It's called living in reality. In there was any positives going forward we would be thrilled. But there are none with woodson.

I don't disagree.

But if you're going to post frequently, always saying the same things, and poking fun at others who are just finding the slightest sliver of anything but doom and gloom... it's not really adding much to the conversation. You could just say your piece and move on. Most people around here anyway will likely agree with you, lately when it comes to IUBB, I certainly do.

It's not "sunshine pumping" to think/hope that .... not everything is always going to be terrible all the time. Unclench brother.

Somebody posted that mm and lm were going to be the best outside combo in the country. We were getting back to the summer narratives where every iu player is a flat out stud. But soon some will say we are actually better off without Liam. Give it a few days and you will start reading that.

Few days?

I can't believe we have a coach who won't answer media questions and doesn't even wanna go out and recruit.  He doesn't even wanna do the job.  This is BS

I'm surprised nobody has even asked a very simple, safely worded softball question. 

I am surprised, to an extent, that Scott Dolson appears happy to hide away and be invisible. Personally I give him until about 6pm ET today until he speaks up in some form or another... otherwise appears to me his tenure is dead in the water, likely resigning in a few months 

Imo Dolson is waiting to see what happens in these next two games.  Two losses and some portal entries may move him to act.

Me and @Scotty R firing off emails to Whitten, Buckner, Dolson, and every other email address we see on the IU Athletic Directory site:

Sooooo...Woodson doesn't have to answer to anybody regarding recruiting?

I am sure that he didn't say that to Buckner or Dolson.

What in the world do you think he told these guys about his optimistic plan?

(OR)

Did a conversation even happen between Buckner and Woodson?  Did he squash it and not even bother?

Woody could not try to do a much worse job managing the optics of this all in the press. 

Makes me actually wonder how much he really does understand/is aware of everything ... or if he just knows he's teflon.

I hope that Dolson is going to current players and getting a feel of what’s going on. I’m sure he has heard the rumors of a mass exodus from our current roster. Can we still fire Mike Woodson after stating he will be back? If rumors are true and McNeely isn’t coming, then why not move from Woody now before next year is even worse? Just an my opinion, it seems awfully strange that Liam decomitts the day after Mike Woodson is retained. It almost seems like he was waiting around to see if we hired a new coach before announcing he was leaving us.

Man, this is probably the lowest of lows I have felt about IU basketball, something I have loved and followed since the 70’s.  I just don’t know anymore.  I don’t think IU will ever return to what it once was.  

I knew with these guys it could get lower.  I’m so stupid.  

[Sardinefarts1991]

I've said this twice after crean.  But...man, we really can't screw up this next hire...

[TheWatShot]

Some of the stuff we're reading about Woodson's ignorance is just...stunning. Like it's just kind of surreal how a guy can be employed to coach a major sport at a D-1 university while being so clueless.

UCONN fired Kevin Ollie just a couple years removed from a national title.  But they have expectations up there.

UConn is the new IU.

What hire? We're stuck with Woody unless a miracle happens.

We couldn’t get players like Chris Ledlum last year. It’s going to be bad. And while I think there will still be a lot in the portal, the overall pool should be lower with the Covid year gone. 

We wanted a guy like Chris Ledlum last year. That doesn't bode well for the type of player he's looking for.

The inevitable hire that will be happening in 12 months, literally waiting for no reason.  I'm furious

If this proves to be true and a really good  young coach is looking at 1 of the worst jobs in the country, wow.

Walsh is easily the smartest guy on the staff.  He knows how this will end and he'd be extremely smart to bounce.

I get bouncing, but not that job.
