BTW, everybody seemed to think Lander's tweet had to do with the possible naming of a new coach. Has anybody entertained the possibility that it could be a portend to his entering the portal? 

Either that or him and ND Kendrick we’re actually happy about Thad Matta.

There goes the theory that our players aren't entering the transfer portal because they know a home run is already lined up.

At this point we have to hope the reason we haven’t heard anything is because the coach is still in the tourney

Brace yourselves--transfer portal is a way of life for ALL of college ball this year. Having a new coach will only exacerbate the issue.

The right coach though and we can get some great pieces could go either way. The thought of a bad shooting team losing its best shooter though isn't nice

This is why Mike Woodson may not be a good pick how can he get transfers if he has no connection to any of the kids who may be transferring. He may be great i don't know but the fact he has never recruited ever is concerning I know thats been discussed but were going to need some transfers this year to be competitive next season especially if Franklin leaves

He would have to find assistants that have connections and know how to recruit.

Look, if Im a kid who went through this last year or couple of years and can improve my position and have a fresh start in another program Im doing it. Last season couldnt have been much fun.

Parker Stewart into the transfer portal.

Not at all surprising.  Disappointing, but not surprising.  

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Al Durham

Armaan Franklin

Race Thompson

Parker Stewart

Jordan Geronimo

And.. we haven't heard the slightest peep about the coaching search. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

I think it will be hard to keep Jordan in Bloomington regardless of who the next coach is.

That's got Seton Hall or Rutgers written all over it! That is -- if players can transfer within the conference. Not sure what the rules are anymore.

I thought when he committed he said it was because he fell in love with Bloomington and the campus

[Honkyman]

It sounds like Jordan's parents are putting their foot down. I live on the East Coast. Most people here who follow college basketball think the IU basketball program is a total mess. Jordan's parents will likely push him to transfer to Rutgers.

I’ll get flack for this but I’m not saying this to be mean but has it always been a thing for mommy’s and daddy’s to talk to IU reporters? I’m absolutely stealing this from Dakich but it’s almost like it’s an AAU program. I guess that’s how it is now.

It really is annoying. Let the kids speak for themselves and stop going to parents for comments.

Part of it may be the IU medias fault. But I don't remember this being an issue until a few years ago.

This isn’t just an IU media thing this is how it is now and it’s been this way for a coupes years.    I’ve seen many interviews during the recruiting process where the parents control the coverage and then I’ve seen interviews with parents during the season of some of these players while they are playing.   Nature of the beast now
