NCHoosier32 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Just now, Inequality said: Its hard to say with all the different rumors circulating. It could be that Kenya Hunter knows he's out and he is the IU connection to Montverde. Maybe Woodson is staying and this years results and overall style of play has them realizing they don't want to play for Woodson and could be better utilized by Self while competing for a national title. I heard in the office several days ago that Woodson was announcing “retirement” just before B1G tourney. Lots of speculation happening and I don't have a clue what to believe. maybe he will site family or health and do the right thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyeCowbell Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 So... no Montverde pipeline anymore, I guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUProfessor Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Simplest explanations are usually the best. McNeeley either saw IU with Woodson as a sinking ship. Or he got wind Mbgako is back at the 3 next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year 1 post Sampson incoming if not worse This clearly signals to me that 1. There will be a TON of players leaving the team. 2. I don’t know why anyone would want to keep a coach that is going to lose a ton of players because of his ego and style plus lose his best recruit. 3. I just don’t think the players entering the portal are good enough to fill 8 plus spots. 4. at least if we are crappy then maybe we can get Pearl in 2025. Unless having zero commits and a mass exodus would somehow be enough ammo for Dolson. I guarantee Woodson mentality is don’t wanna play for me then fine I’ll go get players who do. This day and age that mentality doesn’t work and even losing everyone he won’t take any responsibility for causing this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier83 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Zero recruits! Zero! Everybody we targeted decided they don’t want to play at IU. I’ve been watching IU religiously for 34 years and this is the lowest I’ve ever felt. This is a dumpster fire on top of a train wreck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year 1 post Sampson incoming if not worse I've been saving this for about 6 weeks, and I have no connections. But, it's not hard to read the room. IU does not play a style of ball that is going to attract top talent. And, I still have people telling me NIL is going to fix it. It's not. Players will gladly take a few dollars left to play somewhere like Kansas. IU will not make the tournament next year, and I'm not talking the NCAA or even NIT. Indiana, as I said weeks ago, is not going to make the Big Ten Tournament. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fkfootball Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Maybe Woodson will realize how awful they'll be and change his mind about sticking around. Worst case scenario. We hire Josh Schertz. He's making 250K a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's watched the games, just like all of us. At some point, he decided whatever money he was getting is not worth it. The fact that he does this right after Woodson is announced to be returning is not a coincidence. If he still thought someone like Bruce pearly could end up at IU, he may have waited for that to play out first. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This day and age that mentality doesn’t work and even losing everyone he won’t take any responsibility for causing this. This is exactly right. I have this feeling the players are winning for them not IU or Woody. Best to showcase your skills and finish on a hot note before exiting for the NBA or another school. i suspect Mcneely is hearing from current players what a 💩 show things are. Transfer portal isn’t going to solve this as I already stated. Things are dark and if the keeping Woody stands true it will get even darker. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BGleas Posted March 8 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8 Wish I could find the tweet, someone shared it in a postgame thread a couple of weeks ago, but when I hear this news I think back to that Woodson quote last year when he said, "it's not my job to get Miller Kopp shots." As a shooter seeing a team struggle to shoot last season and hear the coach say that about the one good shooter, I would be terrified to play there. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
