Not sure why questioned is viewed as being disloyal. I just think it is a little early to question his recruiting because it has been very good so far. This class we had a few disappointments but this class is not over yet. Also i feel when their starts to be rumblings about the coach it will start effecting recruiting in a negative way. We have heard from a couple of recruits or family who mentioned the fan base as being a little over the top in criticizing players and coaches. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, 5th in BIG and top 20 will probably get us a ticket to March Madness. I like it. If this happens, I would think IU is legitimately back on the map because unlike the previous coach, Archie seems to value continuity. I wouldn't be mad if this team finishes top 25, not top 20.

I think this team wit finish 5th in the conference and be a top 20 team nationally. If it doesn't happen then I will be disappointed but I am not going to make my life miserable before it happens. Actually, someone was incredulous that I said I would find a 7th place finish in the B1G this season to be disappointing. So, yes, someone did basically say I should be happy with a 7th place finish. This was in another thread. Also, pointing out how Miller has not produced great results so far isn't being pessimistic about the upcoming season. Jesus, you and a few others see any criticism of the coach's results so far as doom and gloom. The very reason I would be disappointed with a 7th place finish is because I think this team is better than that. How is that pessimistic? What I want is the team to play like a good team as it did against FSU or the first 15 minutes against Maryland at home last season more often than as a bad team like the one that played Purdue. Last year we saw that good team very infrequently and the bad one often. I want to see a team that plays closer to its potential best rather than its potential worst. All players coached by Crean are gone and only 1 recruited by him remains. This is Miller's team through and through. They have experience. They haven't been injured this off season. The supposed causes of chemistry issues are gone. The players that might not have "bought in" to the system are gone. He has a stud in TJD. He has what was the top PG in 2021 was is still considered one of the top PG in 2020. Hunter and Franklin were both shooting well towards the end of last season and Durham is a decent shooter so they may not be as poor in that regard as last season. So expecting a pretty good season were the team is consistent, plays hard way more often than not (which hasn't happened his first 3 years), that plays together and wins games they've lost the past few years is being pessimistic? Or is that just asking for too much and being impatient? I get confused which I'm being because you have said both about me. I'm not expecting them to win the B1G or a national championship, but I do think they should be better than 7th in the conference and good enough to not only be easily in the NCAAT but also not be close to a double digit seed.

If you know all along you are going to one school, I am just assuming, why post a top 2? This is becoming such a game/show. If reporting is correct that Miller met with IU after the top 2 posting.....just doesnt make sense. Does it do any favors to school that doesn't get the recruit?

He might have still been at least slightly undecided and giving the IU coaching staff a chance to change his mind. He is a teenager, after all, and teenagers change their minds. Besides, this is a big decision in his life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider your expectations for last years team was a but mythical or unrealistic. Not sure coach K or even the great Painter could of meet those expectations for that roster.

IU Scott 8,204 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I watch a lot of basketball and have watched Creighton a lot and they are a fun team to watch offensively. They are a lot like Crean teams where they will score in the 80's but gives up 80. I can see why a kid would like to go there and be able to play fast and shoot a lot. I think a defensive coach like Archie might have a harder time to convince kids who are not defensive minded players to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaroonRebel 67 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Miller pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGleas 7,414 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Billingsley99 said: Not being sarcastic but do you really think that is a RL thing. I watched the kid for 8 years and never saw him just run to the corner. I get it level of comp etc.. I know that while at IU there was a reason he went to the corner and I think at the next level he carried that on from his 1 year at IU. I know what you are saying and you know more about the situation than I but I don't think he was the same player after IU as before. You've watched Langford for far longer than I have. Most on this board probably have. All I'm saying is that I've watched him closely for two years in a row and I've seen him for two years in a row in two different situations and systems with two different coaches largely just stand in the corner on offense. It's not a huge sample size given the length of what a full career is, so I'll be curious to see his involvement in Boston's offense next season with a year, albeit injury shortened, under his belt. I've just watched him do this for two years in a row now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FKIM01 7,491 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Seems to me that several here are deciding to be gloomy before events have even played out. I've always lived by the mantra, "don't borrow trouble" and it seems particularly appropriate here. Why are we so blue about events that haven't even unfolded yet? Seems like a giant waste of time and energy to me. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
