Welp, McNeeley’s out

I guess Woodson didn’t have such a good reputation at Montverde!
Well if the rumors are true, and what little public evidence is out there leads me to believe they are true, then he has been overruled in letting Woodson go and coerced ( at best) into hiring Woodson.
It would appear that one person is forcing the issue in terms of Woodson. He has some power but I do not understand why it appears he has as much as it appears he does and it distresses me that he is not putting IU ahead of his friend. I have NO inside knowledge.
This almost has to be a sign there’s gonna be a mass exodus of players.
I actually think the opposite, at least of the top 5-6. Galloway and Mgbako still on the roster would be problematic for McNeeley IMO. I could be wrong, but I think McNeeley has had Bill Self in his ear for awhile now and sees the writing on the wall at Indiana. Hell, we don’t even know what the roster is going to look like in 3 weeks. For a kid that can go anywhere he wants, and probably wants to be a 1-and-done, he definitely wants to play in the tournament and have a shot at a title.
I know it's Self, but are coaches allowed to continue to recruit committed, signed players?
I’ll be honest I’m not sure there are any rules anymore. Who would enforce them?
You could be right. The team looks quite a lot more bought in, especially with and for each other, than I would have ever thought they’d be. Very possible there’s a core group that’s going to return. That could even be leading to Woody returning?
I just was thinking McNeeley, since he kept his commitment this long, was on board with joining…whatever IU is. So him decommitting is a sign he now knows something different?
At this point, I believe Bill Self can do anything he pleases. And do it with that trademark smirk on his face. Man, he’s damn good at it.
He is doing that. But he’s going to get it, AND play for a good team next year. Hard to blame him.
Also, assuming it’s Kansas, Furphy is a pretty good blue print for McNeeley getting to the NBA.
Yes, he wants 500k additional to play for this circus of a program. IU has until midnight to drop off the money.
How would Galloway (he comes back) affect McNeeley?
It isn't like they play the same position!
The rest of your post is spot on!
So Woodson offered 31 players in 2024 and got nobody. 0-31 11 offical visits.. Ya I'm sure he will turn it around..
How many $ spent on recruiting?
I'd bet on that too. There were some back channel things going on. I'm sure once his buddy Queen decided IU wasn't his place, LM probably was more open to other options. The timing makes me wonder if he was hoping to save face and reopen if Woodson was fired. Then it would have looked better on him. Once IU backed Woodson, he decided he has to decommit this way. If this was organic, the three game winning streak and the development of Mbacko would have mattered. My opinion...
Biggest recruiting budget in the conference and four open spots. Unreal.
i think it's more than woody that will have some explaining to do
Damn ..
I sat in the varsity club for football with my family.
Kinda thought I'd like that again.
I'm a believer in where football is trying to go..jmo
Lazy AF staff. They are getting their butt handed to them by other coaches in this state
i think its bigger than that and people will not be pleased, dismayed at the way it goes down
McNeeley is a definite 1 and done. He has one year to improve his draft stock, and where better to do it on a perennial top 5 team with huge TV exposure. It's Kansas. Just watch.
I saw Dolson last night at the state HS indoor track qualifiers meet in Gladstein...he appeared very happy, shaking hands with everyone and seemingly jovial. It may be true he was just out having a good time like the rest of us freak track parent/fans, but he honestly looked upbeat.
If we hit rock bottom will Dolson hire Tom Allen to coach basketball?
The question is why would he want to leave or maybe why his mother has stated that havent heard anything from Woodson for months.
