Great pickup at this point or any point really.  The size plays right away.  Welcome to IU!

da hell? this has to go down in the BTB hall of fame for quickest recruit thread start to commitment. 

I won't complain! Go Hoosiers. 

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

As a junior, he averaged 22.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game. Bates was a 44 percent three-point shooter who shot 58 percent from the floor overall and 88 percent from the free-throw line in 2019-20.

"and what it is is EXACTLY clear".. WOODY and CO are kicking @$$!

[JaybobHoosier]

Heck yes, what a way to start off a Monday!!!!! Lets go!!

[Demo]

Tough to stress how good a get this is. He will walk in and help.

[Stuhoo]

Wow.

Just wow.

I remember a pm that a very excellent poster and I had when Woody's name first came up and a lot of people were trashing him--the other poster knows Woody's family and I was doing a whole lot of research. 

Our collective takeaway? "Why the hell didn't Indiana hire Mike Woodson five or thirteen years ago."

So his IMG  teammate Efton Reid was set to announce between FSU, OSU LSU. And Pitt last Thur. He suddenly postponed his decision with no explanation  Just my own thought, but maybe it's something or nothing.

Our guard play is going to be so much better this year than it was last year. Brought in Xavier Johnson/Stewart/Bates, along with hopefully improvements from Lander. I cannot wait for this season to get started.

Glad we have a shooter with size coming in - Woodson giving us more to be excited about. 

He could probably use a couple Hinkle burgers and appointments with Clif everyday over the summer :)

Indiana hasn't been connected to him at all. That said that would be incredible if Woody and company pulled that off.

BOOM - We have a commitment.

Woodson and staff just got a top 60 commitment where the kid could of followed the coach that he committed to first to Marquette(they would of made room for him).    Not sure we should worry about whether he can recruit.  Lol.  Congrats to the staff and to Tamar

Not to mention if Rob can get his confidence back. Look out!

If we don't make it to the dance this year..
