Woodson

[bailey777]

So Woodson now has his guys as they say. I am expecting big things on recruiting no excuses now. He had his guys as they love to say. He got rid of the so called cancer do lets see some big time results this summer. This is usually the time new coaches get big recruits early on before they have had seasons.. Archie did. Crean did. Davis did.

Woodson did. Let's not minimize Tamar & JHS. How many 5-star recruits per recruiting class would satisfy you? According to the 247 Composite, our 2022 class is 2nd in the B1G and #15 overall. Our 2023 class is currently 2nd in the B1G and #4 overall. Woodson is doing fine.

OP is trying to set up future rants against Woodson... I agree with you CMW has had his good start!

Man you are insufferable. Seriously.

 

[mobilehoosier]

Woodson getting IU back to NCAA is a good season to start with. He has plenty to build on. Go Hoosiers!

BRAVO! When you don't do your research you get shut up real quick.

Someone here was yapping at my ankles recently that recruiting had fallen off with Woody. May have been 777 or EarlTubbs.

You nailed him firmly to the locker room door.

This next recruiting class will make or break Woodson. One high level recruit and a couple misses won’t get it done. He needs a stacked class to get over the hump.

You are 100% but nothing should be holding him back now he has all his own guys to do the recruiting. We will soon see if this NBA thing sells to the top level recruits or not. But all new coaches mostly had their best classes early on so like you said this 2023 class needs to be stacked for him. No late bloomers or Crean type recruits legit top 50 guys.

Exactly, we don't want 1 damn 3☆ Steph Curry. Children!!!

As usual, totally BS comments. All new coaches start with stacked recruits? Any stats to back this up? So, we should expect and demand a stacked class next year with all top 50 guys? Good luck, Mike, we have really demanding fans.

👆 This. Just keep in mind where the IU basketball program was before Woodson was hired.

When you take over a management job, there are a million different things you can do in your first few days, weeks, months, year...on the job. What you do, how you make decisions, etc... sets the tone for your entire program/company/division/team...

I think the single most important things you can do, if you have goals of establishing long term success, is establish your identity and your culture...who are you, and how are you going to operate? Those things don't necessarily have to be at the expense of other things, like wins on the court, or market share gains in business. Obviously success should always be strived for. But wins and gains, at the expense of establishing a strong foundation, well they're short lived more often than not.

I certainly had my fair share of concerns with Woody throughout this season. In game decisions, strategy and roster/playing time decisions. But those are ancillary things. The foundational things he established, I'm very happy about, and comfortable will lead to something solid in Bloomington.

Indiana Basketball under Woodson, appears as though its going to be a hard nosed, defensive minded program.

And he's going to have conduct standards in place, that he holds everyone in the program accountable to.

Now, he has to go get the best available talent he can, that fits, or that he's confident will fit, those 2 primary things he's worked hard to establish.

From the early returns for this offseason, he's diligently working through that process as we speak.

Woodson had a late start in the 2022 recruiting battle and somewhat in the 2023 battle. Given that let's see how it goes.

It goes without saying for any D1 coach... Captain Obvious... Every class is important... There is no make or break situation here.

 

[Radio Zero]

It won’t be on MW if he doesn’t come through, it’ll be on each and every one of us - alumni, fans, “friends of the program,” MCL at College Mall - for not producing the sweet, sweet NIL money. We can now truly say the fans bear responsibility for the failure or success of the team.

For every Victor Crean had four Prillers you will every once in awhile strick gold but loading up on " late bloomers" is usually not going to make you an elite team. But what do I know.

the incoming class looks really good. will he play them?

Comparing Crean with Woodson re. basketball knowledge, nice analogy.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

With the classes he has for 2022 and 2023 how much PT will there be?

You are a dumbass.

Well, there wasn't a question mark after the last sentence but let's assume that was a mistake.

My answer to that questions is

NOTHING.

I would hope elite recruits aren’t scared off by sub top 100 recruits.

One top 125 recruit is really good? I don’t think Penn State or Nebraska would call that “really good”.

 

[Fpeaugh2]

It’s more important when you’re a new coach trying to build momentum. This is very elementary kid.

WTF are you talking about with this 1 top 125 recruit garbage?

Troll better. You're embarrassing your fellow John Purdue disciples.

It's plain that went right over the level of your comprehension. I'll not waste my time again.

Momentum is there
.. He has proven himself as one that can close the sale... This is obvious! Keep trying...

perhaps we should at least let them make a dribble or two in an indiana uniform before we completely trash them. btw. what was ja morant rated coming out of high school?

It's disgusting how a small number of people begin prematurely downgrading a coach so they can boast they predicted it first.,

We have to wait to see if these talented recruits and returning players have the killer instinct and a win at all cost attitude that wins big games. Final piece is experience. It is difficult these days to keep players together long enough to bring all the elements together.

Talent and coaching isn't enough in the portal and NIL era. You need like-minded young men that want to win championships where they are and not looking at moving to the next school.

Hey dipshit. That's a top 15 recruiting class nationally and 3rd in the conference with #21 #74, and a #141 according to 247. Even by Rivals rankings you're an idiot for saying we've got one "Top 125" recruit when JHS is 16th nationally with them.

EvErY iU ReCrUIt is JuSt a ToP 300 gUy.

BTW, nice job studying the original feepew posts and finally bringing back the kid pejorative in an attempt to mask your broiler troller identity.

You wouldn't know.

What do your classes look like for '22 and '23? Ivey, Hamburglar, the white kid with unfortunate hair...all gone right?

Why don't you just worry about your own broken program?

Nope, FeePee and the GBI crew trash early and often.

Not at all the same as throwing darts blindfolded. James Kane knew as soon as he watched him. It helps to close the 247 star ratings on your computer, tune out the NBALive fan boys' chatter, and actually watch kids play.

"His mother (Ja Morant) was so uninformed about the recruitment process she asked if the scholarship was for four full years.

“I just started laughing,” Kane said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s four-year scholarship, but he’s only going to be there two years.'”"

He knew nothing about him, by accident saw him playing by himself, but knew immediately that he was a great talent.

Wasn't suggesting it's throwing darts blindfolded. The question remains: What are the odds of getting a sub-100 all-star or even a 2-deep NBA player? Whether a recruiter can accurately detect sub-100 diamonds is a different discussion.
