    (2022) - CG Jalen Hood-Schifino to INDIANA

    Just picked up a projection from Jamie Shaw on Rivals.
  2. Thanks for this! I would love to sit at IU practices and blow a fog horn every time Rob slowly walks the ball up the court. Rob, please, please, please play with some pace.

    (2022) PF Jalen Washington to UNC

    Or he can go to Purdue and try to join the oh so long list (as number two, behind Carl Landry) of Painter post recruits who have gone on to last more than bench-filled two seasons in the NBA.

    IU Trustee Election

    Minor correction. At present the WHO is stating 18 as a general guideline, pending the results of a number of studies for younger age groups, but they updated their Pfizer-specific guidance to 16 and up in April.

    (2022) - SF Justin Taylor to Syracuse

    Call me crazy but social media is a fairly shallow thing. I see it as a good sign that his thoughts on IU may be deeper than what instantly came to his mind at other stops.

    (2022) - SF Alex Karaban to UConn

    For the past four years every falling out with a top 100 recruit has felt like a gut punch. Just a short time into Woody's tenure and my reaction is so be it...we have several great options on the table. Refreshing!

    2021 Minutes Per Game

    The top 4 feel solid to me heading into next season. I suspect that 5th spot will involve a lot of competition and rotation unless/until somebody breaks from the pack. And I agree with sentiments on Rob...of all the guys on the team he requires the most significant mental adjustment to stay in the conversation. I could see him landing anywhere from 5 to 10 on the list by mid-season.

    (2021) SG Tamar Bates to INDIANA

  10. Good for him. The days of competing with Purdue for talent are quickly coming to an end. Woody intends to compete at a higher level, and rightfully so.

    Is anyone tracking private jets between Lexington, Fort Wayne and Bloomington yet? Kidding!

    I don't see Woody going 13 deep.

    Galloway brings a lot of intangibles and can guard multiple positions. Even if he never starts I see him as a 6th man of the year kind of guy by his 3rd or 4th season.

    (2021) SG Tamar Bates to INDIANA

    https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Top-five-available-2021-prospects-Jaden-Hardy-Patrick-Baldwin-Michael-Foster-Efton-Reid-TyTy-Washington-Zaon-Collins-Johnathan-Lawson-Kenny-Pohto-164380641/#164380641_4 Reid was going to announce his commitment last Thursday but then put it on hold. Still no mention of IU but the timing is interesting given that Bates just committed.

    (2021) SG Tamar Bates to INDIANA

    Wonder if the Bates commitment opens the door for Woodson to get involved with Efton Reid who plays for IMG as well. He's the only top 25 recruit for 2021 without a single crystal ball prediction. 2021 Top Basketball Recruits (247sports.com)
  16. Very true. My sense is Ricketts is done investing in the team for a while. One championship was enough for him...he's going to milk it as long as he can.

    Something tells me he'll jump at the chance if we truly offer. Kyle Mangas helps Indiana Wesleyan basketball stay an NAIA powerhouse (indystar.com) “It’s kind of hard sometimes because you want to play the comparison game. I’m an IU basketball fan. So I’m watching games sometimes and I’m like, ‘How could I fit out there? How could I help them?’ But I don’t want to fall into that trap because it can play with your mind. I love it at IWU. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

    You are very focused on making one-to-one comparisons of the individuals on the roster. Do you not believe that a change in staff can/will improve how they execute as a team?

    Ideally they'll get plenty of time late in games, with a focus on maintaining leads.

    Mike Woodson and His Coaching Staff

    Interesting (and concerning) Former UA basketball coach named in federal trial - News - Tuscaloosa News - Tuscaloosa, AL

    Player decisions

    Indeed. I wish Miller well but he was stuck in quicksand and pulled the team in with him. To the point that the guys would have had more success without any coaching at all...if they had just played streetball.

    Mike Woodson and His Coaching Staff

    If I were in Lewis's shoes I'd look at this as a golden opportunity to be next in line at IU, while working for a 63 year old HC.

    Player decisions

    I think that's true but it's also true that most other coaches have been using that same approach to hone in on guys in the transfer portal for a couple of weeks now. Hunter and Roberts kept us afloat and I'm hoping for the best, but it's most likely the case that IU (though no fault of any of the coaches) has a lot of ground to make up.

    Player decisions

    I sometimes think it's crazy how long Joey Brunk and Ali Patberg will be in college hoops, and then I think of Wisky where six years is par for the course.

    General Coach Candidate News

    Dizz, this is not aimed at you specifically but in general at the discussion regarding Moser. He was a slow starter in his career but he's figured out how to win...he grasps his own strengths and weaknesses and continues to make adjustments over time. Anyone citing his earlier years or his full career record is missing the point with this guy. He's a very good coach today and has been for four years now. Four years is not a fluke. If he'd had the same level of talent for those two years in between his final four and today, he'd have made runs then too. His pace is slow but the offense is much smoother than Miller's, even Bennet's. My wife, who half-heartedly watches hoops on occasion, has used the word "beautiful" at times to describe some of his plays and she's not wrong. Is Moser the right fit for IU? I dunno...his style does not fit what Dolson described. But some of the critics I've seen on this board are flat out wrong. He's going to get a power five job and I believe he'll be very successful.
