    Yeah, as much as I think IU needs a change, if things fall right this is also really fixable. If Woodson can convince the right guys to come back and he has a pretty solid track record of getting guys to return/not transfer. But, he's going to have to change how he recruits and the style of play. 

    McNeely, while obviously a great shooter, is more athletic and explosive than MM. Get McNeely at the 3, MM at the 4 and Reneau at the 5. Galloway back. Then go hit the transfer portal hard for veteran guards and wings that are smart, tough and can create and/or make shots. 

    Problem is, it could just as easily go other way where we lose almost all of those guys and it's basically a rebuild. 

    I would add that impact freshmen can make a helluva difference.  If McNeely can come in and be a "man" right away it tilts the scales.

    They've all lived it, so they know better than me or you or anyone on this forum what playing at a place like Indiana is like...

    They're going to be there because they're good kids, good teammates, and they're proud of their school...

    And I'm sure they're there to support the kids that followed them, and the ones that played for Woody are there to show that all this scuttle is exactly what Trey Galloway said it is..."Nonsense."

    If Coach Woodson was as terrible at developing them both on and off the court, or the lazy and lackadaisical coach many on here portray him as, I'm sure they wouldn't bother... 

    TJD and JHS are here to get the guys over the hump...

    Regarding the Woody benefited comments I still think there’s no way that TJD gets drafted by Golden State and plays significant minutes this year without CMW’s development. Additionally, I didn’t recall JHS being slated to be a lottery pick at the beginning of last year. He was 1st round but not a lottery pick. I feel Woodson utilized him well. 

    Too bad Woody can't develop a team.
