JHS, Reneau, Banks, Gunn - I’d say that is good recruiting!
Staff Question(-s)
- Thread starter mk30
- Start date
Yeah, I'm not as worried about recruiting, as he's gotten good guys, at least from rankings, and while next years class is thin, I like both guys we got and the guys we've missed on for the most part weren't high percentage options anyway, vs guys in our recruiting base. The closer the prospect is to IN the better our chances, is how I feel and what I'm referencing. He's pulled in a high level player in the spring each of his first two years and if he were to do that this year, or get a strong portal player or 2, that changes the outlook for this next class greatly and you can bet, they're going to be aggressive in the spring.
I expect 3-5 additions in the spring between portal and hs recruits
Speaking from experience, sometimes it’s better to hire people who have the right attitude and talent, but don’t have experience or set ways and habits that you have to break.
This team is dramatically better than the team we had a year ago, minus Dane Fife and minus Thad Matta (who has major problems at Butler).

Yes, the Gophers brought it on their home court which has a reputation to be a hard place to shoot. IU didn’t wilt when the going got tough. How about we give Rosemond and the team some credit for that?
I assume he is more stubborn than insecure. He’s old and is going to do it his way, the short time he is the coach.
Might be right. I’m the same age. We’re old And stubborn. Don’t blame him for doing things his way.
Ok, crazy questions: who’s Texas’s coach now? Just watched the end of Texas v Baylor. Still have no idea who took over for Beard. But the better question is: who would take over at IU if something completely unfortunate, unforeseen, weird as hell happened?

Certainly we’re thing that raised eyebrows and people rightfully questioned performance. But a win is a win and I will take them all regardless of how we get there.
RTT is as thin-skinned as they come, but you know there's an ignore button, right? I think it would make your posting more enjoyable. He does post some good links though, so you'd be missing out on that, but if you can't bring yourself to ignore his posts, try the button.
Let's not exclude Newton and Cupps either! Not a star-studded class, but I think both could be very solid and if CMW pulls in a spring signing or 2, could still be a solid class overall. Who would've thought PU's freshmen class this year would help propel them to #1 and top of the B10. I'm excited about both those guys.
A lot is going to depend on who comes back, obviously.
I could easily see Cupps starting at PG from day 1 though.
And I think this offseason Woody might have to be more active in the transfer portal world.
Well, assuming JHS and XJ (does he have a 5th year?) are gone, he'd almost be the leading candidate in my mind, which is a big ask for a freshman. You'd think a starting spot at IU with the NIL opps would be very appealing to portal transfers but we've not had much luck so far there. Wonder what Kopps NIL deals look like, especially compared to a starter at NW. Cav, any thoughts there?
Feeling coached at Lawrenceville HS in IL. At that time we had an antennae for TV,& most of our TV stations were in IL so watched a lot of Illinois high school state tournaments. Last 2 years Felling coahed at Lawrenceville his team was undefeated & won the state title. IIRC, Illinois was a 2 class system in basketball & they were Class A. IF memory serves me correct Fellings teams won the state title 4x in 11 yrs. Guy could coach.
When Felling came to IU he followed one his players. Thinking it was Marty Simmons but may be wrong on that.
