As long as IU is with Adidas they won't get Bronny. Lebron is Nike's highest paid athlete.

Way, way, way back in the day, Valpo's Roger Harden played at Kentucky, which had switched to Nike. Harden's dad worked for Converse, so Eddie Sutton allowed Roger to keep wearing Converse.

Let's bring the lad aboard and let him wear his Nikes -- LOL! 

Side note: How Harden was Mr. Basketball over Scott Skiles is beyond me -- and Valpo is 10 miles from where I grew up, so I saw Roger play many times. (Although Skiles didn't have the greatest of reputations -- that probably factored in a little).

For the record.. I was joking. Hope that was clear, but this is the internet. lol

Anyone hear anything on if Yasir is bringing Jabari with him or no?

Nothing more than wishful thinking. I'd put that at about a 1% chance but you never know.

HA! I do hope you are right, but got a chuckle out of this part. If there are ever awards for famous last words, that would have to be on the list of contenders.

I'd put it at .000000001%

I don’t see why people think he’s so committed to Auburn.  He committed to them after committing to Alabama and they look to be the pretty rough next year

I got an email from someone who would know last Monday saying all assistants had been hired but just wouldn't all be announced at the same time. So they waited 4 days to start his paperwork. That is why Lewis never got an offer, we already had who we wanted. 

So since folks were also saying Lewis was a possibility I wonder if it was an either or between him and Fife. Once we had Fife we had not more room.

I assume Dane was the first choice, Lewis was 2nd but we were not taking both. Once Dane said yes we were good there

If I remember correctly Skiles went nuts in the state tournament his senior year. I lived in Terre Haute and all you heard on the radio and read in the newspaper was about the monster games he was having.

Makes sense. Once we kept Hunter and hired Fife, it was a good move to look outside the program. As a fan, it'd be great to have Fife and Lewis on staff, but Woody needs at least one guy he trusts and has a previous relationship with. I am pumped that we have a "shooting specialist" that can help develop our perimeter guys!

[bleedhoosier]

Shooting specialist, say no more fam

I like that CMW said he's a hands-on coach and likes to be on the court. I think his assistants will probably share that approach. Sounds like a much more personal and less clinical style.

I understand that no coach is a sure thing, but CMW is saying and doing all the right things to be successful. He is surrounding himself with people who are great in there own right. For my perspective, I don't know what else he could do.

He's been the guy since before Fife was hired. We were never going to announce it till later on since he is able to recruit right now during a dead period. 

Now we're talking! Sounds like Indiana is ready to win with the big boys.

Now that’s some hard-hitting journalism.
