Player decisions

[RatpigHoosier]

Although I love Race because of his effort game-in and game-out, I get the feeling that he just wouldn’t fit a more open offensive approach. If he showed a greater propensity for hitting 15-footers I would love to see him back. I hate to say it but it just seems like he’s the odd man out. Sucks...

May but just a guess. Roberts has other options 

I agree and it sounds like he is a great guy. Because of that I was hoping that Wes Miller to UNC might give him a chance to take over UNCG but it’s looking more like Davis will get the UNC job.

Who is DOBO? Roberts or May?

I doubt Roberts would go for that as it'd be a demotion and he could get an assistant position elsewhere.

I don't get the May talk at all. Why would he leave the DOBO position at UNC (his alma mater) to go to the same position at IU? I just don't get it and will only believe it is even truly a possibility if it happens.

Khristian Lander's father:  "I almost got emotional because I knew he was staying.  I knew 5 minutes into the meeting (with Mike Woodson)."

Wow.

I thought I read somewhere UNC was likely to promote him to a bench coach?

Davis got the job. Was announced earlier.

Yet more proof that Mike Woodson knows how to talk to these kids parents.

Maybe he’s not right with the new HC?

Great to have Lander back. I think he will flourish in a more open system. Woodson really seems to connect with these kids. Hopefully their belief in him will give us some good team chemistry.

Yes, I am in talks with IU on a contract. 

 

You were suppose to keep it a secret, Chris!

May grew up in Bloomington and I believe his fam still lives there

Doing this for fun but my guess at a lineup based on players we know are coming back. Obviously more changes will come. 

PG Khristian Lander
G Rob Phinisee
G Parker Stewart
F Jerome Hunter
C Trayce Jackson-Davis

Bench in order: Geronimo, Duncomb, Galloway, Leal, Brunk

Franklin starts if he comes back. I think he would take Phinisee's spot and Rob would be our 6th man. Still have a lot of work to do. Not sure I'm confident in the bench with Galloway, Leal, and Brunk. Right now I say this is a tournament team. But not sure if they go far. Need a guy like Armaan back or a couple big transfers.

Like to see Geronimo develop enough to be a starter.

You forgot to include Keion Brooks as the 6th man or starting SF, slide Stewart to SG lol

Dang, they’re filling the janitor job quick. Just heard it was posted this morning.

Should be a fun competition between him and Hunter for the 4 spot. Lander and Rob could be competing for the PG if Armaan comes back. I think Xavier Johnson starts if he comes.

haha I said SF but it's really a guard spot. Keion would probably be the 4 with Jerome off the bench.

Wow.

Where’s this from?

The IU brand, and wins, will get IU in the door, always have. But you can also see a situation develop where the assistants really beat the bushes and Woodson is a killer closer. Kids like the pro connection and the scheme, parents trust him.
