What a dagger from Matt Painter

Exponent Sports Desk @Exponent_Sports

Matt Painter says it’s hard to balance recruiting during the season, but if you don’t, “you’re not gonna like” your program’s future He also said it’s important for him to continue traveling to see recruits play in person.

Braylon Mullins' dad has since re-posted Painter's tweet.

Not surprising.  If you remember back when Crean was coach, Dakich did nothing but rip him up until everybody wanted him gone and he was fired, and then he said he shouldn't have been fired.  In his business, the contrarian position is the most profitable.

how would we know??? (joking) because Woodson didn't know this morning 

Woody is horrible at spinning.  He said “I don’t know, I haven’t sat down with him yet” when the answer SHOULD have been “I am getting to be talking to him and hope he is coming back because he is the kind of leader we need.”

How different could things be if Coach Knight just offered his son's good friend.  Just damn.

Ya it’s funny earlier in the year Dakich was always clowning the whole program and specifically pointing out Woodsons issues as a coach and his staffs mistakes. I will forever take the opportunity to dog Dakich. He’s the kind of guy that gets beat up at a bar because he still thinks he has it because “I was a D1 athlete”. I have such a hatred for that guy….

FUMBLE!

Liam de-committing the day after it's announced Woodson is coming back ... is loud

Scott Dolson's name being absent from the Indy Star story ... is loud 

....

Let the recruits and rival coaches pile on. Compile the evidence. 

....

Equip "Ya Boy AD Scotty D" with the ammo he needs for "super Tuesday" 

[JSHoosier 19,722]

Some posters are concerned about the perception of firing Woodson after 3 years. Allegedly he didn't talk to McNeeley after McNeeley signed, and he recently no showed recruiting until he was told; recruits talk too.

Not talking to your only commit and not showing up on the recruiting trail is a bad look. I'd argue it's a worse look than "IU is a bunch of meanies that fired the guy who could be bothered to do an essential part of his job".

4D chess:  with no 24 or 25 recruits Woody doesn’t have to worry them decommiting.

Probably talking to anybody who will listen about all the cap space they are freeing up
