When Indiana went to multi class basketball in the high schools, it seems to me that not only did the interest in high school basketball go down but so did the quality of the players in the state. Couple that with video game basketball, the growth of AAU basketball where defense never is taught and when all star teams are formed to play street ball, basketball has slipped in the state of Indiana and maybe in the entire country. Yet, IU fans insist on recruiting locally and couple that with an insistence that unless IU recruits the best players in the state, the coach has failed. Well, how has that worked out lately? Yes, Cody Zeller and Yogi Ferrell were nice players but since then our Mr. Basketballs have been busts or underachievers. We as loyal Hoosier followers have got to encourage our coaches to seek out the best players regardless of where they are from and should not criticize them or second guess them if they don't agree when we say that the Hoosier kids are the best. Having said that, I congratulate Woodson for getting the Florida kid for next year and the Centerville kid for the year after. I view them as good recruits who might be great and hope that Hoosier fans will welcome them with open arms.
