Doubt you’re in the top 5, Banksy. 

Eh tu Stuhoo? I’m the original starter of the fire Woodson thread…… surely that’s top 5 ? You hurt me Sir. You hurt me bad.

You may be in a dogfight here for that one ....

The competition is fierce. And there's a long line of contenders for that title.

Until you get to the “I’d rather see Woodson lose than IU win a national championship with him” level you’ll never be a #1 hater contender

One of my favorite off season memories was reading how Jeremiah Rivers, prior to the season he averaged 3.8 ppg, was absolutely tearing it up offensively.

That was a good one. My personal favorite was that guy marc-michael (or whatever his name was) was looking like a pro in closed practice. 
 

Of course, we were so bad back then my immediate thought wasn’t that Guy was any good but that the rest of posts were terrible. Sadly my intuition was correct there.

Just a reminder that every off-season we are told about surprise, over and elite performers. I'd venture to say the majority of times that doesn't pan out. I've become numb to these types of reports as much as the doctored S&C photos. It's all just noise. Let's see the results on the court.

I agree, but this is a kid who dropped a 30 bomb on Arizona and 28 on Washington St. It’s very different than placing expectations on a kid who’s never done it.

Strangely enough, that was true!

Guy Marc-Michel finished out at Northern Idaho in 2010 and has been a pro in Europe ever since. Still getting a bball salary in France at age 35!

Not to mentioned after a few games against cupcakes, start hearing how deep we are.

CJ gunn was also tearing it up last summer and was going to play major minutes.

A real plus on the recruiting trail. Good to see it's continuing, and with good publicity.

That’s kind of incredible even with all the crappy leagues they have over there.

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. 

 

[MemphisHoosier]

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

[Stuhoo]

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.

[Stuhoo]

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.
