Getting Rice, Carlyle, a shooter (BH or Hickman), and a defensive 5 who can play 20-25 mpg along with Reneau, Mgbako, Tucker, and Galloway is a damn good team.

Yes. Who we’re targeting, who we’re getting on campus, etc

Didn’t prioritize the right needs. I feel a lot better about the traction we’ve made with this years edition of the portal over last years.

I’m not saying Woodson has everything under control, simply responding to this narrative that Woodson is neglecting his job duties by golfing and attending a coaching convention this weekend. Nearly every coach in America is doing the same thing.

No set of donors at any university are having a fundraising event that involves its men’s head coach this weekend as they are all down in Phoenix at the NABC Convention, as is customary this time of year, every year during the Final Four. It’s precisely why the dead period exists and is held during this week. How hard is this to understand? Nothing you are saying makes any sense nor is applied to this weekend. I appreciate you thinking of me but maybe it’s time you look in the mirror.

Trust me I get that people have their minds made up, and that’s why logic is completely being thrown out the window. Look at the guy I’ve been replying too.

I’m the only one applying context. You’re talking about Woodson star 69’ing recruits at 8am in the morning and attending private banquets on a Sunday while at a national coaching convention attended by literally every coach in America. What logic are you bringing to this discussion?

It’s tough to process something that doesn’t make sense. Forgive me.

The symbolism of playing golf at 8am on a Sunday morning? As opposed to what? Playing phone tag with a recruit? If I was a recruit and received a call at 8am on a Sunday morning I’d tell whoever called me to lose my number on the spot. Don’t overthink this one, guy.

Who is having a private banquet at 8am on a Sunday morning the night after the F4 lol? Mike Woodson played golf this morning with a massive NIL facilitator, you don’t think they’re talking and back channeling recruits????

Then why bring up the lack of a complete roster? It’s April 7th, the current season isn’t even over. More than half of the 360 some D1 teams have incomplete rosters on this date. There’s over 1000 players in the portal still growing by the day. It’s the new nature of this sport. I don’t get tying Woodson with golfing this morning to that fact. We had 9 players on the roster at this date last year, 2 more than what it is this year.

Admittedly clever, but also completely wrong. At least you tried though.

Agree with all that. But if you were expecting a bunch of portal commits to pop this weekend I don’t know what else to tell you. It wasn’t going to happen regardless if Woodson played golf this morning or not.

You do understand that there are literally over 500 D1 head and assistant coaches in Phoenix right now for the annual NABC convention correct, Mike Woodson included? Mike Woodson playing golf this morning is a literal non-starter, that is unless you have an agenda to push.

Despite calling out your inaccuracies and half-truths, I’ve not once tried to censor or ask you to refrain from sharing your opinions of Mike Woodson.

And not one person is stopping you.

Andrew Hall class of 93. I have nothing to hide.

I’m not doing anything other than providing context. Anyone who thinks Woodson neglected his coaching duties by golfing this morning fail to understand that: a) it’s a recruiting dead period b) he’s at a national coaching convention with 5,000 other coaches c) playing a 4 hour round at 8am on a Sunday with A and B in play has zero impact on a season that starts 7 months from now. Either that are posters are being purposely obtuse, which at this point, is starting to make more sense.

This entire thread is a whine fest lol, what else you call it?

Of course. Driving home a false narrative is immature. That same poster doubled down on it.

I’ve done nothing but provide context. Keep in mind that I don’t have an agenda or narrative to push.

Was simply inquiring as to what was so funny about golfing at a coaching convention during a dead period? You yourself said you didn’t care so not sure why it bothers you?

He’s definitely a mouthpiece for somebody on the staff. Didn’t appreciate his tone and abrasive nature on here, but he’s definitely been right about way more things than anybody else, especially in regards to things posted by Trilly, etc that were patently false.

I absolutely fail to see how golfing on a Sunday morning in April (while the current season is still ongoing) is tied to the success/failure of a season that starts 7 months from now. During a dead recruiting week no less. And if you don’t care about portal success, why go out of your way to try and bring optics into a situation that doesn’t exist in regards to recruiting, that again aren’t in play because it is a dead recruiting week? Again, nobody likes a whiner.

I’m not picking fights with anybody, I’m simply pointing out hypocrisy when I see it. Doesn’t bother me at all that some want Woodson fired, I would have supported a coaching change this offseason had one been made. I just find it funny that you threw shade at Woodson for golfing and not recruiting (during a dead period) in one post and in another post admit you actually don’t even care who Woodson recruits. Nobody likes a whiner.
