If so, kinda seems like it could be a next step of a process/plan. 1. Dolson knows he’s got the next guy he wants in the bag. 2. Start getting more word out from multiple outlets that moving on from Woodson sounds more and more like the better route to go. The more negativity that surrounds him with the program as coach, the more the right people behind the decisions go “ok we better do this.” Of course, this is me saying this based off if the speculation of Dolson doing that is true.

I’m hoping after Auburn wins in the first round of the tournament, they interview Pearl discussing the win against whatever team they played against, and then at the very end he adds something like “…oh, and Go Hoosiers” with some sort of a wink. Then we’ll know…

Well yeah, absolutely. If it’s 100% fact that Dolson has done what it takes to have Bruce Pearl wanting and able to be here next year then you make the move and know that one way or the other Woodson will be gone. If I were to guess they make it be a good send off retirement thing and the players try like heck to send him out on a good note. If by chance Woodson doesn’t wanna play along with the whole retirement thing and not make the transition pretty, then that’s on him and we fire him if that’s what it takes. Dolson knows this is about the future trajectory of the program, and Woodson’s not it.

With as much traction and smooth movement we seem to have gotten with BP, I figured there’d be more speak/rumored on the Auburn side of things. One of their forums has a thread about the possibility of BP leaving and it only has 4 pages…Boooorring….haha

I’m fine with getting Bruce in here for 5-7 years to energize the program while Dusty spends time at another high major program for those 5-7 years proving himself. Then when Pearl decides to hang it up, we bring in Dusty.

Ive also seen that apparently, BP isn’t a fan of Under Armour, which is who Auburn has, and it’s been said that Pearl’s #1 preferred apparel company is Adidas because of their NIL program structure….hmmm, I might know a school that could help him out with that.

If Dolson pulls this off, my excitement/anticipation level for IU basketball will shoot through the freakin roof. Even though this program has seen its obvious moments of greatness, this move would almost seem surreal for some reason.

I’m interested in knowing if our top guy is actually making Quinn go “you know what, that’d be a great get, let’s do it. I’ll talk to Woody”, or if Dolson is doing this completely bypassing Quinn’s thoughts on the matter.

So then really, yeah, who cares what the wins/loses look like the rest of the way. If your top guy is a go then you make the move.

Right, I mean I get it. It definitely is hard to have faith in this administration, but it just feels like this could be different. If Dolson happens to think he’s got a guy in the bag, or at least heading smoothly in that direction then you’ve GOT to make the move. I think the comments Dolson said when he fired Allen to get Cignetti relate to the basketball program as well. Looking toward the outlook of the future, setting up for long term success, etc. Again, this is mostly wishful thinking on my part and will certainly not be surprised if we find out they let Woodson return. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. …or Chris could come on here and be like nevermind guys, he’s back now, and I go throw something lol

I will say, this does seem like it could be a “regardless of outcome” type of thing, so I’m not really sweating the W

Maybe the players now know Woodson is going to “retire” after the season and are just in the middle of trying to send him out on a high note. Maybe player meeting with Dolson was letting them know what was going on and saying hey if anyone is thinking about leaving, just hold up and see what we end up doing here before you make a decision. Just seems weird how we went on a streak of them seeming like they don’t give a crap to now this the last couple games. I obviously have no idea if this is the case or not, but just something I thought of.

Saw on the other site that Trilly said Dolson met with some notable former players today and their message to him was that they want Woodson gone.

Gosh now at this point with all the stuff that has gotten out already about him most likely being gone and the whole Pearl stuff, HOPEFULLY this new word being said about them planning on having him back is to just hush the noise around everything until the season ends.

So now we gotta wonder if Auburn is gonna try to match that number…and maybe Pearl wouldn’t even be interested even if they do.

Is that a specific amount one would be hearing?

That’s kinda what I’m thinking/hoping. He could be a trolly Trilly out in the open public on X, but as far as a paid private discord, could be a different story.

Is it a newly constructed building? Like, without any humps?

Appreciate it

That’s what I’m trying to figure out ha…someone else posted that he said something new about us that was positive but didn’t say what.

Ok, so is Trillys positive note he just dropped about us on his discord new info that has yet to be mentioned on this board I’m assuming?

Just have Ware come back to be the point guard. If Woody is back he’ll just have a handful of other big guys that can take Ware’s place down low.

Yep, me too. Give me Dusty May with IU’s resources at his disposal over what we are seeing out of Woodson. Dusty could get McNeeley to stay on board and get the ‘25 guys who are in wait and see mode to commit already. Sisley doesn’t want to play in Woodson’s system and i don’t wanna see him drop 30 on us at Purdue. I guess my question would be, would Dolson consider Dusty as one of those “proven coaches” to lock up and move on with?
