What's the story with him? Is he just wanting to get closer to home? Because I'm really surprised he hit the portal.

Sounds like there’s no faith in the coaches to get him to the next level

Oh ok, gotcha. I didn't even think about that aspect of it. I just saw that he's from St. Louis and he's considering Mizzu and IU.  It's good to know players are thinking of IU that way.  Is he a next level guy?

It's really a no lose situation if we get Love. If Coach Woodson could make him play defense (one of the best if he's focused)more consistently and helps his offensive game a bit every guard will want to give IU a good look.

1. He helped JHS become a lottery pick and you saw a top 20 player developed correctly.

2.If X and Love further their game (I don't count Woodson's first season) it also shows that he can fix bad habits and utilize strengths.

I wouldn't call it a no lose situation.  It could blow up spectacularly and Woodson end up looking like an idiot; I would consider that a loss.

It's high risk/high reward.

Everyone talks. If Love tanks no one will look down on Coach Woodson.

Absolutely, having a devisive and/or selfish player can destroy a team. Is the Love? I think so but obviously Woody & the gang think otherwise. 

With strong leaders in the locker room it's a risk you can take, players that step up and hold them in line.  Do we have that? I'm not sure.

Let me clarify. Yes our season would stink but it wouldn't hurt us from a recruiting standpoint.  I wish we could get that kid from Towson. Sorry can't recall need more coffee today.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

I'd still take him lol

[Home Jersey]

Michigan fans spamming the replies saying admissions wouldn't let him in

Edit: Feels to me like a sign next year may be Howard's last

Love Mike Schumann's comment.

 

[Home Jersey]

Could very well be wrong, but I'd be kinda surprised if anything materializes here. 

Things seemed to cool off really quickly after that Zoom with the staff, don't know if interests were aligned. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Didn't one of their top recruits just have to decommit as well because of admissions?
