The Derik Queen comments are interesting. Sort of felt like they had begun to move on from him a bit. Apparently not.

I kinda got that feeling when the national guys said he was all but a given to Maryland and then ... nothing happened.

If we've got a featured role for him I'd expect we'll be sweating the announcement day.

Once the assistant coach left (all 3 left for head coaching coaching jobs so I’m not sure which one) things opened back up a little

Came across this a minute ago. Read similar on here but seems the smoke is increasing.

I'll definitely catch a couple of his games this year and will be sure to report back! 

Personally would be a little surprised if we snag him from Rutgers... but not very surprised.

Here’s a hot piece of information on the Mgbako commitment:

Kenya Hunter on the Hoosier Hysterics today on the initiation of the recruitment: IU found out he was interested in IU when Woody, unsolicited, received a text from Mackenzie Mgbako’s mom requesting that IU and Woody get involved.

Wow. I think that seals the deal...

Coach Mike Woodson is THE Closer

That blows up the talk that it he was a UL lock at first and then a Kansas lock before IU came out of nowhere to steal the commitment. 

I wonder if they got the number from Harper.

Nah. That’s the old days.

Mackenzie is a CAA kid. We are a CAA staff.

I don't think this guy over on Rivals agree with you LOL!

Woodson is a ok recruiter Payne is a elite. 

4th in the big ten is not elite. He missed on alot of 2023 and 2022 kids.

So that must be the shenanigans Vernon was talking about. MM's mom slid into CMW's DMs and propositioned him about her son.

Nice. it's recruiting itself already. 

[hoosiersoxfan]

Woodson has been here two years and already brought in five players that were considered 5 star recruits from one recruiting ranking or another (MM, JHS, Reneau, Ware, and Banks).  Also he quickly convinced TJD to return when Trayce already had one foot out the door.  Clearly Woody resonates with these top young players and their families that they want to play for him.  I think 2024 and 2025 are going to see some monster classes for IU.

He's brought in 3 of the 8 (?) highest rated IUBB recruits since the rankings started. It really is hilarious to look back at the "Can Woody recruit?" takes from media people pissed at us for firing Archie.

Parrish is still throwing IU  fans under the bus because they called him out on the article.     I usually like listening to his and Norlanders podcast but yesterday was a tough listen because of his shots at IU.    I still listened but almost comical he kept the bit going for as long as he did

I saw that. Lost a ton of respect for him there and not just because of my bias. He was acting like a child. Norlander looked almost mad about him throwing that entire segment too.
