Lol he has a looooong way to go before being Lovie Smith bad. I mean Lovie Smith was ALMOST John Groce bad….
He's exactly Lovie Smith in that he has no real grasp on the dynamics of college recruiting. At least he has some competent ACs, but navigating the recruiting scene is extremely important, and it matters a lot in a setting like Indiana. I'm sure he's a better in-game coach than Lovie because who isn't?
If Mike Woodson is going to grow a sweet gray beard, I fully support him in that endeavor
There are Indiana posters that think he’s playing 4-D chess and just trying to fvck with Purdue. Lmao
He has great ACs and Thad Matta. He’s already landed a 5*, so it’s not like he can’t recruit.
Thad Matta, Dane Fife, and Kenya Hunter don’t know what they are doing when it comes to recruiting? LOL
Idk, I said Woodson didn’t. They had laid out a clear plan for how the process was going to work and need to visit first to get an offer (like Beilein used to always do) and then Woodson really liked what he saw from Colvin in person and threw out an offer that apparently pissed some others off since that went against what they staff had been saying all along.
Yep the national guys at 247 said he was going have to play better to maintain his lofty ranking. He’s still wearing that massive knee brace. Msu and um coaches clearly have tarris reed above him on their boards.
With the next ratings adjustment I expect Reed to be ahead of Rodgers.
Give me another year before I put Howard in there, but he’s trending in that direction with Painter and Izzo.
Lol Woodson has already landed as many 5* recruits as Painter has in his 17 years. Recruiting will never be an issue at IU. It remains to be seen whether or not he has the in game coaching skill set for this level though.
Apparently he did, but I never saw it. Luckily the Purdue fans monitor our board more closely than we do.
Doesn't matter. Rest are trash.
I agree. So why are Purdue posters trying to say Woodson is a poor recruiter?
Turg and the rut coach, rest can be put in a bucket and pulled.
I'm less concerned about bringing in highly ranked players and more concerned with implementing a system bringing in highly ranked players who can thrive in said system.
Why does Howard get bumped into tier one but Underwood and Holtman only have cases? This is a media perception issue.
So what's the big deal with that? I honestly have no idea what's going on. I quit bothering with recruiting and premium boards they became awful and pointless fodder.
Has he? His first 2 years he took Bo Ryan rosters to the S16 and then nothing. Highest seed in the tournament has been a 4 and he lost round 1.
It’s a small blip in a class that hasn’t even entered their Junior year yet. There is literally two recruits put off by it. Offering Colvin was a mistake on many fronts, but it really isn’t that big of a deal.
I said he’s trending there but some longevity would lock him in there with Izzo and Painter.
