I'd take Mikey Williams and I can guarantee Woody could sell the "father figure" pitch for him. I'll take any talented guard for next season. We NEED it.

Mikey Williams? Lol hell no. I'm not even sure he's that talented -- he was as a 14 year old but others caught up to and surpassed him. 

While there are no guarantees, we can most certainly do better in the portal than Mikey Williams.

Not sure who would touch him. Maybe Ignite, but he’s a textbook case of an early maturer and I doubt it would be worth it to them. ABL?

Seeing Izzo rant and whine after the NW loss makes me think he isn't going to be coaching for too much longer. I think he'll retire soon. I'm going to guess within the next 3 seasons.

I know I won't miss him when it happens.

Meanwhile, Pom has 9-6 Michigan State at #19 and they are 28th in NET.

I've thought this for awhile now, but like many other people from his generation, he just has to keep working because, well, he just does.

My grandma would be saying that he should retire before he has a health scare.

Not worried about any of that. Kid deserves the shot. Could Woody help him? Probably. Considering we left a scholly open for this season, I see no problem going after a kid like that with some upside. We need some confident and athletic guards. Oddly enough, we could use a Devante Green. Never thought I'd say that.

Hypothetically... Woody brings in Liam McNeely, Derik Queen, Mikey Williams and another point guard... You wouldn't be okay with it?

Sure... But we aren't 9-6. Michigan is 6 spots ahead of us and they are 6-8. And we beat them in their floor.

Article on Jay Wright being done with coaching. Wright figured out what so many in that world don’t: that there really is more to life. Good for him. There aren’t many guys it would be better to be than him.

Even more than his coaching, I've always been more impressed by his ability to keep secret the fact he knocked up a soccer player at VU and made her get an abortion.

Any reason to believe that was true and not just a nasty, unfounded  rumor?

I guess I should have prefaced it with "allegedly", but to me it has legs since I was first made aware by comments made under articles on ESPN.com back when they were allowed, and then brought up by anonymous message board posters who were VU fans on Rivals at separate times.

I mean, you can't let a relationship with a soccer player get out. That could ruin any good man.

Why would you want Williams

1) his off court stuff is bad

2) he is one of the most overrated players in this class

Bold move by Shannon, sueing UI to reinstate him to the team.
