It is easy to forget that IU won the Big Ten under Lou Watson considering IU's next three seasons were disappointing at best. But Watson did recruit pretty well, including four Parade All Americans--Joby Wright, George McGinnis, Steve Downing, and Ed Daniels. Point guard Vernon Payne was first team All Big Ten when IU was conference co-champs. Plus, Watson brought in some other pretty good players like John Ritter and Joe Cooke. Watson was also a really good player for IU--four year starter and leading scorer, 1st team All Big Ten.

Easy to forget, I was -23 years old when he was coaching at IU! 

John Ritter was an actor. 

I hope my sarcasm can be felt through text.

Mackenzie is threatening to de-commit if you don't let him have his thread back.

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!

Imagine Kansas losing a recruit because his mom was like “hey maybe I’ll text Indiana?”
