A roster crunch with 9 players transferring out. Even by Crean standards that's kind of impressive.

Unless you're a shooter on the opposing team, then it's 5 minutes.

From what I saw it must take 5 years to learn

Will take an official visit to Indiana! I’m really hyped about this! Love everything I’ve seen about this kid. Very versatile game for a 6’10 PF. And this staff could answer some questions very quickly by continuing recruiting momentum into the 2022 class. Prove that recruiting will be fine, silence the doubters.

Just got an ESPN notice that Arkansas has hired Keith Smart as an Assistant Coach!

He couldn’t do that, his defense takes 3 years to learn

YES. Filipowski at the 4 or 5 Clowney/Washington at the other 4/5 Banks/Nickel/Taylor at the 3

He was over signed by 37 so he should be good now:)

Devonte Green did an interview with the Assembly Call and when Jerod asked him who he thought would thrive in Woodson’s offense, he picked Hunter and Race. He specifically said that Race is a good shooter who can definitely make that outside shot as a stretch 4. Stuck out to me because a lot of people have questioned if Race fits with this new offense. Devonte also said that generally guys didn’t feel comfortable shooting under CAM because they’d get berated about it. Very interesting pair of interviews with him.

Indiana Women's Basketball - Congrats to our guy, associate head coach @RhetWierzba, who will participate in the @TopConnectLead! He's one of 13 coaches (men's or women's) and 13 college administrators selected nationwide for the prestigious leadership institute.

He may be a good guy, but he's lacking something if all these young men aren't satisfied with their bb experience with him.

Really like seeing Filipowski coming for a visit. Such great talent at the PF spot that IU is after w/Clowney, Washington and Banks. Hope one or two end up here.

Well you certainly can’t accuse him of not being consistent. What’s insane about the way coaching works is even after he gets fired next offseason he will eventually find work making 7 figures somewhere

Crean’s best player leaves today. This is the NINTH player Crean has lost to the portal this offseason. And none of them are coming back. And they are all players that were recruited to UGA by Tom Crean. Crean’s response? Throw the departing player under the bus: “Given the standards and expectations of Georgia Basketball, we wholeheartedly agree with K.D.’s desire to seek a new program,” Crean said. “We certainly wish him the best and really hope he finds success in all areas moving forward.” Tom Crean needs to give up on coaching and go back to announcing.

Really want this kid in an IU uni! I also really wanted Aminu Mohammed and that didn’t work out... So maybe I don’t want him?

Minnesota is what Jeff Goodman hoped IU would be this upcoming season.

I just saw that Stephen Carr from USC has entered the portal. He was a former 5 star (ranked 20th in the nation). I believe that Indiana has a good shot with his connect with Mcullough.

Indiana women's basketball head coach Teri Moren has been named a court coach for the upcoming USA Basketball Women's U19 World Cup Team Trials. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/5/12/womens-basketball-teri-moren-named-court-coach-for-2021-usa-womens-u19-world-cup-team-trials.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1W1LlNq2fJpJVU6zCKrZ75rX0YeQ5cIQhh7zF6shR6kqlnTyJKAJczv1U

I’m lowkey pretty glad Crean isn’t here for the expanded Transfer Portal world. Seems like a very bad fit.

I knew retweeting it and tagging all the popular IU Twitter accounts would change the tide!!

After four years it works only against Iowa.

Maybe Izzo can convince ADMIN to replace him at MSU. Lol. Wouldn’t that be great.

And lots of departing players insinuating on social media that the Crean dude is crazy.

YIkes! Didn't care for his coaching style or the weird kind of vibe about him, but hoped he would do well at his next stop.

Oh I assumed Trish = Mike Stump. Meaning Woody finally found a spot for you on his staff.

That would be (0.96)Stephen Williams, who would end up playing in the NFL

UAA has updated its calendar and will now hold two events in Westfield at the Pacers Athletic Center. May 29 - 31 in Westfield July 8-11 in Atlanta, GA July 16-18 in Dallas, TX July 23-25 in Westfield. This will be the UAA Finals event.

Maybe Cal wants to have a version of Saban's analysts in non-recruiting roles. The Miller bros could do it

Not so sure he will this time. Mark Fox failed at UGA just before Crean and the best he could do was Cal Northridge (where he failed too). Crean has had more success, but this time it looks pretty ugly. The wins/losses are terrible—the player relations are worse.

I think a case could be made for Woodson being the player for Knight. Which is a nice little loop

HA! Did Devonte ever meet a shot he didn't like?

That doesn't make it right, at all. I'm not going to be okay with it just because most of the big ten is doing it that way. It's 100% wrong. SEC/ACC/B12. Good for those schools understanding the right way to handle this.

I'm calling Dane multiple times a day to get a spot!

My favorite kid that Woody is in on, including Washington. Love him. His play at the :50 mark where he makes up 35 ft and inhales that kid’s layup is a hustle play that just doesn’t happen in AAU games. That being said, his AAU coach REALLY needs to take a breath with the Garnett and AD comps.

IU has had more than 50 people at countless events. It has nothing to do with the Monroe county restriction

Yes. Please! Please yes.

Lander’s father Keith told The Daily Hoosier last month that a set oriented offense under Miller that involved the point guard dribbling at the top of the key while the play unfolded felt foreign to his son. When the family sat down with Mike Woodson and watched film on how the new head coach wants his point guards to play, there was a collective epiphany. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-mike-woodson-believes-khristian-lander-has-solid-foundation-to-build-from/?fbclid=IwAR26lsb923EQVDas4NHkAL6AMfhXat6lKZ-iauJXco8MPxiM4IS-hSQsCv8

I’m really not trying to pile on Archie and I am still skeptical of Woodson but it’s mind boggling how quickly issues this team had for four years were addressed under the new regime.

I love seeing him take those first two jumpers on the move, coming around the screen. We didn't have anybody who could do that last season. Our perimeter players did not take 3-pointers unless there was nobody within 5 feet of them -- and we usually missed even those.

@Hoosierfan31 your schtick is getting old and very irritating maybe you should find someone else's yard to play in. You make it quite clear that it's a personal vendetta on your part and you're contributing nothing of value to this thread.

Who’s ready for some IUFB?
