didn't he leave for Butler AD?

I should leave this to the people that know, but i am bored at work and can't mind my own business. 

He left to be the Butler HC

@RoadToZion @DC2345 wasn't there also issues Fife was creating with recruits....? For some reason i thought i recalled something with filipowski or something. 

I just thought there were a bunch of things, not one of those things individually being a see yuh later, but adding up of all the things?

Yes, with Filipowski about NIL but it was exaggerated to fit a narrative.

I know. I got that one wrong to start with because of the info about NIL and Woodson's offense that was being floated. I don't see Blackmon as a fit for Woodson and I'm not sure there is interest at this point with the other guards they are targeting.

Is he a replacement for Mac if he gets good NBA feedback (or transfers) or Woody simply looking to build the best/deepest roster possible?

 

Maybe but I don't think things are set in stone yet as to what the starting lineup would look like. 

I don't think Blackmon will be an IU target as things stand currently.

We cant talk politics here but Dane was "let go" for his political views. What a sad world we live in.  Now look at our program. A disaster. 

That was part of it. They also just flat didn't get along about a lot of stuff.

I also saw an article about ND recruiting Harrelson and it mentioned that ON3 said IU was the leader for Harrelson. That was the first I have heard anyone say that.

I'm not sure that's the case but they are in a good spot. Landing the others would help with Harrelson so they're all connected.

Why do people act as if Fife is some kind of genius. I always thought he was basically an a$$.

Fife was the smartest basketball mind on the staff at the time. He was pushed out because him and Woodson didn't get along at all and that's putting it mildly. Thad wasn't pushed out. He worked for Dolson and not Woodson.

I feel like Perkins will visit with the Rabjohns mention and all. 

I expect that to happen as well.

How about some Guards!

Well there's 2 visiting this weekend and Monday. 

Things seem to be going well on the visit. I'm sure Woodson is selling him on how he can use him in isolation actions which is where he's at his best.

That's the part I'm saying isn't accurate. The Woodson pitch part of it? Not sure. Makes sense considering they're all going to be teammates on Indiana Elite.

The Woodson pitch is almost certainly accurate. I do know things moved in a positive direction for IU after their most recent visit were Sisley and Mullins went together.  Woodson reiterated that they were priority recruits moving forward and I'm sure he pitched them the opportunity of playing together. I also know what NIL amount Mullins was supposedly offered but I'm not sure about the others.

I am very confident in saying that rumor is not true. The whole "if Sisley's in the other two are in" that is. That is made up.

I can say with certainty there is a certain level of validity to it. The Sisley part is the part that isn't accurate based on what I've heard. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being a Hoosier fairly soon

he apparently has the goods on Mullins

Rumor has it Woodson is pitching a big 3 in the 2025 class of Moreno, Mullins, and Sisley. All 3 AAU teammates. Sisley is the one holding things up. If he’s in then the other 2 are in. Woodson went all in on these 3 after the McNeeley debacle.

Also, there are different types of athleticism.  I’d call Geronimo a straight line athlete.  Can run and jump.  But this young man is far more agile.  It’s a totally different type of athlete when you look at them laterally.  Some of those drives through the lane, no way could Geronimo do that.  

100% 

For context there are some differences between this kid and JG. Blazi is 6’8 with a 7’2 wingspan. He’s also a possible redshirt candidate if thing workout right. I personally think he’s worth the risk as the 13th guy on the roster for a year.

So Trilly just didn't know 

He always gets his info from someplace. He doesn’t just know everything

Nice lol Trilly can eff off

I believe the info was coming from someone relatively close but Hickman himself didn’t agree 

2 minutes ago, btownqb said:

Why? 

Multiple reasons but not because of a lack of IU interest. I'm not sure IU will pay him what he wants and I'm not sure he likes Woodson's offense. Trilly has heard similar stuff too so we will see.

I can't imagine him not being an IU fan. 

I am also pretty sure he was an Indiana Elite kid. FWIW-- I would also assume Cinci is in play here. 

I don't think Hickman will end up at IU 

That's the rumor that I was hinting at fwiw
