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. Just my thoughts. I don’t disagree. Just saying if we land Romeo CAM is arriving early IMO. It’s a miracle he has been able to do what he’s done so quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good doesn’t cut it when you’re in a competition with 300 teams. You need special talent. I’m sorry but it really is boom or bust. You just can't let yourself to think positive can you. I think we will get Romeo and I think we will get TJD and one of the two in Brooks or Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not year in and year out, not even Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, or Kentucky do that. Just my thoughts. Duke, Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky do challenge for a Final Four year in and year out.

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. Actually, the reason we're not right with those schools is not 100% due to poor coaching hires. A lot of it is due to the fact that, unlike them, we don't pay players. Perhaps the playing field will be leveled after the repercussions of the FBI investigation are played out. Or perhaps not.

I think it really is boom or bust and either Archie will open the floodgates or he won’t and we’ll be mired in mediocrity like the rest of the big 10. I love the hire, his recruiting strategy, effort, and his coaching isTBD (but positive signs). I also think boom is more probable than bust and it will trickle down after Romeo. I also think that we land Romeo + TJD plus one of Watford or Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't and didn't have to have 3~4 5 stars in the starting lineup. We can win with a bunch of solid, well-coached 4-year players. Poor in-game coaching, atrocious roster management, and (more importantly) losing the state of Indiana as an IU coach were the biggest factors of our misery for the last 2 decades. And it was all on the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, can you really make such a definitive statement about any teams these days with cheating without any inside knowledge about programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaustical Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I think boom or bust is the wrong way to look at it. Finally got a good young coach, gonna sit back and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say it all could be the same source (although I doubt it) but all the people saying we’re in good with these guys makes me feel real good right about now!
