I think he is pointing out having two bodies already here would allow for more hands on deck faster. Hunter and Robert’s are both already in town and know the landscape of IU basketball presently and can help get things going faster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Happy that Woodson kept Hunter around. Fingers crossed he can get 1 of Fife or Lewis. Wouldn’t mind to see Ostrom stay since he was undeniably our best recruiter but with Woodson’s connections I trust him to find the best fit for him.

IUFLA Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I was just thinking about this today... This years NCAA basketball off season player movement will be familiar territory for Coach Woodson...He's dealt with this kind of turmoil for years in the NBA...Free Agency and all of the ego stroking that goes along with luring players to play for you... Shoot, we probably have a leg up in that department.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are keeping all the assistants might as well kept Archie. I like Hunter and maybe find a different role for Roberts but we need an A+ recruiter and top notch player development and Ostrom was good but I hope for much better 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more guard oriented? I know both are needed, just trying to look at priorities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any of the guys particular strengths and it seems like many assistants have done both just depending on the need with that team that they happen to be at. The biggest area is shooting from everyone as we all know but both guard play and bigs are of concern to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Roberts was supposed to be overseeing the development of the bigs, but TJD had the same issues as a sophomore (no right hand, no outside shot) that he did as a freshman...It seemed to me that his only development was getting a year older and the more mature Big 10 ready body that went with it. And I know it sounds kinda implausible, but I think simply the freedom to shoot, and the confidence that'll generate, will have our guards shooting the ball better next year...And Parker Stewart won't hurt either... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence goes a long way but our shooters do have some shooting flaws that can be ironed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is about as prepared for the wild wild west of the transport portal this year as anyone could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and Hunter worked with the bigs at UCONN. So....perhaps Roberts isn't needed? We just need someone to work with shooting....everywhere!!! No honestly I think Hunter is a pretty good guy to keep....has a decent track record. Would love another strong assistant like KT Turner I would feel a lot better...then the 3rd can be anyone Woodson feels comfortable with...maybe Calbert etc. Gotta have at least two shark recruiter though.
