    In your opinion, what does TV do to it? I can’t think of any way for it to be redeemable lol. 

    It may not be esthetically pleasing in this pic or on TV but if you saw while on the floor at Matthew Knight Arena it's actually very cool. I think IU fans would love this entire building and court. But trust me, I thought it looked silly before moving here. To each his own though.

    Sure seems that way.  Would be interesting to see how the practices go with TJD, Race, Duncomb, and Reneau.  I imagine if Duncomb isn't in line for regular PT by Junior season he may look for PT.  

    I could see Duncomb making a move to Xavier or UC at some point for PT.   Especially if Wes Miller or Sean Miller has success.

    After not transferring out this off season why would he consider it next season. He knows the rotation this season isn't changing and stayed, so he appears in it for the long haul which is what we want. Keep in mind he was a solid 4 star recruit and got the best of Kaleb Furst in HS. The potential is clearly there. Now if a freshman comes in next year that reclassified up and is better prepared for the B1G then maybe Duncomb is out of his league and transfers. Don't see it happening or a need to speculate at this point.

    Not saying those guys won’t go pro but according to Givony on ESPN the only one getting drafted in either round is TJD. Ayo and Kofi aren’t even projected. So unless they hire agents they could come back. I haven’t heard if they’re hiring agents. 

    NBAdraft.net has Ayo going 22nd and Cockburn 52nd. No chance Ayo doesn't go and I'll be surprised Cockburn stays either.

    He literally checks zero of the boxes. Well, I guess he checks the “played basketball 40+ years ago for Bob Knight” box. He’s 62 years old and never coached at the college level or recruited in his life. 

    Recruiting is about connections and building relationships and Woodson is phenomenal on both fronts. Assistants can help him with the rest of recruiting. High ranked kids look for a way to make the NBA (see Juwan Howard). And Indiana wants a coach that plays more of an NBA style.

    No, he's really not an intriguing choice. Coached over 600 games in the NBA and won well under 50%. Hard pass, no thanks. Next.

    Really should look at the context. His first year with the Hawks was one of the worst teams in NBA history and won 13 games. They improved, especially offensively every season.

    This isn't gospel, but Woj has tweeted that Woodson made his pitch (with Larry Brown as an assistant) and that IU is "uninterested." 

    Really? Woj is reliable but IU being uninterested seems odd. Perhaps they have already made a decision going another direction. Either way sounds optimistic we here something in the next couple of days.

    Were Matta's struggles in his last few years all health related? Is he going to be healthy to recruit in person full-time?

    His pain was severe. It's hard to mentally and emotionally be your best when you physically hurt enough. As far as health specifics now only Matta truly knows. If he says he is ready that's the best you can know.
