Sure do

I know defense isn't valued much by you...

I'd have lit you up in Church League 😉

And he missed games at the beginning of the year and a couple more during the season I bet if he was totally healthy he would have started the majority of the game. Another thing Duke had 4 other 5 star players in the starting lineup where we don't especially.on.tne wing.

Hence my comment that at a program like Duke or Kansas, where you have multiple guys with similar pedigrees, then you’re gonna compete for your minutes 

[Jackson Kellogs]

Lets just chill for a bit and not talk about who’s starting and minutes and all that BS. Kid hasn’t even committed yet. Sure as hell want him though and he will start without a doubt from day one! Solely on the fact that he’s far better than a majority of our players right now.

IMO, you tell 4-star prospect that he’s going to get a chance to compete for minutes. He is going to have a chance to prove himself v others who have similar or possibly higher expectations, and if he outperforms, he plays.

Different message for a 5star, especially the #8 rated recruit in the country. You are winning him by describing his role, what you are going to do to feature him, how you are going to build around him.

There is no way CMW will get this guy by convincing him that he will compete to start. We do not have the recent success a Kansas has to show him. We don’t have the all around level of talent that Kansas has, where it would be more conceivable that he’d have to compete for minutes—v equally skilled teammates. 
 

If CMW gets MM it will be huge, but he’ll be here starting from minute one 

If he is scared to compete against Kaleb Banks then we don’t want him.

Hay-sus or G-sus? 🙂

True story we had a vendor tech helping get things started. My boss was supposed to pick him up but was running late. He told his hands free to call Hay-sus, no matter how much he tried the call was never connected. When he finally picked up Hay-sus he explained the situation. Hay-sus told him that with hands free you need to say G-sus!

I'm still confused though how this relates to Woodson or Mgbako? If he comes to IU, unless something goes really wrong he's going to start. 

Are we saying he will not have earned that? Did JHS earn it or not?

It is splitting hairs.  Everyone should have to earn their spot.

5 stars like mgbako will most likely earn their spot.

I would say JHS earned his spot.

I learned decades ago that the absolute worst arguments are when people are essentially arguing the same thing but from opposite ends! Some people need to try switching ends every once in awhile.

You have might of put up 20 on me but I would put 30 on you.

I was the Gary Payton of The Church of the Nazarene... No way... They called me "The Mitten."

So they both should say that ; "He'll need to earn being sent to the bench"? 

That what you mean?

The greeter at our church would sometimes introduce himself as Ernie DiGregorio. I was the only one that got it.

No, you misheard them.  They were saying, "The Kitten".

You have broken @MoyeCowbell's commandment #3. Say 30 "Mike Woodsons" and eat at a Rick Pitino style Italian restaurant and your HSN sins shall be forgiven.

Thank God you only said eat at a Rick Pitino style Italian restaurant.

I'm not sure there is anything to discuss until someone commits to IU. The kids already on the team want to play too. If I were them, I'd be working my ass off to make sure I was better than whoever was being added to the team. If they aren't, then it's on them if someone takes their spot. I think everyone who has ever played team sports knows that is how it works.

That wasn't the question... If he was terrible, do you think Woody would have played him as much? 

Yes.
