Yasir seems to be "close" to a couple 5 star guys.  1 is committed to Auburn and the other is a freshman somewhere not in portal though. I can't confirm anything just what I heard

no ,no going after committed players. you keep giving me no reasons.

Enough of the Armaan talk. Its getting me sad over here. 

Really hope we can get Noah Locke. 

Locke ave. 10 points a game in 3 years at Fla. why is everyone so high on him. What am I missing.

He is on the Pacers staff and not the G league

Thats right non bench coach that sits. Behind the bench

Just now, IUFLA said:

If the final assistant slot isn't going to be Mike Roberts, isn't Woody kinda doing him a disservice by keeping him in limbo during prime hiring season?

you dont think Mike knows where he stands?

For anyone who follows the Pacers better than I do, what does Calbert do there?

G league Assistant. I dont want him either.

That's him. Without having time to read it,  I think he was cleared of wrong doing. Correct?

Because he didnt have any players they deemed worthy of paying. Which might be worse. No thanks.

Player development area I think is the focus. Maybe.

If you are pushing the NBA and player Development for the NBA, it better be an NBA guy. Someone besides CMW that can walk into a home and talk NBA. Dane and Hunter have college covered.

Glad Franklin made a decision. Based on the timing with Race I'd guess they were give a deadline by CMW. Time to move on. The good news is there are quality players still in the portal.

The best news is we now have a staff that can coach players up instead of standing around with their hands in their pockets saying I dont know why we cant hit open jump shots or make free throws.

Seems like we won the trades. Gained Parker and Xavier  for Al, Armaan and a big mouth mom. win every time. Armaan will Avg. 5 or 6 points a game in that system.

He's out..lol

Noah Locke from Florida is another.  I believe he and Hunter are acquainted.  The thing with Brooks is he isn’t in the portal as far as we’ve been told.  It would seem very odd to go in the portal and transfer in one fell swoop.  

We didnt make his list.

Very good interview. Dane is smart, insightful, and is great with the English language.  Few things I recall:

• IU hasn’t gotten it right the past 20 years because they’ve tried to re-brand. It hasn’t worked.  Woody is going to reconnect us with our brand. 
• Woody and Matta called him last week.  Great call. Goals lined up.  Fife had never been offered a job at IU before.
• Izzo was classy in letting him go.  He totally understood that Dane is an IU guy.  Izzo said maybe you can take over when Woody leaves.  Fife said that is not necessarily why he took the job (obviously would be open to it).
• Woody will have to learn the college game. It was interesting that his tone was he’d have to tell Woody some stuff.  Parents are a big difference between college and pros.  Told a story about his own dad being upset when he didn’t play at Purdue his freshman year.  IU won but Mr Fife, himself a coach, wanted to blame the staff.  Dane stood up to his dad and told him he had been sucking at practice.  Dane says this kind of thing gives him insight into the players’ thought process.
• This is Indiana. We are esteemed and aren’t going to beg any players to come back or to be recruited. 
• In recruiting you have to be honest.  Tell the player the truth and what they need to work on.  Gave an example of Xavier Tillman. Tillman didn’t like their honesty but his mom loved it. 
• Next assistant coach might have IU ties.  Fife seemed to like that idea but it was vague. 
• Told some stories about being recruited by Knight.  Fife was also a top QB in high school so Knight tried to convince him he had a better shot in basketball.  Dakich said Knight tried to say at 6’5 he wasn’t big enough to play QB in the NFL which didn’t make sense.  Fife said Knight showed him his calf and told Fife he would get broken in half because he didn’t have calves like that.  Fife said Knight compared him to Randy Wittmann.   Fife talked to Randy today and told him be thinks Knight meant as a coach. 

 

What i also found interesting.......Mike Roberts was still on the staff and didnt seem to be leaving with Dane sleeping on his couch.  Dane seemed to know who the 3rd coach was but didnt say.

Another good point guard gone.

I think you make a lot of good points here. I think the way TJD was handled by CAM didn’t help with TK but thy wasn’t the main reason he picked Purdue over IU IMO. Purdue was just a better fit for him for a multitude of reasons. 

Yes he comes from a little coumtry school so why not go to college at one.

Anyone know what our scholarship count is like? For example, if Race and Franklin stay, can we add Brooks? If we do add Brooks with those, do we have any scholarships left? 

Brunks would be a free covid year so if everyone is back it would be one.

Keith Smart isn't an assistant with the Lakers.

I saw a Youtube by Kent Sterling where Brunk has told CMW he's coming back for his 6th year, FWIW......

Kent also said Brooks was in the portal.

Basset's multiple arrests on assault and gun charges probably take him a step above the average college athlete smoking pot comparison.

I was talking about his play on the court but everyone always has to chime in with the off court stuff we all know about. Which didnt happen while playing here.

Keith Smart....Assistant Coach Los Angles Lakers. I was coaching LeBron James, Sign here and i will be coaching you next season at Indiana University.

With Fife coming, not asking for much. 
 

Bring Aaron Henry, Brooks enters portal and comes to IU, get Franklin back and let’s get to next season already. 

I like the way you think but IUScott was told by Henry's dad, NBA or back to MSU. iFthat happened u still could get your guard. Hunter would be in the portal in 2 seconds.
