    Happy to land Tucker, seems like a great talent. 5 star recruits don't excite me right now. The chest pounding will be amusing

    Yeah, I don't think the problem is under appreciation of shooters, it's under utilization. Woody doesn't think it's the coach's job to help them. Funny, says he is doing his job, but never defines what it is. Until his offense does something to help the best shooters, I don't see the results changing much.

    Trey makes a great starting 3 for a Top 10 team. More in a role like Andre Jackson had for UConn last year though. But you have to have that kind of talent around him. Indiana isn't close. So you have to think whether or not he can be the 2nd or 3rd best on a Top 50 team.

    If a local kid picks Cincy over the current staff and coach then it’s time to reevaluate the direction the program with the current head coach.   I still have a hard time believing he could go to Cincy over IU.  I’m checked out on anything related to Woody already if this happens put me down as double checking out

    Ngw just loudly reminded people when he was right and conveniently made excuses or ignored when he was wrong.  You didn't see Chris Ledlum on the court and you certainly didn't hear anything about McNeeley decommiting.  He was also very high on 'Queen to IU'.
    What's great is that y'all know he's reading this as a guest and wants like hell to post about 'the lies I'm telling' which are only lies in his own mind.

    I don't think the staff gives anyone the greenlight to shoot. Our entire team outside of Mgbako is scared to shoot if anyone is within 10 feet of them. I don't think any of them had the confidence to shoot it if they have any sort of space. It's been like that through Archie and Woody. Just watch games under Crean compared to the last 7 years. Watch us compared to other teams. It's how our guys are coached. Don't shoot it if someone is closing out. Shoot only if wide open. I don't think there is a team that passes up more open 3s or shot fakes on open 3s more than Indiana.

    I'd love to have a Oats/Pearl/Hurley type of a coach as regarding coaching energy.  I don't know who fits that billing out there but I enjoy that type of competitiveness. You would think that energy would make it hard to recruit but that doesn't seem to be problem for those guys.  
    Anyway, Monday thoughts.

    I dislike Gard as much as anyone but Essegian is a defensive liability. Look at the guards on these teams tonight. We need more of that. We can/should set our sights higher than Essegian for our needs. If Gard knew he needed better and I think he was right, we need better too.

    Look at the rebounding by A&M, it’s not “bigs” at the basket it’s guards and wings attacking and grabbing the boards for second chances. Maybe Woodson can wake up and watch some actual college bball.

    Seeing guys attack the glass rebounding and not conceding the ball is what I’ve been begging for, for 3 years.

    Gosh, I wish we had Oats or someone like him as our coach.

    We sucked at defense this year and actually had a rim protector. So what's it matter? Dive full in on having an elite fast paced offense. Just like Crean did in 14-15. Hell it got us a 10 seed. We are looking at missing the NIT again next year.

    Agree! Is there really still anything that qualifies as NCAA rules ‘baggage’ anymore?
    UNC - fake classes for 20 years -lawyered up, zero penalty. Dean and Roy HOF coaches lauded by everyone. Nike has been kicking them EYBL players and related $$$ since the club league existed.
    KU - payed top $$$ for talent, for like ever — completely exposed and in cahoots w/triple stripe, lawyered up won. Assistant pays a fine, or went to jail. Where has triple stripe been landing us some dudes if we’re one of their best? ok don’t answer, but it certainly wasn’t close to what they did for KU). KU literally then sued  adidas for ‘tampering’ and a month latter adidas re-signed them w/ over $100M contract. lol! Multiple sexual assault charges in the bball dorm, multiple yrs - swept under the rug. Self = HOF and lauded as one of the greatest.
    MSU - Izzo buried a bunch of sexual assault/rape charges - certainly was competitive in the pre-NIL $$. Lauded as Mr. March and the best in the Big. Future HOF.
    Duke - systemically best institutional hidden under the table pay for play school in history (ok UK and KU arguably right there). K - viewed as Mr. clean, lauded as best coach ever.
    Alabama - Brandon Miller was textbook definition of accessory to MURDER ffs!! Teammate texted him along the lines of  ‘things are getting hot, bring me my joint,  there’s one in the chamber’. He drove the gun to the scene where his teammate grabbed it and killed a young mom. Tuscaloosa PD gave him a pass - no charges — Nate Oats didn’t sit him a single game..explained it as ‘wrong place, wrong time’. miller 2nd pick in draft, Oats viewed as one of the top 5 coaches in the country.
    Could fill 1000 pages with sooo many other examples. 
    The real NCAA rules are aggressively fight any charges, privately, publicly and all around - run out the clock and or create enough pressure to for them to give up..or in the worst case take a penalty - typically only pulling coach for a cupcake game or two. 
    Do I like, or even respect this? Absolutely not! But, it’s the pragmatics of being successful in college (really professional) sports.
    Pearl had an unauthorized bbq, and had the rifleman mildly involved in the fbi scandal I think. Child’s play. He’s not my #1, but he’s pretty good and I’d take almost anything over having to suffer through Woody’s system, attitude , ineptitude and excuses for another year watching the program further burn. Also realize the chance a change is made is negligible.
     
    Oh yeah - fire Mike Woodson.

    Boom.

    Finally someone said it outloud.

    The administration doesn’t deserve anything. They have knowingly ruined any chance we’ve had for 30 years. It’s been glaringly obvious to many fans paying attention. Get the hell out of the way and let someone who knows what they are doing take control.

    95% of my frustrations for years has been against the administration. Yet the coaches get the heat. I mean, they’ve mostly sucked too, but they’ve been hamstrung from the beginning.

    Gotta say, this feels an awful lot like the Crean off season besides the 6 million dollar roster opportunity. 
     
    Sparks, and our other backup B1G from south Florida, really another indictment on Woody and staff’s eye for talent, vision, and system.  
     
    It’s hard to find things Woody does well if I’m being honest.

    Odds this staff puts together a top 25 roster for preseason?

    7%

    Odds this staff finishes the season in the top 25?

    1%

    And more or less, this is their expectation.
