    So it seems Woodson may buy a few high high talent players. But as far as cooking that is like the line cook at Taco Bell buying some truffles to add to his special recipe for inside out tacos. Then the same cook blaming the truffles when the meat falls all over the floor and the patrons are left with an empty shell and demand someone be held responsible.
    But the cook ain't worried, his bff is the manger and the two just swill Olde English and  smoke Swisher Sweets by the dumpster while watching the Golf Channel while on break.

    Trey reminds me a lot of Will Sheehey.  A phenomenal role player on the right team, but not a top 3 option on offense type of player.

    So torn. The fan in me hopes he gets a few guys. I think I know the answer, but is there enough pride and will to win that he adjusts to what he does? He finally stopped his ridiculous rotations and substitutions and played guys more minutes. It cost him the Rutgers game and the KENPOM rating in barely beating the buy game teams.
    The other side of me hopes he bombs and we finally end this nightmare coaching hire. Just don't know how to feel and it's sad as a lifelong fan.

    He'll do just enough in the portal to get people excited on paper for next season. It looks to me that a lot of posters have already forgotten how bad of a coach he is when you don't see it every other night.

    Looking at the Kenpom top 50 teams, there just aren't a lot of big name or proven coaches that you can see moving from their current schools.  Pearl and Brian Dutcher are 64 already and the rest wouldn't meet the big name or proven coach requirement that people want to put on the program.  Chris Collins might be the best we could get.  This is why missing on Dusty was so frustrating to me and many on this board.

    This will be the best thing said in this thread today. I'm sure of it and it's only 10:30 in the morning, Eastern Time. LOL
    If Leal plays 20 minutes a game next year, IU isn't sniffing the tournament. The reason that IU was better at the end of the season was three-fold. 
    1.) KW was playing out of his mind.
    2.) MM had finally figured out how to play at the college level.
    3.) IU's opponents weren't very good. And the one "good" opponent was massively inconsistent. 
    If LCS thinks any "success" that IU experienced last year was predicated on Leal getting 20+ minutes in any game, I don't know what to tell you. I'd love to have the opportunity to sell LCS some amazing, life-changing products, though...LOL

    Suggesting Leal playing at least 20 min a game is the secret formula for IU winning games is exactly what I would expect to see on page 943 of a fire Mike Woodson thread.  Woodson has officially broken people's brains.

    You’re using a 5 game sample size during which IU played 1 tournament team (a Michigan State team that went 20-15). We didn’t exactly play a murderer’s row of opponents in those games. You’re cherry picking. Leal had games where he played 18, 17, and 16 minutes which we lost. If you expand it to conference games where he played double digit minutes, i.e., when he was in the rotation, IU went 7-7.

    IMO anything over an IU scholarship is paying Leal too much and shows just how desperate this staff is.

    Honestly I'm sorry, but this post irritates me almost as much as Leal's comments do. Who are you to tell me who I need to root for? I've always been an IU fan but don't mistake that for having blind, unconditional support.
    A 21 year old kid who has hardly any athleticism and barely contributes to the team, yet has 6 figures in his bank account BECAUSE of the fan support, tells those same fans "there's a reason you aren't coaches" or "you just need to chill" when the team had underperformed at 18-13 just rubs me the wrong way.
    And thus, makes it harder to root for them. Rant over.

    So now that Dusty is on his way out can we start the Woodson to FAU rumors?

    Long time reader, first time poster. 
    Coach Portal should have been shown the door at seasons end and definitely after his lone recruit left. It’s obvious that coach Portal and his staff doesn't want to put in the effort that it takes to be a good recruiter, let alone a great recruiter. The writing was on the wall when MM’s mom contacted coach Portal about her son wanting to play at IU! 
    Now the team is going to go from a $hit show to one of a liquid form next year and a new coach won’t have a chance at getting his hooks into the 25’ class of in state players. It’s sad. I’ve been an IU fan for over 40 years now and I’ve never been so down on any team that I support in any sport, btw I’m a Cubs fan. I feel it’s only going to get worse because who would want to play for a lame duck coach that has split the fan base? I’m not a rocket scientist nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn, but I’d guess there aren’t very many! 
    Btw Chris 007 keep doing what you do! Who cares if someone is butt hurt over something you said!

    I'm not sure why people are getting worked up about the accuracy of what people have heard and reported.  This is the cable news generation.  I don't care how accurate the report is as long as it agrees with the narrative that I want to hear.

    Not sure if I should share this or not but the feedback IU is getting from the portal so far, from kids who should be a layup for IU is not going well. When a player's camp tells you that you need to change your offense and pay them a lot of money to get them it's not good.

    While being stunned to learn that USC has fans, they seem convinced that Andy to SMU is absurd. Something to consider. Andy likes $ way more than he ever liked and Dallas housing is like 1/3 of LA and Texas has no state income tax. Do we think it’s happening? ~70% yes.

    Rumored he’s on the hotseat. Plenty of money to go around at SMU now that they’re on their way to the ACC. Might as well start anew before you’re fired. USC basketball isn’t exactly a top program either.

    He must see the writing on the wall if so.  I mean, It had to be internally/externally toxic over there with the season they had plus Bronny and the #1 recruit of the class.  Terrible season.  
    If this happens, USC will probably try to go big.  The 4 Pac12 teams are definitely gonna add an extra element to the B1G.  Everyone is swinging big.
