Don’t actually love this picture. Trey looks way too much like a d-bag character from Wolf of Wall Street.

I've seen worse fashion choices.

FYI -- if anybody's interested ... Woody, Gallo and Rice will be chatting on the B1G Network in a couple minutes.

Did anyone else see the side-eye Gallo gave Rice when the topic of 8th year players in the league came up? haha

[Stuhoo 80,535]

Myles Rice "Woody? He's treated me like his grandson. He's not really one of my grandfathers but I consider him one of my grandfathers." 

Gallo: Eyebrows up. Side eye to Myles. Trying to contain laughter.

 

Aye caramba! Kinda makes me wish Dusty May (or Micah) would be the coach.

Beyond the "Grandpa Woody" moment, this B1G media day has been a masterclass in Myles Rice establishing himself as the team's vocal leader and heart. Gallo said Myles Rice leads like no one else he's played with, and when Myles answers questions you can see why.

Almost spit my drink. But the thing is there is great value to having the guy on the floor that nobody wants any part of.

I specifically watched it to see Gallo's reaction.....lol All he did was start grinning when Rice mentioned Woodson feeling like a grandpa.... Galloway's reaction was totally of, "yep, that's how he treats us all, like one of his own."

I thought Gallo's reaction was more along the lines of "Oh sh!t; Myles just called Woody really old on national tv!"

I mean, he might as well embrace it.  He’s literally a grandpa, plus his persona, age and gait fit the billing. As much as I look forward to this years roster, and I do, it’s also hard not to wonder what kind of timeline Woody is thinking.  I think 3 years including this year if successful. 
 

sidenote, someone tell Barrell Rick that Hurley will bolt for an east coast NBA job after this season and UConn will be flailing.  Might as well commit to Indiana in the fall than waiting to decommit from UConn in the Spring/Summer when Hurley NBAs.

This from Woody today was sweet music to my ears.

Mike Woodson on Jakai Newton:

“He can’t go every day, and that’s because we won’t allow him to go everyday. The days he’s been out there, he’s been pretty impressive.

“Probably the most explosive athlete on our team playing above the rim.”

Fixed that for you... and Woody.

Exactly the kind of thing I’ve been waiting to hear. Newton has been an afterthought for many bc of his injury, and not saying those remaining injury questions aren’t warranted, but man this kid is a real talent, so hoping he comes into the season healthy and stays healthy, lots of potential, and we’ve already seen him in a red jersey in practice

Jeezus ... Jockitch is an angry, angry, angry, angry man.

I mean it sounds horrible, and it may not be correlation or causation but Indiana hasn’t won enough to shut him up. Hopefully we have a great season this year.

I hadn't even noticed Rice's fingernails until Dakich brought it up. Imagine attacking a couple college basketball players for wearing suits to media day. What a sad, pathetic little man he's become.

He is irrelevant at this point. Old man yelling about painted nails. Yawn.

He’s just a jealous, sad little man man who didn’t get the coaching gig he thinks, baselessly, he deserved. 
He needs a mute button
