He got 2 good ones, sure. But he needs to be getting at least 3 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Do some of you ever get tired of doing the same old song and dance. Also when it comes to Rabs, that dude has been talking out of both sides of his mouth and tripping over himself for the last few weeks. The narrative about Woody is worn out and has been for months. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears (whether true or not) he doesn’t show up to stuff. With kids from schools like Montverde they don’t care as much but an Indiana kid has different expectations IMO Nobody cared where JHS was from when he was raining buckets in Mackey. Or where Oladipo was from when he was throwing down dunks at Ohio State. Recruiting the state only becomes a priority when the fanbase is restless. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a fan I care if my coach is not getting a top player from the state of Indiana because he couldn’t simply show up to basketball games. He’s getting paid a crap ton of money and knew EXACTLY what the job entailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would typically agree but IMO there is some real merit behind it. Especially if Mullins comment was true, mcneeley decommitting, etc. I mean even Archie got Indiana kids and you’re telling me that Woodson so far only getting one Indiana kid doesn’t have some behind the scenes underlying issue to it?

I can tell you that it’s being overblown in the Mullins situation. If it was a problem IU wouldn’t be a legit finalist. As for the overall issue of landing Indiana kids here’s the thing. Who in the 22, 23, or 24 classes would you have wanted IU to really go after. Flory is the only obvious one imo and he wasn’t a true Indiana kid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't land these types of guys, then start targeting guys in the Sisley range. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 2 hours ago, Fkfootball said: Rabjohns said something about Woodson only going to 1 Greenfield game kind of made him feel unwanted in the beginning. Opened the doors for others. Lmao so if Woody had shown up to his HS more frequently, Braylons concerns over our offense and Woodys job status would have just suddenly dissolved? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen from 1 legitimate person saying they aren't coming to IU. I don't know what kind of sources the guy on the Sleeper Media has but he still thinks Mullins will pick IU. Also if you look at UCONN's roster for next year you see they will have 8 wings or guards next year and that isn't counting McNeely who could come back. Also they have two big guys who will be in their roster and is said to lead for another big guy so Reibe won't be guaranteed a spot in the rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 I know nothing, but it seems two 5stars who had parents heavily involved for the RIGHT reasons chose IU, almost out of the blue! On the other hand when a recruit has People involved for their own reasons???? Like an AAU coach getting a job at a school? Cough, cough JH. Me I’ll take the ones IU got! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he needs to be getting at least 3 a year. We can go back and rehash everything over the past 2 years, but that's treading water to me... @bluegrassIU is right. Mike Woodson needs to put the best talent he can out on the floor, and we have a really solid team 1-13 by pretty much all accounts...think back before Hatton and James were signed...were any 4 or 5 star kids at any position going to sign with us with our roster? Sure, we could get projects, but I think experienced kids were the way to go. The one question in some minds is Mike Woodson himself...Personally, I tend to believe people like Jim Jackson (who played for Woody in the pros) or Larry Brown over "experts" like Rabjohns or "hit counters" like Dakich when assessing Woody's coaching acumen... I think we'll be just fine this year... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see if he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
