Woodson's style might have actually worked in the early aughts. Of course, at that time he would probably be using systems from the 70s.

This is just a placeholder for next flavor of the month which we'll probably find out about next month. Last March and early this season it was May many people were calling for. That has died down a bit and now it's Schertz. Let's not forget that before them it was Michael Lewis. Before him it was someone else. Next month it'll probably be someone new. Both have solid resumes at their respective levels but both are risks.

No, I mean from the officials. Djd they do anything? 1Not what set him off.

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.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/riley-nowakowski-1.html 39 total games over 5 years. 34 of those in the last 3 years.

Doesn't look like much of a receiving threat but maybe he's a good blocker? Also, they're not all going to be starter quality. IU needs some depth as well. He's played 34 games for a B1G team the last 3 years so he brings experience at this level with a team that has been good more often than not.

Indeed. It also says something if he didn't know who had the responsibility to scout the next opponent.

I listened to the podcast. #2 - I took that as the bigger issue is that going on recruiting trips was more about the golf than the actual recruiting. #4 - I recall it was more that Woodson thought they were playing another team than they actually were, not that they actually repaired to play that team. Came to the meeting thinking they were playing MSU (based on a prediction) instead of UM and asked who was scouting MSU. Ya made a joke about it being the wrong team and that set Woodson off. So Woodson didn't even bother to find out who IU was actually playing before going into the meeting, just went by a prediction he saw. Then was thin-skinned and took offense to a joke.

TDH has on the portal tracker page that Beau Pribula, backup QB from Penn State is visiting. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-transfer-portal-tracker-following-the-2024-regular-season/

Assuming all the smoke about Buckner using is position to force the Woodson hire and then to keep him when he obviously wasn't up to the job is correct, it could be a political minefield to appoint him again. Re-appointing someone that abused his power? Not a good look.
