The later is more the truth. They weren’t really that close

Hardly

You aren’t wrong about some of the takes that were made this time last year. There were a lot of people arguing that X, Cupps and if needed Galloway were all we needed at point and that Galloway and Gunn were all we needed at the 2. people also had some ridiculous takes on how good CJ Gunn was going to be etc. that is how far we have fallen in one year. That blind faith and optimism that Woody expects fans to have was killed by him and this team.

What time is the meeting at today?

That is not a process. “Group effort” is not a real answer and if so, it means we don’t have a process and that explains a lot regarding the level of stupidity in which governs our university. Unless there is an established voting system, someone has to have the final say - who is that in this case?

You didn’t answer the question. Who has final say? Unless there is a voting system, 1 individual has the ability to make the final call

Trey returning next year is my guess

Were you discussing the big meeting on Tuesday?

Is it Tuesday yet? I can’t wait to hear what comes out of this meeting!

You seem to be lost. You’re in the fire Woodson thread, it’s where we talk about firing woodson

I pray that Dolson has the guts to cut him loose

Is there a link/invite to that server?

Yep! That narrative was preached pretty heavily here on this forum. It has never been true

We could have landed Bruce Pearl the last 3 times

Not sure I like that starting 5

No. He road the coattails of of the previous coach and even with one of the top 5 players in the country that he inherited he got bounced in the first round of the tournament. Now that he has a team of his own guys he may not make the NIT

I’m still not sure what you are even saying? “They committed early because they wanted to go to Purdue” yeah, that is usually why kids commit to a program… Of course they wanted to go there, I’ve never seen a kid choose a school they didn’t want to go to. The point that you are ignoring is that they weren’t predisposed to go there. It wasn’t their birthright. Mike Davis and a million other factors were a part of it including Purdue’s ability to identify under recruited players and prioritize them. these kids weren’t Oden and Conley recruits, but even they were ignored/screwed up by IU. These 3 Purdue kids that changed their program were not blue chip kids but ones that were prioritized by PU above any other school. Name me one school/IU that recruited those 3 kids harder than Purdue. You can’t. That’s the point. IU screed the pooch on them, Oden, Conley and a gazillion other kids due to incompetence

I’m not sure what you are arguing. No team owns an area or kid. Every recruitment is a different situation and each kid has different wants and goals. There was no destiny with these kids, they were just recruited really hard and well by PU and they were hooked. IU could have done that but they didn’t. They were in a state of instability and incompetence from a coaching perspective. Sean May grew up in Bloomington and always planned on going to IU until coaching Instability and incompetence became an issue. That incompetence and instability has been a part of who we are ever since.

I think you are missing the point. They were all in on PU because IU wasn’t the same IU at that point and we didn’t focus on them like we should have. That was a big turning point that had been brewing for years

I like the idea of Schwartz at IU but not worried by DePaul. If he goes there, it’s not going to be hard to pry him from there.

True, but what are you supposed to do with that mail? Why does it still arrive at my house after the previous owners changed their mailing address when they moved 2.5 years ago? it’s never stopped coming and we used to email them and they would swing by once a month but this is too much

Pot calling the kettle black. Aren’t you the one that repeatedly said you can’t believe the police when it came to MM? what’s different?

Ok, I wasn’t looking for assumptions. I have heard from some folks that work at IU that Woody had no interest nor plans on a second contract and that his plan was to revitalize the program quickly and hand it off in a good place. So, I have heard that and who is to say there isn’t a coach in waiting already on staff or that they don’t have a plan to bring one in. It’s year 3 of a 6 year contract so there is time. While some have thrown Fife under the bus, I don’t think he was that far off in the things he was saying

If you are to believe a lot of folks that were close to things, yes. Not a popular comment but likely true

This goes back to my question, where are you getting that he wasn’t brought in as a 3 or 4 year thing? I have heard otherwise but all hearsay - I imagine this is too?
