Strange presser. This recruitment was strange. KBJ seemed to be all about the money. No one I would really want especially when building a program as CAM is.Reminds me of how Wilkes played us. And with Dad's bazaar comments begins to have vibes of Lavall Ball. As I stated earlier, would like to have him but missing is not that big a deal. This team DESPARATELY needs shooters NOW. KBJ did not help in that regard. Glad to have a scholly available to fit that need. And no I am not wishing him well. HE CHOSE pUKe. He is anathema to me.

But not a good miss for a coach trying to lock down his state and win games. We got Romeo and TJD. We're 2-3. 66% on 5 stars since he took over the operation. Isn't that better than the prior 25 years??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesian_86 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Archie is not the OAD type of coach.....Sure those type of players are on every coaches wish list. Archie is a blue collar coach who wants players who want to play and represent IU first. Money will come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I said it before he went to LaLu...when he didn't travel with Northside to a game in Elkhart. The signs were there. Anybody remember that?

Ever. That is SELFISH beyond reason. He will fit in perfectly at UK with the $$$ and the me. So glad we have TJD. What a stellar young man.

Even at his current level, he should know that the competition is fierce and a lot can go wrong in trying to make the dream real. Doesn't mean I didn't want him, but an immature statement like that and choosing a school I detest knocks Keion down a couple of notches in my level of respect. I hope he gets to the NBA while contributing almost nothing to UK and regretting his decision to play for that scumbag, if that's all possible. 😂 I hope he bags my groceries. A noble profession.

Namnik Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Sadly, buyers remorse will set in 2 years from now when he is still coming off the bench. He will be a second thought to the starters at Kentucky and forgotten about in Indiana. Missed opportunity on his part. UNC and MSU were better "business" decisions.

It was obvious to me when he mentioned playing a year and then making millions that I'd very much misread his personality and values. Yikes.

cohete15 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 In what I thought was going to be a fun March, it went the complete opposite way. No NCAA. No Keion. And I'm sure Romeo is gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please have faith. He is so much more than CTC (that is all I will say) I’m with you on that. CAM will build this thing. Also nothing pisses me off more than an Indiana kid going to Kentucky. I would rather them go to Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhunter Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think he looks kike a great two year player. Unfortunately those around him will probably corrupt him if it hasn’t happened already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
