He must have a good feeling or good info. That’s why I’m so lost as to why he’s saying he has a “low” confidence level of Kaufman to IU. Maybe it’s not to ruin the kids moment and spill the beans or maybe he thinks if Kentucky offers things become interesting but peegs has literally only logged like 12 predictions over the years so it seems pretty significant if he’s offering up his two cents.

Yesterday it showed all 4. On his main page it still shows 4 predictions. It is odd indeed. Could be an error in there part that isn't showing all 4 for some reason.

There is no doubt in Trey's mind that IU has highly prioritized him. Ostrom has been really solid in these situations so far. Ostrom is absolutely a stud recruiter.... we HAVE to make him highest paid assistant in the big ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with success is offers come to run your own program... the key to a successful program is making sure you bring in killer recruiters because they are the difference between success and failure. I also think that it seems like Ostrom is the lead recruiter and never Archie. I think Archie needs to be more hands on in the future. I mean maybe he already is and it’s just not talked about enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean maybe he already is and it’s just not talked about enough Flint has been credited with a bunch of recruits and now we are seeing Roberts influence and connections. Everyone needs a contact and it seems Miller is heavily involved as well from recruit interviews, signees, parents, and other interviews. Miller is a tireless recruiter. Osterum is very, very good at that as well and well connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t need 3 coaches drawing up plays and yelling at the kids. Hope Ostrom sticks around...seems like a great asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just suggestions here and there to head coach. It´s my role. Ostrom is fine doing his role. I believe you hit it on the head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I don’t really worry about the assistants. Sure, I’d love Ostrom to stay as long as possible, but IU has recruited star players under Bob Knight, Mike Davis, Kelvin Sampson, Tom Crean and Archie Miller. Ostrom is a great recruiter but the recruiting strategy is Archie’s and he’s clearly heavily involved in closing the deal. If Ostrom leaves at some point, Archie will bring in another great recruiter. If Archie is winning, it won’t really matter. The recruits will be there and Archie has clearly built strong relationships in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he is the associate head coach and has a ton of responsibilities. He is known as a recruiter and that goes back to his days with Donovan. He is a dynamic recruiter and connects well with people.

If we want to keep Ostrom we can beat an offer from the kind of schools that’s are willing to hire an assistant. But if he really wants a head coaching gig their will be no keeping him. But if we lose him because he wants a pay raise that’s us being stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't leave here to be an assistant at another school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
