I like our chances here, especially if Liam is coming off a commitment from the week before If it gets that far. I could see the kid saying enough already and committing sooner. How many coaches visits do recruits usually put up with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely that's the signal being sent...show me love. Woodson will send an equally strong signal by either visiting...or not. I think UK would literally be the worst place for this kid to land, which probably means that's where he goes. I wonder how many broken dreams have to come out of Lexington for the shine to wear off... Edited October 2, 2023 by FKIM01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Woodson would’ve went full court press from beginning it would be done already IMO! Each recruit is different and if this wasn’t known about Boogie then that’s on our staff for not figuring that out. Now Kentucky and Alabama have same chance to put full court press on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Ehh.. I'm not into begging them, and I don't think Woody will be either. Show them your pitch, execute the visit's small details, be good people, treat the kid/family the right way.... and hope you've done enough. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @DC2345. People were worried when Self visited Liam only to see that Woody went there later. I'm sure he will visit Boogie if / when needed. Don't forget his coaching clinic. I doubt the other coaches did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Woody putting in extra effort on a recruit is begging anyone. Everyone says they want big time recruits well this recruit is telling you what he prefers and if IU truly wants him then this is what needs to be done.

I don't think we need to worry about Woodson and staff putting in extra work, truthfully.

If he needs to do so. Or he can tell Boogie to flip his TV on Oct 24th and watch JHS making shots and dishing to Lebron and AD. 1 year is what Woody did for JHS. Same can be done for Boogie. If the kid chooses elsewhere so be it but we don't need to be begging. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I’m not saying they aren’t putting in extra effort at all because they have a system clearly and it typically works. All I’m saying is every recruit is different. This recruit just so happened to make a comment that he wants to feel extra love and his comments seem to make it seem like that hasn’t happened necessarily. But I absolutely agree with your points 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint was they are typically very good at recruiting and should have known Boogie wanted to feel the love from head coach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m like 95% certain Cal and Oats spoke at the same clinic and conducted in-home visits just like Woody did. Fingers crossed we go at least 3 deep soon and show him we care more. It’s do or die time for us and those are 2 really tough schools to go up against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the desire to "feel the love", but if that's what it takes, maybe the fit isn't right. Maybe Woody feels he needs that time to prepare his current team for the season. I'm OK with that.

Not you specifically, but I think some fans are reading too much into a few quotes. The kid said publicly what every recruit is saying: I know this relationship is for real when the head honcho is involved. Boogie didn't say anything like no other coaches should visit me or the head coach should be here every other week in person. He wants the decision maker involved--as it should be and as Woody is. People should know that Woody is involved with Boogie, Liam and other priority targets to the degree that all involved are happy with. Also, people should know this isn't a diva move by Boogie, Liam and others. These recruits are ultimately putting their career in Woodson's hands. They aren't asking for anything more than what all the other kids are asking. Finally, kids should feel empowered to ask for the entire staff's involvement. This is their life. Get to know all of the people you are placing trust in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
