Kenya was staying. That just got leaked to the media.

I know that deals and things do but I don't know why Larry Brown would be talking him up if he wasn't good at his job and in Woody's plans.

I guarantee that they know each other in one way or the other since both are from Indy. I guarantee that they've been in some kind of contact.

I really doubt that she likes that this IU staff is planning on clamping down on parents and social media.

Yes, and in the peegs chat occasionally.

Just guessing but I'd guarantee that Franklin has Kyle Guy in his ear about going to UVA.

I'm starting to think that Roberts will be the third assistant. I was just listening to 1070 the fan and they had Rick Bozich on and he said he talked to Larry Brown about IU and Woody. He said that Brown talked about Fife some and Roberts a lot. It makes me think Roberts is more respected and thought of in coaching circles than he is by fans. It also sounds like Brown will be around a lot in an unofficial capacity.

I work with athletes and have been around college athletes. I know how they think in most cases. If you haven't noticed his mom does like the attention on social media.

Minnesota is the only school that's a real consideration I think but that's a strong draw to go back home.

Did I say Franklin. NO

It might not be him exactly that's dragging this out. In most cases the athletes like getting attention from coaches even if it's not from social media and press.

It's been pretty quiet. Maybe Locke but Rabby has said that there are guards and wings that IU is talking to and they are listening. Nothing more than that though right now.

They like the attention

Somebody has to score on a bad team. I agree he was good but if people take off the crimson colored glasses he's not irreplaceable. If you look at the transfer market rankings he's not thought of that highly in those either.

There are guys out there that can replace that. We'll see what Woody and company do and who develops.

He knows him but he's also tired of his click bait crap about IU. He basically said as much on DD's show this week.

Not officially from the University but it was leaked to the media.

Rabby has also said it's trending that Race may come back.

TJD is one of his best friends, Woody has a relationship with Brooks Sr, and I'm sure Dane has a relationship of some sort with him since MSU recruited him and he was at several of Jr's games in high school. If he leaves UK that would be a few reasons IU would be in the mix right away.

Franklin averaged 11 ppg on a 12 win team. He was good not great. He can be replaced and IU is still talking to other capable guards that are interested. IU will be just fine.

I'm starting to think so. Although they've been listed on there ever since Archie got fired and it hasn't been changed so I don't know if I'd look to much into it until there is an announcement.

That’s Fantastic!!!

He can stay at Purdue. I wasn't impressed with the State Championship game and the Leo kid looked taller and is listed at 6'7 by his schools roster.
