Archie should have redshirted De'Ron.... the year after his major injury. Bringing him back for that year, did more harm than good, IMHO. And Archie has admitted as much.

I know he's local to you and I get that.....but Davis isn't a stranger to Kirkwood/Walnut St every night of the week. His injuries have been tough for sure but it's not like he's been rehabbing or working on his game or whatever it takes to be the best like Vic or Jordy or Cody.....just my 2 cents.

Like with many injuries....sometimes it's the preventative work that goes in before to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Davis. His impact in that Duke game showed how important he could be. I think we were +15 when he was on the court....but cheap fouls took him out. I just want the kid to go out on a high note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not liked the product on the floor, it is not fun anymore, and having talks about the stuff ends up hurting feelings that maybe you do not intend to. This crap is way less serious then we take it. I am going to try and just take less time worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Davis posted on his Instagram story.... Ugh. Well, to be fair, that’s not really the point the majority of people in this thread were making. People were condemning his lack of investment in that big moment in the game the other night. And, seemingly in the go-ahead shot against ND. It’s a pattern that isn’t going to make fans all that pleased. There’s been plenty to be grumpy about, these moments were not among those. Most of us aren’t down on Deron as a guy, nor what he’s given to the program. What I will say is this: he plays a sport at a high level at a program with a LOT of visibility. When committed to such a prestigious endeavor, we want to see that it’s truly a privilege he is not taking for granted. A lot of young people out there work really hard and never get that opportunity. You don’t get to hunker down and hope nobody notices, whether it’s convenient or not, people are watching. I have worked the better part of the last twenty years as a professional stage actor. If I was having a bad day, if something really terrible was happening in my personal life, I sure as heck knew I couldn’t take that onto stage with me. The court, and yes, even the bench, is a stage for these fellas. That said, I hope his fortunes shift. I still hope there’s a way for him to contribute. I certainly wish him all the best as he continues down his own path through life. I’ll never forget the grit, heart, and passion he filled his IU jersey with.

Your public posts can do damage and it seems some folks forget what it's like to be 18-22. It's worse when you're that age and subject to relentless pressure and criticism. So disappointed in the over-the-top negativity toward the players, even when we feel it's deserved. I understand disappointment in the overall product and results, but singling them out, wishing them gone, etc. is just over the top and I wish that part would go away.
