Ibi Watson to Dayton.
Ibi just announced on Twitter.
Fare thee well, Drip Boy!
Ibi, we hardly knew ye
Best of luck in Dayton . . .
Not a bad landing spot
He ain't landing. He's flying now!
Love this! If I can't have him on Michigan at least I still get to root for him at Dayton. Welcome to UD Ibi!
Best of luck to Ibi. I hope he has an awesome career there
That's awesome, seems like a great landing spot for him
Maybe we'll see him in the tourney one of these years!
Maybe we'll see him in the tourney one of these years!
I’m not impressed
great bball program, fans always fill arena and they host the first four, but you drive by campus and have a fully formed opinion.
Dude can have an opinion. It's the internet for Pete's sake.
The student body has a high caliber of very polite and sharp kids. Everything is walkable and they have blocks of UD owned houses for upperclassmen. It’s a great place.
Google it and ckeck out the images.
UD sells out because there is literally nothing else going on in Dayton. I’ve lived here for over 20 years and only still live here because most of my extended family lives here. I would never live here by choice without something else bringing me. The UD campus isn’t in a fun part of town (because no such pet exists) and isn’t as nice as Wright State or even Cedarville, for that matter. The academics are stronger at UD, but that’s about all it has going for it over those two schools. Best of luck to Ibi, but I’ll never understand why anyone not from Dayton would want to be here.
You’re a real ray of sunshine
I think I’ve earned the right to dump on Dayton...I have lived in South Bend,Indy, The Netherlands, Hawaii and spent plenty of summers and holidays in the Detroit area. Dayton sucks. I’d rather live in Columbus...no difference in the fan bases in either town, but at least Columbus has North Market and NHL hockey.

to his non-existent pet.

The only thing UD has over those other schools is stronger academics? Strange to make that sound like an insignificant factor in education.
The campus is beautiful, and it is a great school. The rest of Dayton is... not. Stop into the Pine Club if you want a great steak.
Daytonians invented the airplane, invented the electrical starting motor, contributed to the Manhattan project, and helped break the Enigma code (the second time). We've just had a bit of a letdown these last 75 years or so.
I just can't quite put my finger on the 'why' though.
In the event of nuclear war I'll know who to blame.

...faking the moon landing.
They also Invented the 30 year construction project on I-75
UD has solid academics and the campus is actually pretty nice. Also, the student neighborhoods are out of control - basically 5 square blocks of nothing but university housing. I remember the celebration videos from their elite eight run a few years back - that place can get pretty crazy.
Though I agree that, outside of UD, there is not much in Dayton that would attract someone

Beautiful campus. Great culture. Awesome food The BIG House.
I'm originally from Traverse City and would still prefer to live in A2, given a choice between the two.
Best of luck Ibi!
Hate to see guys leave. Best of luck to Ibi.
a sign that great talent is coming.
Hope he has a good career with the Flyers...
Great program for him to land at. Best of luck to him.
Good for him, and good luck.
Go Get 'em Ibi!! See you in the tourney since Dayton regularly makes it.
As a Michigan fan and Dayton grad, I am pleased.
Good luck kid.
The only people I’ve ever heard say Dayton is a nice city are UD grads.
Nobody says Dayton is a nice city, but Dayton is a nice campus.
-signed, Dayton grad
This.
Signed,
Married to a UD grad.
Dayton itself is getting better with the Water Street District. Still a ways to go for lil’ Detroit. But UD’s campus and community are great.
Not a Dayton grad but I’ve visited a few times. Nice campus, and a great community.
Good luck man.
Awesome! As a Michigan fan and UD grad, I am very happy about this.
Wish him luck.
