    Dusty May….

    I don't know if you're just having fun and putting folks on, or what. But as a fan for more than 45 years and a great admirer of Woody since watching him as a freshman, it pains me to say he might very well be the worst coach in the B1G. He's playing an NBA style, create your own shot kind of...

    Now next to last in country

    Uh, we are 6-1 and with what might be one of the best front courts in the B1G. We have 3 back court players out injured. Of course we need better outside shooting from deep to be really good, but as Knight used to say, you play with what you got. There were some really good signs against...

    IU whiffed on Ryan Langborg

    With Newton, Rayford and now X out, some on here seem to be asking Trey to be great all the time. That's an impossible ask. He's basically carrying the whole load for the backcourt since Cupps is raw and Leal has limitations and Gunn has quite a ways to go. Even without shooting from deep that...

    IU -2.5 vs Maryland. Load up!!!

    Can X keep up with Young with that bad foot? Sounds iffy.

    Step away from the ledge...

    I believe that great '81 IU team had some guys get in trouble (weed I think) during that tournament and were bounced from the team by BK. That team's collective maturity came later. That's besides the point though. I'm just pointing you can be really bad as team early in the season and then...

    Step away from the ledge...

    Check out the great '81 IU champs. As I recall, they absolutely sucked during the pre-B1G Great Alaska Shootout. After that, they took it to the highest level. There are too many examples to recite of teams turning it around after bad loses.

    Woodson getting exposed

    Everybody I follow with any sense on this site and another I'm on predicted we'd struggle pre-season and most likely get our asses handed to us by UConn and Kansas. No surprise at all given the integration of so many new faces and guys having no idea what it takes to defend at this level. It's...

    Maybe a lineup to play with vs Army

    And I really liked how he was enthusiastically supporting his teammates. Zero worries he'll be a big part of our positive play going forward once he learns the D,

    Early (VERY early) perceptions

    Sounds like lots of first game jitters. Lots of new faces to incorporate. X trying out his foot in a real-game situation. I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in this first game other than it gave the new guys a chance to get their first college-level experience. I'm glad they had the rough start...

    Boogie Fland - Here comes a big one!

    Have you ever read or heard any comments from Boogie and his parents regarding his recruitment and the schools they're interested in? They sound like very intelligent and thoughtful folks, to say the least. Does anyone truly believe they would get within a 1,000 miles of a pointless, potential...

    McNeeley is a Hoosier

    Just a terrific recruiting job by Woody. He's 25, not 65!

    Very cool to read this old article. Brings back a lot of memories. Cal was truly a great college player, playing at the perfect place in the perfect system to showcase his skills.

    2023 Recruiting Musings

    Woody appears to be playing the recruitment of Liam, Queen and Boogie as a make or break moment for the program's future. I think he's also showing the heavyweights like Self, Cal, etc that IU's back in the fight for top talent and that he won't back down from the challenge. IMO It's a great...

    Ware?

    Per the moderator on another site, not participating in the pro day last week was a precautionary thing. It doesn't sound serious.

    Cal was great, but Pat was hurt. Injuries wrecked his college career. We never got a chance to see how good he could become.

    That Melo/Woodson connection must be really, really tight.

    T-Minus: Day One of Practise

    I don't think you find minutes for everybody. You play great in practice, I would think you play in games.

    Boogie down to 3. Canceled Maryland visit

    I'm on the Inside The Hall forum. There's no such talk there.

    Boogie Fland

    It sounds like Boogie's father is a big Woodson fan. He's talked in detail (and positively) about how Woody would use him. Hope Woody, with the NY connection with Boogie's family, is using Carmelo A to help recruit him.

    Boogie down to 3. Canceled Maryland visit

    Maybe you were thinking about Queen? He's Baltimore-connected, I believe. Not sure Boogie was ever a lock for Maryland.
