Seems it’s still important to some coaches. Including guys like two-time defending champ Danny Hurley. Woody should be aspiring to be more like him, and less like Fran McCaffrey.
Woodson recruiting like Archie now....
- Thread starter Tru2Irish
- Start date
Then why did Hurley even bother with McNeeley and Mullins? Surely they’ll be of no use to him.
/And don’t call me Shirley.
Did I ever say Woodson should never recruit a high school kid again? I didn’t think so.
/And Dumbass is more fitting.
Since he can’t actually recruit one (except when he’s desperate and one falls in his lap), he seemingly has no choice.
Program’s gotta be attractive enough to get the cream of the crop from both HS and the portal. Indiana isn’t that program, and hasn’t been for over 30 years. That’s not all on Woody, but he’s not helping.
Tucker took 3 college visits: Kansas, Michigan State, and IU. While Tucker's plan to join the G-League undoubtedly caused all coaches to back off of Tucker, Woody's comment suggests he gave up on Tucker earlier on in the process, when Duke was still in the picture. But yes, when Tucker's dad called Woody, I imagine no college coaches were recruiting him.
When it comes to recruiting, other coaches should take notes. Woody has cracked the code. Sit back and wait for the parents of 5-star recruits (e.g., Mgbako/Tucker) to call him.

do you feel better each time you repeat this stuff?
some of you guys are relentless w the anti-Woodson stuff.
We get it. He's an average coach. He's NOT Bobby Knight! (heaven forbid!).
Guys, Knight hasn't been good at IU in 30 ****ing years. Get over it.
Yeah if only there were only, like, 8 teams each year who had a chance to win the title each year, no 3 pointer, no night games, no games on sunday, etc.
You know, when nOrthwestern was 1-15 each season, nobody was good but us and maybe Mich, PU.
you know, the 1970 and 80s. Last century.
lol
As a ‘73 IU graduate, those days seem like the day before yesterday, if not just last week or several months prior. I still occasionally wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, with the thought of Lou Watson pacing our sideline. I’m so old I used to go to IU basketball games shuffling my feet in the sawdust lining the perimeter of the court. I’m a bit surprised there aren’t more sufferers of WLD (Wooden Lung Disease) in these parts from all that dust we kicked up. “If you or any of your loved ones attended IU games before Assembly Hall’s construction…”
