IUBB Pro Day

[Stuhoo]

 

Having a Pro Day where NBA scouts and the like watch a private team workout is common at big time programs; IU will have a Pro Day the morning of Hoosier Hysteria. All NBA teams will be invited to attend. A few initial takeaways:

1. Because it's Hoosier Hysteria Day, it is a great way to impress upon recruits that IU can maximize their NBA opportunities.
2. Mike Woodson is hooked into the NBA community like no other college coach (maybe Juwan Howard is the only other guy nationally that could compare).
3. Armond Hill had a 17 year career as an NBA Assistant until last year. He will also be able to generate NBA attendance.
4. If Woody is making this happen, I'm guessing it's because Woody is damn sure that he can get plenty of NBA representatives to attend.

• Woody: "C'mon Doc and Thibs, I know you don't wanna know about Michael Shipp, but you owe me one and cigars and bourbon are on me that weekend."
• Woody: "Guys, this is Andrae Patterson, the Assistant GM for the Trailblazers. He used to be really effective on this floor."
• Hulls: "Guys, this is Will Sheehey, the Assistant Video Coordinator for the Golden State Warriors. He used to be really effective on sorority row."

I’m guessing between TJD and Fino alone he won’t have too much convincing to do to get anyone to show up. They’ll be ready to get eyes on Fino especially after a summer in the program.

I would think that Jordan G and Malik might draw some traffic too. 

I wonder if player agents are allowed to attend? If so, almost the whole roster would be worth watching.

I would guess Tamar might get some good exposure too.  Hope he is ready to make a jump.

If Tamar Bates is good enough to get positive NBA exposure at a Pro Day, we're gonna be a really ******* good team this year.

Very interested to hear what the feedback is after the event.

This seems like an obvious recruiting event for CMW and staff.  What recruit doesn't want to be exposed to NBA people?  Coach has relationships and connections.  So, let's use them as much as possible.
