Must be some basis for Adragna adding Danny Wolf to his list.  Mike Schumann posted a story on Wolf earlier today.

Tyme mentioned Wolf again last night. 

Of course, Tyme could simply be employed in some capacity with the Daily Hoosier and is using his own story on TDH to 'prove' his own theories.  Adragna is likely just going off the story published in TDH to say that IU and Wolf are in talks.

Hi, NGW.  Let's see how you can't quit us as you throw a hissy fit and tweet from this board that you 'left'.

Have no idea! But it would be damn funny if we ended up with that guy and the former poster/tweeter guy was right. Hahaha

Wolf is a good player, so yay?

Wolf is a decent player but he really struggled when he played against good non-Ivy League teams -- 11 of 39 from the field against Gonzaga, Kansas, Auburn, and San Diego State.  In terms of his fit with IU, it depends on what you want from the 4 and 5 next year.

If you want Reneau at the 5 and Mgbako at the 4 so as not to clog the lane on offense, than obviously Wolf isn't in that lineup.

Wolf would be an okay rim protector at the P5 level, but nothing more than that.  He is a good rebounder and if you want Reneau at the 4 and not the 5, Wolf and Reneau could probably play together as Wolf does possess a perimeter game.

To be fair he was giving hints about Wolf and Rice before others. The ITH angle is interesting but if we bring in those 2 you have to think he/she is connected

Mom and dad and player were promised he would play at the 3 ... they don't care what you want.  LOL

Woodson definitely wants to play Reneau at the 4. The question is, is Wolf the guy he wants and can he get him.

Idk the answer to that. Sometimes the devil gets its due and tyme seems to have incredible foresight in things happening behind the scenes at the moment. Second topic, I don’t have much faith in what’s happening will ultimately lead to the results I want. And Tyme seems to be trying to split the fanbase even further. So, I’m not a fan, but the info they give has been pretty spot on.

Agree.

Also, Goldin likely to end up at Michigan. Dusty will have a competitive roster day 1. Very curious to see if he can parlay his moment in the spotlight to prolonged results.

He’s definitely a mouthpiece for somebody on the staff. Didn’t appreciate his tone and abrasive nature on here, but he’s definitely been right about way more things than anybody else, especially in regards to things posted by Trilly, etc that were patently false.

There is more to life than being right. The condescension and arrogance is enough for me to not want him around even if he is right 100% of the time. So if he is a mouth piece for someone on staff, then that staff member needs to find better friends.

Pretty strange take given that the Fire Coach Woodson thread is now over 1,000 pages and the number of negative comments that were made in game threads throughout the season not to mention the sarcasm and barbs that have been infiltrating other threads.  I feel certain that well over a majority of btb posters wanted a coaching change but it didn't happen and they've moved on.  Some haven't and that's their choice but putting the sarcasm, snark and barbs in every thread serves no useful purpose and isn't appreciated by many of our followers.

Aaron Bradshaw is a potential name I would keep an eye on. Former top 5 recruit who underwhelmed at Kentucky his freshman year after battling some early season injuries. Remarkably similar build to Ware. High school teammate of Mgbako.

What has he been “right” about. As of now we have zero portal commits.

Why should we keep an eye on him?

A lot of parallels to Ware. Coach just left for Arkansas. High school teammates of Mgbako. We need rim protection Guessing good chance he enters the portal.

He's been mentioned a couple of times, in 2 weeks ago... thank you. 

Just didn't know if there was more there than the obvious

He was giving hints who Wolfe and Rice at least far before anyone else.  Who knows whether he guessed well, had a connection or if we will land them but he was pointing at them when most were thinking our top targets were the first guys we had visiting.
