Recruiting is at least 50% of his job duties. Jimmy's and Joe's > X's and O's. I think the returns are diminishing each year he has coached, and that is extremely concerning. If he is fully dependent on the portal this year...and he is by a country mile....then he has to kill it. The lone recruit may not be ready to play significant minutes. He has to have players who can hit the ground running. IOW....they don' t need a coach as much as they need a facilitator. That may be his strong suit....remains to be seen. Either way....its a high risk strategy....not sustainable at the college level.
Had an in home visit with the kid from Bradley. Being as he's from Bloomington, I suppose an official isn't likely necessary.
Its really no different than last year. They are targeting mostly guards and guards do not want to play in his system. He will probably get a few simply because he has tons of money to give them. He also had more to sell last year as they had just made two straight tournies. After this last season and shooting like 350th in the country on three point attempts guards will pay attention to that kind of stuff.
If Woody was an insurance agent....he would be what is known as a "policy peddler". .....and they aren't what you want in an agent and they aren't long for the business. IU needs a coach. We rattle on about "culture"...and "coach" is a huge part of the culture. In fact....he's the shepherd.
Cupps
Galloway
Leal
Mgbako
Reneau
Tucker off the bench in case anyone gets tired. What's the problem? We've got this under control.
And get outscored 40 - 6 from the 3pt line. Rinse repeat
Tucker said that's why he's coming... NBA coach and other good coaches on staff can get him ready for the NBA.
I hope he's right. I'm cynical but was glad to hear that opinion of the staff.
and the admin is feeding the sheep ... feed your head!
He's coming because he was probably offered wayy too much to turn down. Sort of an optics glare that Woodson made sure to have everyone see.. To make up for McNeeley announcing other plans and to cover his behind a little bit. Mike knows he is sinking and sinking fast so he most likely threw a # at Tucker that couldnt be turned down.
Kind of like when Crean knew he was sinking and went out and landed Grant Gelon to try and prove he could still recruit the state.
Point is, if it werent for donors injection of NIL money, Tucker wouldnt be coming to B town.
that backcourt will kill any IU hopes once again. Leal will bring very few points. Better hope for really good point guard and backcourt shooters or IU is sunk again.Plus a huge big.
Carlyle from Stanford doing two days here mid April. Right now, he's the 3rd highest ranked player in the portal.
IU made the final six for Perkins. He seems likely, he fits the PG type Woody likes.
Why is there a final six I keep hearing we were the team to beat?
He’s about the same size as X, maybe slightly bigger. He should be an upgrade, though unfortunately just one year and out.
This is his last chance for a big bball payday — our offer will probably be pretty compelling.
Idk. We could be leading but he wants to go through his process. I don’t care much just guessing.
We seem to have a decent chance with 6'2" pg Myles Rice out of Washington St. Our players are following him, and Ya Rosemond has some past connection to him. Some guy from the ON3 site says Auburn and IU lead.....
Per every 40M avg 17.9, 3.7 rebs, 4.6 assists, 3.1 TOs, shooting 44% on 2s, 27.5 on 3s, 81% on FTs. Said to be a better 3 pt shooter than his % indicates.
I kind of quit paying attention to the whole who is following who thing after we lost out on fland and queen. They were all following each other also so I dont think that really means much.
I mean we are likely bound to get one or two of these guys we simply have so much money somebody will eventually bite for the coin.
Hope so on the 3pt shooting. Glanced at his game logs and in his last seven regular season games he was 0 for 22 from three. He made 1 of 3 threes in each of his two tourney games.
Interesting. 12ppg/2.7apg and not too efficient, though he was a freshman and he did have some monster games that could be signs of more upside.
Getting kind of worried that we can't land anyone with a blank check just shows you kids want to play for a great coach and offense.
He was a top 50 recruit out of high school.
Please NO! So overrated, If name was Bronny “Smith”, he wouldn’t have much attention
We will eventually get some who just want a big paycheck and will come but yes those looking for a great coach and offense are probably going elsewhere.
