Post by: fucking on March 28, 2021, 04:19:23 PM: I'd like to know how much interest they had from any other option.

I'd wager a lot of money on "little."

He is almost as old as me. Would have been a McDonald's All American, but he was class of 1976. What I recall is Woodson had a deadly midrange jump shot coming off screens.

I'm astounded that it failed. Everyone knows your intuition to be reliable.

Geez, thanks. It's been that long ?
I am older than him. Agree, he had a nice midrange jump shot, and a better athlete than a lot of players. And Wiki lists him at 6'5.

Post by: illinismitty on March 29, 2021, 10:42:18 AM: I saw Woodson light up the Illini for 40 something points at the Assembly Hall back in the 70's. I may have been 7 or 8?

That's a hire that I was not expecting. I hope he sucks like Miller.

In case anyone here is from Humboldt, that was high school class of 76.

It just goes to show you how undesirable the Indiana job has become and how far they have fallen.
