    A lot of kids have agents so schools can reach out and vice versa. Or go to their high school. Many ways to go around the actual rule.

    I think we need a PG and a SG that can both shoot it from deep. Then have MM, MR, and a new C. That would be 3 threats from deep to open the middle a little. Short of that, it’s going to be a long year imo.

    He is definitely talented. And I’m not wanting him to leave, which is why I said part of me. I can see how it would be a benefit. But that’s not the style we are going to play. So we will need his post play. Hopefully he can work on his ft shooting as well.

    Part of me believes it would be better for IU and MR to part ways. But then I remember that we would just get another post player to replace him with in the starting lineup to have 2 post players starting.

    Two young players who are not talented enough. Definitely need an upgrade in the bench.

    Early 60’s isn’t old. He has a solid 7-8 years left of coaching. That’s plenty of time for Him to make IU a top program again. Then it’s in a much better spot for the next guy. There is less risk because there is a long track record of success. The younger guys is a bigger gamble. No track record beyond a single group of players. It’s why so many mid major coaches that jump up a level after a good run in March flame out.

    I think Woody is back. If Dolson wants to make the move and can’t, then he has to start thinking outside the box. I didn’t get paid anywhere near this but it’s something that was similar happened to me. I was asked to take a job I didn’t necessarily want or like for a short time until the job I wanted opened up. So it can happen. At least with the proposed idea above May could get that recruiting jump start, and maybe land Sisley and Mullins. But by sitting on his hands Dolson is setting the program back a couple of years. Fine Woodson is back, then make a chess move Dolson and don’t set the program back further. The new TV deal makes IU have plenty of money for a $4 mil salary to May for a season before he becomes coach.

    He could if IU paid him a HC salary for the year he waits.

    It’s why I think they should name May the heir apparent. Have it be like the Keady Painter transition. But let Woodson do his thing for the final season. May recruits for the future.

    I know the goal is to compete for championships. But you have to learn to crawl before you can walk. If he keeps making the tournament that turns us into Bo Ryan Wisconsin and this last season was just a blip. I don’t see Woodson turning it around bc I only see 1 path for it to work. We are going with 2 bigs again next year. Which means you need 3 shooters at the other positions. Then focus on kicking the ball out more from the post. Beyond getting 3 shooters to go with the 2 post players, I can’t see it working.

    Not just you. Can’t take a flyer on a kid with an injury history this offseason. In the future if the roster is more established then you can take a shot on a high upside kid who had an injury.

    I’m going to root for Pearl to be successful. He coached my alma mater and I’ve always enjoyed his teams. First time I rooted against him was vs IU.

    I’m assuming if the better players leave or if they struggle to land impact players. But why move on on the summer of that happens. Who is going to come in with that roster and no ability to adjust it. So it’s not going to happen imo. So the hope is next year is a good season and they land multi year players on the portal. Then a change is made bc the Big Ten Title and Final Four were not met. But bc of the strong NIL, players will stay during the coaching change.

    Let Woodson run it how he sees fit for one more year. But let Dusty get to work for the future, build those relationships with the 25’ guys. Woodson can go all in for next year. Who gives a crap. We know it’s not going to meet expectation. He gets to go out on his terms and IU has their guy who has been able to have a year head start on future recruiting. Woodson won’t even have to recruit a single person.

    Then if the deal is to move one next year, why not announce that Woodson will retire after next season. Then hire Dusty as the “GM” or advisor type role and let him start recruiting a year in advance. I'd also add Luke Yaklich is available to be an assistant. He was the defensive mind behind Beilein taking a step forward at Michigan. I think Dusty needs a defensive mind in staff.
