Makes more sense

That would be a violation. Bates has not entered the portal.

Galloway and Leal will only leave if they are told to. It is my understanding.

The problem is both most likely have some validity. I know Fife was complaining about Woodson awhile back ago. He was complaining about Wittman, Todd and Hill. Too much input. Assistants being ignored. I think most likely Fife has some MAGA in him that rubbed people the wrong way. He commented about masks earlier in the season. if I was IU I would hire Adams or promote Walsh who will make a fantastic assistant some day.

Usually these things are more in the middle when it is made so public. IU is trying to validate firing one of their own and doing a very poor job of it. IU has mishandled everything from what it sounds like. Having the assistants in there and then hiring consultants who Woodson values more. It’s a crap show. This looks really bad for IU. Wittman and the others need to be shown the door as well.

You are saying it’s People other than IU making this bigger than what it is. The only one doing that right now is IU and pushing it down to Rabjohns. In pure IU stupidity they are making it worse.

Did I mention Woodson? I mentioned JD Campbell who is a human excrement BTW. He will threaten reporters, etc if IU doesn’t like what they say. This is an access thing and it’s being pushed down by IU.

No IU is pushing the narrative at Peegs. Dakich who I dislike isn’t wrong about Rabjohns. He is pushing a narrative for IU and most likely coming down from Campbell.

Where do you think they are getting it? JD Campbell most likely. It is similar to when Crean was in trouble. Campbell would threaten losing access to Peegs and others if they didn’t tone it down. IU is screwing this up royally and it’s not a good look for them.

Totally disagree. He is only 6’8”/6’9” and not even athletic as Tom Pritchard. He is more of a big body that takes up space and with his height that isn’t great. He is ranked appropriately as he most likely is just a bench player. One player that I don’t think is a need for this class. Don’t need another bench center. We need someone who will be more impactful. If you are going to take someone who won’t play for a couple years take someone who has higher upside.

Really. Why? He screams shorter version of Joey Brunk.

Really? Duncomb nobody has a clue on and Durr is just a backup type center. This is where you want to go? That is a crap ton of optimism there.

It’s not fans mentally shoving. He wants to play and he has offers for other places it seems. His circle is not happy with how the season is coming along for him. He struggles with D and TOs right now. Phinisee does D really well. If we had a player who Woodson felt comfortable playing both sides he would play him. He isn’t playing if Phinisee gets hurt. Bates, Leal and Galloway will get those minutes. Unless something drastically changes, he most likely is gone. Know an AAU coach who said it’s like he is being pushed out and they don’t think he is ready to contribute.

Most likely gone at the end of the season.

I don’t know about Florida but he has always seemed to be a backup for Bama to me which seems odd to say. They have two top 25 kids they are in good with. If they whiff here or pass they better be pretty sure they are getting one of the two. Clowney I think will end up being great and would love the addition. Scores at all three levels and has a Bosh/Turner vibe to me.

OSU makes sense for him. Holtzman does great with kids like him.

Also pay for themselves to travel places and bring family. They are losers and need to be stopped. It’s embarrassing with the way they act and the crap they pull.

I mean two 5 stars, a top 40 kid and a complete reach by the IU staff as the top performers. Who would have thought?

Already have the TVs for Iowa State with Iowa. Kansas adds more TVs like Colorado, USC, UCLA, and Oregon do.

That’s your problem. One video. Also it’s evident you like your extremes. First 35 kids in Indiana and now a one and done first rounder. The kid has a lot of great offers from Stanford, Indiana, OSU, Xavier, etc. Will he be great? Nobody knows that. It’s projecting. He is a coaches son, nice shot, smart kid, etc. He handles the ball well. Jordan Hulls averaged 16 ppg his senior season. Anthony Leal averaged 18 his senior season. I could go on for ages about D1 kids who averaged less or the same points as a sophomore.

LOL at the dude saying there were 35 kids in Indiana that are like this.

Agree and it’s not like a David William’s situation where we were the only school who offered. High major schools have offered and he has nice height, etc. “His feel, pace, decision making, floor awareness, and shot making abilities were all on display. Very confused on why he is not nationally ranked ”

Well that is the problem. It’s a highlight video. Like I said, Indiana kid circle jerk. Just stop.

Exactly. Plenty of guards we are looking at. I was just basically calling out the ridiculousness of comparing him to 35 other guards in Indiana. People need to calm down on offers. I get it. I didn’t initially like the Woodson hire but then Fife came and I calmed down. He got some good players to come in and I calmed down. It’s like the Smith thing. IU in 2022 is looking at a lot of different things other than PG. It doesn’t look like a need with the three PGs we have. 2023 is different as we lose two of them. Cupp has some potential and is a coach’s son. Just wait to freak out as I have learned as well.
