Stop! Lol…Gunn and Banks. 

Cupps, Newton, Taco, Reneau, Sparks?

The key to securing players that were wavering is which ones.  #1 needs to be Mgbako.  He was showing flashes of what he could be at the end of the season.  I preface that with saying that assumes Ware is NBA bound.  Otherwise, Ware would be THE guy to bring back.

On the flip side, if he's making inroads towards bringing back guys that had fallen out of the rotation, that does not really help much.

yeah!  maybe we can still look forward to Cupps, Gunn, Mtaco, Banks, and Reneau lineup? 

not saying i have a ton of confidence in this team, but MSU is just not that great this year.  they have been very unimpressive their last 4 games.  29% chance to beat them at the Hall?  i never know where to look for the line.  where does that stand right now?  still so curious how we come out with the negative publicity in the media.  could definitely go either way.

Dude JHS was a first rounder before the season started.  Stop.  TJD worked with NBA trainers a ton.  Stop.  Ware is soft.  Mgbako will transfer.  Just wait.  

i've tried to tell them this so many times.  don't waste your time and energy.

I guess there is an unconfirmed rumor of donors pulling back funds. Any clue? I need my daily dose of IU drama

sounds like it is the case for some big donors, but a couple are trying to give Woodson a chance by throwing a lot of money to the portal.

So with that thinking no coach should ever get credit for kids development. They just get criticized if they don't develop 

that's right Scott.  i believe no coach should get any credit.

I see development this year from Ware and MM. I see growth from Reneau from last year. The problem is not recruiting or developing guards and wings.

seriously though, don't most guys improve some every year under any coach?

see, i don't buy that kids make their decision based on fans posts on the internet.  at the same time, as unhappy as i am with Woodson, if i had a ticket and was able to get there, i would never turn down going to the game.  i would not boo him.  i would not cheer specifically for him when announced, but would cheer for the team.

so an avg. of 20-11 is now pretty good. That record will get you in the NIT every year or a 15 seed in a down year. not sure how Woodson is going to sleep at night next year without XJ.

X is not a winner or good leader.  he is also not a consistently good basketball player.  

i will always watch IU bball.  good, bad, or ugly.  i don't give money because i am a poor school teacher.  

i wasn't upset when we got rid of Crean, but the man embraced Hoosier tradition and toughed out a terrible situation to get us to a #1 ranking.  i totally agreed that he had maxed out where he could get us, but he did things right and there were some fun teams to watch.

Please, when referring to Woody, can you use the term Woodcock.

all joking aside, it has bothered me since day 1 that fans call him Woody.  yes, i am old school, but he should be Coach Woodson if we respect him.  we don't know him personally.  i mean Woody is a cool nickname that his buddies call him, but I just think about someone calling Coach Knight "Monty" or "Ace" or something like that.  just wouldn't be done.

We need to win the tournament to get in. Don’t think there’s any other way. 

we got this!  LOL

trying the optimistic thing after being completely beaten down last night - if we could finish as the 6th seed in the BTT, we could realistically win the first 2 rounds.  obviously that assumes we win Sunday.  while i don't find those 3 things extremely likely, any chance at all that would get us in the tourney?  what if we won 3 rounds?  i know.  i know.  what if pigs could fly?  i am super curious to see if all of this negative buzz with Liam has any impact on our effort Sunday.  they are just young men who obviously hear things that are going on.  do they care?  will it tick them off?  will it bum them out?

Our roster is guna look like last chance U.  Bunch of 27 yr olds with 3 kids n bad knees......huh, maybe X will get that 7th year? 🤔

i saw a tweet about Tijan Jobe's 38th bday.  does he have eligibility left?  it could be reminiscent of Moore, Finkleheimer, Capobianco, Tabor, and co.

If this is our starting lineup, God help us.

don't get me wrong.  as pessimistic as i can be, i know we'll spend the money to get some dudes, but i don't think we can get enough to build a team Woodson can win with!

don't forget that there are rumors that Cupps, Taco, and Reneau will all leave.  

Just now, Inequality said:

Its hard to say with all the different rumors circulating. It could be that Kenya Hunter knows he's out and he is the IU connection to Montverde.

Maybe Woodson is staying and this years results and overall style of play has them realizing they don't want to play for Woodson and could be better utilized by Self while competing for a national title.

I heard in the office several days ago that Woodson was announcing “retirement” just before B1G tourney.

Lots of speculation happening and I don't  have a clue what to believe.

maybe he will site family or health and do the right thing?

I tried telling you all. This isn’t going to be good. Year 1 post Sampson incoming if not worse 

stop!  people don't like when you say negative things!  JK.  i am do devastated right now.  the Woodson announcement was rough, but i was trying to convince myself how excited i was to have Liam.  now this.

Buckner and Woody right now...

this picture and whatever comments go with it always literally make me LOL, so thanks.

i know we'll bring in talent from the portal.  clearly we have the money.  but just for fun... maybe keep a running log of what our current lineup will be next year:

Cupps

Newton

Mtaco

Reneau

Sparks

Hoosier Hysterics saying it was the fan base that made Mcneeley flip. Too toxic of an environment. They’re sharing on their Space 

 

 

don't know if this is a joke or not, but the fan base is toxic due to having an inept coach who is underachieving.
