IU Scott

What? How was I looking for a fight

I know we as fans we are to close to the situation. Outside of this fan base our reputation is not very good. I guarantee you that other coaches us this against us. If we were winning it wouldn't matter but when we are mediocre it will influence kids decisions.

Illinois wasn't one of teams I mentioned

Don Fischer was on the JMV show and was talking about all of this. He said he knows for a fact the fans does have influence on kids current or recruits with how they act on social media. If our fans boo at senior night that will not only strengthen the reputation of our fan base. If you are unhappy just don't go to the game

To me in the pros you build through the draft and fill your needs in free agency. To me it is the same here because you build your roster with recruiting high school kids and fill your needs in the portal. I am just going off the top of my head but looking at PU, Houston, UCONN and Tennessee who all could be 1 seeds. How many 5 star players are on these rosters. I know Castle at UCONN is but I don't know if there are any others. Also how many portal guys did they bring in this year.

These players are entitled and soft. I would love for IU to start recruiting tough minded players who are just about winning.

I know you have to keep in contact but to me it sad that you still have to coddle recruits after they sign with your school.

I am surprised that about the only person I'm the media who is backing Woodson is DD. He was ripping the media for trying ask questions about Liam because no coach will tell reporters what actually happened. He was making fun of Liam and the pictures of him in his candy stripes and the call me signal. He wants IU to get away from soft players and bring actual tough guys in and be men I stead of little kids.

I dislike his coaching but why should a coach talk to blogger boys about recruiting

That is totally classless

If he is planning on retiring why would they announce he will be back next year. I just think people are grasping at straws now

I wonder what Liam saw that made him commit to IU in the first place. He saw how we played the last two years yet he commits to IU anyways. What is bad is that our offense the last few games has looked better. It seems like we are not throwing into the post as much as we did earlier. It seems like the ball is moving better and you can see that with 28 assists last night. The question is why did it take so long to change the offense

I would bet KU

I will never change my fandom to another team especially ND

I didn't say we would be good but better than Crean's first year. If Crean had the portal that year then his first year would have been a lot better

On Sunday every fan should stand outside of AH during the game and not go inside

I doubt it will be that bad with the portal in play

It isn't like we will get only 5th year transfers but guys with multiple years of eligibility.

I doubt most if Cupps money comes from NIL but more from social media

I heard someone say there are some seats with obstructed views

Without the first two you don't get the third

Probably most if it is from his social media profile

The problem is how the fans interpret the information and react to it. You saw the ground swell on the message boards and social media because everybody assumed it was true.

Might need to get better sources. The problem by the time the rumors get here it has went through 4 or 5 people. Janitor over hears something tells his son. Son goes to school and tells friends Friends go home to tell their parents. Parents tell insiders bthe info It is the phone game

Sometimes if I didn't know better these so called insiders just post these rumors to mess with our fan base and get clicks
