FKIM01 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well I don't like it but they didn't ask me. Even if his nephew ends up at IU, I still won't like it. I'll say no more on the subject but that would be the first thing CMW has done that I didn't like. Here's hoping it works out...whoever he hires.

CMW isn’t going to hire someone who is a scumbag and would do damage to IU; he cares too much. Don’t think Matta would sign off on either. Fact is, one can assume the guy is an incompetent cheet, but you don’t know. That’s one problem today, everybody rushes to a judgement based on squat.

Did you even read the posted article about his activity in the sting? I wouldn't refer to that testimony as "squat". Again, I hope it works out but don't tell me to not be concerned based on the testimony that's already out there in the public domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Concerning but the reality is that what was uncovered a few years ago is far more widespread then the schools that were caught. I have zero doubt that many of the assistants, coaches, and players who we have wanted over the past month have been involved in this stuff to some degree. I trust Woodson, a Bob Knight disciple, to run a clean program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Coach Knight had a couple of assistants that had problems with the NCAA in previous jobs as well. I just hope this guy is not going to do anything wrong when he is here and that we monitor him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 All the handwringing over this hire is ridiculous. Mike Woodson is an NBA guy who clearly understands the reality of how college basketball recruiting works. It looks like IU might finally be ready to start acting like a big time program.

The game has changed, time to change along with it if there's any hope of this program contending and not being just another footnote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Saw this shared on BTB and had to pass it on. Really, it’s a great watch. Not only is a it a chance to see Yasir talk about recruiting - it’s interesting to learn about some of the recruiting aspects. Based on the conversation, it doesn’t seem like many staffs are simply ‘telling kids what they want to hear’ - I think that’s a narrative fans build up to to detract blame for when their school doesn’t land a recruit.

He played in college, professionally and has 13+ years of college experience.....and if he can deliver some recruits I'm down. I don't see the problem I guess.

I'll take the final assistant position as a guy who can deliver recruits, improve players...and deliver more recruits. Anyone in the Big 10 have a problem with how Orlando A delivered Kofi and Curbelo for the Illini? I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they’re actually related — the kid just calls him “uncle,” apparently. And the holier than thou crowd is up in arms because the FBI got Rosemond on tape telling Christian Dawkins he’d do whatever it took to get recruits. But apparently, Dawkins and his crew didn’t give Rosemond any cash because he didn’t have any connections worth paying for at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Idk much about qualifications for a 3rd assistant but he seems to be a likeable guy and specializes in guard play which we definitely need. If he has a way to bring not a top ten, but a consensus top 5 national recruit with him, I will not complain whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthomas Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 I think Michigan with Howard and now IU with CMW is recognizing the future of college basketball. The NBA is where the kids we need want to go. They want coaches who can get them there. Capital's entire pitch is that. I don't like it, but that is reality in today's game. We all want IU to be relevant. This is how to get there. TJD would not have returned if if that was not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
