Indykev

I'd volunteer to commish the 2nd league if no one wants it. I have some time during the day now.

No...it's worse to mislead a young man that he fits what you are going to do and will be a big part of your team just to keep a commitment. I'm sure they believe in Gunn or they would have asked to get out of his offer. The kid would have PLENTY of time to find a new fit and be successful. I am not sure about the kid myself because of the lack of production but I have to think the staff really likes what he can bring or they wouldn't have kept his commitment. 

Yes you are right, they should cut him loose, 22% from 3 isnt what they are looking for from every interview given by CMW

Why go to a place where their coach is 75 years old who could retire any day.  Is Gunn and Take similar in style and position that would keep him from commiting here.  I like Gunn and have watched him many times but don't know how good he will.be here.  With the uncertainty of the scholarship numbers wonder if keeping Gunn's commitment was a bad decision.

I'm going to say it again, unless Gunn learns to shoot the ball, its a very bad decision. But in the big picture, maybe more important for IU to keep their word on the offer even though it was a different staff.

Good on the staff. you dont pull 4 star linemen out of Ohio unless you are OSU or Mich.

Waiting until we get the 2nd league filled.  Will split the posters between leagues at that point.  Looks like we need 4 more.  I will play in both leagues if needed.

surely we can get 24 peeps. sign up everyone.

Warren at 36 and hasn't even coached a game yet.

Just offered by IU. 6'7" 275.

It just seems like an IU can't win when it comes to their recruiting philosophy.  Crean was criticized for losing the state and then only recruited out of state kids.  Archie recruited the state well but was criticized for not getting enough out of state guys

Archie couldnt get either to come. Who sits on schollys with that team he put together. I think Archie was put in a bad spot with the recruit Indiana kids first. Handcuffed him.

Archie had a hot wife and a daughter to raise. Who is to say he wasn't working at home as well?

Gunn committed under Archie yes? I don’t get the feeling Washington is a high Priority. Don’t get me wrong we would love to have him but I don’t think he is Top of the board full court press on him. Could be wrong.

The best players period. I dont care if they are from mars. If Indy HS coaches want kids at IU teach them to shoot the damn ball. Shooting from Indiana kids has been crap for years now.

I dont know if it mean more wins but the last 3 nights CMW has been in late. Never seen Archie here after 6pm

Did ya get his autograph?

No, I have 5 autograph's in my life time. Tiger Woods on a 97' Masters flag, Jack Nicklaus on a 2000 US Open flag from Pebble Beach, his last US Open. A painting of Arnold Palmer, Nicklaus and Ben Hogan signed by all 3, which was given to me by Arnold, who my girlfriend at the time was his secretary.

I really think this kid will take off.  He appears to have it all together like you indicated.  I still am of the belief that he can be as good as Romeo, possibly better here at IU.  Time will tell and if he stays more than one year then it'll be hard to compare but I have high hopes for this kid.  

Looked bigger than Romeo up close.

Had the spy cam out today and got shots of the recruits and staff today. will post soon.

I saw this kid today. This kid is put together. off that alone i'm calling it. B10 Frosh of the year.

I saw Trey today. Looked good. Got a hair cut.

Take the basketball program out of it.  It’s nice, but probably out of whack for many.  We all lived in McNutt, the Villas, etc,, but college was a significant expense and you kind of expected to live a spartan existence.  But with the cost of tuition becoming absurd and disproportionate, the developers of Evolve, and no doubt places like it elsewhere, came up with a very smart business proposition.  Tuition goes up, hence student loans just keep driving up.  Take advantage of the situation by developing expensive luxury apartments for students who want amenities and can just put it on their tabs.  

 

There is a new 580 bed building going up now on Walnut, where the Motel 6 used to sit, that is going to match Evolve. Plenty of takers with Evolve always having a wait list. 3 more buildings going up around BTown along with this big one. I for one hope they build themselves into lower rent. Only so many bodies to fill all the housing.

I'm in. may need 2 leagues.

Big pick up here when you remember the NCAA waived who can give on court instruction for this season. Going to run out of sits on the bench if they keep making up jobs. lol.
