It’s the passion and intensity this program needs.

I’m pretty sure it really is.

I also think Indiana should utilize the baseline more with a 4-1 set... you can do so much if a player is running baseline. Back cuts, back screens, ball movement, and open shots because when you’re constantly moving behind the action it’s easy to be lost.

If Lewis is the guy they want to be coach in waiting we can pay him what he would make as a kid major head coach and tell him every couple years we will give you a raise to make sure you’re happy. Especially since we aren’t paying Woodson nearly what we would’ve paid top coaches so we can absolutely get donors to chip in if they believe Lewis is the guy in waiting and Lewis wants to be the guy in waiting to where he won’t bounce after 4-5 years.

If I understand the rules correctly Brunk doesn’t actually count towards our scholarship count

Thanks

Is that good or bad?

What kind of competition is he facing

Isn’t that only a certain period though? I feel like I’ve heard recruits say they talk daily to a team. Maybe it was CJ Gunn who said it about IU. Someone might be able to answer better than I.

I don’t like we are talking to him only 1-2 times a week. In my mind it should be minimum 4-5.

So two faced ugh

And what bothers me is the guy who interviewed CJ Gunn after his announcement let Leary say those things.

I agree and disagree. I could def see that being part the case but 247 also shows who the lead recruiter is and it was Coach O wayyyy more than Cam.

And his arms are impressively long. His wingspan has to be 7-3 to 7-4

And it clearly made a difference. Maybe Archie recognizes this and changed his style up a little bit to get more recruits.

They probably double teamed him the entire time too

Yeah I was dumb and didn’t read all of the comments first 😂😂😂

Except if Armaan isn’t ready for NBA then he gets an extra year so Gunn will then be a sophmore

I agree but I’m saying it’s ok if CJ Gunn isn’t a pure shooter because of his ability to drive.

The thing is next year I think Leal is our deadly shooter... plus we have Stewart who can also shoot em... we need a guy who is just a complete stud at driving and it will open up the 3s for Leal and Stewart and evening RP.

To me Kaufman is the only one in Indiana that we lost out on. We ended up recruiting nobody else in Indiana besides him. We stopped on Furst and Wesley. Isn’t the quote get old and stay old? I’d rather have a 22 year old player with two years of eligibility who has had success in the ACC and now has motivation to make his dad proud compared to a freshman that has to adjust to being in college for the first 2 years potentially before he makes an impact. I understand Lander is in the 2020 class because he reclassified but we didn’t recruit his position in 2021 because he reclassified early so there wasn’t a need for it. We also lost a coach right in the middle of recruiting that hurt us in recruiting some out of state players and hunter didn’t have time to make a difference on 2021 class. We can get 2 more grad transfers after we see our needs because trust me Kids will transfer since they are guaranteed to be able to play immediately without a waiver. So just wait to see what transfers we get before judging if the class was a fail. The problem with IU fans is they want results Now Now Now. Recruiting is Hard y’all. Also we want shooters and need shooters yet the top guys in Indiana are not shooters. It can’t go both ways to say recruit Indiana high school players first but we have to get shooters. The “shooters” in the class of 2021 didn’t even get power 5 offers. If Archie took Luke Brown who went to Stetson people would complain he is now pulling a Crean and then it wouldn’t leave open spots for guys like Stewart to come in late. Also. There is so much behind the scenes stuff that none of us even know about. Corrupt things still happen, kids get in trouble and it’s never released to the public, kids change their mind, parents influence the decision. I guarantee none of us could do better and we would all be fired by now. Also don’t y’all realize if we fire our coach that we start all over again. Next year will be the first year that Archie has HIS guys only and that’s assuming Durham doesn’t stay. Archie in year 5 and 6 will be better than whatever coach is here in year 1 and 2 and then y’all will complain again for wanting a coach after year 4 if that player doesn’t have success. Can you imagine if Villanova gave up on Jay Wright or Duke gave up on Coach K after 4 years? Or Virginia gave up on Tony Bennett after they lost to a 16 seed.

Just because they are high rated doesn’t mean they are worth getting. Furst got absolutely dominated by Duncomb. You really think that Furst is that good? If he is #2 ranked Indiana high school player then it’s a complete down year.

To me I’ll take Duncomb 7 days a week over Furst. I think the only person worth recruiting in the 2021 class was Kaufman. Furst is big and scores points but that’s in high school. To me he is going to be overwhelmed and outmatched and not be that good in the big ten. So Purdue is up 1-0 on Indiana recruits this year only and as good as Kaufman is I might want an older grad transfer like Stewart compared to a freshman Kaufman. Stewart doesn’t come here if Kaufman is here IMO

Don’t forget a 2022 can always reclassify to fill those voids. To me unless Brunk doesn’t want to play overseas he comes back next year to showcase himself

You are spot on sir
