I was stupid enough to say 'Hey maybe Woodson's recruiting chops will be incredible with his strong NBA connections'.I know many were super high on archie but I was never really that high on the hire. And when they leaked the woodson hire I thought it was an april fools joke.
Durp...
Although I did see it as a swing for the fences on recruiting, with strikeout likely. And was mad we still had the stupid 'Indiana/Bob Knight guy' mentality. Needed 'Indiana guy' mentality in throwing a bag at Dusty May I guess. But somebody was in the seat.
I think alot of people did that especially after seeing how Juwuan Howard had done the year before. But NBA guys never ever make it in the college ranks they always flameout. Howard ending up flamming out and so did Woodson. That is why to me the hire never made any sense at all I guess it was just one buddy taking care of another buddy. And what stinks is even when you can see in year one the hire is never going to make it we are still stuck with them for four years regardless.
