If UCLA pulls off a win tonight does that promote Lewis to HC somewhere?  I know there are some thinking it could already happen.

Think that Payne was ejected from the SEC tournament for a flagrant 2 foul

I see Maryland also got Fatts Russell from Rhode Island. 😳

Looks like he’s not a great three point shooter, but a pretty good scorer.  Good assist numbers, but turns the ball over a lot as well.

TJD likes it. 

Illinois lands Omar Payne from Florida 

Maryland lands Qudus Wahab from Georgetown 

I will say that I am enjoying seeing IU on the short list for so many transfers. Woodson seems to have hit the ground running.

I just read his bio on ESPN. It said he was considered one of the best 3 point shooters in the ACC. He is a 5’10” G. He was a sophomore so he wouldn’t be just a one year guy. 

I could definitely get behind this addition.

i definitely like the Matta part.  only part i like.  i'm just saying if Woodson is so great, why is Matta there?  would Matta ave been hired if we had an experienced college coach?

The part that intrigued me was the talk about collaboration. I can appreciate someone wanting to surround themselves with quantity people who can make the whole better. My question would be if another coach would be comfortable with Matta being there?

My reading of Dolson’s comments is that Matta is there to assist Dolson as much as Woodson

I take that as more attention being given to the basketball program. I really like the Matta addition. 

This is the area about which I am most anxious. I really want to know soon how the roster is going to look. Patience is not a strength. Lol

mostly i am beige to it.  Really want to see how he recruits.  What kind of development he gets out of those who stay and what product we put on the floor.  I don't care if he played for Bob Knight.  I don't care he was part of the 75 team.  I don't care that he has coaches in the NBA.  I care that he can win games.  Winning will make everyone happy.  Period.

Yea plenty of questions to be answered. I’m not ecstatic, but I am hopeful. What we have been doing has not really worked at all, so this could be just what is needed. As with anything time will tell.

I mentioned in the other thread that I was initially not board with Woodson as the HC.  After reading and researching Mike Woodson and listening to the press conference I am fully on board.  I think this was a well thought out hire and I think he can succeed here.  I'm excited to see how this goes.  I am am optimistic.

Basically the same for me. 

Yesterday I was disappointed. Today after more research and consideration I am cautiously optimistic, intrigued, and on board. A coach hire will not change how I feel about IU basketball. It’s in my blood. When I consider we have 2 of the guys that were on many lists I couldn’t be more intrigued by that. Let’s go IU!
