Rabby has all but said his list on peegs is the list that Woodson is looking at.

There needs to be some restrictions and rules or else this is going to turn into a few for all. Then again the NCAA isn’t the smartest so they’ll probably let it be a free for all because Jay Billas says it should be.

Smith

He’s been at both meetings so I’m guessing he’ll be around in some capacity.

Maybe IU is waiting to announce Lewis and Fife together or Woodson hasn’t finished sorting through his assistant options yet. There could be any number of reasons and sometimes things like this can take a few days.

No, but he hasn’t declared for the draft or entered the portal.

I mean he could just be there scouting for the Knicks if he ever actually shows up at Assembly Hall.

Don’t think anyone knows that yet.

Nothing has been announced but since he’s been at the meetings I’m assuming he’ll be back as long as he’s healthy.

Might already be happening if the rumors about IU getting interest from Chris Livingston are true.

The shoe company AAU team won't matter. I've heard that if IU offers it's almost certain he's going to IU.

There's chatter that a walk on has told people the players are waiting to see who the assistants will be.

GPP is the Under Armour program for the state and they mostly practice and stuff at the Pacers Athletic Center at Grand Park in Westfield. They will play in all the big Under Armour events so it's not as big of a drop off as you'd expect. Now the one big difference is the history and alumni of the program. Braden will get plenty of attention at the Under Armour events as long as coaches are allowed to attend which the way the NCAA is working they probably won't.

'Yes, he can't seem to stick at school.

Here is the difference about both Fife and Lewis. They are both IU guys that love IU. They want to see IU get back to being great and probably would like to be a part of that. IF they would be able to then they would find their names in the mix for several head coaching jobs and they might not even have to go the mid major route. There could also be an added benefit for them as well of working with Matta in case a job at a certain Big East job opens up in a couple years that Matta has connections to and there aren't any head coaching candidates in house at that school right now. As for Fife he is not the head coach in waiting at MSU and he knows that he's not. So that is not a reason that he would stay at MSU. GO GET THEM BOTH. Thanks for coming to my TED TALK!

DD only mentioned the Woody hire to Woodson at the end of the segment. After Lewis got off the line DD said he would not be surprised if Lewis ends up on the staff at IU. DD is thinking just like most of us on that one.

I feel like if scouting and recruiting was normal over the last year he would be much higher on the boards of some schools. I know that we don't currently have an answer for him.

So Criss Beyers? Smith lit them up for 30 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds.

I don't disagree I just know that's the situation and I don't see it changing at this point. That said they don't have a schedule or roster posted on their website yet so maybe there's some stuff going on behind the scenes.

He's been doing that since before Woodson got hired in interviews. He loves IU and still considers himself a Hoosier even while coaching at a different school. So I don't think that will be much of a tell.

His dad

There's a flight scheduled today from Georgetown, Texas to Bloomington. Georgetown is 27 miles from Austin. Is KT Turner inbound to B-Town?

That makes sense. I misunderstood that. His current GPP coach might have an issue with that though.

Moving the Braden Smith stuff over here but he plays for Grand Park Premier and not Indiana Elite.

So Chris Beard went to Texas. Dolson was smart to focus on other options.
