Not doubting you, but where did you see that about his mom? Got a link?
I stand corrected, thanks. Probably the only period of time in Coach Knight's career that recruiting turned south.don't think he ever played a minute for IU.

There's an old saying, recently updated..."All is fair in love, war and college recruiting."
that was the turning point for sure. The last half of the 90s was not a lot of fun. Was obvious that things had changed in Bloomington. And we've not been 'right' ever since.
I think he played in a recruits game in Assembly Hall in Spring of '93 with Wilkerson, Hart, etc... Nick Nolte was there as part of his studying his Blue Chips role. But Monty decided to go elsewhere over the summer or maybe play in Europe.
Neither the '93 or '94 classes panned out, which really sunk the program for the late 90s. In '93 we brought in Wilkerson, Hart, Mandeville, and Eggers-2 got kicked out and 2 produced very little over 4 years. We all thought "we're back" with Patterson, Miller, Reed, Rob Hodgeson, and Michael Hermon in '94. Patterson and Miller each had a few decent moments, but were largely disappointing based on their rankings, Hodgeson transferred to Rutgers w/o every playing a minute at IU, and the other two-we all know their stories.
Many things have changed in Bloomington. A cultural change of darkness has been allowed to permeate our ranks. Maybe its upcoming solar eclipse will signal the dawning of a new era, an awakening or sorts.
all true. I tried to dismiss Reid's departure and also Collier...but Recker was the wake up call for me. Kids like that.....they never left the IU program in the past. Then we learn that he tried to leave after his frosh year but RMK convinced him to stay. He was just counting the days as his soph season ended. When he left, I had to admit that the program has slid off the road.
nah, I'm banking on the change mechanism to be the absolute hell we fans will have to endure next year.
water is wet. KU was his number two....so with IU taken out....they move to No 1.
yeah I have vague memory of that. He had heavy knee braces on (at least that's what my fading brain recalls) like his knees were already well on their way to being shot.
I think this is correct. If it happens, I think it tells everyone (except IU admin and BOT) that playing for Woodson is unpleasant and the team is no good..
if that plays out, only a band of high-paid rental mercenaries would keep next year from being perhaps the worst time in this program since Sampson's departure.
I think Dolson was ready to move but he didn’t have the rest onboard. Supposedly a transaction of some sort from certain big donors happened to keep woody for whatever reason. People are hinting at it. The administration etc…is just to far gone I guess.
yep, so they can either fix this shit over the summer, or go down with the ship together next winter. That hump just got a lot higher.
That hump looks more and more like an iceberg.
It’s time to purge the demons of disaster, a time to sow the seeds of a new reality, more wonderful than ever experienced. It starts with hiring a coach of reputable college resume (pronounced REZ-oo-may). IU has no use for former stars today found living on Easy St. College coaching takes vigorous pursuit of excellence 24/7. No time for humidor-stored cigars!
We’ll never know if it’s true, but it does seem possible, and that’s bad enough. We should all be saying “no way our coach wasn’t busting his ass and was committed to McNeely”.
Can’t we say he can’t go to another big ten team? I would for sure, screw that. I remember schools use to do that when people wanted out of a LOI.
Coyle had Kravitz on...not a big fan of either but Kravitz did ask a good question...what the hell good is a LOI at this point?
i'm afraid to even peek at btb today....has to be like Hiroshima 3 seconds after Little Boy over there.
I am hearing a predominant reason LM bounced is that woody stopped recruiting him the day he committed. Has not been to see him play once since.
I would block everything. No uk no big ten, anyone we play. Hell no army
With BTB exploding, IU fans overwhelming Trilly’s discord, and Peegsters supposedly pissed at the Hysterics idiots blaming the fans, I have to admit it’s all pretty funny.
Here recently, Woody wouldn't have had time to watch him play...he was too busy checking out kids in the Indiana sectionals....Oh, wait....never mind.
ok so I peeked in..and saw an interesting and possibly plausible theory.
