And yet there are MSU, Michigan, and Wisconsin nearly every damn year.

Maybe, but we have to start winning more games. I don't think any of us want to be Kentucky but I think most of us believe Indiana's place is near the top of the Big 10 every year. I also think most college basketball insiders would agree.

I guess I still have expectations to be a perennial top 4 team in the Big 10 at some point in Archie's tenure. I think he is a very good coach but he needs to bring in talent every year to get there. And he may not if Creighton and Purdue are thought to be better destinations for 2 of our top of the board recruits. We are slated by most unbiased prognosticators to be in the 7-9 range again. I think most of us would be disappointed in that finish. We better start exceeding expectations at some point or the talent will drop off even farther. We have TJD, Lander, and maybe Hunter. Then a bunch of guys in the 100-150 range. I consider that more Illinois or Iowa, not Indiana. But maybe I'm living in the past and we will never again be what we all think we should be.

So if we don't get Miller or Aminu we're still fine? 2021 recruiting class of 1 guy is fine? I get it that 2020 is different, transfers, yada yada. But to me this would be a big problem to have 1 legitimate recruit in a year in which we really need 3-4.

So who tf is going to fill out the remainder of this class? Aminu seems like a long shot. Miller 50/50. After that? Who's even on the radar?

Agree. My educated prediction Next week - continued spread to all states and growing number of cases. Testing becomes more widely available 2 weeks - death rate sores in US to hundreds per day with total numbers in thousands, spread to essentially all communities 3 weeks - peak case numbers identified and death rates stabilize 4 weeks - stability in cases and deaths per day but numbers continue to mount 5 weeks - declining number of cases still stable growing death numbers 6 weeks - declining cases and deaths 7 weeks and beyond - virus fizzles

The hysteria is real. Schools shut down for influenza generally when ~30% are sick with it. 30,000+ have died in just the US from flu this flu season. What's the worldwide count now for COVID-19 over the last 3+ months? Around 4,000 last I checked (I realize this number grows daily). This is silly.

Oh yeah, duh! Still could use another primary ball handler.

That's a bit disappointing. It would be nice to have a back up plan. Devonte will be gone. Then we have Rob and Al. If one of those guys goes down we are screwed. Am I missing something?

For someone who follows recruiting more closely - are we actively pursuing another PG for the 2020 class, transfer or otherwise?
