When I watched this, I had a strong feeling that IU was a better personality and family fit. Great find, Teeter.

Right - great cultural fit. Exactly the kind of hard working, ambitious player we need. Not to mention completely gifted and skilled.

Let’s gooo!!!

Love the thread title change. Perfect.

[Hoosier987 1,027]

This recruitment was fun!

When Mike Woodson says he wants to coach that young man, he's going to end up coaching that young man. 

In a few months, he'll be calling him "son"

I have no doubt the cultural fit + Woodson's NBA history/connections are what got this done. 

+ credit to the staff and boosters for answering when they were called upon.

Mgbako spoke with Carmelo Anthony, who played for Indiana coach Mike Woodson while with the New York Knicks. He said that Anthony told him, "[Woodson] is a genuine guy. But on the court, he will push you."

It was simple to read but they don’t seem open to reality

the Kansas staff leaks to that Mike Vernon nut job. He told those guys he committed on visit (see Ledlum) they just refused to believe or realize things can change. 

That’s some good sh*t dude. Props. Glad to see you get to stick around.

Anyone missing the Ledlum miss now?

Who?

[HoosierHoopster 6,023]

Yeah, this kid is an outstanding pickup— not just a great looking player (he is), but a great fit

kind of funny seeing all the doubt leading into this, just bc it was KU. The decision to forego another visit after IU was a big sign

Nope didn’t like it from the beginning. I liked Knecht better. Even happier to have MM!

Mike Woodson has coached a zillion NBA players during NBA games.

Bill Self has coached zero NBA games

Has to bode well for Kiyan Anthony in 2025, right? 

I mean, Dad's pulling casual recruiting favors for the program already >:)
