My friend told me and I just turned it on right after he dismissed the rumors, apparently he is going to be back on next week to talk more about IU.

Ellis said after the season that he was looking forward to coming back and working with the new coach so deciding already that he's leaving would seem to contradict with that. I doubt anyone is going to announce they are transferring before finding out who will be taking over the program. That would just be common sense, in my opinion.

Armon abd Crawfird had a "wait and see" statement on transfering. Thomas also stated that he was staying.

I haven't seen anything online or on t.v. about any players leaving. My guess is that most of them will wait and see who the next coach will be. I've also heard a couple of rumors that Holman might transfer somewhere back on the west coast. I have heard rumors of Bassett, but not Ellis.

Dixon would be a tremendous hire and rebound considering Bennett said no to IU. Let's hope that the "blue ribbon search committee" is smart enough to realize this and go after him. Knowing Greenspan, he'll hire Quinn Snyder or Isiah Thomas though. I personally believe that the “Pitt” program has hit it's peak and it's going to be about as good as it will ever be.

They didn't really mention the IU job in particular but they did talk about the Cal job being turned down and how that didn't mean he was staying at Pitt for good. A decent portion of fans are upset that they do so well in the regular season and then struggle in the post season. I believe Pitt did the same under Howland, so I wouldn't worry about that translating to IU if Dixon came. I'm holding out hope that we're talking to him and he's interested.
