Media reported on Wednesday that Woodson would return next year to IU, much to the dismay of a large portion of the fan base. Then IU went out that evening and crushed Minnesota on Wednesday (calming many), followed on Thursday by the news that IU's lone incoming recruit -- a consensus 5-star recruit -- asked out of his Letter of Intent.

Add in inevitable transfer portal departures, a potential first round draft pick who clearly will be heading to the league, etc. and things could get ugly in the next couple weeks in Bloomington.

So it's not too late if the IU admins want to change their minds. Rumors were that the AD was open to a move, but BOT chair/IU basketball legend/friend of the head coach Quinn Buckner was not.

some attorney might be getting richer. But the Board usually has its way.

Right now, Bryce James is a 3-star recruit. We'll see how he develops. But yes, Dusty May seems to be in play still in Columbus...things are not going well at IU right now (despite a 3-game win streak), so not a guarantee Woodson makes it through after all.

Millions talk loudly. It is interesting that after the old AD said Holtman would finish the year, the money for the buyout came with a new AD. The money has always been there, but the old AD didn't like to spend it on anything but buildings. Look at this year since January, high priced transfers, top recruits with 3 of the top 6 2025 football recruits committed and one Chip Kelly. I suspect we will see more spending until some regulations come in. Thet are playing fair though.

Bryce James may be a 3 star recruit but he is a 5 star attraction and money maker for whatever school he chooses.

It is interesting that since Indiana upped Woodson, that leaves a wide open field between tOSU and Dusty May. LeBron James is pushing hard offering a major multi million donation and a son (Bryce) to play there.
Coach Dusty May addressed OSU rumors once again in his weekly presser: -Again isn’t sure where the rumors came from - Says he would be flattered if Lebron James knew his name Reflects his comments after the first go around of OSU rumors… this time with an LBJ twist. He claims no interest, but season still going on.

Contract extension through 27-28 for Greg McDermott at Creighton

he used the interest by big schools to his advantage. Well done.

Southern Illinois is open. SIU made the tourney every year from 2002-2007, including two Sweet 16s. Haven't been back since. Didn't realize Matt Painter was HC there for one season in 2003-04, after several years as an assistant under Bruce Weber.

I watched the end of their game last night. UIC was leaving Jarrett Hensley open for threes and he was bricking them. He missed one at the end of regulation and then one in each overtime. Hensley did have 3 blocks though.

Heard Chris Mack could be in play at Saint Louis.

I think that would be perfect.

His name came up briefly in OSU talks in the immediate aftermath of Holtmann firing and that seemed crazy to me. He's not ready to jump back in at that level. Also, I have long believed that he would resurface at a private school - he couldn't get away with some of the same s---- at Louisville (public) as he was probably doing at Xavier (holier than thou private institution).

Mike Davis is out at Detroit-Mercy, after a 1-31 campaign this year including an L at UC in November.

Indiana is bringing back Mike Woodson, much to the displeasure of many IU fans. Could be a rough year in 24-25 if things don’t go well.

Hard to fire a former hero who has deep pocket support. Can we say Tony Yates.
