The Daily Hoosier Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Everyone offered in the 2019 class is Top 50 nationally. This could be really, really good, but there is downside risk too. We've seen that story play out before. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indianas-coaching-staff-completes-hectic-spring-recruiting-period/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 We haven’t seen that with this coach before. Different kind of recruiter. It will be BOOM 💥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Great read. I predict Iu only gets one of Jackson Davis, Brooks, and Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoopsta007 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Maybe we don’t hit on all the top guys, but Archie seems to have a plan a, b, and c. Even missing a top player will be filled up with high major talent. Fun times to be an Iu fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADegenerate Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 The thing is we need to not be missing the top guys. It is boom or bust for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I truly believe in archie and I think he can go BooM on the recruiting trail. We wont get all the top recruits but I feel we will get enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoHoosier Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 In all seriousness, I do remember the movement. After all, Yogi was 'the motor' or at least the key piece of it. I will enjoy the memory of the assists leader's playing days at IU. Though his NBA career belongs to him, I believe he will be a good ambassador for IU as fans and coaches can point to an undersized guard meeting with success at the next level. Apologies for going for a laugh instead how I really felt. I think I offended myself. I agree that CAM and staff are putting the work in recruiting wise to have us feeling good in the off season. Another fine article TDH. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Never forget #themovement. this isn’t boom or bust - if we get RL and he leaves after one season we pick up one of the 4-5 guards we’ll have offered by then, all top 50, and take in 1-2 of brooks/TJD/watford. Not in the least bit worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the least bit worried. It all depends on Romeo. That’s the caveat. If we miss on Romeo and then miss on most of the top players we are after it’s very much boom or bust for me. Let’s not forget that Hunter is the only top 100 player (on ESPN) and he’s not even close to a 5 star. I dont like absolutes but this really does feel like a boom or bust situation for IU. It’s definitely trending toward the former but we’ll find out on the 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good class without Romeo, a great one with him. Recruiting is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike AD I've always been extremely bullish on the potential of IU basketball. We have as much as anyone. That's why I wanted Crean out so bad. The reason we aren't right with Duke, UK, UNC, and Kansas is due 100% to several extremely poor coaching hires. Thankfully we finally got it right.

Bingo. It’s not boom or bust yet. It will be disappointing if we lose out on RL, but CAM put together a solid class before even coaching a game. Give him some time. Recruiting cycles are supposed to be 2-4 year relationships. If we hit on RL and the 19 class he worked a miracle and arrived early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I have high hopes on 2019 class. Archie seems to be calculative and selective in his approach to recruiting, and he showed his ability to close the deals last year to a somewhat lesser degree (Hunter 49, Phinisee 99, Anderson 114, Forrester 127). His next challenge is to zero in and close the deals with top 50 players, which I think he can do successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Romeo and Morgan, we are really good 2018 and beyond. With Archie in charge, I expect us to be top 4 in the B1G and NCAA tournament team every year. Think Wisconsin, but we should have the horses to challenge for Final Fours and National Titles on a regular basis. Not year in and year out, not even Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, or Kentucky do that. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
