This whole headcase description is not accurate. Sorry. His dad is a former D-1 player and great high school player helicopter parent type. But Keion Jr. is not a headcase. He gets good grades and plays hard. Is he great? That's debatable. Should IU crean someone? I wouldn't, Keion could have taken Koop's spot right? I would never kick off a player like Galloway for a transfer. Never. Galloway has flaws but played as a freshman and at times played well. He brought intensity and an aggression and attitude that was much needed. I like Brooks but if they only way to get him is to kick a guy off the team, I don't want him.

This here^^^^^ is what has been missing. There used to be a time when IU had guys who would bark at or bump chests with an opposing player instead of helping them up. That competitiveness and confidence is what the program needs in spades.

He's a freshman. I think we need to hold off on criticism of a guy who played well considering he was in over his head at times. He's shot will get better, so will his defense. Not sure if you meant overmatched? Nobody was rating his defense well. All freshman are going to have deficiencies, some more than others. This dude is going to be good.

I am sure if he wanted, he could/can be a preferred walk at any time.

Maxin' like Michael Jackson.

WOW! I thought him Armaan would be gone. This is really unbelievable.

Who is in this picture? TJD, Woody, Roberts?...

Good news on the way?

1. Who is taking this picture? 2. Name another school that would make such a big deal about an assistant? 3. Can you believe no one called him in 10 years?

I've been around the block and California is different. I lived there for 5+ years. It is way over taxed and has many, many issues (including driving constantly), but it's hard to beat when it comes to the outdoors. It has or is close to every type of environment you could want.

I want Lander and Franklin back. They both will be much improved with some confidence (and health).

Yeah, everyone thinks because his dad is Dale Davis that he is involved. I don't think he is. Sad but true. Glad he's back. This is a big, big, big deal.Should help keep guys and recruit others.

But were they getting stronger? Seems like a YUGE issue on the team was finishing at the rim. I can't recall seeing more missed point blank shots and layups in all my years.

Durham already declared to Providence. I think we'll find out in the next couple days where the rest of these guys stand.They're probably waiting to hear about Woody's staff.

So no rumors? As I recall @Chris007 knew about the Mike Roberts hire before anyone else. Any rumblings?

Hosting fishing shows. He's not a coach.

No one has to be happy with any hire, but the deed has been done. IMHO the assistant staff will be as important if not more so than ever before. So let's hope we get a good group. Hunter would be a steal if they kept him.

IDK about Payne. He had an opportunity to be Depaul's HC and declined. So I can't believe he'd rather be an assistant at IU, but I could be wrong.

Guessing, based on your account name, I'm pretty sure I know you and your brother. I graduated in '92, played tennis and baseball. My brothers and sister went to NSHS. Small world.

I assume you went to North Side based on your avatar? I did as well.

I see it the opposite. He's older so he'll just "retire" when the pitchforks come out. Matta hire is huge as will be his assistants.
