FIfe has the personality of a rock. He was whiny at IU, complained about every foul called on him. Sorry, but as an IU fan at that time, I never cared for him much and couldn't get excited about him.
Dane Fife Return To Being A Loosier

Brooks is a decent player but he's a twenty-some % shooter from 3. The last thing IU needs is another bricklayer from outside. And with Woodson saying he wants to bring the 4 out/1 in offense to IU, the team needs more shooters. I do believe TJD is trying to 'recruit' him because of their past friendship via travel ball, but I think bid daddy will trump any friendly tweets from TJD. I don't this Brooks-to-IU rumor is a good fit for Brooks or IU.
Edit- story breaking this morning that he's staying at UK, so all is moot.
Would have been surprised if Woodson wanted him. Or felt pressure to take him. With his IU pedigree, he should have more latitude with the goober portion of your fan base, as far as recruiting the kids he wants, and not just the highest ranked flavor of the month.
Would love him and TJD on the court at the same time. Add Phinisee and Trey Galloway and the defense could all just be positioned for rebounds, don't even worry about shots going in.
Agree...and, more so on the heels of the awful interview that he did yesterday with Dakic in what is now the daily IU lovefest...I can barely listen to the show at this point, and, that was just more garbage...if I hear one more time that the key at IU is "insulation" and keeping it internal and within the family...I will indeed vomit. There is no wonder that there is such delusion in the fanbase when you listen to the clowns that perpetuate it as former players like Dakic, Fife and Hillman.
Here's my deal with the current love fest.
When Knight was fired, they should have immediately brought Alford home....or another IU guy. When they hired Davis, IU fans knew it was only a short time until he was going to show his true inability to coach at the elite level and he was never considered a "Knight guy".
He was hired to recruit the south, to get more athletic players. Knight had already made the statement that he was going to fire Davis that year.
And that's one reason PU with Painter has done more because he understood what it meant to be a Boiler. Davis had no clue, Kelvin just wanted a big payday and away for the pressure that was on him. Crean...the guy did the best he could, but he was an Izzo guy, just like Fife. And Miller....I really believe the little guy became very disillusioned with the Indiana fan bases expectations and got to the point he really did not give a red rat's ass.
I do expect Woody to do pretty well. Not hanging banners well, but he'll bring more wins, a pro offense, tough nosed defense, and will contend for a B10 title in two to three years.

Not to rain on this so-called journalist, After the Knight firing, Steve made the statement after not getting the IU job and the way he was treated (want to know more share your email) that he would never come back to IU as a coach. If you've looked at Nevada's roster, they're picked as a Top 20 team next year, are predicted to win the Mountain West which is getting a whole lot tougher, and some are predicting with the right breaks, a run at a Final Four. Nevada, which I watch because of Steve and the MW is loaded and play very solid basketball.Here is what rumored candidates were saying:

Nowhere did Jon Rothstein claim that Alford contacted him to say he's not interested. Only, "sources"...
Now... the butthurt IU people can twist "sources" into Alford reaching out to get out in front of the Jeff Goodman tweet, but that's quite a stretch, and serves only to advance their narrative.
It's bush-league, and more evidence how far "journalism" has fallen.
It's appropriate to rain on this so-called journalist. In fact, it's appropriate to pi$$ on him. His bio says he has a degree in journalism from IU, but his work shows that he is a run-of-the-mill blogger with a platform to rant. As Purdue85 said, it shows the current state of journalism.
