No wins with long-term HIGH profile (5-star) recruitments. And yet, arguably, we have a top-5 roster in the nation this year. The ends justify the means.
Anyone actually think we'll get Mullins?

No wins with long-term HIGH profile (5-star) recruitments. And yet, arguably, we have a top-5 roster in the nation this year. The ends justify the means.
I tend to lean this way. We’ve become a ‘go into the portal and buy what you need’ program.
IU=NIL. Look at our roster
What winning program is not that way in today's world?
A lot…actually build and develop a roster.
Iowa st, pu, Creighton, Gonzaga,…are some pretty good programs that didn’t buy rosters
Gonzaga just put out an NIL announcement about a new exchange. Iowa St has a non profit collective like we do. They all see the writing the wall.
They all have some sort of NIL collective but I’m talking about how they recruit and build a roster
Gonzaga goes out of the US for kids and has for a long time. They use the portal. What are you talking about?
Lol. Creighton had transfers Schierman, Ashworth, and Farabello.. ISU had Gilbert and Jones. Gonzaga had Ike and Nembhard. PU still picked up Jones.
I guess ISU with their lone F4 appearance in '44 and half dozen conf champioships (4 during the depression and WW2) should be what we aspire to be. They're doing it the right way!
Creighton LOL
Don't forget PU. They had to use the portal with Jones just to lose by 15 to UCONN with 3 transfers of Newton, Spencer, and Diarra.
Every team has some transfers, I’m talking about going out and signing checks. Let’s see if the free agency model works for Woody.
I figured you'd move the goal post. So, for the upcoming season, ISU has 4 new transfers to go along with the 2 from last year. Creighton has 2 new transfers to go along with 2 from last year. Gonzaga has 4 new transfers to go with their returning 2. And PU has zero, obviously, as nobody wants to play there.
IU is no different. You just don't like it and want to blame Woody for doing what everyone else is doing. He needs to win with this team, for sure. But he's not the only one playing the game.
Really? They recruited Ike and Nembhard last year? And Battle, Ajayi, Smith, and Innocenti for the upcoming season? If it's even possible, you come across dumber with each post.
That’s a great take from one game. Basically a useless scouting report. I will take the reports from those that have seen him multiple times and moved him up the rankings ranking’s quickly.
You may be the dumbest poster on here. If not you are trying like hell. Good lord Bshitty be better.

That is really the bottom line. Gone are the days when we saw four or five seniors who had been with the program four or five yrs. Now it is just about getting bodies and hopefully they can gel together for five to six months. I admit it. I don't like it, so call me a curmudgeon. But I still love IU.
Maybe, Maybe not. You think he wasn't trying to make shots? On the other hand, Darryn Peterson took it very seriously and scored like 43 and his team, who had just been beaten by IE in a prior tournament, cared and played hard. I pointed out the "why" of why IE might not have played hard, so I think a first hand account of such a game is worthwhile. Let's say IE didn't take it very seriously. When your opponents are and are getting up into you and playing physically and basically challenging you, wouldn't that light your fuse? I'm not 100% certain of what it means, but I think it's worthwhile and of interest.
