    I'd like to see Mack maybe try to back her defender down a little more. 
    She's taking a dribble, then trying that 6-foot push shot.

    Appreciate the insight. The recruiting info is even more interesting,  hard to believe, than your gastrointestinal updates.

    It’s not mis-leading at all. Everyone I referenced were portal guys and I was responding to the comment that portal guys rarely impact teams. They do.
    I didn’t say they all switched this past season. UCONN’s leading scorer, Newton, arrived at UCONN via the portal, played at East Carolina for three years but you don’t count him as a portal guy? Doesn’t make sense.

    Portal guys can help….a lot.
    The top 2 scorers for #1 UCONN are portal guys. 3/4 of their top scoring guards are portal guys.
    #1 seed UNC has four double point a game scorers. 2/4 of them are portal guys.
    #1 seed Houston’s leading scorer is a portal guy
    #2 seed Arizona’s top FOUR scorers are all portal guys
    #2 seed Iowa State’s leading scorer is a portal guy as are 2/4 of their double point a game guys (and 6/8 of their top scorers)
    #2 seed Tennessee’s leading scorer is a portal guy (21.9 a game and their next highest scorer is at 11.9)
    Many other examples such as Kansas top 2 scorers are portal guys, etc etc etc.

    NC State brought in 7.  Grand Canyon brought in 6.  Florida brought in 6.  It's certainly better to not have to bring tons of players in through the portal but I have to so that I'm not sure IU would be better off bringing in 4 transfers but having Banks, Gunn, and Sparks back.

    My guess (nothing more) is he’ll put his name in draft to explore options but will come back if he doesn’t hear info that would encourage him to leave.  Think unless he hears he’s a first round pick (doubt he hears that), he’ll be back.

    We hear that argument every year and these guys transfer to a lower level and still aren’t very good. Let’s quit giving these players a pass. They just aren’t good enough.

    Imagine IU last year with Brice Williams and Marcus Domask (two random B10 guard transfers that weren't highly sought after) at the expense of Ware who was a top 5 portal entrant. IU with Domask and Williams wins 23-24 games this year and is comfortably in the tournament. There's a Domask or a Brice Williams every portal cycle, multiple of them. Construct the roster properly this year and go from there.

    Wasn't expecting Ware back.
    I would have traded Ware for two higher end guards this year and wouldn't have thought twice about it.

    I get the sentiment of having a lot of raw talent, but all three of our 5* were underclassmen and the two sophomores didn't play a whole hell of a lot the year prior. Someone like a 23-year-old Boo Buie is much better and much more valuable than any underclassmen 5*.
    Reality is that the roster was so poorly constructed last year, and the back court was in fact, just not any good. IU is a tournament team this year with a competent lead guard and they're a top 25 team with two. Getting two good guards in the portal changes everything for next with the pieces that are expected back. Obviously easier said than done, but it's doable.
    I want Woody gone as much as the next guy, but not going to let it cloud my judgement strictly in terms of next season. I hate the trajectory of the program but am never going to root for the demise of the team.

    I’m guessing I am in the minority here but I completely agree with the above statement from Kathy.
    In my opinion she has provided a number of interesting tidbits but many have blasted her as if she is defending the current status quo when in fact she has been describing what is going on as opposed to saying the current situation is acceptable.

    You could be talking about pretty much any player at a P5 team with that statement.  I'm fine with players only playing at a certain college for the money -- as long as they are worth that money.

    So they have basically fired Woodson but effective next year?!?!
    WTF.
    Nothing says incompetent more than willfully agreeing to endure another poor season while also being willing to negatively impact recruiting for the next 2 seasons.
    The administration has to exit the echo chamber of “we must tread lightly with Woody” and look at the big picture. At this point they are on the verge of taking the worst path possible (other than extending him).

    Maybe Cig can get several JMU basketball players to transfer to IU.
