I also saw KU get a crystal ball pick for Tiller so that might be another big we lose out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not a fan of having to over turn the roster every year through the portal. But you keep defending Woodson when he doesn’t get high school kids. 🤔 I’m not choosing a side here as I think both are important and thinks he did enough work this past offseason to deserve a delay in judgment until after this next season is over. However, I’ll be highly disappointed to miss on all of Haralson, Reibe, and Mullins (especially Mullins). I know we’ve gotten a few big guys in the past, half seem to have solely been due to money. This has already been hashed out, not interested in debating it further. But to me, there certainly seems to be a disconnect, especially given the fact we do have a ton of NIL money to spend. Optimistic about this coming year, but concerned about the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Anymore, I just expect to miss on high school recruits. I was pleasantly surprised we got Sisley. Except for maybe 1 or 2 per year, this staff just doesn't close on those recruitments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after this year it changes if we get Ballo drafted higher than projected? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 I know we have to high school recruits. I also know the importance of in state high school recruits. I also know that we have a roster full of talent....some might be leaving, some might not be....and if we miss who we are projected to miss on we have (based on numbers floating around) about $2-$2.5M in cap space this Spring. Time for the season to begin soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 (edited) I really believe the perception of the big ten is really hurting the conferences recruiting. I see MSU struggling getting top rated recruits and see very little top prospects picking big ten teams. The conference really needs to be serious about changing that perception because bright now top recruits don't want to play this style. I am hoping with the 4 former PAC 12 schools will help change the style of play and hope Woodson is serious about playing up tempo Edited October 15 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping with the 4 former PAC 12 schools will help change the style of play and hope Woodson is serious about playing up tempo I watch a lot of games from different conferences, and I just don’t see much difference in overall playing style. You have your Iowas and North Carolinas in every conference, and you have your Wisconsins and Virginias and Notre Dames in every conference. The numbers just aren’t really different overall. But I think it’s something where if you say it enough times and negatively recruit it enough times, it becomes “truth,” so to speak. So if that’s why we’re losing recruits, somebody needs to do a lot better job of showing them game film and metrics. And by the way, Cronin at UCLA plays as slow as anybody that’s been in the Big Ten. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the big ten allows more physicality than other leagues. I also see more big ten teams playing through the post as well. I have heard a few recruiting guys say they have talked to recruits and they bring that up about big ten.

He said you build your team continuity through HS recruiting and address needs and depth through the portal. He is all about plan and process. Unfortunately, I can’t identify either with the bball program 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not a fan of having to over turn the roster every year through the portal. Getting Freshmen doesn't prevent having to to do this, you're going to need to hit the portal every year, some years just harder than others. As we've seen, having kids signed doesn't even matter anymore. I know everyone is disappointed with not getting these kids, as am I, but it's just the nature of the beast these days. I am trying not to get too caught up in recruiting, only who's on the team and playing. I am no ride or die with Woody guy, but recruiting is really crazy these days for many reasons, so to try an pinpoint exactly why a kid doesn't commit is pretty difficult. The long and short of it is (as with ANY coach) winning helps recruiting. We need to win more consistently to recruit more consistently. Whether that's with Woody or not, I really couldn't care less to be honest. Just win baby. Edited October 16 by OGIUAndy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
