We lack talent...period....especially at the guard position. The success of Woody is not only going to come down to recruiting good players but identifying the right guys in the first place. We like to talk constantly about the recruiting rankings and how Duke lands a couple of top ten guys every year. Woody may never recruit like that but if you look around the Big Ten you see teams succeeding with guys ranked no higher than what Archie was landing before Woody got here. Archie either landed more busts than any coach I can remember or he just couldn't develop them (probably a little of both). Painter on the other hand hasn't recruited any better on paper than IU the past many years but has experienced good success while we can't even get into the dance with 68 other teams. Just going by Rivals, Johnny Davis-134, Keegan Murray-43, Jaden Ivey-79.
One thing for sure is Woody needs more shooters and toughness on the team. I'll bet he just shakes his head behind closed doors when talking about our shooting and folding down the stretch.
