You really think McNeeley, Haralson or Mullins were money hunting?
Anthony Leal is the Real Deal

Exactly. Everyone under achieves under woody. I mean K9 Rice and Tucker aren’t all shit. Neither is Mack and Tamar. We get great talent and have a 90 year old grandpa telling them to play 80s nba style.
No. I think Tucker was. Saw his opportunity and IU was willing to overpay to correct the recruiting failures.
This is true but both can be true. We overpaid for this roster. If the numbers are true.
Fair enough. I think being 10-minutes glue guy is exactly the role Leal was projected to play going into the season. Alas…
Oh I’m sure of it because again, dipshit is picking them. I am sure most were over ranked, but good coaches could do good with any of these guys. Just have to you know, coach them.
And I’d love that. Come in take a charge, get a steal pump up the crowd. If he is playing 34 mins a game that team is not a contender. Period.
And while I don’t disagree that Leal playing 34 minutes would never happen on a team that is a contender. It’s the best option we have at this point.
Please do. And I'll put one together with audio so you can hear him direct the defense. Basketball isn't all about offense. Defense is just as important but not as flashy.
My son played at South with Leal. He believes Leal is coaching the defense. Against MSU (I think) he noticed the zone used was one that Coach Coyle has modified for South to use. My son told me modification but I can't recall at this moment.
Bro it is a crime that Leal has to coach our defense because coach can’t. I’m not arguing, it’s just embarrassing that a final 4 caliber team is where we are in march.
No1 on earth will convince me Bruce pearl or Rick Pitino wouldn’t have this team as a top 15 team in the country. This is more talent then woody has ever had, he wasn’t lying about that preseason.
It’s called leadership.. Leal is been here what 5 years?
Then don't rag on him just because he's doing what our 10+ coaches should be doing. Don't rag on him because Mgbako, Carlyle, and Rice either can't play defense or won't. Appreciate what does bring each game because he's about the only one bringing it. He's not the problem.
Nah… Leal is the 2025 version of Brian Sloan. A player that players overlook but coaches know how important he is.
Actually just about anyone who knows much of anything about basketball knows how important Leals hustle plays are to a Team versus those who go way out of their way to pump ultra-phony Hype about extremely overpaid and extremely underperforming types...
It's the hottest team in the country. Don't be surprised if Woodson makes a deep tourney run and unretires
