My initial response wasn’t to you. It’s to the guy who doesn’t give us a shot and says he’s going to Purdue or Mich St definitively and the kid isn’t making a decision for another year. Lol

It's not that serious... thank you for your concern though

Let me try to explain it so you can understand ... Archie landed Anderson and Phinisee from two spots recruits rarely are pulled within 4 months on the job. Add in Langford and Lander - he's proven he's got the recruiting chops esp for 5 stars. The "percentages" don't carry the weight they once did. He's shown that right out of the gate. My original response was to Hoosier Jax who said we should not recruit Washington. If you expect to fail, you're going to fail. Does that make sense?

You’re not one of those “that’s the way we’ve always done it” guys are you? By your logic, Purdue should never expect to get Kaufman, Archie should never expect to get Phinisee. Coach said from the beginning his plan was to lock the borders. He’s a guy who does what he says and says what he means and the track record right now is pretty dam good. I’m definitely willing to give him a shot at it and not write off an in state 5 star recruit like some. Edit: I’m not seeing the hysterics over Kaufman either. We didn’t get a top 50 guy. Life goes on

Negative energy ... it’s the worst

Now that you’ve locked in your crystal ball picks we should probably just take this guy off the page, right?

I don’t think he will but he actually could go pro in 2021. By rule, you must turn 19 at any point during the calendar year of the draft.

Good looking big on the rise currently sitting at 80 on 247 rankings. Taking bets on Stlboiler congratulatory post: My money is on these two words being in there .... “interesting” and “Furst”

I don’t think he would over sign. I think of it more of hearing of a transfer in the spring and tacking one more on to fill that void.

How about 5?

I’m almost positive he said 2020. Wouldn’t seem his style to skip over 2020 to focus on 2021 IMO

Archie said in Evansville he sees the class being anywhere from 4-6 so ...

If memory serves, I believe the numbers are $178M guaranteed $199M non-guaranteed according to Rabby

Did you get to catch some Cathedral games or have you seen him live? I’ve seen highlight reels of him scoring, but that didn’t give a real clear picture of his capabilities. Intriguing to hear about that potential.

Our top targets have said they’d ideally like to have a decision made before their season kicks off. Today is July 20th. Nobody is stringing anybody along here.
