Crimson and Cream

Just not a fan, brother! Hope to be wrong, though. 
He did have a massive drop in a game last year, as well, in the exact same situation-- RPO-- to a skinny post/slant. 
And outside of the drop-- he did play well.  

They all showed some issues there though, I'm sure there will be a lot of rotating in and out to keep guys fresh. He's certainly got the speed to stretch the field and be a big play threat.

Offense Beats Defense in 2024 Spring Game — Hoosier Huddle
I was pretty pleased with what I saw.
-I think the offensive line did a nice job throughout the night. It's not easy going against a defensive unit when all they have to do is touch the quarterback to end the play but the QBs had pretty clean pockets.
-There is such a big upgrade at wide receiver. Omar Cooper and Cross both had drops and Andison Coby had a dangerous one that went right through his hands but overall, the speed/quickness and ability to do something after the catch is so much higher than what IU has had recently. 
-I really love what Kaelon Black and Ty Son Lawton (and even Justice Ellison and Elijah Green) bring. Particularly, Black and Lawton ran hard, showed good balance and vision and then punished defenders that tried to bring them down. They were fun to watch.
-Aiden Fisher is the real deal. He oozes leadership (sounds like a medical issue but I'm told it's a good thing!) and he is a tackling machine. I saw Jared Kelly from Peegs posted that he unofficially had 15 tackles. His movement, instincts and then ability to finish the play is impressive.
-Encouraging play from the secondary.
-Defensive line, unsurprisingly, needs some additions and needs to get healthy. 

overall, I was pleased with what I saw last night.  A lot of new faces and learning a new system but everyone seemed to be engaged and in step with each other.  Very little penalties and we seemed quicker on both sides of the ball.  Love the attitude of the players during the sideline interviews.  
Excited to see them this fall. 

Loved seeing the TE's actually involved

Andison Coby certainly made his case for playing time

By the time it was done, Rourke was clearly the best quarterback 

Update: he has a column coming explaining himself. I’m sure he’ll use that shovel for good and not to dig himself even deeper. 

Gregg Doyel is the #9 trending topic in the US on Twitter right now for being an outright weirdo in Caitlin Clark’s Fever presser. Good work, Gregg!

Eric Bossi from last weekend's 3SSB event.  Thompson playing for Indiana Elite 16U.
Throughout the course of this past high school season word started to circulate out of Ohio that Anthony Thompson may be the next elite prospect from out of the state. 247Sports finally got a chance to get an in person look at the product of Lebabon (Ohio) High when he took the floor with Indiana Elite's 16U team. Based on what we had been told about Thompson, expectations were high and he not only met but exceeded them during two weekend viewings.
Standing around 6-foot-7, Thompson is a long-armed lefty with a beautiful looking jump shot, plus athleticism and an advanced skill set. Young for the class of 2026, Thompson won't turn 16 until August and also told us that he's grown around five inches in the last year or so. Odds are the growth spurt isn't done yet and whether he grows or not, Thompson has now commanded our attention and looks like he could be one of the premier small forward prospects in the class.
Thompson can be a bit deferential to teammates at times and could probably stand to be a bit more aggressive attacking the rim given his physical gifts, but he's got plenty of time to completely round out his game. College coaches are well aware of Thompson who already has offers from and has seen high majors like Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, and Xavier just to name a few.

Y'all have no idea what kind of ecstatic I am today. Hopefully, it's the beginning of an IUFB era I've been dreaming for my entire life.

No self imposed limitations. -Coach Cig

First spring game in a long time. Whatever it is they show us, I’m excited to see it. 

That was literally the entirety of your initial post. And it didn't make any sense to begin with. Everyone knows he can't shoot, and as pointed out above you can succeed with a low post option that doesn't shoot. So it just seems like you're reaching for any reason to bring negativity into what is otherwise (and should be) a positive thread. As a Woody critic myself, I promise you it's a lot more enjoyable to find the positives during the offseason and hope Woody figures out the coaching aspect this upcoming season. This is going to be a much more talented roster and this kid is a big part of it. 

I thought Kentucky's mating call started with 'hey cuz'.

Not getting the thinking that Humrichous would be coming to IU.  What's the upside for him to do so?  He's already wanting to have NBA scouts look at him, why would he come to Indiana and get less minutes?

I'm assuming "Go Big Red" which is weird in an IU graphic 

Malone will be in Bloomington tonight for a visit tomorrow

I’m going to be surprised if Trey starts. Play a lot sure but I see him coming off the bench with the 2nd unit. Bc you know there will be a second unit. lol 

just watched conwell's highlight tape... really hope essegian/carlyle/rice can make us forget when he's crushing next season 
love,

Ok, very small additional details on CE. AAU coach is on the visit with him. AAU coach likes that Woody has a relationship with his players (GG did not). AAU coach wants him at IU.
