Not sure it’s been posted, although pretty well known, but Mason released his top 2 this afternoon. IU and Creighton it is.

Seems like some undue negativity. We get the last visit before an imminent commitment, seems like all we could hope for.

I say this will all the respect in the world...have you seen the recruits that have committed and played at IU under Miller? They are top talent and great recruits. Look no further than the 3 Indiana studs that have not committed to IU since Zeller, Gordon, Recker......Romeo, Trayce, Lander. Those are in three consecutive years. Follow that up with the last few classes of top talent. You are not going to get every recruit. You and I have no real information on hard a recruit is sought after. Just because someone posts something on twitter, it doesn't mean that they are a target or

Peyton Ramsey liked winning at Purdue so much last year, he transferred to Northwestern so he could do it again.

I always wondered how it must feel to complain about a 24 point win on the road in the B1G. Truth be told, it feels really damn good!!! 😜

I was headed to UT/Texas AM to propose during the game... Covid altered that plan.. when I got the news I drove to her house on Tues and did it right then. Still surreal and we are obviously incredibly happy, we announced the news last night on FB.. so I wanted to let you guys know as well... she said YES!

CU is ranked 11 in the country. He wont be "the man" there. Has a better shot at being the man at IU.

I won't start a new thread for each player, but I'll edit this post to add updates as they are developed over the next 10 days. Added a fun wrinkle to these with a projected stat line for each player. Should make for some good discussion: Khristian Lander Trey Galloway Anthony Leal Jordan Geronimo Armaan Franklin Trayce Jackson-Davis Jerome Hunter Rob Phinisee Race Thompson Joey Brunk Al Durham

Oh Lord, you’re entitled to your own opinion, you’re not entitled to your own facts. The Covid “policy” was to downplay it and claim it would just go away. Just stop. But I’ll stop too because I gave you an opening to get into politics again.

Evidently the kid was legit on his thoughts

The “terrible policy” would be at the national level. We literally have a leader who thinks we are “turning the corner,” when it’s clear that cases are increasing at a shocking level. The White House is a f#$cking cesspool of COVID infections and inaction, and there are still - miraculously- people willing to defend our woefully inadequate response. In case people have forgot, we are a nation that historically gets things done. We make shit happen. We put people on the moon and defeat facism across the globe. But now we shrug our shoulders about controlling a pandemic that other countrie

I didn't know Purdue was recruiting him. Weird you guys will finish second on a recruit you aren't recruiting.

He was thinking by early in the 4th quarter we'd be blowing them out, so we'd be able to coast the last 12 minutes.

Yeah I don’t get why people think Creighton isn’t good and he won’t go to the tournament if he goes there...it’s just be the man. We really need to get over this superiority complex we have. We haven’t been to a final four in any of these kids life times and won a NC perhaps in their parents lifetime. Let’s get real. We have a great history but it isn’t nearly as relevant to recruits as we think. Hopefully Archie can do something special to bring us back to relevance.

Man, Archie has been trying so hard to get this kind of stretch forward, who’s an outside threat. Went after Watford in 2019, Garcia in 2020, Kaufman and Miller in 2021. Lost out to LSU, Marquette, and Purdue so far... Would be nice to finally get one of these types of players. Seems like a position Archie wants to prioritize but hasn’t been able to yet. He should be able to beat out Creighton, right?

Scary thought of the week.... If we win Rico might be drunk amd tempted enough to post nudes .😂

Per a source. Miller is down to IU and Creighton. And expect an announcement this coming week.

Zoom calls are being made for 1,2,3,4 classes out. I keep saying this, don't underestimate the new coaches connections. In theory, there is one recruit that IU missed out on this class. The others are a guess game if IU was recruiting them throughout the entire recruitment. Miller got his top target in Lander and Logan is a big time project. Kaufman is the only kid I beleive Miller recruited hard through the entire recruitment. There were signs with him not wanting to play with certain players, etc. Zoom calls are the new normal and they work. I can see Archie killing them.

It’s called Archie needs to be the lead recruiter instead of Ostrom all the time. That’s why we lose out PERIOD.

I feel like the fact that once Kaufman went elsewhere that h the is recruitment sped way up...seems like a good sign just my opinion.

I know we haven’t had a commit in a while and we just lost out on a big target, but I don’t remember IU in this many top 10 and top 5 lists for high ranking recruits in a while. We’re always in the conversation and a good season this year will only help.

Wait, are you seriously claiming the national media treats all mass gatherings equally in how they portray them regarding covid? Come on now. I love you but come on. And its both sides, to be clear.

Honestly if we can get Miller I would be content with a two person class. Assuming we can convince some of our current guys to take advantage of that extra year of eligibility. Especially Brunk and Durham

Releasing his top 8 at 2 EST

I am worried about where we are going. That’s the whole point of why I post on this thread. I am honestly shocked that you have missed that in my replies. First off, neither I or many of the scientists have defended the gathering of the mass gatherings from a COVID stand point. I didn’t and I don’t think it’s wise. Assigning blame to media for not recognizing the risks frequently enough isn’t a green light to do the same. It’s not safe. Period. For one who’s not interested in “assigning blame”, this is a rather hypocritical point you’ve made. But I accept that point because we should lea

When the guy who has questioned the scorekeeping the last few weeks is now in first place, it makes you go hmmmmmmm...

I have a tagline on my email. It's a quote from Henry Ford... "Don't find fault, find a remedy." I try to practice that and believe me, I work in a industry where there's plenty of remedy that needs to be found. You seem obsessed with assessing blame for some reason. I do subscribe to the notion that "those who don't understand history are bound to repeat it" but continually looking to blame doesn't solve anything. It just widens the divide. Understand history, and use the lessons learned... We should have initiated a travel ban right from the start...Oh, wait! We did! And

That's their problem. Luke is the next guy to get a "blue blood" gig if he wants one.

We only play well for 48mins we're going to get our a** kicked 😁

This season kind of reminds me of the 67-68 year when we won the Big 10 and went to the Rose Bowl. I pray we continue our winning ways and make it back to a major bowl game. I wonder how many members were around during that magical time?

We have to win one of these out of state battles sooner than later, right?

I want to play them.

I'll just say this. Short of Notre Dame football and UK hoops fans.....Ohio St football fans are right there in the category of which I despise most. Please for everything that is right in this world give our kids the strength to win this week. Go IU.

Correct. But, the same people/media that are calling for small Thanksgiving gatherings should have been outraged about the large street gatherings all spring and summer. Yet, they never said a word about it. That's my point.

I was too young for the Pack dynasty. But when I was a kid in the 70s the kid’s library had a bunch of books on them. Then as an adult I read Maraniss’ account. Great book. I love the documentaries that pop up on that team too. I am not a Packer fan—although I do have relatives that are—but I really like hearing about that Packer team. And Hornung was great. His relationship with Lombardi was something else. He truly was the golden boy. Great personality. I am over 50 now. We lost Joe Morgan recently. A lot of the figures from my youth, be it sports or elsewhere, are

If we win, I might make a drunken cardboard cutout of myself, and take it swimming , maybe even take it fishing.... in Showalter Fountain. Social distanced, of course. Edit: Not really.. but I'd go cry happy tears so they can enjoy unseasonably warm water for the night.

There ..Fixed it for you 😆

My Family will be respectfully protesting the pilgrims and Native American's first meal together. With a large gathering screaming at a dead bird and all of the food items that go with it. All are welcome to join.

Just going by articles I have read with quotes from players and family. A coach can only sell his program and Archie is doing that but it is up to the players to decide where they want to play. Nobody on here has any ideas what each one of these recruitment has been like and have no idea how Archie has done.

Now you got it right! 😁

Albert Hermstein played for UM from 1899-1902 and was head coach for OSU from 1906-1910. Multiple guys have ties to one of the schools and coached at the other. Most famously, Bo was an OSU assistant under Woody before becoming the UM head coach. It’s happened, but as you say, highly unlikely

Let’s just hope it goes our way

This doesn’t feel right
