Coach Robby

Sorry, been busy wondering what a JHS and TB backcourt next season will look like....man. 

Can't wait for this season. We looked pretty solid in the Bahamas. No Durr, Leal or Duncomb either. I'm 39, and this is the most excited I have ever been in the offseason...

Ok, just a gut feeling here...one of those teams (us) isn´t like the others in regards to having an entire new system being established. I know Beard is new at Texas, but he´s obviously prominent. If we can get into season, and JHS likes what he sees out of our guard play and development, I think heś ours to lose.

Edit: Anybody have a timetable for this commitment?

I know this is joeys topic, Sam Orme is one I really want in 2023….will blow up

...and Tae Kwon Do!

The first person that bitches this season about CMW gets this gal 1-1 for 3 minutes. Save this post please mods 😂 

Not sure how long I’ll be alive to see it, but the Kelley business could make multiple livings off of this. Any potential 4-5 star recruit should enter this program.

all these guys in general..are they really what they say or is it a teen angst ordeal...I always had a few young Marines every year with broke wrist, (radial heads) mostly fighting or punching something not meant to be punched...😉 

I gotcha. I’m 99% certain it was witnessed by multiple people. A freak accident, not in anger in any way

Are the injuries from punching items like lockers, etc?

Which injury? CJ? He fell on it trying to brace a fall. 

Me and a buddy are playing at the Pfau course at 1030 tomorrow. Been a long time since I’ve been on campus (Marquette game romeos only year). Anybody got the hook up to tour anything? Or meet? I know it’s busy and summer and what not, just thought I’d throw it out there!

Hey all-

 Have not posted for awhile, but I think NIL is going to be huge for Indiana and recruiting. Indiana is not going to pass a State law covering NIL, so they will not have to follow State rules. IU and Wisconsin are the only ones who will not be following State law. I don't how much advantage if any this will be, but Indiana has been really blazing there own path.

Indiana was the first school in the country to have a task force related to NIL. They have an incredible system set up and ready to go which will have the Kelly School of Business supporting it, and of course Opendorse, to tailor content for each athlete and choose a plan for each athlete. The Indiana Daily Student wrote a piece on NIL which is really informative on just how far ahead of the NIL game IU is, and as they say, they are doing it for selfish reasons: Recruiting! Remember, IU's fan base is huge and in every State!

Whether it’s quality info or opinions, you always deliver!

That’s a kid who knew what he was heading into when he visited. Aware of the situation, so to speak. I like that a lot.

The top 3 on that list - Banks, Clowney, and Schifino - would be an amazing class to see come and join Gunn. 

Bingo. Feel like we have 3 realistic shots as well.

I really like this kid....more of a combo guard then simply a pure pg. I think would be an excellent fit for our backcourt....can play on ball or off depending on who else we have at the point. Be nice to have him playing next to Lander and possibly Fears in 23. Be a great addition.

Can you imagine him with TB in the backcourt?!?! 🔥 

We’re recruiting a whole different level in my opinion. That video I watched where someone commented 2:20 in other thread…believe the kids now call that “drip”. 
 

IU and CMW are attractive to a whole different breed, as well as the regular in-state kids. Woody ain’t here at age 63 to make the tournament consistently. He wants number 6.

I’m interested to see the jump TJD takes from working with the new staff, specifically in the areas Woody told him he needed to improve in.  There really is no wrong answer here though. 

Spot on. Imagine if TJD can hit mid range jumpers and go right? 26 ppg isn’t out of the question. Big year for him I think. Like National POY potential.

It is going to be interesting to see how Gibbs-Lawhorn comes back from injury, because he is right there in that 5-star McDonalds All-American range too.

Absolutely agree. I think we have a much better shot at fears than G-L. Just my opinion

Sounds like Woodson's staff is doing a really nice job with recruits.

Interesting that this is the first time I've really heard a recruits family comment on the living quarters.  That's always something you hear with a place like Kentucky but it's nice to hear that IU put on a favorable impression.  I assume where the players live is pretty new?

Imagine the package the coaching staff can put together. Hi I’m mike Woodson. Legend here, played in nba, know what it takes to get there, and stay there. 
 

oh that guy? That’s just Thad Matta. Oh the new player development guy? Spent 15 years in the league. Dane fife? 2002 guy. Izzo guy. Indiana guy down deep.  Kenya and yasir? Deep roots all over country. 

the attraction is back. There’s no way this could have gone better in woodys first 2-3 months. No way. 

He’s the best pg we’ve offered since yogi 

I know we got Romeo and TJD...but this recruiting process is entirely different in my eyes. I guess CMW is going after players that CAM had no shot at. I know a couple offers stayed and CJ stayed committed (thank God). Woodys NBA background is attractive, not only to high school kids, but to 38 year old fans like me who are seeing what college hoops is becoming.

Agree. He’s had some very positive things to say.  See, e.g., Mike’s great article in The Daily Hoosier.   I’ve seen him described as a combo guard but I could totally see Woody working him as a point guard a lot.  Woody likes a point guard with some length and Jalen Hood-Schifino might make a lot of sense.  I’m not putting Jason Kidd on him, but his frame and the way he gets in the lane is reminiscent of him.  Recruiting is looking up, big time.  

Isn’t it amazing the kids we’ve offered thus far? I feel like we really have a chance with every one of them. 

Honestly, I hope he’s mentally okay. Financials are one thing, but we all have a soul. His took an unfortunate beating the past 4 years.  Glad a change was made, hope CAM is doing well.

Indiana is gonna recruit him hard. Do you think he has genuine interest in IU?

Today’s recruits are NBA driven. Have to think Woodys nba expertise is attractive to a stretch 4. Actually excited about recruiting again!
