Hoosier Roots

No NBA arena captures even 1/10 of the magic that makes Assembly Hall, Cameron Indoor, of Phog Field house special. The only exception would be like Madison Square Garden.

Being the team to beat to land top 10 burger boys is definitely something I could get used to

When was the last time we beat out Kansas for a big time recruit like this? I know we’ve had some blockbuster battles with UK and UNC, especially under Crean, but seriously when was the last time we went toe to toe with Kansas or Duke and came out on top?

Would be pretty sweet to have Carmelo pulling up to Assembly Hall on a regular basis. That’s a dude who still has a lot of clout with most kids.

This is one of the most peculiar recruitments I think I have ever seen on this board. Advising your client to turn down larger compensation packages from two massive basketball brands with strong NBA pipelines for a program that was literally the worst team in college basketball last season is extremely strange advice. I mean for Christ sake a Kansas alum was just named MVP and CMW must be one of the most well NBA connected coaches in CBB. If that doesn’t bode well for a second NBA contract I dont know what would. I wonder if this is being driven by some sort of internal agency politics or some angle from his agent and MM is receiving some shaky advice rather than having a real conviction to go to Louisville?

YEAHYUH let’s throw everything we have at this kid

Yeah it seems like every year I meet a decent amount of people from colleges and cities surrounding IU/ Indiana out at bars or parties.

Honestly sounds like something that would have happened at IU under previous administrations.

Can’t say how happy I am that we’re finally the ones outbidding for top talent and not getting burned in these kind of recruitments.

PAIN

Seems like the kind of player that just has a bag. It’s a draw string bag from the YMCA rec league but still a bag.

That’s it I’m done hedging my emotions and I’m ready to BELIEVE. WARE TO IU BABY LETS GOOOO

Moving to Manhattan from Bloomington this fall and was not looking forward to not being able watch in person IU games for the first time in my life. Love this.

This is one of the weirdest meltdowns I can remember this board having in awhile lol.

I’m pretty confident in Woodson’s ability to handle primadonnas after coaching in the NBA for so long.
