If you cant build a winning relationship with a kid an hour from your front door you failed. Like Jerry Schiting who lived 20 miles fromt he IU campus. some of you act like this is the first local kid who chose not to play at IU. As for trey he lives a lot closer to UL than he does IU so that could be the local team he rooted for. Edited October 30, 2020 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct two years ago everyone said 2021 was this monster class and we should save grants, etc. This was going to be archie's killer class.

"He's definitely picked it up big time," Gordon Sr. said. "As an eighth-grader, he's picked up the pace of the game. He's probably a better player than Eric was at this stage, without a doubt. He just has to keep it up." Qoute about Eron from his father Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So far its been a bust. I know he reclassified but Lander was the top rated recruit in the 2021 class. Duncomb will also finish as a top 70 player as well. My point is that why not wait until we see how this plays until we mark it as a bust. We won't know until probably June what next years class and roster will look like. There will be many different ways to get players this recruiting season with all the transfers that wil take place this year. I have already seen that last years Ivy league player of the year will transfer after this year. He is 6'10 and averaged 17 and 10 and owuld be a great pickup as a grad transfer.

I do like the inside out approach, however, I am also aware that for some of the in state kids, using Indiana as an attention getter is probably somewhat part of the process too. To that end, Archie has carted blanche from me to take em where he can get them. I don't notice as much of this nonsense with the out of state kids and it is kind of nice to just open up the news and see "so and so committed" as opposed to this or the Brooks shhh show. I am still a little iffy on our future, but I am going to wait until the class fills out and we see what happens this year on the court before I hit the panic button harder. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWatShot 560 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm not really interested in arguing about Archie Miller's record after 3 seasons compared to other coaches, his record against coaches after 5 or 6 meetings, or how past recruits' younger brothers compared to them at a certain age. I'm unhappy about this because it's a missed opportunity for the program to get better. Maybe we get Mohammad and/or somebody else, maybe we don't, but we're not better after this. Recruiting is every coach's lifeline. It's something they can point to during a tough season. It gives people hope. It creates buzz and excitement. All year, people have talked about how loaded this class of '21 is in Indiana. On the eve of the signing period, we have one player committed, and he's not even from Indiana. If Archie Miller bagged a strong '21 class, it would alleviate a good deal of concern about our future. If he whiffs on '21 and we struggle yet again this season, he's done for. The "3 straight Mr. Basketballs" argument will ring hollow by that point. Ok, done ranting. The stupid way in which this leaked, along with Boiler over here being chipper about it has me in a fouler mood than usual. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cynic in me says they could both play like first rounders and we'd still find a way to lose 10-12 games. Heck, we lost 7 when we had two of the top four picks in the NBA draft.

In year 3 that’s what I expected from Archie so what you want last year 25 wins? Top half of the B1G too much to ask? I’m more disappointed in our conference finish then the overall WL when you can rack up 8-9 cupcake wins a year just by favorable scheduling. We had some momentum off the FSU win but once conference started I saw an inconsistent team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So there were two games between us finishing 10th to 5th place. It is not like we were that far away from being in the top half of the league.

Maybe but I sure wouldn't feel good about this season. There are already 2 open scholarships for this season. If Lander hadn't reclassified Archie would have been scrapping the bottom for a player.
