UNC is under new management. Duke is about to be under new management. The natives are restless down south. Now is as good a time as any for Woodson to lean on that NBA pedigree and reassert Indiana as a real player for the top kids. You bring in talent, this staff will win. You bring up a very good point. This is the type of recruit who would go to UK/Duke/NC in season’s past. I think times are changing for our favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is going to be NIL for these top prospects… Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Texas have people who will pay crap tons to bring top recruits in. I just don’t think Indiana has that which surprises me with how much people love Indiana basketball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative perspective I had that would help IU is that most of those teams you mentioned already had donors giving money to players. Now IU can do this as well. It may balance the leger a bit. Anyway, we will find out soon enough. Edited December 22, 2021 by GaloisGroupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Just your weekly reminder that Woodson has been in charge for only 9 months or so. Amazing the elevation in recruiting he's done already. Securing visits (as of now) for the elite of elite recruits? Thank you very much. This is all we've ever wanted. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his coaching prowess. CAM got plenty of guys on campus. He just didn’t close the deal with those out of state 5 star guys. IMO it’s a little premature to think things have really changed yet. TBD for me. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t have the same quality right now if CAM had stayed (most likely), but who knows with the transfer portal. College bball completely changed this past offseason. I like what CMW has done so far, but it’s all been based off of his NBA experience. Now let’s see if we can win games and build something sustainable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids like that go straight to the G-League or other professional leagues now. Don't get me wrong....some kids come in and only play a year but that is mostly because they exceed expectations...the Cousins/Walls/Zions of the world won't be coming to college anymore. With the transfer portal one year might be all many teams get with these kids....seeing as so many transfer regardless of playing time etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breakdown of the projected 2022 top 20 picks is 15 freshmen, 4 sophomores and 1 international. One and done is still alive and well.

Although rich, I doubt Mellencamp has the kinda cash to pay one player a hefty amount. Cuban? Yes. Yes he does. I am still not a big fan of this regardless of the player. If they are that good, in essence you're going to be paying a guy for one year. Not sure what kinda of agreements you can make with these kids, like make them stay for three years for such and such money. I would support doing what Texas did for their o-line, pay each kid a certain amount. But to give one kid a ton of cash for one year? I'll pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true story.. my dads family is from brown county Indiana and one of Mellencamps sons was in someone in my dads family’s wedding so I always say I went to a wedding with him 😂😂😂😂…. Is there any rules to Mark Cuban giving NIL’s? If so I bet he has some friends that could step in for him to get around those rules. Cuban has a crap ton of money he should be giving to the players if he’s allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
