PhinithreeMagic 689 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) Staff will need the story behind this one. The press release from the Miami program didn't read like Cross was entering the portal by choice. Edited January 28 by PhinithreeMagic Added screenshot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looked and he was averaging 7 points per game. I saw one game where they beat UL that he scored 16 points and hit 4 3's Edited January 28 by IU Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnet550 300 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 7 ppg but 40% from 3...unless there was something off the court I’d think we should be interested. At 6’6” could play the 3. if you start Stewart and Cross, your shooting dramatically improves. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KDB 3,602 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Need to see the reasoning for why he's leaving the program is, but... I LOVED Cross when we were originally recruiting him. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Larranaga tries to run a tight ship but nothing has leaked out on this one at all. Most if not all fans are saying what is the problem with coach and why is he not playing their best shooter. If I were betting a confident kid said something and old school coach didn't like it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobSaccamanno 5,050 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) I don’t know that you could identify a kid who could fall out of the sky and fill our needs better than Cross. And Archie loved him during the recruitment. Of course, the reason for his separation from the U is not public. I linked an article from Miami from this afternoon that brings us up to date on his career. Bottom line, Coach Larranga didn’t play him the last game even though they had a short bench. Could be a personality clash. We can speculate until we are blue in the face. Archie can find out though. If he pushes forward, then we will know he’s comfortable with whatever it was. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article248839044.html Edited January 29 by BobSaccamanno 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bustout 615 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Even if it was some discipline issue or something, if Cross wants to come here, I’m guessing Archie will give him a spot. Archie needs talent and seems IU’s culture is pretty tight-knit, so good be a good place for the kid ... unless it’s a Dan Dakich drug/pimp issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Robby 788 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Boy oh boy is this a potential blessing in disguise!?!?! Hate it didn’t work out...somehow. if it’s clean and no issues, CAM better have left practice to call this guy 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IU Scott 10,954 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 You first have to see what happened for him to be off the team If it is not serious and nothing illegal then I am all for him to come here. I saw some of the game when they played Purdue and he looked alright but didn't jump off the screen. He is a burly 6'7 shooter but have no idea how good he rebounds or plays defense.
