Haralson

just read on BTB that some last minute Carl Cook money may have made things interesting.

Given that he reportedly cut off communications with all 3 programs at some point today, that sounds about like the old practice of sniping an auction on eBay -- when somebody would use an automated app to place a bid with less than one second remaining to ensure they had the highest (and, more importantly, final) bid before the auction ended.

I still think ND but who knows. Definitely the most exciting announcement I've followed in a while.
 
I'm not worried about Purdue and to be honest the guy finds diamonds out of coal.

Woodson can't recruit Mgbako, Reneau, Ware, Carlyle, Rice, Ballo, Tucker are all here because of NIL. He is lazy doesn't want to recruit kids 24/7 and has the Cooks writing checks for these kids. Do we really need to go down the list of kids Woodson has swung and missed on because of his lazy ass.

And you think kids that go to other schools aren't getting paid? Or, that other coaches are getting 100% of their targets? It's a #'s game. Every coach misses more than they land. I think there are legit questions about whether CMW works out, but getting talent hasn't been the problem.

Your undergarments are showing...
 
Woodson has struck out on..
Derik Queen, Liam Mcneeley, Boogie Fland, Flory Bidunga, Xavier Booker, Noah Clowney and now Jalen Haralson. Thats just the high profile guys the last few years.

What's your point, I mean, beyond whining? For instance: Bill Self, wait, BILL SELF struck out on most of that same list... oh yeah, and Mackenzie Mbako. Every coach misses more than they land.

Getting talent hasn’t been an issue for Woody, it’s can he build a team and coach a team.? That’s the biggest concern. We started 3 five star kids last year

Izzo is really striking out nowadays. He’s missed out on a lot of guys lately and Trey McKenney is likely headed to Michigan

Coaches recruit 30 to 70 players per year, generally only landing 3 to 4 on average. Major programs even less now due to portal. It's a high failure function. There's other teams that missed on the same players.

You're looking at his recruiting in a myopic bubble. IU doesn't have the clout that some programs have currently and may be reaching a little .. but he's made progress, slow as it's been.

This is his forth year look what Matta is already doing at Butler. Also remember we got Bates when Matta was here too. Woodson is a lazy recruiter it's been well documented..
