Hoosier_Hatchet

Appreciate all the great info and hub that is here for IU womens basketball talk. Got to believe the coaching staff is considering transfer options in for next year. Would think they someone looking to be on a national title contending team would give us a look. Are there any free sites out there that provide who is in the womens portal?

I live here now. Not from here.

Here's his chat responses in the last 24 hours...

What would cause him the most grief on Twitter? If we (IU twitter fanbase) collectively worked together, we would really trouble him. Block him? Unfollow him? Any other ideas?

There's lots to choose from out there....Marcus Carr, Xavier Johnson, Caleb Love. We will be fine (not to borrow a phrase from our former coach) if Parker and Armaan choose elsewhere.

I think all of those guys could be leveraged for recruiting purposes. But, I'm not sure any of them are big time college basketball assistants. I would think we would want to surround Woody with assistants who have experience on the recruiting trail. Kenya Hunter seems like a no brainer to keep on board with his recruiting ties and abilities. He would have the east coast recruiting ties. I think an assistant with Indiana/midwest ties would be next. Next, I really think we need an assistant who would be our defensive coordinator so to speak. Woody seems to be the offensive guru. I think we need someone that could bring an expertise on defense to his staff. I'm softening to the idea of Woodson. I think smart hires for assistant coaches could give us a pretty strong staff.

Yeah....my 13 year old daughter is like...."dad...you're surprised he picked the Celtics over lowly IU". Damn....to see the world through that generation's eyes. Got to get someone in here to show these kids what IU basketball can be.

Thanks for the info from the insiders on this board. Its appreciated from me! I hope you guys keep sharing. Does this suck? No doubt, but we move on. Our social media presence has to be one of moving on to the next target. We will scare away people if they think we only wanted Brad. Who knows, with the numbers being thrown around this week....there may be some candidates we didn't even think of that might be interested in getting PAID!

I was the same way. I totally underestimated how valuable his time with the IU Varsity Club and being a fundraiser was to his role as AD. Relationships, trust, and the ability to raise big time dollars with our big time donors....HUGE! And.....he wants IU basketball to be the best it can be.

He is so friendly and personable to his customers. He came up to my table a few months after he opened, and I had my wife and kids with me, and I said...."guys, this is an IU legend" (after my wife assumed it was just some old guy working at a fast food restaurant). Laz talked to us for a few minutes, and gave my kids signed cards of his SI cover from 75. Pretty cool experience.

Doubt it....might impact her desire to be on the Butler BOT.

Again, if true (taking Isiah to Boston to close the deal)....Dolson just keeps making incredible moves on this deal. He's not messing around. Legendary moves being made. Chills!

At some point Stevens has to have a conversation with Ainge, right? No way, he can keep a secret through the end of a season...especially if speculation is running wild that he is leaving to coach IU.
