  1. Probably hoping Mgbako stays. If Mgbako stays and both start with Reneau (who isn't sitting), then you have a decision to make between protecting the rim with a center like Ware (or poor man's version more likely) and having a huge lineup or hoping those 3 can be enough size and put them with 2 guards.
  2. If Mgbako returns, then this better mean that we aren't going after a starting big man SF Tucker / PF Mgbako / C Reneau vs SG Tucker / SF Mgbako / PF Reneau / Unnamed Center If we are looking at the latter option, then that PG better be one hell of a 3 pt shooter lol Or Mgbako is already gone and just hasn't been announced yet.
  3. well hopefully they end up fitting together. We have so many spots to fill, I wouldn't be shocked if this is just the spray and pray method to get bodies on to the team.
  4. he's a low end 5 star / high end 4 star. We would probably wait for as long as we have a chance. Plus, they can go after the other dominos before he decides.
  5. Looks like we may have our replacement for mcneeley....except it doesn't help our lack of 3 pt shooting
  6. I think Woodson's system is just good for big men and equally bad for guards. If our team is good at one thing, it is feeding the post players. Hard to say how much development was done by staff but they definitely gave him the opportunity.
  7. Hopefully he decides to stay and he plays the 4 this coming season. The big issue with that is how crappy our interior defense would be with MR at the 5 and MG at the 4. But if you keep them at 3 and 4 and bring in another 5, then we are right back where we were this past year...crappy. If MG leaves, then I would have MR shooting 3s all summer and in his sleep. Whatever you can do to turn him into an outside threat. If MG returns, then I would have MR figuring out how to be an undersized rim protector without fouling as much. Basically MR is going to have to move one way or the other instead of stuck in between positions. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/who-is-returning-for-iu-basketball-it-comes-down-to-mackenzie-mgbako/
  8. He was injured before the season started
  9. Most would take Painter over Woodson and he isn't even on the list. Pearl is #4 on the list. Hard to think we would be able to steal him without making us #1 on the overpaying list.
  10. https://x.com/Trey_Laing/status/1772589408094478833?s=20 Laing is gone from the DL as well.
  11. Calimari is an average coach that used to be able to have a major advantage by buying players before NIL was a thing. Now that everyone is openly buying players, he lost his advantage. If we want the one coach that can do less than Woodson with more talent, then cal is the guy. Personally I would rather someone get more out of the team than the sum of their parts.
  12. Because if you threw it out enough to the guards and they actually were a threat, then opposing teams would be less likely to double team in the first place. You will never have a good offense overall playing 2 or 3 on 5
  13. You are bound to get more assists when you get the ball on most plays. Still way too many times where he would force the issue, get fouled and then go 1 of 2 from the line. Those misses don't count against his fg% due to the foul. Turning it over also doesn't count against his FG% I'm not saying he was bad on offense and part of it is also Woodson's crappy offense system that feeds the post while having the outside players sitting around doing nothing to get themselves open.
  14. The only bad thing is it requires us to have 2 post players since he can't rebound or protect the rim very well. And most of us are well over watching buddy ball in the post. MR is a good player on offense but somewhat of a black hole. Hopefully he works on his free throws, rebounding and ability to defend without fouling.
  15. Now we just need a shot blocker / rim protector that can play outside on offense and shoot the 3.
  16. We are waiting for their moms to contact woodson. PS. We should be sending mgbako's mom a cake for thinking of us or we may have had a losing season this year.
  17. If Woodson cared about the good of the program then he would have stepped aside this off-season. This is nothing but purgatory for year and putting us back even farther
  18. Maybe woodson attends as many practices as he does HS games of players he is recruiting lol
  19. He could always give himself an out in his contract should iu come calling. Of course, it is unknown if osu or Louisville would do something like that. Going to Purdue didn't stop brohm from flipping to Louisville. I don't know what dusty makes now but might be difficult to pass up millions regardless of how much he wants to be at iu. I would probably take the job at osu or Louisville and try to make it as easy as possible for iu to steal me later.
  20. Well everyone knows people that like Woodson are the only ones that attend games. Those that don't like Woodson are closet Purdue fans It is known
  21. It's combined with the part about you don't get an opinion unless you coached. So what I learned is I better support woodson if i want to be a true fan and I need to go find a coaching job in order to have an opinion.
  22. I am sure there is stuff that gets sent that is way out of line and most of us would probably agree on it.
  23. It's not the coming to woodson's defense that people take issue with.. It's the "there's a reason you guys aren't coaches" line that seems to indicate people who haven't coached don't get an opinion. and then at the end telling people to chill. People are allowed their opinion regardless of their coaching experience. Just like Leal, who has never coached, is allowed his opinion.
