  1. I visit both sites so I don't remember which it is was. I just remember one poster being very adamant about it and arguing with everyone who didn't agree. He, if course, turned out to be wrong. Point being that even though I can see how it seems like a tell, I don't think it really is. Especially following a girl
  2. Maybe it was on HSN, but I remember this being touted as a tell by one poster during the Ledlum recruitment. It didn't really work out then and I wouldn't put too much stock into it now.
  3. Yeah, it's a good pick up. Swimswam only ranks top 20, then they have an honorable mention which is the next ~5 swimmers. These tend to be swimmers that are elite (top of the class) at a few events and/or very versatile and are good for relays. Then they have Best of the Rest, which are other really good swimmers worth mentioning but might be only pretty good at fewer events or not quite as fast as the elite. She is currently ranked by them in this category. Very good but not top of the class. Kind of like a 4* basketball player. Plus, she's just a junior so she has time to improve before even getting to IU.

  5. Wow. That's really....something. Who thought that was a good idea?
  6. Especially if that algorithm doesn't take into account the schools he's actually considering at the time.
  7. I'm too young to remember watching this but I have never seen pictures or videos with the 3-point line closer than the top of the key. That would be pretty crazy if it was that close.
  8. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine says he'll end up at.... Michigan. lmao, that thing is so broken. It has UM at 19.9%, IU 17.4%, UK 14.9%, and UNC (lol) 12.4%. Rivals future cast has IU 100%, no 247 CB. https://www.on3.com/db/boogie-fland-64138/
  9. Yes, what you say about McNeeley is correct. I think Mgbako is considered as more of a scorer who is a decent shooter.
  10. In his case, even that wasn't a done deal. Not even enrolling in school and starting practice was a done deal for him.
  11. @Uspshoosier explains above, they saw him play and he wasn't playing well due to injury. 5 rating points seems to be a pretty steep drop considering all the other times he's been playing well.
  12. As for #2, Woodson has only coached for 3 off-seasons in college ball. So this is really his only second chance at long recruitments. It looks like he's learned from past misses. IU offered McNeeley in April of 2022, so 1 1/2 years ago. How many recruitments of that length did IU have of anywhere near that length in Woodson's second off-season? At that time, Woodson had only 1 season of play to point at as far trying to convince recruits. Basically, he was still new to college coaching and it was a small sample size. I understand it was the guy from HH saying it, it just seems like a premature statement to make. What has changed is that he had more time to get to know Liam and his family, he has 2 seasons to point at with the most recent one being pretty successful, he's had more commitments from highly ranked recruits, he's put 2 players into the NBA with one of those a one-and-done from Liam's school. It certainly didn't hurt that JHS has been vocal with how going to IU helped him. Success breads success, so ifIU does well this season and Mgbako and/or Ware get drafted in the first round this year, Woodson will have an even better chance of landing players of this caliber.

  14. Having Queen's very good friend who can remind him every day (directly or not) who he can be playing with next year certainly won't hurt.
  15. I wonder what happened in September? 247 slashed his rating by 5 points in less than a week. On 9/7 they had him at a 98 rating and then on 9/13 they dropped the rating to 93 which is also his lowest. This after he played well over the summer. Seems like a mistake to me. Makes them look clueless. That's why I prefer the composite. More importantly is who is recruiting him hard. I think those coaches know better than 247. https://247sports.com/PlayerSport/boogie-fland-at-archbishop-stepinac-273597/RecruitRankHistory/?history=top247
  16. Nor should it. If the administration doesn't care about the football team, why should the fans? That would just tell the AD that the fans will be there regardless and won't lead to any change.
  17. That would be a home run hire. I heard he's the best coach of all time. Seriously, though, is it still thought that Boogie will announce his decision tomorrow? Or just sometime soon with no idea of when exactly?
  18. Time to start worrying? Sure, IU landed McNeeley but that was a whole hour ago and Fland still hasn't committed. Let's face it, Woodson has lost it and can't recruit. Who has he landed in the last hour since McNeeley? No one!
  19. That's because the football team has been bad because the administration doesn't care. If they don't care and put forth any effort, why should the fans?
  20. It's quiet because he's in decision mode so nothing is really changing looking from the outside. Coaches can't visit him so it's just waiting for the announcement, which might be as early as tomorrow.
  21. Because we also don't spend very much on that sport, even with greatly overpaying the HC. We go cheap on assistants, recruiting, facilities, etc.
