FKIM01 Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 6 minutes ago, Jackson Kellogs said: I could care less if he comes or not and you’re right this isn’t the biggest thing going on in my life. Just tired of people putting out fake info and cryptic tweets like kids are going to commit. Tired of fans getting their hopes up for recruits. We will never succeed at the highest level in this new era of college basketball until we simply start winning significantly year in and year out. The recruiting won’t get better until we win big time. We’re irrelevant compared to these other schools, which also have a lot more money than we do as well. 3 minutes ago, Jackson Kellogs said: Woodson had this chance to win big this year and he didn’t meet expectations. If we would have won the B10 like we were projected with a week B10.. and made a farther run in the tourney than we would be landing these kids. We’re still mediocre at best as a program compared to these up and coming schools. Don’t get wrong I want to land some of these high profile recruits and I’m sure our coaching staff is doing all that they can, but I have no reason to be optimistic. I have no idea how we become more competitive against these other schools. It's year two in the Woodson Era. Each year a progression over the previous year. It's very early in the portal season. Last July, Kansas State had two scholarship players. Why are you jumping off the ledge now? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have issue with guys coming here saying great news for the Hoosier, just wait and see. Put out what you know or just shut up. Its simple.

Also thought we would make the sweet 16. So this year wasn't to far off. We also played without our second best player for majority of the year. Maybe your expectations were a tad high 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) I don't know if we will get Ware or not. What I do know is it's a swing and miss from the staff if we don't land him. There is no "we didn't want him anyway" or "he wanted to take too many shots" or "his motor isn't good enough," excuse to try and make the miss feel better or to pretend we didn't strike out on this recruit. It would be a complete swing and strike out. Let's hope for the alternative. Typically you need a big piece to commit first to get the dominos falling. Ware is the piece.

It’s over fellas.. might as well kiss this one goodbye.. and whoever is putting out those cryptic tweets needs to shut the hell up. You pretty much sum up my post from two days ago This is how I see the next two days playing out. All of us are going to be projecting lineups thinking all 3 of these guys will commit the next few days. Then two hours after the OV are over we all panic when no verbals are announced.

Hoosierfan1215 Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 The ups and downs of this thread is why I don’t check it all the time. Lol. We went from best recruiters, closers, great lineup to we are gonna suck and not get anyone. And truth is probably somewhere in between. Lol. Ill tune in next week for “ As the Indiana transfer situation turns” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) So, since NIL has become a discussion point here, I'll ask. Not too long ago, it sounded as if we were flush with NIL opportunities. Now, the narrative is we can't compete. Which the hell is it? And, don't answer if you don't actually know something. Let's keep some level of factual information in any response to the question. Edited April 7, 2023 by 5fouls 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about football now. That's what all of this conference expansion and TV deals are about. It's why the ACC is getting killed and why teams like Florida State and Clemson want out. The problem is their TV deal is like 13 more years. The Big Ten is a couple of years away from coming to North Carolina one last time and saying 'are you going to save yourself and join us or are you going to die clutching a basketball?

It’s over fellas.. might as well kiss this one goodbye.. and whoever is putting out those cryptic tweets needs to shut the hell up. Let's assume for a minute that Bama does have more money. While it would likely go towards football, I'll play along with the idea that Oats has a bigger check in hand than Woody. Here's what I say if I'm Woodson. "Son, those other guys may give you a little more money now, but I know what it takes to make it in the NBA, and if you come to IU, your long term earnings potential is higher." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There.is no reason to start attacking people. It happens here every recruiting cycle. People share and people tell them shut up.
