No, discussion about the IU targets was fine , but along the way it became more than that. I probably should have started by doing what he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose to be 60s-70s all weekend in Bloomington... get him to a baseball game, I'm sure there will be some scenery there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BGleas Posted April 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Sorry, my mistake. I tried to merge the thread Hoosier30 made and move it over the thread on the recruiting board and completely screwed it up. Need a little help from @bluegrassIU @Inequality or another mod to see if we can undo this! They didn't cover "thread merging" in the mod training handbook 🤣 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spe317 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Listen, I’m trying not to panic but we haven’t won a game in over 2 weeks. Last year we went more than 6 months. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawatchHoosier Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Ledlum has scheduled visits to Indiana and Tennessee. What's Tennessee offering that we don't have? Also, how would Woody use him in his new system? 6'6", not great 3 point percentage, true shooting percentage of 54% last season, excellent rebounder, feel like he would fit in well if we were playing a small ball.

Tennessee is offering nothing that we don't. Is he 100% confirmed he's visiting UT? Or was that just floated that he'd like to? Tennessee is still a very good option for Ledlum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t be signing players just to fill a roster!!! I mean is the coaching carousel even over? Edited April 4, 2023 by Drroogh 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid we nabbed would have been like offering me a scholarship when I was 19 or 20. "Hey IUCrazy2, this is Bob Knight" "Yes." "Yes what son?" "To whatever you are about to ask me coach." I get the impression that Sparks just got his dream offer. We didn't have to have that guy visit, he was ours the minute Woody said, "Hey son, how would you like to pla-" "Yes, yes, yes, yes." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard from people who know him personally who I work with, there was more to it than that, unless they are feeding me stuff that wasn’t true.
