Jay went from my favorite commentator to my least favorite one in the last year or so. He just whines all the time!!

I see both sides. The players say "Well, the coach can leave and not sit right away!" I understand why say Texas Tech players are upset right now. However I think it sends a terrible message. Any adversity and you can run the other way. I think there needs to be a middle ground: You get to transfer one time without sitting out. The next time, you sit out regardless of the circumstance. The reason I love college basketball is seeing players join as freshman and leave as seniors. For the most part that happens at IU. I hope it stays that way.

I'm not surprised if it becomes permanent. I think a one time transfer rule without sitting out a year would be best. If you want to transfer a third time, you have to sit out. The problem is there are too many scholarships (13). I see a lot of teams usually play on average 8 guys at the end of the season. That leaves 5 kids unhappy. It's almost impossible to get those kids to buy in.

Pretty good for a 6'9 kid.

I don't know much about Washington. Can anyone fill me in on his game? Can he shoot? Feel he and CJ are the only 2022 in-state guys.

I'm more open to everyone coming back now that there are two spots. I thought there was just one.

Crazy. Roy retires and Texas hires Chris Beard. Anything else? TJD gonna announce he's coming back?

If it's a UNC guy it would be Wes Miller.

Interesting time in college basketball. Lots of successful programs have coaches on the way out soon..Duke, Michigan State, Syracuse to name some.

haha I wish that someone would do this today. Couldn't you see Goodman going on his twitter claiming Renko is a 5 star recruit?

It is not easy to replace a legend...we all know this. UNC had two coaches before Roy and it didn't workout.

UNC has had two of the best coaches 56 of the last 60 years. Almost like Green Bay having Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers back to back. Going to be real interesting to see what happens to their program.

Seeing Roy Williams has retired..not sure if that is an April Fools joke or not.

Thanks to those who cleared that up for me...one more question. Does everyone get an extra year? Let's say after next season Phinisee wants to play one more season. Can he?

So are there 13 scholarships still this year? If everyone comes back that leaves I think one spot. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if everyone returned. That tells you they believe in Woodson. But I kind of hope he can bring in a couple guys from the transfer portal.

Interesting. It seemed he was one that was leaving. I listened to Woodson with Dakich and Greenburg on the way to work today. Woodson made it obvious he wanted everyone back but also said he isn't waiting around. Someone replied to me yesterday and they were right-Woody is basically saying get on board or get overrecruited.

Any others outside of Lander close to coming back?

My guess is Dane Fife and Lander??

Indiana State. I was there. Not fun..

Have to feel Lander is next based on his tweet.

I think my favorite part of the hire is the national media hates it. They are wrong on everything so I feel good about this! I was worried about recruiting but Dakich sold me on his ability to recruit. He was involved in NBA free agency. That is pretty much recruitment.

Good deal. His first little victory. I assume Stewart stays. Keep TJD along with Lander and/or Franklin. That would be big.

Yes. It works. Having 11 scholarship players meant IU couldn't do that. Not sure it would have mattered this year since everyone gets an extra year but ideally someone like Leal would've benefitted from it.

I really hope he can keep the guys who don't play as much involved. One thing I wish they would use is the redshirt year.

I think this could be the starting lineup. Lander, Franklin (if he returns), Stewart, Hunter, TJD. I'm really curious to see how deep Woodson's bench is. The trend seems to be a 7-8 guy rotation.
