Just a quick message of appreciation to Newton and Cupps. They could have easily taken the portal route but seem genuinely engaged in bringing talent to IU. Appreciate you guys and hope you ball out next season!

That Washington State - Arkansas game must have blown peoples minds 😂.

True. After the top 10, it looks very arguable. Oregon state? I may be missing something maybe from the 1940s. Or I’m just clueless which is certainly possible.

I am impressed with what I see. Very smooth, looks to be able to create his own shot, smooth stroke. I’m sure he misses some of those fadeaways, but if he is consistent on those, tough to stop.

Well, you must know a lot more than I do about what he gets at IU and what every other university in the country could have offered. Whatever the reason, I am glad he will be a Hoosier.

I think it’s awesome he is back. It will help bring in some high level perimeter players knowing there is a serious inside scoring threat. Just my opinion, but Malik could have gone literally anywhere. Woodson just needs to get a high level supporting cast, and figure out how to use them.

It appears that way, since we can offer both and we still have 0 commits at this point. But I understand your point, things will apparently plan to buy a team soon.

Me too. Not sure why, but have always kind of paid attention to DePaul and hoped it could get going again. Surprised a Chicago pipeline of some sort can’t result in a decent team. The good ole days with Dallas Comegys and Tyrone Corbin.

I do apologize if this has been floated, but the last 24 hours has been hard to keep up with. As far as I know, Woodson has not been extended. So his contract has 3 more yrs. Clearly not ideal for recruiting HS players. If I were AD, I would release as much NIL as possible to help Woody go out on a high note and pony up to get the coach in waiting on board now, like May. could we pay May enough to come as associate head coach and wait a year or 2 and also have Woody be accepting of that? just trying to build some hope here

Exactly, I think those 2 being involved initially gave everyone a level of comfort with the plan.

We are saving visits but now we visit, I have learned no indiana commits for Woodson in 3 yrs, dominated by NW, PSU and Nebraska, the “hump” is way too big of an issue, hearing a 4th year is ok with forced asst coach changes or a GM to “help”? (Where does this happen) Goodness, if our admin can’t see this writing on the wall…..but maybe I am just a frustrated fan.

This is so true, and exactly why I was so disappointed in the Syracuse loss. I felt that team had enough of everything to go far, maybe win it all. unfortunately we were confused on the first offensive possession. Sorry for the trigger of opportunity lost.

The whole discussion about the fan base being the problem for IU just drives me crazy. It hasnt missed a shot or made a turnover ever. I think the fan base is the one thing that has been good the last 20 years. Without it, we are DePaul right now.

Some talented shirt creator needs to develop some IU swag that depicts this infamous “hump” we have been trying to get over for several years.

It isn’t time to fire Woodson yet. This year has been unbearable so far, but it isn’t over. Clearly there are things that need to get better. When hired, I remember him commenting about his unique use of the “3 ball” and commenters were talking about his 4 out style of play. Maybe I have missed it, but haven’t seen either yet. Also, I think most of us fans would be good with the current record if we could do the basics, like rebound, defend, and minimize turnovers. And maybe have a decent offensive approach. Coach needs to step up on these things that have nothing to do with shooting ability and fans will notice it. it may be too late for the tournament, but hopefully he addresses these basic things soon for the sake of his job and the program.
