Rosemond’s been the guy for a while folks. It’s just a matter of time until it’s announced.
If we go 13-7, it won’t be due to him.No one will question Rosemond’s character if we go 13-7 in the big ten next year, I promise.
If we go 13-7, it won’t be due to him.
It very well could be partially due to him.If we go 13-7, it won’t be due to him.
Concerns about this guy should exist whether we’re winning or not.What is your point? My point is, if winning, no one looks for reasons to be mad. However, if we lose, everyone is up for blame.
Would certainly be Woody’s choice, and I think people are rightly concerned with it.It very well could be partially due to him.
He is the Third Assistant. This is Woody’s & Thad’s choice
Don’t understand the concern! Clearly IU has done it’s due diligence. Yasir did nothing wrong before. He is a great communicator- he will be the bird dog in searching, finding & making initial contact with recruits. He has numerous AAU connectionsWould certainly be Woody’s choice, and I think people are rightly concerned with it.
RMK would bring guys in with a checkered past. I always trusted he would manage their behavior while representing IU.Would certainly be Woody’s choice, and I think people are rightly concerned with it.
Well, his name came up (and transcripts confirmed this) in regard to finding ways to recruit players based upon certain questionable tactics. Not only was this in the context of NCAA rules issues but also in regard to a criminal proceeding. There’s nothing to suggest he was the target of a criminal probe, but he was was quite obviously someone who had Relationships with those who were both participating in illegal activities as well as NCAA violations. It seems reasonable, therefore, to wonder why we would select someone who hangs out in that space. But perhaps you can provide detail in regard to IU’s diligence here, as you’ve intimated that you could. Thanks.Don’t understand the concern! Clearly IU has done it’s due diligence.

Neither of those coaches were in roles where they recruited, however. That’s a material distinction.RMK would bring guys in with a checkered past. I always trusted he would manage their behavior while representing IU.
I expect the same from Coach Woodson. That is why he makes the big bucks.
So what are you suggesting? That no one from either the Indiana compliance office or athletic department is aware of Rosemond's name surfacing a few years back and are hiring him (potentially) on a whim? It's not plausible that the the Indiana compliance office/athletic department DID do their diligence, concluded that Rosemond isn't facing any NCAA violations/has had his name cleared and therefore is a candidate worthy of being hired (potentially). What's more plausible here?Well, his name came up (and transcripts confirmed this) in regard to finding ways to recruit players based upon certain questionable tactics.

I’ve seen Jabari Smith mentioned several times but everything I read says he is signed with Auburn and I see nothing about him asking to be let out of that, let alone it being granted. Am I missing something?
Are you saying Rosemond broke NCAA rules? If so, could you link that finding? I’m unsure why someone would have to show you IU’s due diligence here.Are you saying IU wouldn’t do their homewor?Neither of those coaches were in roles where they recruited, however. That’s a material distinction.

You mean the same compliance office that claimed they were going to do all of those things with Kelvin Sampson and then failed to adequately monitor him on multiple occasions? That compliance office, which still includes some of the same people? I realize you’re not terribly familiar with the IU AD, but they don’t exactly have the greatest track record on things like this.So what are you suggesting?

That they found others who were more willing to go along doesn’t mean he wasn’t listening. Read the transcript. He didn’t exactly storm out and threaten to turn everyone into the regulator (the NCAA). He did, however, express his personal ambitions, which alluded to a willingness to engage in some practices that might be considered all that pure.Just think........if one reads the trial accounts, one might come to believe that he'd be in prison or on probation now if he'd been better at his job. According to the 'agent runners' he wasn't bribe-worthy.
How many sit on the pedestal of perfection with you?That they found others who were more willing to go along doesn’t mean he wasn’t listening. Read the transcript.

Different standards for some of us, apparently.
So what's you answer? IU is just hiring the guy on whim? They have no clue about his track record though multiple on an anonymous message board are aware of his past?You mean the same compliance office that claimed they were going to do all of those things with Kelvin Sampson and then failed to adequately monitor him on multiple occasions?

He was willing to go along. He offered to introduce his recruits to them.That they found others who were more willing to go along doesn’t mean he wasn’t listening. Read the transcript.

Interesting perspective, albeit unsurprising.How many sit on the pedestal of perfection with you?
I didn’t read the stuff about Bland, and also saw some stuff about Book that was pretty heavy handed on the part of the FBI. Strange deal for a few basketball coaches. Not saying Yasir is an awful guy, but some here obviously are rather parochial in their worldview.He was willing to go along. He offered to introduce his recruits to them.
They didn't offer him $ because he didn't then have a top prospect to deliver. He & two other guys couldn't deliver the goods. They weren't charged. The guys who had more pull with top prospects were charged and convicted. There's an interesting story on the internet about Tony Bland, former USC assistant. The FBI charged into his room with an arrest warrant and guns drawn, grabbed him, twisted his arm behind his back and shoved him up against the wall. Who are the good guys?
Anyway, our man Yasir is lucky he wasn't a better recruiter..........and now he's working for IU. Not bad work if you can get it.
Maybe the answer is to steer clear of a guy who wanted to be a player in the world of shady recruiting but didn’t get in the door, since he had nothing of value to deliver to the bad guys with whom he sought favor. As Mushroom said, lucky for him he wasn’t more adept at his job. Had he been, he’d have suffered a pretty undesirable fate. But I’m not surprised you’re unable to understand the nuances here, however.So what's you answer? IU is just hiring the guy on whim?

Teams always pay a price after the money has been made. I’ll take a penalty after 6. Many don’t feel that way around here. I think rules have been stretched and we either aren’t good at playing with new rules or we take a zealot like approach and end up as a 10 seed in the B1G tournament. 10 doesn’t work for me on any level. Better get good at something fast. Go Hoosiers!I could care less if we cheat a little bit if, it brings us a Championship. Just don’t get caught and even if you do, they probably won’t do anything anyways. If we don’t do it, someone else will. Baylor probably just did.
You mean as the third assistant? Why?I’ll find it very disappointing if they do not retain Mike Roberts.

Maybe they can consider me as a coach, I can do that. Lol.What's he gonna tell them.......how to recognize an FBI sting?
People will use this situation to fatten up their own narrative. There will be sunshine pumpers instantly claiming ethics beyond question and others desperate seeking a darker version all while disparaging the IU AD. Ignore the tripe.So what are you suggesting?

parking lot drug deals??People will use this situation to fatten up their own narrative. There will be sunshine pumpers instantly claiming ethics beyond question and others desperate seeking a darker version all while disparaging the IU AD. Ignore the tripe.
The fact is this coach was in the parking lot when the drug deals went down and he needs to be vetted by the perfectly capable Compliance team and more importantly by Woody and Thad. End of story for anyone with a shred of objectivity.
As if UK,Duke,Kansas, and UNC don't recruit questionably . I'm sure the discussions will be answered by Woodson and Matta. He must be okay with them. I'm not in that elite group to dictate what they should do.Well, his name came up (and transcripts confirmed this) in regard to finding ways to recruit players based upon certain questionable tactics.

yES NUNSister Jean is too old and has no experience. Hard pass!
1,902Ding. DM’s, Jimmy? Did you even know who Woody was before he was named coach?
Right, I mean, when has IU ever hired a Coach who'd run afoul of the NCAA and had it be a problem?Don’t understand the concern! Clearly IU has done it’s due diligence. Yasir did nothing wrong before. He is a great communicator- he will be the bird dog in searching, finding & making initial contact with recruits. He has numerous AAU connections
Rosemond has NOT run afoul of the NCAARight, I mean, when has IU ever hired a Coach who'd run afoul of the NCAA and had it be a problem?
He has not been hired either!Rosemond has NOT run afoul of the NCAA
Which is fine! He is able to talk to potential recruitsHe has not seen hired either!
Is he going to be hired like previously stated?Which is fine! He is able to talk to potential recruits
