Mike Woodson on Trayce Jackson-Davis: “I’m hoping like hell he comes back because he’s a big piece to the puzzle”

Indiana coach Mike Woodson spoke to reporters on Tuesday night in Fort Wayne ahead of his appearance at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana Gourmet Dinner.

Woodson was asked about a variety of things, including his first season in Bloomington, the status of Trayce Jackson-Davis, NIL, the transfer portal and more.

A full transcript of his comments is available below:

On how he would characterize his first season at IU:

“I thought it was a good season. Considering where I started with this ball club … it’s a great question, because I tell you, when I gave this all-star speech when I got the job and became the head coach of the Hoosiers, I couldn’t get anyone to commit to stay on board.
