Mike Woodson and his well placed friends and supporters have proven, definitely..., that you can't just buy a group of individual players and expect them to intuitively play as a TEAM...

It should be obvious to the movers and shakers and decision $makers$..., now..., that without great Coaching and great TEAM Leadership you aren't going to even have a good Team, much less a Great Team...

It begins and ends with good coaching... After that the staff can ID some leaders out there and Then, after they do that..., go out and buy some players who have heart, high basketball IQ and skill...

What we're looking at these days, with this 24-25 group is a template of "How Not To Do It."

What’s the over/under on the number of new guys on next year’s team? 9? 10?

Nobody has any way to predict that right now.

Leal
Galloway
Ballo
Hatton

seemingly out of eligibility.

Goode
Carlyle
Mgbako
Reneau
Rice
Tucker
Newton
Cups

all have eligibility remaining. Who knows how many will be back, including the coaching staff.

The sad thing is I suspect if some come back it won't be love for IU but love for the money.
 
I would hope the new coach communicates in no uncertain terms that "your money is between you and your sponsors; your presence on the team and your playing time is between you and me"

Goode is done after this year isn’t he? 4th year. Started after Covid.

Not sure I'd want any of them back unless they played for less. Iu is paying them way more than any other school would and the results stink.

I figure Cupps, Rice, and Tucker might stick around... If we keep our two recruits, we'll probably bring in another 8...

If the Vandy Coach is the new HC then he probably brings 3 or 4 with him. so that would mean only 4 or 5 would be needed from the Portal... That would be a Good position to be in...

So..., my guess is 8 or 9, plus a new Staff...

Make INDIANA Basketball Great Again... !!!
