It's semantics, but he said "put out feelers to agents and agencies".

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.

I favorite article on Dusty https://archive.is/kKf2B

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Afraid not, most chatter points to Louisville.

Enough of the Armaan talk. Its getting me sad over here. Really hope we can get Noah Locke.

Mike, how does Gunn's game compare to Blake Wesley's?

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.

#1 player in the state in 2022. #3 PF in the nation. #16 in the nation overall. Lets prioritize this kid.

IU has been contacting Braden weekly, as has a list of other schools, including the guys in W Laf. Braden hit a growth spurt this summer. He has grown 2 inches and is now over 6ft.

Family are big Duke/Coach K fans. When I chatted with him mom last year, she mentioned Duke, IU, and MSU as his favorites.

Huge pickup. This kid will fit in well!

They play in the same division too, I believe.

There has been a flourishing, potential laden big man crushing it in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio for Archbishop Moeller High School all season long. It appears he is on track to become a valuable member of a prominent school’s core when the 2021 NCAA season rolls around. What are the latest developments with Logan Duncomb in regards to his recruiting process, and what kind of talent could he turn out to be? Logan Duncomb Ohio State Who is Logan Duncomb Standing at 6’9″ and weighing in at 225 lbs., Logan Duncomb is an athletic, bruising center. According to 247sports.com he is currently the 80th ranked player nationally, 14th ranked center, and 3rd ranked player for the 2021 class from the state of Ohio. Duncomb has been making waves at Archbishop Moeller high, dominating in all the areas a traditional big man should. A 4-star blue-chip recruit, Logan runs the floor well, is a solid passer for a front court player, and plays tenacious defense. He is extraordinarily skilled on the block with his back to the basket on the offensive end of the floor. Think a pint-size version of Rik Smits or Arvydas Sabonis. Duncomb’s mid-range jump shot is still developing, but he does have that in his arsenal to use occasionally. What does Logan Duncomb have to offer? For a center, he exhibits an innate amount of hustle and aggressiveness chasing down loose balls and creating deflections. Logan Duncomb is a hard-nosed, rough-neck force on the court when he needs to be. He fears no man out on the floor and has been known to set cringe-worthy picks that send defenders crashing to the floor. Logan Duncomb Offers He is currently considering a variety of high-profile DI programs. All of Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Indiana, Ohio State, Iowa, and Xavier are schools that interest him. Duncomb has received scholarship offers from each of those colleges, as well as Miami (OH) and Winthrop. One of the best players in the state of Ohio for the class of 2021, Logan Duncomb is still relatively early in the recruitment process. He currently has only visited two colleges. Those two consist of Wisconsin and Indiana (both in late September of last year). The visit to Indiana was unofficial, however, while Wisconsin was an official visit. 2018-2019 Sophomore Highlights Logan Duncomb Crystal Ball Based on a recent report from Tom Kakart of Hawkeye Report, my crystal ball projects Logan Duncomb to wind up signing on the dotted line to become an Iowa Hawkeye. It could happen quickly, as soon as the early period begins this fall if both parties are on the same page. If his comments following an early-season game last year are any indication, the likelihood of him committing to Iowa is a foregone conclusion. “I consider myself a big Iowa fan.” he said. “I watching Iowa basketball growing up with my dad. The coaches were in touch with my coach for a while, so that’s how they first started. ” Duncomb said.”He (Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery) called me up and said that he liked what he saw from me and had also been watching film of me and mentioned how I had improved. He said my style fits the play of his program and offered me a scholarship. I was very thankful for the offer.” It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the dynamic prospect. He is a talented and exciting player that will inevitably start popping up on other school’s radars. One thing’s for sure, Logan Duncomb is a star on the rise.
