Miller did the right thing recruiting the commits. While Crean recruited them, they committed to IU. While Miller may have to tell a few current scholarship players to take a hike, but his first job was to keep everything together, and he did that. To compare him to Crean is ridiculous. The worst thing he could have done is come in and tell people they weren't good enough (meaning recruits and current players). That would have sent multiple players packing that he really needed to stay if he sent that message. He did the right thing, and there's no debating that!

Archie doesn't know what JBJ and TB are going to do. If he didn't try to get all 3 recruits to stay he could've been in a position where he loses OG, James and Tom, and then loses the 3 recruits too. He would be filling the rest of the roster out with table scraps. Sure, he put himself in the oversign position, but he was doing the best he could in a bad situation. It's nothing like what Crean did.

Imagine this board if: 1) We still hadn't hired a coach. 2) The OKC and Boston series keep going in the direction they're currently going.

Because there's a difference between putting yourself in a bad situation and having to handle a bad situation someone else put you in? You can try (unsuccessfully I think) to argue that Miller bears some culpability for something that could but isn't guaranteed to happen (this is so silly). But there is a difference between continually constructing your roster in such a way and having to make the best of someone else's roster construction philosophy. Your view is really simplistic and lacks nuance and understanding, either willfully or ignorantly.

Just seems like insurance. Nice to never worry about it I guess. Good PR move, and hopefully the rule never needs to be enforced.

Keion Brooks Jr., a class of 2019 SF playing for the Spiece Indy Heat (IN), announced that he has picked up an offer from Indiana. @patlawless Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Not "a" priority, "the" priority.

As has been mentioned, I'd put some decent money on Archie knowing more about the situation than any of us combined. Speculating is fun, but it seems irresponsible to be jumping to conclusions (either way) before this shakes out. Archie knows what's going on.

Let me know if anyone wants to go to the Nike EYBL session 2 in Indy April28-30. I plan on being there at least one day. CCG, Pap, OF if there are any new prospects that we haven't seen a lot of let me know of them and I will make it a point to watch their sessions Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Our first offer for this class and CAM's first.

Coach Schill has that watch what we are about to do smile going on.

Really, you don't? Crean did it every year (except for the year he should have called a press conference announcing a second rebuild). From what I've heard and read, Miller wanted to do as much as he could for continuity. Obviously, he knew about the oversign situation, and I still think he knows things we don't. What I'm saying is this is his first month on the job. Before we make sweeping comparisons of him and Crean, let's give him a season or two. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

A Memphis target signed with a Division II school. Feels Iike that just needed to be repeated. @robdauster Tough couple weeks for Tubby Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

How about we wait until we see what happens before making assumptions. These things always work themselves out and it doesn't appear that Arch is pushing anyone out the door. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As a father of 2 daughters who will likely go to college, I'm for anything that might help them be safer. Nothing is 100% failsafe when it comes to people's actions, but I can get behind a policy like this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol Izzo still wishes Crean was here. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

My only disagreement is he may well know what JB and TB are going to do. Or have a VERY educated guess. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Exactly. Not a single player is thinking about the NBA during little 5. Hell, little 5 is doing us a favor is trying to get them back. Maybe we need to hire pitino's girls to convince the boys to stay with little 5 being right now ?[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No idea but I can't see him leaving campus during Little 5 weekend, especially if he's leaving college.

@Jon_Blau: Former Notre Dame (Columbus North) guard Ali Patberg will visit IU this weekend. Michigan, Northwestern, MSU currently on her list. #iuwbb

Here we gooooo

I'm not even sure who Jerry Meyer is, I just "liked it" because you wrote "butt wipe"

I am a New Albany Bulldog. Don't think IU has had a Bulldog on their team since Paulie Poff and Frank Stemle on the 53 NCAA champs. Time to add another Bulldog and a national championship

No, I've made a couple here and there, but not much. Thanks for the kind words. Missed talking with everyone! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
