And if you’re good at it, the fans never know. Take Villanova, for example. Lots of people think they’re ‘clean,’ but I’d bet money that they’re operating in the gray area. Even Crean had a few questionable recruits during his time here. We gotta be willing to play on a level playing field if we want IU basketball to be where he wants it to be. 
 

I’m sure Larry Brown has told Woody a thing or two, lol. Maybe we’ll have him operating back channels. 

Sad but true. In fact it has probably never been as clean as some of us want to think.

Oh absolutely. Just look at UCLA back in the day with Coach Wooden. Sam Gilbert was giving players cars, cash, and clothes at every turn. I think it is probably more rampant now, but it’s been a part of college sports for a long time.

Also he comes up in the Dawkins saga because he meets with Dawkins and Blazer and undercovers and says “whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it,” apparently with respect to recruiting players.

I would not jump to conclusions that it means he’d run cash or trade favors inappropriately. Seems like he’s in a meeting with some handler-types and just says some boilerplate thing to me.

I’m not naive, but this is far from concerning absent other stuff, and if there was “other stuff” it would’ve come up. This was a fed operation with subpoenas of bank records and so on.

IU wasn’t as clean as many of our fans want to believe.

Probably still in the background phase and paperwork.  Still has to get approved I would imagine but this is Woodsons choice according to Rabjohns 

99% sure this is an accurate assessment of what is going on right now.

[Hoosierfan1901]

Hmm, only 2 boards are talking about this and no Twitter talk the last 3 hours..

[Hoosierfan1901]

Here he goes again

Missed this one

[Uspshoosier]

Gary Trent Jr.’s 89.5 FG% tonight marks the 2nd highest field goal percentage for any player with 44+ points in a game during the shot clock era (1954-55), trailing only Mike Woodson (48 PTS on 91.7 FG%) in 1983.

I think there will be an announcement soon

[Hoosierfan1901]

Judging by thread titles from Peegs, it appears Rosemond is trending

[JHoosier914]

bring him on.  Lets get this staff settled to focus on the development/offseason.

Yup. Even the Indystar tossed his name out (the only name they used) today when talking about likely assistants.

Some guy on Twitter is saying it’s Rosemond, but it’s one of the random IU fan accounts. However, it looks like they called Franklin to UVA hours before he decided to commit there. But could have been looking at the boards

[Hoosierfan1901]

My Prediction: It has to be Rosemond since there has been stuff trending. Like all those recent follows from people affiliated with IU, and lots of chatter of apparently on Peegs. And if he is hired, I don’t know what to expect from him, can’t tell if he is good or bad. But hopefully he ends up being one hell of an hire

[cybergates]

If he brings Jabari with him hell be worth it for that alone for at least a few years

[kottke]

Hypothetically, if Jabari came, would Trace play the 4 even though he can’t shoot outside? I don’t see how this works based on 4-1. Maybe Woodson just adapts to make it work.

Does he have a nephew that is about 6'5" and hits about 40% from behind the arc?  Asking for a friend.  (The Smith kid would be a big land but I think we may still need some shooting on next year's team.)

Well... for one year

Smith for one year. I think it buys Rosemond a few. Cunningham's brother got 2 and it doesn't appear he brought much other than Cade to the team. Rosemond seems more legit as a coach
