He averaged 20 minutes on a top 20 team last year. I’d think so.

I don't think they tried as hard as they could have. At least not compared to this year. I see a huge turn around in their organization and effort this year. Plans. Back-up plans. On-campus visits. It seems like we've at least reached out to more than half of the 'gets' in the portal. Credit to the staff this year for learning from their mis-steps and seemingly turning it around.

Love ya man, but at this point you're trying to argue that elephant dung don't stink. Can you not see the urgency from the staff in the transfer portal this year vs. last year? Woody didn't get any guards and Mgbako fell into his lap. Last year there was room to get a guy BETTER than one who'd accept a 13th spot. So if you want to use Joey Hart as an example, I'll still say yes (to what degree, I don't know). But I'll also say we should've have had 10 prospects better than Joey Hart on the radar. And it's not true we didn't know about Newton until August. Maybe officially, but there was uncertainty in April on whether or not he'd play because the procedure he had is really tough to recover from. Iron sharpens iron. 13 is better than 12.

What can go from an attitude of 'a meaningless spot to just appease the fans', can quickly go to 'oh shit, we don't have as much depth as we though and 3 players are injured'. I'm sure I can dig up posts of people shrugging off that 13 spot last year. There are, what, about 2000 players in the portal? Nobody is talking about walking down to the rec center to find a player. I'm sure there are plenty of worthy players in the portal who can contribute as a valuable teammate, with potential to give minutes. This is still Indiana University, a top 3 program in terms of value. We can get a player. No unwarranted 'gifts' given. No fans being appeased. Just coaches utilizing all the resources given to them.

If coach and player will are on the same page, yes. A player gets a chance to prove himself and make some money in a big time program. The team gets an insurance policy (in case of injuries) and another body in practice to up the competition. i see this as win win.

Why? What about another body in practice. Sure, the attitude needs to fit, but I don’t understand why coaches wouldn’t fill all spots on their roster. Transferring is a 2 way street now. And whether we like to admit it or not, rosters are getting ‘creaned’. A spot for unnamed 24/25 guy is not going to be taken up by 13th guy on a roster. There’s also ample NIL opportunities here outside of collectives. Just imagine how Priller would’ve cleaned up in tshirt revenue. Hell, I’d buy a ‘Priller the Thriller’ right now if it was available.

Trying to temper my expectations, but i think Goode is that piece we need. in only 20 mpg he made 61 total 3's last season. in comparison: That's 11 more than our best 3pt shooter, MM, who averaged 27 mpg. That's 35 more than out second best 3 pt shooter, Gallo, who averaged 33 mpg. That is the perfect, highly efficient offensive spark plug we need off the bench.

wow. this channel is on top of it. Uploaded 12 minutes ago.

I personally would want a player who is proven in conference. Goode had a 126.3 offensive rating last season.

Don’t EVEN play. Talk about a perfect get.

Like others have said, I’m guessing it’s a combo of him being a Freshman and being on a bad team. I don’t disagree on the upside that he has and am glad to get him as a sophomore. However, I think some are projecting his impact next year to be a little greater than it will be. For fun, Tony Adragna created a minutes projection on his portal page for fans to fill out. Yesterday he had people share their minutes projections on twitter and many had KC between 25-30 minutes per game. Many are slotting in him into the starting line up too. He averaged 25 minutes on a pretty crappy Stanford team last year. IF he truly is capable of getting those minutes and making that big of an impact, then that is a great problem to have. I’m no professional scout, but after watching a few clips (that aren’t highlight films) he does not play great defense and the TO numbers aren’t great. Again, nothing he can’t clean up in his college career, but Woody has a short leash when it comes to defense and turnovers. Overall, good get. Great upside. Keep expectations in check. We still need another shooter or 2.

FTR, I'm not saying it's impossible. But there's depth and there's 'stupid depth'. You need 'stupid depth' to get close to a platoon substitution in CBB. On top of that you'll need to avoid injuries....so that stupid depth is more like 11-12 deep. And selling that in today's climate of transfers, NIL and the desire for playing time is a tough task. Maybe I'll be proven wrong though.

That's one team.....good example. I say this, more-so because the stars need to align to make this happen. One injury and everything is shot to hell. And there is a difference between a steady induction of fresh players getting rotated in over time vs 4-5 new players getting subbed in with in a a 2 minute window, which is more reminiscent to what you'd see in the NBA and is what Woody seemingly would like to do.

We've heard this one before..... I don't buy it. How many teams in recent years have legitimately played 10 deep? I do think Woody will keep trying though.

The 'Human IUD' BLOCKING SHOTS!!! ....maybe I gotta work on that nickname. sorry, it's Friday.

so, he can just put his arms up in the air? haha

How is he defensively? Is he a threat to block/alter shots? I know nothing about this dude.

I might've been at that show! Saw Victor at the Bird and Axis (or whatever it's name was at the time). Him and his brother Reggie put on the best shows - jaw on the floor type of musicianship. Probably saw them another 2 or 3 times after college.

The article lead off with divisive political decisions as a reason for the vote of no confidence. However, buried in the middle..... The reasons for no-confidence votes vary from institution to institution. The most common scenario behind such votes recently has been faculty displeasure with large-scale academic restructuring and budget reductions directed by presidents, provosts and boards of trustees. Seems about right in this news climate. Get people hyped up on political emotions and then drop a seemingly important footnote later in the article.

I think you're twisting yourselves into knots over a feeling. What we 'feel' is right, wrong, too much or not enough does not correlate into what reality is. You have the right to complain about it, but at the end of the day it's irrelevant. College athletic departments make a LOT of money. Good coaches and good players are in high demand because a winning product is lucrative for the athletic departments, the tv channels and the advertisers.. Thus, a percentage of this outrageously high revenue is paid to coaches and players. And rightfully so, I mean, they are the product everybody pays to see. And even on top of all that, college basketball and football fund pretty much all other sports at their universities, giving athletes in other sports more opportunities. We - all the fanatics on this board - are a reason why the revenue is so high. If you 'feel' that there's too much money in college athletics then stop giving them money with your viewership. It's all about supply and demand.

I sometimes wonder at the root of everything is generational envy. "This young generation has it easy." "The younger generation is all about money." "The younger generation has no loyalty." etc. I didn't get to play with a 3 point line, why can they? I couldn't earn money playing college sports, why can they? Boomers received similar criticism when they were young and now dish it. Same thing with Generation X. Same thing is starting with Millennials. We're all guilty. I think it's just a societal thing that will never change. I'm sure that in the Paleolithic period cavemen were complaining their kids had it so easy because the wheel was invented. Change happens. We adapt. It becomes the norm. In the words of Jeff Tweedy: And that's not wrong or right But you can struggle with it all you like You'll only get uptight ✌️ ...and that's my philosophical thought for the day.

Did he visit? Or did the staff go to his house because he lives in Bloomington? Either way, he went elsewhere.

It’s not rocket science and it’s not some devious conspiracy. Just show him the stat sheet. He knows Ballo is coming in, thus the ball will be going into the post a lot. He knows he’d be sharing what’s left of those attempts with Mgbako. He’s at the top of my wish list, but that’s all it is at this point: a wish. This is just the way Woody plays. I’m sure they want the high volume/high percentage 3 point shooters many of us crave, but based on history and how our line up is shaping up, it’s going to be a hard sell. And it will continue to be a hard sell.
