Welp, McNeeley’s out

[twenty02]

Smart move. No way I would want to walk into what is a sure fire shit show next season in Bloomington... and literally nobody else joining.

Woodson needs to be dismissed immediately following the end of the season. I fully expect a serious exodus of current players.

Dolson needs to follow him (you shouldn't get a redo on your failure) and Buckner needs either removed from the BOT or at least walled off from any decision making.

Likely none of these things will happen, because.... It's Indiana

 

[PanDatrick]

Indiana is a joke. Any of you who donate money to the athletic program or pay to attend games next year should probably light your money on fire instead.

 

[Seyton]

Kansas bound. Bet.

Trilly already nailed it.

 

[YOTHN]

Queen is staying with Maryland.

You're right

Queen to Bring Big Time friend with him to MD

 

[Kelly_32]

 

[edub72]

McNeeley and Bidunga

 

[aajohn2000]

Kansas, Texas and us. Trilly saying Kansas. I’d bet Kansas too. They have the spot.

If Trilly has said Kansas, book it to Kansas.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

This has been one strange Fn week.

So our vaulted 2024 class is now down to zero ?

 

[Seyton]

Mike Woodson is a clown, and Buckner is Costanza.

 

[ndhuntington]

The last few days have been a reason why this administration is fu#ing clueless. It's almost like there is a internal fight between Dolson and Buckner first the contract leak then Woodson will be back now McNeeley leaving hard to root for this program with these idiots running the program.

 

[BayernFan]

Why? IU has been playing so well, winning 3 in a row. Weird.

Yeah the timing …easy to connect dots

Serious question?

I will assume it is.
Maybe because this year has been an epic disaster/
Maybe, as someone said, he has talked to MM, MR and KW and realize that none of them will be at IU next year.
Maybe when he committed he still thought MW was a good coach!

I think the kid liked Indiana the school a lot but needed to see where the coaching thing went and he saw all he needed to see.

 

[cshartle123]

Looks like Mgbako and Galloway decided to come back

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Has a guy ever backed out and then committed again to the school he left.

I cannot believe that it has not

JBJ?

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

So our 2024 recruiting ranking took a hit.

1-1= 0 ??

 

[Radio Zero]

So where does this leave the “Woodson will gracefully retire at season’s end now that the admin gave him cover by leaking his return” theory?

 

[4IUSox2]

The issue isn't that Woodson and his AAU runners Ya, Hunter and Walsh didn't put together any semblance of a roster this year or that they couldn't evaluate their current players to save their life, it's the basketball we play and the coaching we don't do.

Those 3 guys have proven they pretty much suck at what is supposed to be their strength…RECRUITING!!! Lord knows they aren’t there for their X and O abilities, or developing the guys they do have.

 

[Martin Groundhog1984]

McNeeley and Bidunga

And McTaco

 

[ndhuntington]

Looks like Mgbako and Galloway decided to come back

Where did you see that? I have heard more the a 50 percent chance both are not coming back.

 

[benhyoung14]

This whole season has reeked of locker room problems and now AD problems. I just don't see how Woodson stays if there is a mass exodus.

 

[Al Bino]

Looks like Mgbako and Galloway decided to come back

And how did you come to that conclusion?
And WTH would Galloway coming back have ANYTHING to do with his opting out?
More likely, he has been talking to the players and realizes many of them are GONE.

Chortle is a world class idiot.

AD problems?
Because he wanted to pull the plug and was overruled?

 

[IUHoopster]

Can we reopen our recruiting for a new head coach?

Apparently, the de facto plan is to replace the fan base first.

 

[Hank Reardon]

So where does this leave the “Woodson will gracefully retire at season’s end now that the admin gave him cover by leaking his return” theory?

Was that actually a theory? lol. People really are desperate.

 

[bsmitty08]

How can you have zero recruits? This is comical

 

[kkott]

Woody’s got some me explaining to do on this one.

Not at all. Dolson does.

 

[GThomas]

Hard not to view this announcement and yesterday’s announcement as connected…

No doubt about it. None.

 

[GThomas]

The buck stops with Dolson. Comes with the job.

 

[Al Bino]

Not at all. Dolson does.

Huh?

 

[Al Bino]

The buck stops with Dolson. Comes with the job.

Isn't that the REAL problem?
It appears that the buck doesn't stop with Dolson because of the interference and meddling from above.
Don't know Dolson but from his actions so far, I think he would WELCOME the buck stopping with him.

Liam McNeeley requests release from National Letter of Intent with Indiana

Class of 2024 Montverde Academy (Fla.) wing Liam McNeeley has requested to be released from his National Letter of Intent with Indiana.

If he doesn't have the power to do his job, then this administration is more f***ed up than I thought.

 

[PhyloeBedoe]

It might be an attempt to renegotiate his NIL deal. In that case, iu can still be in this one.

 

[Lucy01]

I guess Woodson didn’t have such a good reputation at Montverde!

 

[Al Bino]

If he doesn't have the power to do his job, then this administration is more f***ed up than I thought.

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.
