It just isn’t worth it to me to pay much attention to recruits (really in any sport I follow) that leave the state. There are just too many good schools in Indiana to make leaving necessary. I coukdn’t tell you anything about Wilkes or Scruggs. I don’t even know where Lyles has been in the NBA. Denver. Single digit scoring average reserve. Tom Crean probably would have developed him better for the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I should join the club of no big deal, let's just keep losing recruits that's caused us to be a 20+ years of joke. The pressure we had in 80's/90's....maybe time to bring that back. No one (especially IU fans) would just say ok...no big deal. I won't ever be in that club...but it sounds like a few of you guys are cool with it. Not me. Not ever. I think it's a little overboard to call the program a 20-year joke. Crean won some B1G league championships and went to the second weekend in the tournament. Not what everyone wants but hardly a joke...just ask UK. ...and no, I'm not "cool" with missing on recruits. I just have other priorities that make not getting every recruit targeted relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of life. Fans that get tore up over every recruit likely see themselves as "passionate" whereas I simply see them as needing to reorder their life priorities. We'll be OK if Keion picks IU or another school...life (and IU basketball) will go on either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another to lose one from your own backyard when all of our supposed insiders have said for months was a lock and who's father was coached in college by our lead assistant. It stings.

So what do you think you or any other fans can do about recruits picking other schools. f KB is going to be a one and done how is losing him that big of a deal. I would rather have guys that will be here for the long term and build around them. Some of you guys are such drama queens and act like losing out on Indiana kids is a new thing does the name Eric Montross ring a bell to you and remember who was IU coach at that time.

Let's hold the tears until after the announcement. At least then we'll know if it's tears of joy or disappointment, right? I mean...I won't be crying if IU gets Franklin, TJD and Romeo decides to do one more year. That would not sting at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't you be over on the rivals site with you rother cronies trying to get Glass and Archie fired. Again losing Indiana kids is not anything new and been happening for years.

Just think you might take this way to seriously because one recruit will not make or break a program/ Again if is thoughts are on the NBA and the fastest way to get there then UK is a better place for him.

It's OK...I was just sensing that you were getting very upset about the possibility of Keion choosing another school. Sure, I'd rather see Keion play for IU than go south of the border, but I still have a hunch that this coach will get a lot bigger share of Indiana players than the last several coaches did.

btownqb Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Was hoping the ridiculousness of calling for our coach to be fired was going to end with Crean. I'm certainly glad I don't go to Rivals if that's what is said there. Not going to lie.. that stuff is a massive drawback of mine of our fanbase. Truly makes it unenjoyable for those of us that simply want to root for their favorite college basketball team. Hope we get Keion. He isn't a must though. TJD was a must.
