hmm almost like someone might have predicted this

Ya and who else?

Right? Not all of these $500k+ players are going to equate to team success. Sunk-cost fallacy will come into play at some point. What happened to all the posts about these kinds of deals already happening behind closed doors pre-NIL?

There's even a solid argument that it's the more ethical route on top of all that.

What is he lacking in now, outside of strength? Asking because I've only seen highlights, but based off that I don't understand the discrepancy between his and Bates rankings

Anyone know the deal on Gunn's ranking? I've only seen highlights, but dude looks like a stud and his frame and athleticism scream potential

I'm not really the person to ask about comparisons. From what I've seen no comparisons come to mind. I don't think McRoberts or Evans had the guard skills that Sisely has at his age. His skills are a lot more modern.

Neither based off what I've seen

Hoping Matta shares some insight too. Good thing Woodson's shown he listens to his assistants.

Wondering about Fife's impact on this game and what he can bring to the table with his experience against UW. Anyone remember how MSU has played at UW in Fife's time there?

I really wonder about the criticism towards Lander in this topic. Dude is essentially a still a freshmen. I'd bet Tamar received comparable or a little less development at IMG last year than Lander got under Archie. Not a Lander fan boy, just don't understand why some people think its so necessary to address his shortcomings. I love Geronimo but he was mud on Sunday, why don't we have a 4 page thread criticizing all his shortcomings? Lander showed significant improvement from last year, no doubt. Does he still have room to grow? Absolutely. Can we be happy with the game-to-game progress we see in young players under a 1st year coach 4 games into the season? I hope so.

Love all of this. Not super worried about the shortcomings we showed in this game yet. Feels like you're seeing the progress/learning happening in real time.

Where the Lander haters at!!!

It's incredible. Feels like its our payment for dealing with so much heartbreak and losing from the past. Honestly makes it all worth it in my book.

Quality write up. Thanks

Just went through his story and my gut says the positive IU stuff is damage control. Hope I'm wrong.

Realized that right as I clicked submit. Can I change it?

He's gotta be next

Wtf were we thinking!!!

No one can predict the future so I respect the caution. At the same time, we were close in a lot of those loses this year, as Trayce touched on in his press conference. The difference between 12-15 and 15-12 (or better) came down to a couple buckets here and some better execution there. That combined with the everything Woodson has done in one week has made me the most optimistic for IUBB I've been since 2012-13.

Who on the table do you think are easily replaceable?

Let's hope part of Matta's role is addressing things like that if they come up.

I'm amped about this. He was on staff with Michael Lewis at Nebraska, right? Gotta think that can improve our chances at reeling him in from UCLA.

Didn't he already do that with some assistants last year with his bowl bonus?
