Add me to the list intrigued by Adam Howard's post.
I can't help but see it as nothing more than a staff member expressing optimism about the future of IU basketball, but I choose to be excited there's something more.

A few years back, word got out that South Carolina was looking to hire Kirby Smart as football coach. Smart, a Georgia alumnus, was an Alabama assistant at time and was seen as real up-and-comer. When Georgia heard of South Carolina's plans, they actually fired Mark Richt so they could hire Smart and not let him get away. 
In just a few days, I can see Dolson knocking on Woody's door: "Hey Mike, we need to have a little chat ..." 

LOL! 
 

Officially no. But confident in what I was told.

Good question. I’m not sure. I think sometimes the older crowd still thinks that every kid wants to come to IU

Just had a buddy buy some IU gear from Tamar Bates. I’m guessing he’s hitting the portal. I think Geronimo is going to.

Sorry that was me just starting a rumor. Kind of. If you see him in the portal today, then I think you will see him become a Hoosier. 

Mutual decision last month that this just wasn't working out for either of us. 

I fully agree. 
 
1 being Brad Stevens of course. 

He's my 1A right now with Schrews being 1B and Lewis being 2

May & Lewis are not comparable imo right now. May had had 5 winning seasons in a row at a school that doesn’t care about basketball. Lewis just finished his first winning season. 
 
As far as your question Woody will stay as long as Woody wants on his contract.

Whose main mentor is Mike Davis. Put them both back on the staff.

Does Caleb Furst count? I think if he ends up in the portal, he'll end up at IU ;-)

You're too focused on the "stars" or what people had hoped Bates and Geronimo were. The reality is both guys are one-dimensional players. 
Forget the rankings and the potential, and go get multi-skilled players that can do multiple things on both ends. 
That's what these teams still playing have. No, they don't have anyone with Bates "potential", but they have guys that can do a variety of things on both ends. Guys that can bit shots, create shots and are dawgs. 
Despite the potential and athleticism, that isn't Bates or Geronimo. 

Those players mentioned are in no way a lateral move.  That’s not even close.  They are far superior basketball players.

We're brining in at least 3 transfers probably more like 4

He clogs the lane too much for our fan base

I said it yesterday. I think a big man from up north is going to enter the portal and IU will have an interest. 

I've been known to put things in the wrong spot. :-)
