Popular Post btownqb Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 As of now... if you give Woodson's hire anything less than an "A" you are just purposely being negative. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great article Joe. Thanks. Dolson clearly is thinking globally. He's just not hiring a basketball coach, trotting him out there, and hoping for the best. He's providing support with Motta and giving him the money to hire good coaches. The Fife hire was brilliant for both basketball and non-basketball reasons. Fife and CMW have a number of things in common, but one of the most important is that they both really love IU and want to spend the rest of their professional career at IU promoting not just IU basketball but IU. This creates great synergy within the university, in the state of Indiana, and for IU alums outside of Indiana. For example, CRMK was well known for his promotion of the IU Library. This makes the basketball program just something you go to see on Thursdays and Saturdays (I'm dating myself). But it's connected to what is very important to the university and the students. There's a lot more to discuss here. I liked to here from some of you especially marketing folks who actually know what they are talking about unlike me. But when all is said and done Dolson, Woodson, and company have to win and win big to make it work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been great! All that is left is to do the developing and coaching...the final hurdle but obviously how this all comes together is the most important part. I'm not trying to compare but I'm sure people thought how could Memphis not be a tournament team given all the talent they assembled....I mean how super thrilled were we when Archie landed the Romeo/Hunter/Phinisee class. We've all had super high hopes to be dashed later so I'm tempering my expectations....but I do think this....no way we can be any worse then we were. Going in though my worries were recruiting mainly...so I must say I'm feeling pretty good about where we are. I'd just hate to be let down at this point....and even though I do believe we've upgraded almost across the board...I've over rated our talent before lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree 100% that winning needs to follow. We will see next year, but winning programs have foundations. It seems we finally have one after 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also say this....probably a LOT of disenchanted alum, former players, admin that IU is able to bring back into the fold (support/$$/promotionally) because they feel they identify again with IU Basketball and the vision the school has. How many over the past 20 years just gave up donating their time and money because they were off put or upset their voices weren't being heard or the direction we were taking. I think at least for a time this brings the family back together....it will be up to Dolson and Woodson among others to KEEP it together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) A question has Kopp officially signed because I am watching Indiana Sports Beat and they have Benny Sanders on there. Bob Kravitz asked Benny about Kopp and he talked about him. If it is not official he is not allowed to talk about a recruit personally.
