Woodson or an assistant should have talked to Ray Looze (swim coach) on how to effectively use NIL and the portal. For this year they've added an Olympic Gold medalist, a World Champion, and 2 NCAA runners up. Then today they added an Olympic bronze medalist for the 2nd semester. That's how you do transfers. They also have a legit chance to win the championship this year. Too late now for Woodson. He got his chance and blew it.

Awesome. Countering Texas' mid-season Chris Guiliano addition with this. Love it. I especially love that he is also a great freestyle sprinter. That'll help relays and could score some points where IU is weaker. How amazing would a 100 breast final at the NCAAs be with 4 IU swimmers be? I also love that Rafael Miroslaw recruited him at the SC World Championships.

They were in the building and running around on the court. Does that count?

Did he sign? If so, it may not be easy for him.

I'm pretty sure this was at least part of the reason why IU played Auburn in Atlanta last year. I use the term "played" as a technicality.

Yes. Let's fire Mike Woodson and not un-fire Davis or Miller. Maybe this time put forth real effort and thought into the hiring process.

The problem here (as with many of the other problems the NCAA has had) is inconsistency. There are other routes players take between HS and NCAA which don't count against them even though they're still competing. Prep school is one of the examples given. This is a problem of the NCAA's own making.

Davis' recruiting was a big problem and it certainly wouldn't have been helped by more money. He wasn't good at evaluating talent, instead he just went after the highest rated players he could find. He didn't care if they actually fit. Money may have helped him land some of his misses but it wouldn't have made him better at that. He also had problems putting together a well rounded roster with depth since he didn't take fit or roster building into account - just their ranking. It's interesting how after 7+ seasons of Miller and Woodson, even Davis starts to look good to some people and a few wish for a return of Crean. No thanks.

I believe that was @Stuhoo. I'm more interested in seeing the new names that come up rather than the 3 retreads you mentioned above. McCollum is a (mostly) new name but he already has his own thread. We already have a couple of interesting names and there will probably be 1 or 2 more to add before the end of the season. There usually is a late season darling or two.

Names I've seen mentioned on these boards: Alan Huss Bucky McMillan

Yes, Davis was not a good coach. Let's not forget the Conley f-up that also lost any chance at Oden.

At least with him you know if they're not winning it's not for lack of effort. The same can't be said about the current or previous IU coaches.

What happened to 71 red? Twice he started something.

Notre Dame suspended their men's swim program for the year because of gambling by a large number of the athletes. Are they the only sport on campus which did that? Highly doubtful.

I appreciate your still finding and sharing all this info on HS recruits even though it's probably meaningless.
