I hope this isn't behind a paywall because it's a great story on Mackenzie's recruitment.

I agree totally.

Side note. Did you an I have a beer in Tucson 8-9 yrs ago, at a bar on the highway that leads up to Mt. Lemon? Can't recall the name of the place, but it was called out as a hoosier hang out on (back then) Peegs web site. Maybe it was on Tanque Verda?

No, sir, it wasn't me. I haven't been to Tucson in over 20 years... where would I know you from? Possibly the CreamandCrimson email list?

Mackenzie's deal is kind of unique because the crazy thing is Mackenzie's mom reached out to coach Woodson with a text. And so that's initially how it got started. No, (our staff) didn't know him, but just obviously being from the New Jersey area, coach (Woodson) being a (New York) Knick guy, and just the people around. So she actually reached out to coach first and inquired about us recruiting her son, so that's initially how it kind of came about.

"And then within the people that coach (Woodson) knew and coach (Yasir Rosemond) knew, they started a process of getting more information and getting in-depth with his recruitment, and then it just kind of, day-by-day, week-by-week, it just started picking up traction. And so that's initially how it started.

No this was me making a wild guess. Years ago, when I first started going to Tucson, I looked for an IU game bar. I found one listed on what is now called "thehoosier.com". .... It wasn't really an IU bar, but I did meet this one guy that was a Hoosier and we had a nice convo and some beers. He had a very "vanilla" (sorry) (not super unique)screen name and I thought it might me you. It was a fun afternoon, a long time ago so I was hoping. 

Anyway, LFG Hoopsiers!

No. He coached in 1967 (the year they won the BTT) I was born in 1990. (-23)
