It's not my place to say what went on but Woodson needs to do a better job of building relationships with people that matter in recruiting circles locally and nationally.

All. Game. Long. Way over the top. Nasty, loud, and relentless. Today, he would have been banned. It was annoying to Knight, and distracting to the team. So Knight met with the guy. Not a stand up meeting, but had coffee together in a quiet place with no distractions. So they could just talk. Knight wasn't mad. Didn't threaten or intimidate. Instead, he won the heckler over. Gave him some IU gear. The heckler became Knight's biggest supporter. Even defended him against other hecklers in the crowd for years to follow. That's soft power, folks. I don't know what happened between Woodson and Adams, but I hope Woodson has a plan. I would hate for a good player to miss the Indiana Experience just because of a personal tiff between two people. That's not fair to the kids Adams works with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that this situation repeats itself with other individuals involved in AAU or recruiting circles and if it does it will become a major problem. Time will tell. That said if IU wins and Woodson wins over the recruits themselves then good things will continue to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The college coach should give the courtesy to not cut out or directly bad mouth the AAU coach when talking to one of his players. Beyond that, I'm not sure the college coach owes the AAU coach anything. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 If Haralson or any other kid and his family pass on a school due to an AAU coach, there’s something wrong with the kid’s process. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is more to it than that. If CMW made some mistakes, then it's important to try to repair the damage, regardless. Maybe it is all.part.of him.learning the modern college landscape. Bit from what was posted here, I think it is pretty difficult to say what is really going on. Just trust it all works out and we get better as we go. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why say anything at all if you aren't willing to divulge the info. I think Woodson is doing a great job in his recruiting and if you listen players and families they love him. I want to recruit kids that can think on their own and not what handler thinks. I want to recruit families and not part of an AAU program.

For all we know, if he did so it could make the situation worse. But knowing there could possibly be an issue is better than not knowing something is amiss. Coach Woodson is old school. The AAU environment is new school. It's only natural there could be some adjustments as the two sides feel each other out. It will get sorted out, or it won't. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, I don't think @DC2345post was about Haralson. I took it to be about Flory Bidunga. I would imagine there is a different dynamic to consider between the two recruiting processes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like CMW, but some people on here act like he’s a God. I’m fairly certain he’s human and makes mistakes. Ask his wife! 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I said the whole story then it’s very possible it could make things worse and it could reveal where the information came from and I’m not going to put my source like that especially on here. The reality is Woodson has made some mistakes and I posted it to say that the staff needs to win over Bidunga and his family if they want a shot at landing him because they might not get much help on the AAU side of things.

I'd take whatever you read in the rumor mill at face value...may or may not be 100% correct. I still find it interesting and when proven correct, it provides some very interesting insight into the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
