Woodson should be on the hot seat next year.
- Thread starter kurt cloverdales
- Start date
Are you high? Honestly, none of those are surprising given the circumstances. Bates is probably the only one that should've been an IU player in nhe first place. He needs to get closer to his kid. Understandable. IMO, Woody did outstanding after losing a PG and not having a bench.
He was also doing things(more than one) not one person on this board thought he could or would do. He literally played out of position all year.
He was only billed as a "shooter" by the fans here. I'm not a recruitnik but I don't think there was anything that made you believe he was going to be a lights out shooter, other than hopes on here. Think he was a 30 something % 3 pt shooter in HS. Same thing happened with Leal. Wishes become hopes on here and somewhere that transforms to expectations for our fans, and then disappointment. I didn't expect him to shoot 10% on 3s, but never expected he was going to come in and be an assassin. I just liked the awareness and hustle he showed on D. Most freshmen look lost on D in college and he looked good. Yes, the offense kept him off the floor and I don't know why he kept putting up 3s and didn't start to look for hustle baskets.
I'd still use him off the bench..At almost starters min..
We can bang on Trey for this or that.But he brings a bunch of positives when he's on the floor..
Geronimo left because he was upset over lack of playing time, when healthy. Frustrations mount internally until you pout externally. We all witnessed it.
Bates left to be closer to his newly born son. His fatherhood was ill-timed, as if transitioning from the familiarity of home to distant college wasn’t stressful enough. He missed his son and priorities change until it became a distraction to his game. You don’t need a PhD in Psychology to figure this one out.

I'm not a fan of Love's game at UNC either. If he comes to IU it's because Coach thinks he can make him play under control with X as the PG.
Yeah, Hubert seems like a nice guy and I've actually found myself rooting for him more than I'd have expected, but the way this team continued to play while struggling is head-scratching and calls his coaching into question.
Well, that would certainly be a dynamic backcourt athletically and the type that could get you to an NCAA tourney, or a prescription for an anti-depressent! After watching Love continually hoist bad shots with a player underneath nearly as dominant as TJD, it would be hard for me to believe he's going to be our savior.
The portal process is just starting and CMW is on the hot seat? A bit premature, don’t you think?
Give the man a chance to at least establish a roster and then decide whether it is incapable of making the tournament next year. We may all be surprised by what he assembles.
This is the new norm under life with the portal.

true, but my real point was that Love did not carry his teammates butt's there; don't you find that odd or concerning? I mean, they returned 80% of their starters and scoring. Manek I think was a huge presence in the locker room and team and they've been underwhelming without him.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, You are so negative it is not worth the effort for me to convince you to be excited.
Your post sounded ridiculous when you posted it and it has gotten even more ridiculous every day since then.
He shot his wad way too early. The Portal barely opened then.
He’s now the town drunk on GBI.
Yep. Bye Felicia. He scurries around the Purdoo board. I saw a couple posts from him when I clicked a link to their board. He’s probably more at home there…
Uk had a team with way more talent than we will have next year that went 9-16, next year will be interesting. Woodson done a helluva job reconstructing the roster this off season even if we don't add anyone else. Ware and Mgbako all though 5 stars still have to prove it on the court. Ware looked talented but lazy at Oregon and couldn't crack the starting lineup on a below average team. Mgbako left Duke because of competition and went scoreless in the Mcdonalds AA game. could both average 15 next year and be lottery picks very possible. could both disappoint also possible. can Woodson build this roster into a team, or could we have a bunch of talented individuals with their own agendas? last year overall was a disappointment I stand by that. This year will be pivotal for Woodson, and I hope we truly are on our way back to national prominence. winning a major recruiting battle is a good start. hope we see it on the court.
Doesn't take much. Despite their generous treatment here, They aren't nearly as accepting of rival programs' posters over there.
He appears to live there...He is the IU version of Ordfan/Jackskip23 only honest about who he is.
Your original post was ridiculous because you spoke too soon. The portal had only been open a couple weeks.
And the season was not a disappointment when you only had 2 players who would start on another B10 team — with no real bench to speak of. Certainly, Bates and Geronimo were disappointing, but considering what Woody had to work with, they probably overachieved.
More than two.
Trey and Race would have started on several teams. Kopp on a couple more.
Not on teams that finished in the top 5. I think they would’ve been in the rotation, but can’t guarantee they’d start.
You don't think Trey would start vs Loyer or Smith?

If Trey were on another team, all we'd hear is IU needs players like that. I understand him being a bench player on this past season's team had X not got hurt but X got hurt. This year's team will be much younger and his experience is invaluable. Then there is the team needs 3 point shooting. I realize he wasn't in the plan to be a 3 point shooter so not a lot of volume but he was 30 for 65 and 46%. Some of those 3's were in important moments of games. I bet that he is working on that shot even more. If he gets beat out then great. That will make team much better but until then he should be the starter. Actually, he might be perfect complement to X who can be a bit of a loose cannon at times. Will he get 5th year option due to COVID?
What a person puts on social media never completely goes away.
I guess it's all about what your expectations are. do you want to be Iowa or Duke? original post still is valid. if we have a great season and Ware and Mgambo play to everyone's expectations, Woodson will have us in great shape going forward. recruiting wise and using the portal, if not things can go south quickly. time will tell.
