Mack would fit more of what we need, but personally I'd opt for Perkins if we had to choose. Proven production in the B10... would love both though. So many roster holes, can't wait to start fillin em! #TrueFanClub

I think we should end all posts with #Truefanclub

Mmm, I can't wait.

 

I would ask my dad what’s for lunch back in the day. He would say if I’m making it you will get a sh!t sandwich. Needless to say I made lunch a lot.

Get both and either play Galloway as a 3rd guard or super sub off the bench? Huge proponent of multiple ball handlers on the floor at all times.

Sounds like we’re getting Tucker, and we’re in good position $ for either Perkins or Mack.

Please not Perkins…

Tucker fits the profile of one of Woodson's spring 5 star commitments. Looks likely, that's good. 

We just have to fill so many roster spots, I can't get excited about "our haul" yet, especially if Tucker and Perkins end up being the big gets.

I am not getting excited about anything until they are on the court winning.  We do this dance every offseason where we get a team that looks OK or even good on paper and then just...meh.  

I am holding all excitement until after the Bahamas trip.  That is where they can change my mind.  Until then, I expect Woody-ball no matter who he has on the team.  We had the best roster (by HS rankings) in the Big Ten last year.  Woodson can get talent, he just underperforms with it.

I don’t understand this take at all. A two-way guard who can score with major experience in this conference. Again, these guys don’t grow on trees.

Musical chairs in transfer portal numbers and players going pro after a year or two….every year….seems to make it hard to get to know players and teams or have connection to any program….when there are limited numbers of 3 and especially 4 year players on any given team.

Yeah, was speaking somewhat tongue in cheek. If I'm going to get excited about anything, it probably won't be until January if they're playing well.

He can’t shoot and isn’t a playmaker. Again, our perimeter defense problems were cause by MM and MR, not our guards. 
 

Mack is easily the best choice, it’s not even close.

I heard from a guy on Twitter that we should expect to win the whole Bahamas tournament. Have you heard that?

The guards got cooked many times.

Yeah he said that earlier. It was in IUcrazy post.

Mack is a slightly better shooter in a lower conference (which doesn’t always translate) and is 6 foot. How is Perkins not a playmaker? 15 ppg in the B10 with a 2.5:1 A/TO ratio isn’t a playmaker? I get it, he’s not a knockdown 3 point shooter, but neither is Mack. IU needs multiple guards and not just guards who can shoot, but guards who can score.

He is not going anywhere this year so we should be pulling for him to have the best team possible to have a successful year. I don’t care who the coach is, I want them to be successful so the program is successful. If he fails then Dolson will take care of it next year. 

The problem is with what the IU administration considers to be ‘failing’. Does another season like his first constitute a failure? I don’t think it will to them. 1 tournament win in 2 seasons got him a million dollar raise. We basically have to hope for a total train wreck if we want him gone. Anything better than an absolute disaster will keep us in basketball purgatory.

So is it safe to say we get Tucker, Mack or Perkins, and then the rest may still be playing in tournaments?

Yep that’s what I’m afraid of. Just getting into the tournament and losing the first game, Woodson would be like “I got us to the tournament”, and people in his corner would think he did well if he thought he did well himself.

Agree. We had Liam signed, and still a no-show. Even an NLI means nothing at this point.

He put up the same assist numbers in conference as Galloway. And let’s not forget he was in Iowa’s high tempo offense with some shooters. Mack did his work with much less talent around him.

Mack also has 3 years left…. Perkins is done after next year. Again, to me, it’s not close….

Sure, take them both. But if you have to choose… Mack
