It's semantics, but he said "put out feelers to agents and agencies". -
It’s time… Fire Mike Woodson

Someone on another board did some math that showed that the settled buyout would actually be closer to 8 million due to certain circumstances. Add to that, Dusty May's buyout drops to $1 million on March 1st. Considering that Dusty's salary would likely be a little less than the $4.5 million that Woody gets, it would all end up being close to a wash after a few years. Compare to Ohio State, owing Holtmann 12.5 million and if they want Oats (12 million) or McDermott (3-4 million?). IU would be getting out just fine. Schertz's buyout is $250,000 -

Alabama football fired 6 coaches between Bear Bryant (1983) and Nick Saban (2006). They each had 3 years, 4 years, 7 years, 4 years, 2 years, and 4 years. -

OSU finished the year ranked #49 last year. That is like a pretty decent year for IU over the past 30 years, sadly. -

Gunn reminds me of Cooper Neese. Crazy ability to score in high school. Indiana kid. Struggled to find PT and a groove at Butler. Transferred to Indiana State and then in his final 2 seasons finally came to form. -

Matta has done a fantastic job at Butler in his 2 recent seasons. However, he is not the guy for IU. Give me Beard, Drew, May, or Schertz - hell I'd even take Pearl. All of these are an upgrade over Woody. So many red flags. -
I have not lost faith in Woody, but I am sorry if we go 3-14 to end the season then it is time to move on.

Transfers with IU Interest
IndySportsPartizan replied to Parakeet Jones's topic in Basketball Recruiting
As of a few days ago, there have not been any back channel discussions coming from IU's end.. I can tell you with confidence that Essegian would transfer to IU if he was told he as wanted. He is happy at Wisc, but IU has always been his dream school. This same discussion will occur next off season and the one after as well. I know some don't think he is good enough, but I disagree. First team All B1G Freshman. 12ppg, 40% from 3, 90% from FT. -
2023 PG Gabe Cupps Commits to Indiana
IndySportsPartizan replied to hoosier_exotics's topic in General Basketball Discussion
Smith has really long arms and will likely continue to grow a bit. I wanted him at IU bad, but Cupps seems to be a kid we will be just as happy with. -
Kyle Filipowski (2022)
IndySportsPartizan replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Seems like NBA quality skills and size. Wonder why the previous staff wasn't high on him. -
I love Furst's game. I think he will turn out to be a great 3 year guy for Purdue.

Next Season Expectations?
IndySportsPartizan replied to rogue3542's topic in General Basketball Discussion
Currently, IU is projected to go 16-10 (11-8), #6 in B1G, #22 overall in the T-Rank Projections with transfers Xavier Johnson & Parker Stewart getting the 2nd & 3rd highest usage. My hopes: -Top 5 finish in B1G -Beat Purdue -1-2 wins in tourney -
Starting 5 2021-2022
IndySportsPartizan replied to Candystripes_56's topic in General Basketball Discussion
Rob has shot under 30% from 3 and under 70% from FT in his career. I love the kid, but that is not what we want starting as the SG. 1. Xavier Johnson 2. Parker Stewart 3. Galloway 4. Jerome Hunter 5. TJD Stewart and Hunter can shoot great. Xavier is an average shooter (better than Rob). What Galloway lacks in shooting, he makes up for on the break and penetrating and slashing. -
Potential replacement coaches
IndySportsPartizan replied to IndySportsPartizan's topic in General Basketball Discussion
Wow, this thread has picked up steam, don't even have time to read it all. Earlier, I posted about a buddy that was on the staff of the sweet 16 Valpo team, very close to the Drew's to this day. I texted him over the weekend, asked if he thought Scott would take the IU job if offered. His repose, "basketball is the religion in Indiana, I think he would". -

IndySportsPartizan replied to IndySportsPartizan's topic in General Basketball Discussion
I am not going to argue the stories Zion is speaking about, they may well be true. But the only first hand knowledge I have on him, is that a friend of mine was on the staff of the Sweet 16 Valpo team. He said that all of the Drew's are salt of the Earth type of people. Would give you there shirt of their back. He recently showed me a letter of recommendation Homer wrote for him. He said he is closer to Scott than Bryce, but Scott still invites him to dinner now and again after 20 years. -

Oh man, I am a huge Tonegal fan. Valpo will be hiring him next. He is a bit too religious for me tho. Coached state champions in HS. Won MAC conference 2x in 4 years. Won 2 NCAA tourney games. About to win the SEC, which means 3 conference champs in last 4 seasons. Top 10 in O and D. Offense is a modern and fun offense. Take out his first season at Bama and he is 44-6 in last 3 seasons in conference. Oh yah, and he recruits really well. I just only this week decided I would be ok with Fife. 1. MSU and Izzo clearly think he is fit to take over at MSU someday. So why TF shouldn't IU? 2. MSU's best defensive teams were the first 5 seasons he went to MSU. 3. Coached IPFW to their fist ever winning season. 4. Was never worst than 5th in conference, at a school that had just moved up to D1 and joined its first ever conference! But the real reason I became ok with him, is that I don't think he would do any worse than our last 5 seasons. -

C.J. Gunn - 2022 committed to IU

Mike, how does Gunn's game compare to Blake Wesley's? -
Braden Smith Commits to Purdue
IndySportsPartizan replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
He is not 5'10 anymore, he is 6'1. He has also put on muscle and can dunk pretty easily now. Kid is flying under the radar nationally.- 705 replies
