Inequality Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 I will be pleasantly surprised if he picks IU over Uconn but I am not going to hold my breath. Uconn is the basketball powerhouse that is the most attractive currently & looking forward IMO. Their program is on rails right now and no reason to believe they will be slowing down any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fkfootball Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 This won't go our way, I'm afraid. I think this kid and his Dad want the UConn system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Hopefully the Mullins get annoyed with Hurley's constant harassment. I thought in that interview with Braylon that he was done with contact with coaches. Like I said yesterday it is like that annoying salesman that won't leave you alone and let you find what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He picks IU October 2024, If the new offense isn't what CMW is selling then he decommits early spring 2025, no way UCONN would turn Mullins down at that point lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 One good thing about the current climate in CBB is that losing out on a high school recruit is no longer the end of the world because we can use the portal in the spring if needed. I have no inside knowledge, but based on our recent history with shooting guards, I'm not holding my breath either. Having tape of SG's thriving in your system is one thing. Making promises that a SG will thrive in your system based on theoretical circumstances is another. I don't care how much NIL can be offered, home close we are to home, etc. Let's get Carlyle to thrive this season and hopefully that will be the 'crack in the dam' for creating an attractive destination for future SGs. We simply need to beef up our resume in that area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Hurley is a blowhard who's going around selling that they're going to win another championship this year. The problem is he doesn't have the roster he's had the last 2 years. From last year to this year he lost 54.5 ppg. He also lost 4 starters that combined for 708 of their 989 made field goals and 197 of their 299 made threes. Thats a lot of roster turnover. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Woodson works but I (and likely most of us) wouldn't know how much "work/effort" he puts in compared to other head coaches. I think the other poster saying he doesn't work was more of a lazy, inaccurate way of saying he doesn't put in as much work as other coaches, which may or may not be true. Woodson failed at constructing a balanced roster last year that could compete. I think it could also be argued that he has overused an outdated post centric system that isn't good enough. Obviously he appears to have addressed both issues going into this year but will have to wait and see if that is the case when they start playing games.

IU is relying on 6 newcomers to cover significant minutes this year, including most likely 3/5ths of the starting lineup. IU's coach has not won big at any level, while Hurley is a two-time national championship coach who just turned down an opportunity to coach the greatest brand in basketball (the Lakers). UConn runs a proven, dynamic, modern offensive system, while IU can only make promises based on practice film that it's going to update the offense (after Woodson came in allegedly intending to run a modern, 4-out, dribble-drive offense, only to play a two low-post, 90s style offense for his first 3 years). Honestly, aside from NIL and location, this should be the easiest decision in the world. Even factoring in NIL and location, if I'm Mullins I think I'd have to pick UConn, rather than entrust my fate to a coach who has no proven track record of getting a player with my skillset to the league. Edit: It's actually kind of amazing that IU is still in this one at all, so that's a credit to the staff.
