I agree! But in a way though, with the conference tournaments in place, all the schools do participate in the dance since the winner of the conference tournament advances... Sent from my SM-F926U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

I get it. Emotions drive a lot of opinions in sports. There is part of me that would never want LeBron James on the Pacers because I don't particularly care for him. However, if he ever did play for the Pacers I would be all in and I wouldn't particularly care if they had to trade one of my favorite players to get him. I want the best players on my teams that play their hardest a d give us the best chance to win....regardless of what their past was like or how I view them as a person. Note: I am not comparing Brooks to LeBron James as players. Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm not sure why there is so much negative talk about Brooks. He obviously came out of high school as a highly regarded talent. Why couldn't his college career just be a "fit" situation? Much like Justin Smith. Justin seemed to thrive at his new school. If Brooks is available and wants to come and Woodson sees how he would contribute to winning...you take him and make it work. No one would have cared one bit when Archie was struggling to win if he would have taken a Brooks type player and pushed someone else out of it potentially meant more wins.

In general, I think system, coaching, and confidence building will make more if a difference than getting any one player. Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

We are getting an announcement every hour....what will be the 6:30 announcement? Assistant coach or player coming back? Crazy times. Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

I am not really sure that we are in the best position to turn away talented players that want to come here. I say, if Brooks wants to come, sign him up. If our other guys don't come out of the portal and go elsewhere, he might end up being a great pickup... Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

Tom Crean will love this... Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

Anyone starting to check flights for assistant coaches? Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

I know it may not matter to some, but once fans can be in the stands again, maybe we will see Knight make regular appearances at games? Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

Bottom line.....Woodson WANTS to be here. It's not the money, it's not prestige. He just wants what we all want out if Indiana basketball. Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app

What if Stevens would have taken the last 4 years off? Would people want him now? What if Andrew Luck wanted to come out of retirement? Would teams want to pick him up? I don't think Matta has forgotten how to coach. Questions about his health are valid, however, he knows how to win, knows how to run a program, etc. Sent from my SM-F916U1 using BtownBanners mobile app
