IU has become a transfer portal program. The grassroots basketball world knows CMW has a short shelf life and doesn't have time to recruit program type kids. He needs ready made talent (portal kids) or one and done type high schoolers. Both types require deep pockets and require a program to have to rebuild basically every year.
I've written this before, hire a young coach, understanding that you need to build through high school while sprinkling in transfers as needed, and be patient while developing an identity.

I'll give you another name, that would've/should've been very realistic... until UNC came calling: Cormac Ryan. Think he had 20 yesterday and 4/7 on 3s, but he's looked very solid this year. I remember when his name came up, the consensus on here was not athletic enough and only a spot up shooter. He's been good for UNC when I've watched.
They have to be willing to be here. Love has not been good. Max was never going anywhere but Texas. Cryer another Texas kid. Ashworth maybe but he’s not been a giant factor. Nembhard wasn’t going anywhere else but Gonzaga. Some(most) of those are a pipe dream in reality. Of all of them Knecht was the only realistic options.
Regardless, they are all solid contributors which is all we needed. Jones would have been great for us. Same with ashworth. Also
Love had 29 vs PU yesterday and averaging 16.5 5 and 4
Meatloaf said something similar in 1976: there ain't no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box...
“They have to be willing to be here…”. That’s recruiting. Convincing them to come to Indiana.
X was 100%. He hurt the other foot this time. I, too, wish IU had another guard.
bro he had 30 against PU yesterday. I mean you can’t tell me you wouldn’t want him chucking threes for us. We need that desperately. Who cares if they don’t always go in. We are already good at that. Just need more guard play.
He has made 20 threes and takin 60!!!! Are leader has 8. Not even one a freaking game. Pathetic.
We have our own Love in X. Career stars are comparable except X plays defense. But Love has stayed healthy, so there's that.
The NET is still, at this point in the season, icrazy. Indiana State still 15th and blown out by Bama in single game against a ranked opponent. They actually had a game against St Mary’s of the Woods. They have a game coming up against MSU that should rocket them down the list.
Isaiah Swope from. Newburgh is hitting some shots for them.

I’m sure you won’t like it but right now expectations of IU basketball are to make the tournament. Unranked with 3 five star players? A couple of the bigs look good but meshing with the guards is another story. It could happen. Galloway looked great. If he continues that path IU will be competitive.
I think you’re right but they can’t just walk away from Woodson. He might coach another 4-5 years. Either a 5 star or the absolute right fit portal wise is key.
The NET means less than nothing at this time of year. You could get a drunk crackhead who is only vaguely familiar with college basketball and get more accurate rankings right now.
3 years into a regime with near unlimited NIL resources, a staff whose supposedly loaded with recruiters, and a head coach who just got a million dollar raise.
We hope to make the tournament.
So Hunter Biden is a college basketball expert now? Art, law, energy, and now basketball. Eclectic SOB for sure.
To me its not about specifying where the failure lies, such as coaching the game vs. recruited talent vs. assistant coaching hires...etc. I'm all about the bottom line. Making a specific excuse for why CMW failed in a particlular game is the same as making excuses to justify why losses weren't that bad. So you're doing the same thing as those on the other side.
Back in the day a loss to any team at Assembly hall was a sad day. Never something we explained away. If you think no one should be critical of coach based on the outcome of the game, no matter the opponent.....you're just as foolish.
Shit not yesterday. If I’m going to pick on a game that isn’t one. Plenty of others though.
Get your pompoms out. Yay for a loss! Also, it's a culmination of outcomes. Even awful wins. To pretend this is the IU standard shows us enough about your logic.
I mean when Woodson took over we were a bottom 1/3 of the Big program. So yes success generally happens incrementally. We lost what 7? 8? Players from last years roster. I would say finishing in the upper 1/3 of the Big and making the tournament would be a success this year. Long term that won’t fly as the ceiling, but this year, yes.
It’s as simple as KU out executed IU down the stretch… too many TOs gave KU the opening… all in all I think it’s fair to conclude … the team progressed from the UConn loss and nearly brought home the bacon V. KU.
Want to worry about something… worry about whether the Spartans gel before IU plays them. Trey Had a solid outing yesterday.

Listen, I’m not ra ra after this loss but to say he got out coached is insane. That’s my point. Is comprehension a lost art?
Woody seems to want to recruit the 5-star players. Roster turnover is going to be a staple if you choose to go down that path.
Purdue has something to say about that. Woodson has beat them 3 times in a row.
But we didn’t just lose the 1 freshman. Reneau will likely be back for his Jr year. Maybe one of Ware or MM stays. Galloway, Cupps returning. You can still build a stable roster with 5 stars mixed in. Every year hopefully will not be a 4 starter, 2 rotational player turnover.
Smitty you have spouting nonsense for years so just keep entertaining. That is why I enjoy mostly reading and dropped premium because there have been very few quality posters for the last 10 years on the board. Just for reference you are the Mississippi Valley State of posters on the KenPom scale.

X shoots a higher % from 3. We just need him to shoot more than 3 a game. Love avg 6 attempts over his career. Hopefully X gets back and will take a few more. But his low release does inhibit that.
Dude, love is a scorer and would be great for IU. Don’t give me the X % shit. He has been u reliable for his entire time here
