Sisley is not a Woodson recruit. The kid commuted here despite Woodson. He was coming here regardless of who the coach was. Like someone said a true Hoosier through and through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doubt this at all. Talk to Dad yesterday and ask who the next coach was since they were up there this weekend. He said no clue and no one will know because Dolson said he’s keeping it very close. He then went and said if he had to guess beard or McCollum or someone like that. Trents dad is a former coach he gets it. Trent is here to stay unless something insane happens. I can tell you he would love it if beard were hired. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve actually talked to Trent’s dad about the hire and who we thought it would be. Unless he’s keeping it under wraps they have no idea just like us. He just mentions that Dolson calls them and keeps in touch often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve talked to them and they would be for sure. Also would love beard because I’m he is a winner and that’s all they want to do is win. Trent came to IU because it’s IU. I think Indiana would have to really botch this to not get Trent still. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not as big of a deal as you think especially with how this season has gone. Coaches are competitors too and most want to move up to their own jobs. Things get heated in the moment. As a former coach I don’t want yes men as assistants. I want guys to be honest and give me their opinions on what they would do, see, decide, so on and so fourth. It’s my job as the head coach to then decide what I believe to be best overall. And either live with the outcome. That’s what the head coach gets paid for. Assistants should know it doesn’t always go there way and as a head coach I know sometimes I should have followed their advice and be able to recognize and learn from that. So if I’m Woody after the game it’s a simple conversation. “Hey ya I think I messed up. I made a bad decision and you were right we should have fouled and I should have taken your advice. My bad man. Keep throwing me good ideas.” And the whole thing is squashed because your assistant fell valued and heard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This for sure! Trent committed despite Woodson. I haven’t talked to them personally about this being true, and they would never admit it because that’s the family they are, but yea wouldn’t surprise me if they are rooting for a change like us all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jeffersonville would definitely be the best one to catch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is most likely true being close to the situation. IU got Trent and it wasn’t because Woodson. I firmly believe if Woodson leaves Trent still comes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The lineup held up defensively but offensively it was bad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The defense has been really good as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve never heard them talk about Howard but know they love Walsh. Can also add that Trent just really wanted to play for Indiana so in the end it may not matter who stays or goes after or during this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea not excited about the sub patterns as well. First game of the year play your top 8 until you’re up 25+. No rhythm and those guys need reps together. Cupps and hatton do not need to be playing minutes right now unless we are up big. Just mind boggling. Maybe Woodson will adjust and fix it for the rest of the game.

That’s all Trent. Kid loves the gym! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I always felt like he would end up a Hoosier but talked with both mom and dad last week and they gave zero indication he would be a Hoosier. This one was tight lipped for sure. Glad to have him on board. Not going to lie pretty cool to have a kid I’ve worked out and coached many time being a Hoosier Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trent switching AAU teams had nothing to do with haralson and not liking him. I do not believe whether IU gets haralson or doesn’t has any affect on whether they get Trent or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s been contemplated by him since entering high school. It almost came to fruition last year but he ultimately chose to stay at HH. Good for him. He’s not looking for other offers this is purely for developmental purposes. Honestly if kids have dreams of playing at the highest level this is the way to go. No offense to high school coaches, I use to be one, but let’s face it these are basketball factories with mega basketball benefits an Indiana high school just doesn’t offer. Even better now that some of these kids make life changing money for 4 years even if they don’t make it to the next level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I second this. I’ve heard first hand how well he has done with Trent and how much his family loves Walsh. I seriously doubt Walsh is the issue with any recruit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hatton is a good kid but plz just no. This is not the type of backup big we want if he is going to need to play any minutes at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put me in the group that doesn’t have much faith newton will be feasible. Wasn’t a high level recruit (top 30) and hasn’t played in awhile with major injuries. I hope I’m wrong but wouldn’t be counting on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea but he also left that program. You could be right but haven’t heard any of that from them. Granted we haven’t talked about where Trent would play much anytime I’ve talked to them. Louisville would make sense being as it’s an hour drive and super easy from their house but atm I just don’t see it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would you think that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes but how many of those recruits have chosen to play for IU or has committed to IU? If they love it so much then why do we only have one class of 24 signed and losing interest daily with the 25 class? Woodson also said he wanted to get to a 4 out 1 in offense obviously that wasn’t true. People say stuff all the time usually actions speak louder than words. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This isn’t true necessarily from a system standpoint. I happen to know one family being recruited by indiana who is not a fan of the system and offense being ran. To think kids nowadays like playing in this slow pace offense with the lack of 3 point shooting I think is being naive because that is not the landscape of the game anymore. You really just have to watch warm ups at any level to get this picture. It’s a race to the 3 point line to shoot, shoot, and shoot more 3’s. Also why the big ten struggles getting the top talent each year because the brand of big ten ball isn’t appealing and isn’t really successful in the tournament either.

Owen’s was down to see Trent the other day. I do know that the Sisley family are huge fans of Walsh as well and say he has done a good job with Trent recruitment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not true at least for Sisley anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
