Artesian_86 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Again, I'm not worried at all about Woodson and Co.'s recruiting. Win and they will come. I'm so excited about the team the year! Honestly.....If we actually end up being as good as anticipated this year,....... Recruiting guys like him will get a whole lot easier and EXCITING!

IU Scott Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 What does UC have to offer these kids. It is not on a good part of the city and the arena is not very nice. I wouldn't think they would have the same kind of NIL money that we would have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbranhamuc Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 That's a pretty odd take. I would argue UC and the city of Cincinnati has 10x more to offer to a college kid than Bloomington Indiana. Cincys population is north of 300,000, Bloomington is around 85k. And IU may not think about UC much, but I assure you, we don't think about IU at all-neither program has won anything in what seems like forever-but hey, keep trying in football! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a Reds fan and been to Cincinnati many times and the city is not impressive at all. Well IU basketball has won 3 championships since UC last won one. IU is rated one of the most beautiful college campus in the country and UC is in a bad part of a city Edited October 6, 2022 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone cares about the population of the city, you go to college to hang out with college kids, not hang out with adults who live in the city. Unless that’s different at Cincinnati I guess? I think Bloomington is a vastly superior college town than Cincinnati is. Not to mention Indiana as a brand is pretty far above Cincinnati regardless of what you want to argue. But if this kid wants to follow an important figure in his life wherever he goes, good for him. I think most people knew he’d follow him wherever he went. Edited October 5, 2022 by IndyHoosier22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I am wondering about why Page and Collier would go to UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when I was choosing a college that the look of the campus had zero influence on my decision. It might matter to some, but I doubt it is a major factor of very many recruits. Relationships, money, playing style, playing time, etc. are probably much more important. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for when you need a new assistant coach or a transfer point guard. Or a place to recruit. But other than that, never. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other schools could have a chance but UC could very well land him because of their hire of Drew Adams. That said IU feels like they have a chance and they want to take a shot at it.

Drew Adams is the Associate AD for Basketball at UC. He has never coached Bidunga. Mark Adams which is his father runs Indiana Elite but doesn't coach him either and helped get Bidunga to the US. He also will push kids to certain schools from time to time and that is where the rumors of Bidunga to UC come from.

Cheaney40 Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 I've lived in Cincy for a long time. No need to mud sling the town guys. It's a great town and not too big of a city. Bottom line is some kids prefer more of an urban style campus vs a college town feel. I've had a kid choose one of each. Exactly for that reason. IU is clearly the better basketball tradition, but UC is also rich in history. Both are in history though...unfortunately. Bloomington isn't for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
