DocHoosier Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 1 hour ago, Cutter said: Archie said in post game press conference last night he thinks he has guys that can shoot now but they just aren't getting good shot, taking bad shots,or not confident. That outlook may be problematic in recruiting really good shooters going forward. Should he have instead stated, “Yea all these current players stink at shooting. We need to recruit some shooters”? Behind closed doors, I would guess he and his staff have identified shooting as a weakness. But nothing good will come out of announcing this at the podium after a post-game conference loss.

Thats is all I know and if you are honest with yourself that's all you know too. The rest is speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, I think after a freaking 7 game loosing streak he needs to point out all of the problems this team has. I am tired of the sugar coating bulls***, you can like that crap all you want but I am sick of it. Maybe just maybe it would light a fire in some of these kids bellys. Notice I said some because I don't think some care. Or maybe we shouldn't talk about how they can't shoot so they feel good about themselves what bulls***!!! Maybe its ok green was smoking pot and got suspended instead of leading this team as a junior more bulls*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only has the offense failed us but the defense intensity and activity has as well. Add that to poor rebounding Archie has to be pretty darn upset. Of course part or what he said is that his team has confidence issues...obviously some fragile players on this team but he can’t call them out on blast. Most coaches know some guys can handle that...some can’t...due to the fact we have almost half a roster of freshman I can see why he feels that way. Let’s hope Archie recognizes the shortcomings of the roster and will address it in his recruiting. I do think we have two of our better shooters on the bench injured in Race and Jerome and I doubt he counted on Green getting suspended. Depending on what happens with the roster in the off season maybe another grad transfer except this time hopefully he gets it right. No way he thought the injuries would hamstring us like this and Fitz would play this poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 We discussed earlier in the week. I think Archie is telling us something today. He's watching 6'9 230 lb Versatile Center Tre Mitchell today. 4 star Center in 2019 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll have 2-3 people leave this year and Archie is wanting to replace those guys with talented size. I'm not worried about Brooks one bit.

DocHoosier Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 A lot has been made out of Archie’s lack of ability identifying offensive threats on the recruiting trail. Did the APR prevent him from getting his guys? Did Glass request him to keep the players previously signed LOI when taking the job? No clue. Lets take a look at two guards Arch identified as high level prospects. McKinley Wright, PG Colorado Freshman: 14.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 5.5 apg Sophomore: 13.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 5.0 apg Davide Moretti, G Texas Tech Freshman: 3.5 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 1.1 apg Sophomore: 10.9 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 2.5 apg _________________________________________ For comparison, let’s look at IU guards previously in place when Archie took over. Devonte Green 2018 (Soph): 7.6 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.5 apg 2019 (Junior): 7.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.9 apg Josh Newkirk 2018 (Senior): 7.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 2.8 apg _________________________________________ Conclusion: Archie can identify talent on the recruiting trail. I will continue to trust him and look forward to bringing in more of his players as he cleans up the roster mess left by Crean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Juniors and sophomores to keep an eye on. I'm rooting for my hometown guy, Trey Kaufman. He just keeps getting better. He was sick in sectional and regional, hope he explodes tomorrow but they play a team system. One of the reporters has already stated he is most improved this season, I think amongst 2021 guys. https://www.953wiki.com/news/sports-news/ibca-subway-boys-all-state-honors-set/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Nathan Childress from Zionsville has committed to IU as a walk-on. He had previously signed to play at Bethel but their coach just left that program. He is a 6’6 kid but I don’t know much about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGERVOL Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 On 2/15/2019 at 9:03 AM, CoachSS said: Very down year in-state in 2020. 2021 looks to have four players (Lander, Furst, Thomas, Kauffman) that will all have multiple, multiple P5 offers. 2020 you can only say that with maybe a small, select few guys and none of the offers are, necessarily, top-30 or top-40 types of teams / programs. Safe to say we’ll be headed out of state? How many ships will we have for 2020? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
