Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 1,864]

Well last time we focused on 5 guys and got 1 impact player (Ware)....so maybe casting a wider net wouldn't be a bad thing.

Looks to me to be the shotgn approach. They are already mentioned with like 20 guys and it's only day two

I'm a little surprised no official news of portal entries has dropped yet.

My guess is there is a calculated effort for the timing of news being released to coincide with the tipoff of March Madness Thursday, so anything just goes largely unnoticed.

That, and of course things simply need time to shake out. 

IIRC, the school is required to enter a player's name in the transfer portal within a certain amount of time of that player requesting it. I think 48 hours. So I don't think that the school can really control when it happens other than delaying for the maximum amount of time allowed.

Well that was quick.

We are the arkansas of the transfer portal.  hopefully the big staff has some masterplan in mind.  It's going to take a minor miracle.

I almost forgot though Galloway is back. Remember last year we could not get any guards cause they were scared of him. I guess big men it is again.

Haha. Figuring out IF or HOW they fit together will be another train wreck.

Frankly, this whole approach Is just wrong. The fact that Woodson is here is wrong, and throwing $6M out the window to see who comes running is also just wrong. In fact, the whole thing sickens me.

But, yeah, Mike, you do you. What a self-absorbed pr!ck.

$6 million for 13 players equals an average of $461,500 per player.

If the three lowest paid players make $150,00 each, that leaves $5.5 million-ish for ten players. 

If the next lowest five players average $250k each, that leaves almost $1 million per year for our top five players.

That kind of cabbage will buy us a 'best of portal' team in a hurry.

The problem is that if there's a stud to be had other schools will pony up all that money on that one person.

We need shooters but the shooters don't want to play in Woody's archaic system.  They want to play for a guy like Oats.  It may not matter how much money we offer.

Plus, Galloway and Leal are coming back which will scare off good guards. If Cupps returns, we have no chance of landing a guard.

exactly, they want to be part of an offense that runs screens for them to get open and have shots.  Not wait until there this is nothing else and then jack up a last second 3.

So the #6 overall and #1 SG is already off the board (current portal dudes). Hot start here.

Exactly. You think they were scared of X and Galloway last year with those three coming back there isn't a guard in the country who will want to come and sit behind them.

I am a true fan of IU basketball. However, I am not a true fan of Mike Woodson.

Man, I really thought Banks would've been a beast this season. Guess that's why I'm not a scout!

But I was assured IU would get everyone we wanted immediately out of the portal because of $$.
