Looked at that for a second and thought the score was IU trailing.

Confused? In interview, he mentions the relationship he has built with CMW as a main factor in his commitment. Uhh...should someone pass him some notes on how to read the room with the current state of CMW and well sh!t.

My two questions are:

1. Is this a Cem Dinc situation (old Mike Davis reference) or a Kasparas Jakucionis and Tomislav Ivisic situation like Illinois finds themselves in right now with legit good foreign older players?

2. Will this guy want to play for the (presumed) new coach next season or will the new coach even want him?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and Woodson has clearly convinced him he is coming back.

Woody probably threw in an extra 500k for that line.

Nope, this is what you say. It means he has people around him who are smart enough to advise him to say nothing and get the interview over with.

1. If that’s a spectrum of result he’s closer to the Illinois kids than Dinc. 6’7” snipers who know how to play and can’t be left can help any team in any system. 
2) See #1.

I sure hope that is the case, cause the alternative sure sounds a lot like the king has confidence that he will be here to punish us for yet another year to get over that "d@mn hump."

The king clearly thinks he is getting year five

Yeesh… you say that as if it’s a bad thing.

As long as Mike Woodson is still IU’s coach, I damn sure want him to proceed as though he intends to win every game and be the coach for the near and distant future.

When he’s not or has agreed to not be Coach anymore? That’s when it’s time to cease and desist.

Really nice shooting stroke - the release and form look a bunch like Luke Goode. 

For a 21 year old he's pretty glued to the floor, even when on the move. Some video footage of breakaway scores where he still stays below the rim. Gonna have to learn to defend because the natural defensive twitch may not ever be in his skill set.

So a wing shooter/small-ball 4 to me. The most recent Hoosier I’d comp to Kopp with better physical tools

I just read his commitment on Inside The Hall but what I found the most peculiar is the picture of him with the 3 assistant coaches and no Woodson.  Maybe I am reading too much into this, but odd nonetheless.

The Daily Hoosier article led with a picture of Zrno and Woody.

Yes, actually just seen that.  Oh well, there goes my conspiracy theory idea, lol

[RaceToTheTop 26,599]

Need to keep in mind that he visited IU on Jan 9 when they beat USC.....so prior to the back-to-back 25 point losses.  Woodson's job might have looked a little safer then.

I like it.  Let the chips fall as they May.  The new coach might love this kid.  Shooting translates. And even Coach Knight knows our beloved Hoosiers need more of them.
