When he got on a roll as an upperclassmen, it seemed like every shot was going in. Yep. Shot like poop early on though! The athleticism and the "get after it" was always there though, right!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always an elite athlete with drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 We’ve also been recruiting some shooting forwards so don’t rule that out. You could get to a five man class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) I didn't know where to put this but it's something I have been noticing about who we target.....Have you been noticing that Woody is targeting guys who love basketball and have big motors? He's after tenacious guys who are competitive. Music to my ears. It's not surprising, not just because of who Woody played for in college. He played freaking hard and was competitive. It's huge at this level. You put a whole team together where everyone is like that, and synergy forms and you become tough to beat even when you are off that night. Couple that with his emphasis on length and rangy athletes with quickness and we may have quite a look in coming years.

If it is accurate, I fully approve. I believe that is a far superior approach versus where a kid is from or goes to school or sits in the rankings. On an unrelated note, I was looking at the rivals list and saw Edgerrin James, Jr. The kid looks like his pop (minus the "grille"). 6'-1" guard.

Couple that with his emphasis on length and rangy athletes with quickness and we may have quite a look in coming years. Doesn't surprise me, either. Partially for the reasons you state but also because of an interview I saw with Rosemond around the time he was hired. I don't remember exactly what was said but he basically said that it was important to evaluate recruits on more than just talent. Personality, motivation, and things like that are just as, if not more, important than just talent. He was saying they needed to watch not just how the kids did on the court but how they acted during timeouts in the huddle, how they responded to adversity, and things of that nature. So targeting players who love basketball and play hard all the time seems to line up with what he looks for in recruits, too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Rivals is updating their top 150 for 2023 this week. The top ten was revealed today. Xavier Booker is all the way up to 2nd overall, behind only GG Jackson. KJ Evans drops out, had been ranked 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Robby Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 The impression I’m getting is we are all in on TJ Power, Page, and most recent offer DHS. Power has blown up the past few weeks so there’s some serious comp for him. I’m trying to decide on Booker… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they haven’t given up What I really like about this coaching staff's approach to recruiting is that they aren't timid and don't back down. They have players they want and go after them hard even if they have an outside chance of landing them. It's already paid off by landing Reneau. I don't think anyone thought IU had a chance when he decommitted. This is a much different approach to recruiting than IU has had for a long time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
