If Caleb Furst hit the portal would he be someone we look at? There's speculation by some Purdue fans that he might..Both being from Fort Wayne, I'm sure Goode could do a little recruiting assuming he commits...

I wouldn’t complain. We have a need for his position. He has seemed to regress the past year or two but I think he would be serviceable for the spot we need filled. Odds are slim tho so I won’t get my hopes up

You're mixing apples and oranges...

If Woodson wanted to upgrade talent, and gave Gunn and Banks their walking papers, that's one thing...

Worrying about the 13th scholarship after that fact is another...

 

Ok but the 13th scholarship doesn’t automatically have to be the worst player on the team. For example, if we add that Humrichous player with the last scholarship available, I don’t think anyone would say he’s our worst player.

The fact that the 13th scholarship last season wasn’t used as an opportunity to upgrade talent is the issue. Missing out on an NAIA level talent isn’t the issue.

So you coach...You never give kids a chance?

 

I think there’s a difference between giving players a chance and being honest with yourself and knowing where you need to upgrade talent. Anybody could’ve looked at our guard situation last year and noticed it was a little suspect. You have to do your due diligence and put together the best roster possible. It’s ok to admit that Woodson failed in that department last year

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is first or second team all conference wherever he decides to go

Lumping Purdue in with Wisconsin is an interesting choice. We don’t play close to the way they do. 

Sureeee... if anything Wisconsin had a more enjoyable offense to watch than Purdue last year

Have to think, Anderson was not playing in a major conference.

And a larger role… FGCU didn’t have a TSJ or Domask on their team last year

There was so many Goode rumors swirling from different sources it was hard to keep up there for a bit. Some said he was staying, some said he was portaling, and some said he was portaling and heading to IU. 

Just giving you a hard time, I appreciate the info you pass along

Yes, and I think that's where the Goode rumors originated. I wish I knew who it was but very few people are willing to share the name since the player hasn't entered the portal yet. 

Now my follow up question… did they follow up “no it’s not Goode” with a winky face lmao

Well I think that answers our question lol

That was really what I personally thought but other people were saying there was something to it. I think it’s because of the vague clues about a senior that’s going to enter the portal that’s a shooter that is supposedly a done deal to IU but he hasn’t yet entered the portal. 

Do you believe there is any truth to that rumor of the mystery player

It’s all Goode 

I like that. His size is much more appealing than CE. Similar role and game but can play the wing rather than adding to the 6 guards that will all be competing for 2 spots

I said at one point, it’d be funny…with all the talk about the portal and watch….Newton will be the second coming of Cade Cunningham or something. 😂

I wouldn’t be surprised honestly. I’ve been excited about him since he committed. Could be special

I’m looking forward to seeing what Newton can provide us this year. You can’t bank on him being an impact player given he hasn’t played competitive basketball in 2 years at this point, but the potential is there. Hopefully we see some of that potential this year

Sounds like that would be an uphill battle 

Thanks. I kinda figured that. Just not reciprocal interest or did we not really pursue?

IU is now working on Power 

Are we pursuing Brea at all?

I dont step foot in Bloomington unless its to attend a game. Its pretty much a smaller portland. HARD PASS. 

I’ve heard it be called the San Francisco of the Midwest lol… that’s all I’ll comment on it

I have a hard time believing he'll do two years in a row.

Sorry, I meant was it confirmed that he redshirted last year? I would assume so but I don’t remember seeing anything. Is he considered a rs freshman now? You’re right I wouldn’t expect him to redshirt this upcoming year

Speaking of Gallo, any word on his recovery?

Will Newton redshirt?

Any updates on Payne? Or had that ship sailed now that Ballo is on board?

How do you remember that. 7 out of 10 have been IU targets over the last 8 years.

I only remember him because he was one of Archie’s priorities at one point, only to hop around schools and put up mediocre numbers. I looked up his stats and will give him credit that he has improved throughout his career, averaging 15 points 8 rebounds and 3 assists this season.

I’ve never been out for blood, and I never want to root against our own team. I thought it was a logical move to cut bait when the cupboard was empty so to speak, and there were several guys ripe for the picking- May, Mussleman, Beard, etc. I thought the staff did a poor job last year and would rate last season as a C-. 
I would have preferred a coaching change, but as it stands, we are all in on CMW, like it or not, and getting top guys in the portal is a great first step. Lots on the line next season, as I’m sure coach is aware. Until we take a superiorly talented team on a sub par journey, all I can say is Go IU…

Well said

Props to Woodson… let’s keep it going

This video editor needs to hurry his ass up

edit: nevermind lol
