No you say that didn’t age well when something goes wrong LOL!

I completely agree

Well this aged well 😂😂😂

IMO Indiana just doesn’t have a foot print in St. Louis. We won’t get visits until we establish that.

Also we technically don’t have the spots right now so we may end up over signing for 2022 and then players decide not to leave. As the season goes on we will know more of who wants to stay and go but I mean the coaching staff has only been here 5 months and we are questioning why they haven’t started over signing yet. Also it takes time to develop relationships with this kids. Some teams have been building relationships for years so it’s not just gonna be “ Hey, I’m mike Woodson and I’m a Jeanie in a bottle and I can get you to the nba by rubbing the magic basketball” people got their wish to get rid of CAM for once be patient and let the coaching staff focus on having a successful season.

I could see EJ Liddell in his ear

And sometimes Duke as well.

It was with the old staff and not sure on the new staff but it’s pretty impossible to come into St. Louis and get a guy between Illinois Missouri and SLU - Travis Ford is starting to build something there.

I’ve watched him play multiple times. He’s legit.

Totally agree I can also see kids creating a twitch account and making money off of them streaming playing call of duty, madden, etc. also now on the college basketball games they can now have their name on the back. Etc

I mean that’s how cults work don’t ya know??? 😂😂😂 I mean the brotherhood was on full display at his creepy retirement ceremony. I thought I was watching the beginning of a tv church episode or a dance workout dvd. 😂😂😂

You’re very welcome and I mean I think you’re absolutely spot on with what you said because if what were true above happened then we could ask Mark Cuban to tell al of his sponsors to sponsor our basketball team and they could all even be sponsored by the Dallas Mavericks. I will say I do wish Cuban was more involved in the basketball program in the sense of could you imagine Cuban asking Luka Doncic to come hang out with the kids for a long weekend and he gives him some sort of appearance fee. I mean kids eat that type of stuff up and it’s something I wish Indiana used to it’s advantage more. Or even for CMW asking some former players he coached. Now a days you just have to get creative in your recruiting. I mean think about how nba teams recruit free agents they always have the big boys come with them to the meeting. For Durant when he went to GSW even though it was the off-season curry, Thompson, and green all were at the meeting.

Message me please. Thanks!

You make some very good points and I do agree.

The problem with this is that other schools also utilize this company so they don’t really have an advantage. They need cutting edge ideas on top of working with this firm IMO.

I’d almost wonder if partnering with Mark Cuban if it’s allowed.

So starting July 1st we all know players can jump on the NIL bandwagon. All top programs are gonna realistically be on an even playing field when it comes to this. I have an idea. Wouldn’t it be smart for a school like Indiana to hire a team of people that will get Indiana kids the absolute best NIL opportunities money can buy? In order to have a leg up on the recruiting trail there is no limits when it comes to what Indiana can provide their kids. Ideas? Suggestions?

I mean if I’m a kid I’m faking an official visit to Hawaii 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂

You do know there is this thing called Covid where kids couldn’t visit campus and on top of that it’s literally a New staff. So what you expect kids to not a pick a team who was courting them for years and all of a sudden just pick IU because of Mike Woodson. The transfer portal worked because it was an even playing field and 2023 it’s an even playing field because those recruits are just now being recruited I fully expect for us to be out on any recruits from 2022 that are committing right now. The ones that aren’t committing until spring of next year you MAYBE have an argument. We aren’t going after low hanging fruit and if we were of course we would win the recruiting battle but we are gonna lose WAY more than we win on recruits because Coach Wood is trying to bring this school back to its glory days PERIOD. Go eat some chicken wings and enjoy life.

I thought a man with as many exes as you wouldn’t think about women of his past??? 😂😂😂😂

I also think he can teach Lander soooo much since they are the same kind of player. So I’m looking to see if there becomes a mentorship/friendship from those two.

Besides winning I wanna see some passion and excitement just like we see with IU football. I feel during CAM’s tenure everything was so boring and robotic.

I think you make s lot of great points I think the key will be how long will fife stay as the assistant coach.

I’ll be honest I was skeptical of coach Woodson but he has been impressive. If he has success which I think he will then I could see him retiring here because I don’t think he would leave for greener pastures. So my question is how long does everyone think he could realistically be here for with him being in his early 60s?

You’re very welcome. He also won Guy’s Grocery Games last year.
