5fouls Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 So, let me ask the opinion of the board. I get the feeling that an event like Hoosier Hysteria is not Archie's type of thing. How does everyone feel about his cutting the scrimmage short for a recruiting 'obligation' that I would assume could have been scheduled for another time? Is this real, or just an excuse to cut it short? I mean, there are no games of any sort going on this time of year. What kind of 'obligation' had to be done today at at time that interfered with the event? For me, cutting the scrimmage short due to being shorthanded with the injuries is something I understand. But, the recruiting 'obligation' mentioned doesn't seem right for the fans that made the effort to come out and support the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePaulieWalnuts Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Has IU ever had a season where someone wasn’t injured? Seems like this is a thing every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have a hard time believing CAM actually "left the building" with his top 2-3 recruiting talents in attendance. I suspect he cut the scrimmage short to prevent more injury, or the scrimmage wasn't looking all that great. Or both... IDK cause I wasn't there, but that seems logical to me.

Just my opinion- they put on a show today and a lot of work went into it. The time spent with the fire alarm might have had more to do with it. IU fans want to win and we need the players. GO recruit Archie! Bringing Calbert back today was awesome and more of a connection to a southern player than some one that KU brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but that does not appear to be Archie's style. Anything to do with injury, the whole U is paranoid about talking about due to loony tune HIPPA regs.

Just judging by the look on his face after he introduced Calbert and he (Calbert) said he wanted some walk-out music like everyone else and then did a little shimmy when the DJ started the music.....CAM had a "you gota be $h!t3n me look on his face". 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, when the message is 'recruiting obligation', it sounded as if there was a deadline he had to meet. What deadline is there for a group of kids who are there watching the scrimmage? They were still going to be there 20 minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Ballin Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 And i gota say, a couple of years ago CAM walked recruits across the floor and got his hand smacked. Last year he walked them up and set them in a "special section". This year, im pretty sure he snuck them in Mexican druglord style, cuz while I think I saw Leal, it was just dumb luck and there was NO fanfare for ANY recruit. Kinda dissapointing. If Lander was there, he didn't have his normal.....easy to spot hair cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, dbm can be negative at times, but there was nothing wrong with his post. He made an observation and an opinion, which is the purpose of a message board.
