I think we definitely need Mgbako to be one and done. If Ware plays the stretch 4, as I expect, and gets drafted that would also be huge. Then Woodson would be able to sell recruits of any position on players he put in the pros.

TJD was the center he made an AA and went from undrafted to probably getting drafted. It would be really big if TJD somehow moves up into the 1st round but I doubt that happens.

JHS at point guard.

Mgbako on the wing.

Ware at the 4.

JHS is gone... do you mean X?

No, I mean JHS. That wasn't the roster for this year, that was the roster he may be able to say he or in the NBA if Ware improves and Mgbako is OAD.

JHS was also a decommit, I don't remember if it was spring or not.

JHS was a Pittsburgh commit before dumping them for IU...

Yes true, good catch! Bates (Shaka/Texas), Reneau (Mike White/Florida), and Mgbako (Duke/Filipowski stays) were all sort of late, one month-ish things, I’m pretty sure JHS had committed early in HS and decommitted, with a bit more lag time. So it fits, I wasn’t thinking of him since it’s a different sort of thing.

I've been sitting on this one for a while. So happy it is finally announced. Welcome home, Calbert.

Still some naysayers but I think this staff has done a fantastic job the last two seasons and in the offseason adding talent. I have full confidence in these guys.

Agree with you. 

Remember 2-3 months ago in this very thread how many people wanted Woody gone?

Remember how grim people were about next year before Ware, MM, etc joined the team? 

Still some naysayers sadly will be a massive understatement the next time a few things don't go well.

I like listening to Woody talk in these things. Lots of coach speak, but he gets his point across. He has a real old school cadence to his media speak which I enjoy.

Did you see his face light up when he started talking about next years team and what they where going to do?  Like a kid on Christmas.

Probably secretly glad to be done babysitting the Archie leftovers.

Great article. Really excited to see what this group does..with an addition of one more player. I love that the national folks are sleeping on IU. I think this could be a really good team. This summer starting on Monday is going to be really important. There is a lot of talent on this team. When was the last time IU had three 5 stars on one team? 2016 with Yogi, JBJ, and Thomas? Add in a 6 year Point Guard...

If Woodson can get this team to stay at the top of the Big Ten and maybe win a few more in the tournament this year, I think this program will take off.

I almost hate to mention this because some people immediately leap to unfounded conclusions but Dylan Harper follows Isaac on Twitter.
