    Crimson and Cream got a reaction from Muskie for three in Oumar Ballo (7'0" C) TO INDIANA   
    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.

    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 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

    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.

    I think Woody would love to play 10 if he could. Do that hockey style line substitutions.

    That Goodman video is hilarious. Yes, we need better shooting but this whole take made me laugh out loud:
    "What did Mgbako shoot from 3 as a freshman? Don't know but it wasn't good and he was supposed to be a lights out shooter."
    "My one piece of advice is to go out and get Stojakovic b/c he's a lights out shooter....well, he wasn't as a freshman, but he will be."

    We've already had a shooter-first in Woodson's system, Parker Stewart. And while he was a good 3 point shooter by percentage, that's about all he could do. Couldn't dribble, couldn't get to the hole, couldn't create for others, etc 
    Woodson's system is all about 1 and 2 man games. Guards have to be able to win 1 on 1 matchups vs their defenders in order for the system to work. We've had one guard in 3 seasons who could consistently win those matchups. Carlyle and Rice is the most dynamic backcourt duo CMW will have had to date.

    Goodman phoning in this analysis. Wow. Ballo isn’t a 3 point shooter? Thanks for that. And how lazy is it to ask what Mgbako’s percentage is and then say, I don’t know it but it’s not good.
    we do need to add shooters and if we don’t with our remaining spots, that could spell trouble. But come on man, show a little effort when you are an “expert”.

    Ballo is a completely different player than DJ Burns. Completely different.
    Ballo is bigger, stronger, in better shape, and a world's better defender. Burns is super skilled and a low post clever scorer and passer option in a way that Ballo never will be.

    My goodness! We get the top player in the portal, another late 5☆, a top pg/cg(and most likely another), keep everyone we reasonably could've hoped for.
    And every positive thread gets pissed on, because of people's hate for our coach. Or we're "overpaying" guys. I'm definitely not a CMW fan(for many reasons), but I want our team to field the best talent money can pay for. If Woody can't do anything with it this coming year, I will be just as excited to see his arrogant a** gone.
    Malik,MM,Trey,Ballo,Rice,KC,Tucker,Gabe,Newton*, and AL is a pretty good start.
