They don’t recruit that way.  They definitely sell starter spots and bench spots.  
 
That’s why we weren’t able to get the guard we needed last cycle.  It’s why we recruited Peyton Sparks.  It’s why we are having a tougher time filling the last 3-4 spots.  

Now if during practice one of the bench guys outplays a starter, I imagine they would switch but it’s not really Woody’s ways either.
Instead of having 10 guys that look like they could be starters and letting the cream rise to the top we recruit tiers.  Makes the margin of error in assessment so much more difficult .  
 

I don’t know what needs to happen but the political slant of all major Universities including Indiana and the not-so-subtle indoctrination therein needs a shift and a reset. 
Higher education should aim to be apolitical as well, but we all know that isn’t how things have been for a long time. McRobbie opened my eyes to things, and they’ve only been opened wider since.

It wasn’t a vote of confidence or “support.”  If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.  

Whitten gets paid to be the decision maker.  Ultimately if she chooses poorly, she loses her job.  The faculty putting pressure on her to make decisions based on their want to virtue signal don't hold the same level of accountability.  "She wouldn't listen to us..."  Nah, she heard you, she just thought that you were wrong.  She can read a room and is held accountable for her ability to do so, they aren't.

Really hope Staff stays after this one.  I know the staff wants to limit freshman recruiting but a core of Haralson, Mullins, Moreno would be an awesome core.  

That’s part of my concern for Woody’s recruiting pitch. When you target bench guys you get bench guys with less talent.  Let’s say he goes hard for TJ Power as a player with starter potential. Maybe he earns it, maybe he doesn’t.  
 
but when you are trying to recruit guys happy to be Bench guys you are severely capping your talent on the team.  He needs to find a way to figure this out.

Tempers are going to flare on this one.  I've got STRONG opinions Re: Politics with IU and therefore try to stay out of all this stuff.  The 2 sides will not see each other's side and opinions won't be swayed.

Stanley Cup playoffs start tomorrow!   There is at least one game every day for the next two weeks.  It's so beautiful 
 

We can wait it out another year.   He will still have a year of eligibility left next year.   He will be in the portal again.  I feel like next year will be the year for IU and Conwell
