Southside

With TJD coming back along with Stewart and the 2 recruits, all the poo poo about his inability to recruit should start to subside. Great first week for Woodson.

That's pretty frank lol. Archie always seemed pretty stale to be honest, and the kids really didn't look like they were having fun. This is a huge win for the program. I think it's best for TJD too. If he can work on his intermediate shot, it would do wonders for his stock.

Optimism wins! Hooray for optimism lol.. Getting TJD and Stewart IMO is big. Keeping the 2 recruits as well. Guessing we'll see some more dominoes fall not that TJD is coming back. Would love to see a big name or two transfer in too.

Looks like modifying the poll, reset the poll. The font size increased too. Or is that my imagination due to breakout.

You F'n rock. What did you increase to? TY

It would have been separate threads/polls. Support reached out to me about increasing limits going forward. Patience.

My mind is fuzzy . I have had 2 cocktails while watching IU. lol. Not sure at all on the rules. I was going to research, but spent all night on the phone with family. When I settle in tonight or tomorrow, going to google more. Not sure if there's a lot of published data on the topic though. I think it's an thinly addressed topic.

nope. polls, as far as I know (on Invision software platform) only allow one post of polls at the top per thread. what can be done, but it would take a system admin to do, is to allow for more Qs. another board I'm on allows for more Qs IIRC. this software though is a lot better than others like vbul, etc.

System limitations on # of questions. I tried.

Sampson's boys looking good. Mulkey's girls come back roaring after being down big to Ucon.

I believe they will be back too, but what if we get a few rock stars at their position vs the portal. Unlikely I know. I agree folks should have voted yes for both at this point. I did. I think the comment is really "why isn't everyone voting yes for those two"

I'm not sure of the rules, but thought I saw some say he can recruit, just not go on recruiting visits. And he can work with the players, just not be on the bench during games. Could be totally wrong. IDK? I do know FB programs have a lot of creative mixes. Bama for instance has all kinds of non-assistants recruiting (not visits), and helping with coaching (at practice, and in the box, not sideline). I'll spend some time looking for the rules tonight after a cocktail.

?

Don't forget Viagra. The Assembly Hall advertisements would be lit lol. In all seriousness, Woodson doesn't look 63 at all. Brown doesn't look 80, but he was already short and balding. Give me those two, and two young hot shots. Matta is in the middle, but he looks older than his age.

Whatever it takes. Hell, I'd booster-fund a scooter for Larry and a weekly supply of Ensure.

A boy can dream. Out of the 3, give me one old evil doer, and 2 young hot shots.

The Scooter army!

I loved it too. Things may not work out, and I wasn't blown away by the hire at first, but it's starting to feel "right" I'm sure some of the woke army spit their food up though with all the RMK mentions the last 24 hours.

Good games tonight. Really sucks that both Women's and Men's are on at the same time. Baylor and Ucon is simply awesome given the names, IU is of course of interest because they are ******* Indiana. Then you have OSU vs Sampson's Houston. Then Ark/Baylor. Whoever did the scheduling should be rounded up and flogged. Gonna have a cocktail or 5 tonight.

Yup. Thanks for posting the figure. I said a few times this month, this is absolutely the best year to build a team, or plug holes via transfers. I could see Woodson and Matta doing some good work on transfers. I'm too the point I don't think we'll have a "lost" year at all.

The only person I have departing is Race, who I think just wants to get closer to home perhaps. I wouldn't be surprised though if he was back. We'll see how Woodson's first recruiting challenge goes, but I think he's going to do pretty well keeping the kids here, and keeping them committed. I think there is also something to be said about starting something new for kids.

Guessing we'll start hearing who is staying and going. Thought this might be fun.

I'd frame it up as national ranking (# of 5 stars) and tourney status I'd also include all the years, not just the good ones. The stars came later, after the success. Butler 2000 - NR - R32 Xavier 2001 - NR - R32 2002 -NR - R32 2003 - not top 50 - E8 OSU 2004 - #39 (0) - ineligible 2005 - no signees - R32 2006 - #3 (2) - Runner up 2007 - #5 (1) - NIT Champ 2008 - #5 (2) - R64 2009 - no signees - S16 2010 - #3 (2) - S16 2011 - #6 (0) - F4 2012 - not top 50 - E8 2013 - #39 (0) - R64 2014 - #6 (1) - R32 2015 - #5 (0) - NIT 2R 2016 - #42 (0) - NA So 8 elite five star kids in 17 years. And 6 of 8 were from 3 years. Not saying he didn't get talent, but the talent followed the success. And he coached and developed to get to that level of success. I also am not sure he won't help in developing. No reason he can't be at practice.

This is probably the best year ever to build a team, or plug holes via transfers.

After reading the presser and listening to DD interview, I'm getting happier and happier. Very closed to being pumped! DD is still a Dbag....
