To be so tight lipped about his recruitment and decision and then this happens. SMH I mean you're making your announcement on the radio TK. You can call into the station live and say your choice man. No need to be sly and sneak into a studio beforehand. Go Hoosiers!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the work he put in with cliff Marshall is insane and makes me pumped to see his trajectory.

Locking down the state. Then Indiana kid doesn’t want to come here and people down play recruit and how good they are. Can we just throw location out now and just agree we want the best player because giving these home town kids the benefit over a kid like Geronimo who was blown away by IU doesn’t seem to make any sense. We want kids that feel IU is a special offer not those that take it for granted. I’m not handicapping out of state kids for location any more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IUfaninIllinois 388 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Hoosierdave said: So basically I think it’s safe to say this is what happened...Trey FaceTimed with our coaching staff Wednesday (according to CoachSS) and Trey probably found out about Archie’s birthday and wanted to let him know he wasn’t coming there to avoid the whole situation. He went to the same location he was going to record his “live” announcement to either pre-record it or maybe his friend wanted to do a practice run for today, and they didn’t realize they were live on the air and people could hear them. It would be incredible if he said screw all this I’m going to flip it to IU now but apparently in that leaked audio Trey said he spoke with Painter about 2 weeks ago and didn’t flat out tell him it was Purdue but knew by then he wanted to go there, so I don’t see him changing his mind. I would like to say IU gave it there all but I started to worry about this recruitment when Trey said that while IU had been recruiting him the longest, only until Virginia started to really prioritize Trey did Archie assume a bigger role. Sounds like he got too confident and it came back to bite him. I’ve said this many times. In big recruits like this Ostrom assumes the lead role instead of CAM so these players are building relationships with head coaches for other teams like Painter with Purdue but not with us and it hurts us with the bigger recruits. He can obviously get away with this for recruits in the 80s-100s but this needs to change if he wants to try recruiting with the big boys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I an not syaing this is a good thing but have told you many times that even our best coach did not get e very Indiana recruit. He never got 3 straight Mr. Basketballs so why when Archie misses out on one he is vilified for it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Her joining this forum is the fuel HSN needs right now. Give the people what they want @Stlboiler23! Hahaha she’s not really a big sports fan. More into arts. I’ve gotten her more into sports since we’ve been together. She got into Purdue football when the Tyler Trent thing was going down actually. Random side note, my wife and I actually adopted the Trent’s dog a few years ago since they had so much going on with Tyler. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He never got 3 straight Mr. Basketballs so why when Archie misses out on one he is vilified for it. Because he isn’t winning with the talent we have. If you aren’t going to see a team compete for B1G title at least continue to show us why we should be optimistic the Calvary is coming. I felt pretty good but the momentum has been slipping. Starting to see some cracks in the line. Brooks, Watford, Garcia, Furst, Kaufman. I don’t care you don’t win the recruiting battles at least show me you can coach up what we have. We knew Knight could squeeze blood from a turnip. Also Knight had a personality that there was no way under the sun every Mr Basketball and their families would send their kid there. I hear that Archie is a closer. Well he struggling to do that. Add that to the quality of play on the floor...hey man you eventually got to start excelling at one to help the other. Right now he is spinning tires...and that won’t cut it at IU. He has a chance this year to change the narrative...but that is just putting pressure on him. Not sweat off my back...he is the one with the job on the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In year 3 that’s what I expected from Archie so what you want last year 25 wins? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
