I will, with passion, take the position that movies in the 1980's are infinitely better than movies today. Hands down, agreed, but include the 90s too, and for that matter the 70s. For world-marketing reasons, Hollywood has gone global, focusing on special effects / blockbuster "Marvel" - type movies as those are the movies that can gather the broadest world appeal. It is hard to find great movies with great story lines and writing today. That's not some "they don't build it like they used to" viewpoint. It's the reality of what is driving movie-making and budgets today. Give me Finding Forrester, Good Will Hunting, All the Presidents Men, ET, Searching for Bobby Fisher, and so many other great films over today's films, any day.

Brass Cannon Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 People tend to forget all the crap that also came out in the earlier decades. In a lot of ways I think the 00s generated some great films. Combination of CGI coming in maturity, movies being incredibly popular allowing for more passion projects and online reviews allowing good movies to get noticed. I can’t comment on the 10s as my movie watching has plummeted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed 2 in state guys who appear to be very similar in size,etc...but now because Matt Cross (if what you say is true) decides to possibly head elsewhere because the others committed before him....we now call him another one that will get away? Implication seems a tad critical to me. Maybe I'm reading you wrong. Apologies in advance if I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing definitive, but Florida and Texas AM have swooped in at the last minute when it appeared to be between us and So. Carolina and get visits. Florida is showing better results than we are. Things aren't going in a good direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clearing up that according to many Cross is still a high priority - even after the 2 latest commits. This is part of the plan and CAM believes they can play together and that Cross can play some 4. My understanding is that (primarily) Leal is the shooter, Galloway likes to attack the rim and Cross is the banger. All like have good BB IQs and have some grit. Their skills may overlap but each have a unique role they can fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross looks like a very good player (and I'd be happy to get him) but something about more size and athleticism with Geronimo has me more interested in him. Thanks for follow up.

dwtaylor1055 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 IMO if Cross doesn’t commit to IU because of the previous two commitments then he should have committed before Leal and/or Trey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I don't understand the handwringing. Pretty much every program out there offers a lot more kids than they have slots for knowing that some will go elsewhere. It's an absolute given than many kids will "get away" from any program that recruits. I'm pretty happy with the recruits that IU is getting.

Seems like this is Archie's top choice after landing Galloway and Leal. If we add Cross, have to say mission accomplished for the staff. Cross, Galloway and Leal? Yes, Please!

5fouls Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 This one is really interesting. From all indications, Archie wants Cross badly. If so, obviously has plans for him. If Cross commits, it will be interesting to see what those are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbmhoosier Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I want Cross badly but it seems that Archie can never close on out of state top 100 guys. Hunter being the exception but that was a unique situation. I think he's an Aggie or a Gator unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
