Huge news out of South Bend.  Muffet McGraw has retired as the ND women's coach and they've already named Niele Ivey as her replacement.  McGraw's been at ND for 33 years.  Ivey is a former ND player and was on McGraw's staff for a couple of years.  She's the mother of PUke recruit Jaden Ivey.

Can he do that with a signed letter of intent?

Aren’t they passing something that allows one transfer without sitting

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Under the circumstances, I'm sure PUke could agree to release him if requested.

Sounds like they will, but won’t be voted on until May 21st.

It re-airs at 1 AM Central Time if someone wants to record it and watch it later.

He’s going to Kentucky. Painter has another 7-3 kid coming anyways.

That 2016 IU team is underrated in IU history. So deep, and so easy to root for.

Yogi, Max, RoJo, OG, TB, Troy, Juwan, Nick, and Collin. 

Such a strong, great shooting nine. A shame that RoJo got hurt and that they drew UNC in the Sweet 16.

Word is that Haarms will be BYU bound. Kentucky fans quickly anointed him as the best big man in the history of the game...now that he is BYU-bound, he was “only a bench player at Purdue and is not that big a deal.”

Yup... FWIW, the Kentucky board is a fun read tonight. They currently hate Matt Haarms more than he was ever hated in Assembly Hall.

Bizarre move for Haarms if true

Not necessarily...Calipari has an extremely guard oriented system, and he’d be joining a team with a bunch of high ego 18 year olds. 

He’s likely a pro in Europe, not the NBA anyway, and on BYU he’d be a featured player.

That teams start was pretty rough. Wheels were falling off before Big Ten play.

Is Haarms Mormon? That would make more sense to me too.

Nope, but he's 23 and quite possibly at a different stage in his life. A team full of 18 year old one and dones, or "think they're one and dones" has a very different culture than he likely prefers. Because of their missions, BYU has a much older student population than most schools. And, they were top 25 last season. And, they very much needed a big.

Seems like a really smart decision by Haarms if you ask me.

I wouldn’t add Butler. Need to get in something that competes nationally. Champions Classic has Duke, Michigan State, Kansas, Kentucky. I think something along Indiana, North Carolina, Arizona and Villanova. That’d be more fun. But I’d also like to see another series that interesting. Against an Arizona, Oregon, Texas, Florida or something. But that’s what sucks about the 20 game conference schedule and having the CC, B1G/ACC/Gavitt games. Not much room to fill games against teams from the Pac12, Big 12 or SEC. I was surprised with the Arky game.

I chose Butler to maintain the Border War concept which is the theme...and Butler draws a lot better in Indy than does Purdue.
