I’m absolutely shocked this needed explaining. Thanks for the assist 

TDH: When you think about your freshman season at Indiana, what does success look like to you?

Geronimo: I think a successful first year will be me just doing what I’m told. If I’m a role player, I’ll be the best role player there is. If I’m on the court for defense and rebounds, and I’m going to go out there and try to do as much as I possibly can. Just be the guy that the team needs to win. I just want to help the team get better. A team wins because it is better than a single player.

Yes, please.

Good. Men men shouldn’t be able to compete against girls.

Not quite the question, but I think the 2016 B1G Champion team gets very little appreciation.  It's weird since they were our last good, successful team.  I hear about the '13 team and the Syracuse zone and Zeller, Oladipo, etc, non-stop.  The '16 Team could get red hot.  Yogi is maybe my favorite player all time.  The guys really seemed to like each other.  Attitude and maturity and fire at the same time.  And yeah, they won the B1G that year at 15-3.  
 
Also, Yogi.  5* PG from Indiana, played 4 years, played on the '13 and '16 teams.  All-Time Assists leader.  6th in Scoring?!  Check out some of the guys he's in front of.  You know the rest of the B1G was sick of that guy.  
 
Also I didn't remember Coverdale getting so many steals.  Top Ten?  Same team, I always think of Newton and Jeffries playing together, and how well it worked.

Latest thoughts from Corey Evans -
Can I cheat and say that Khristian Lander will reclassify into the 2020 class as my commitment prediction? I kid, but I do expect that to happen before another decision pops Indiana's way.  Currently, Lander and three-star center Logan Duncomb make up Indiana’s top-five 2021 class. Archie Miller would love to add another good-sized scoring wing and a versatile forward in the frontcourt. 
Blake Wesley and Aminu Mohammed fit the bill along the perimeter while Trey Patterson and Trey Kaufman hit their target at the 4-spot.  I know there is some talk that Kaufman is holding out for a Kentucky offer and that Virginia is also a sneaky contender, but I like where the Hoosiers sit with him.  Maybe he holds off from committing but I like IU’s chances and would say that he is the next to say yes to Miller's program.

Another nice story on Geronimo including:   He holds nearly a 4.0 grade point average at St. Paul’s, one of the most academically rigorous boarding schools in New England.

I'd argue that our schedule last year was set up perfectly to maximize our change of getting to the tournament. We were a young, growing team and our schedule gave us many opportunities to beat very solid teams.

Not long after Lander committed I responded to something Harmon tweeted about Mohammed with something along the lines of, “Lander and Mohammed would be the kind of backcourt that wins NC’s.” Harmon liked it and responded, “yes it would.”
One other thing: putting the whole “guardian” thing aside, Harmon seems like a pretty decent guy. I responded to something he tweeted mentioning that I had driven down from St Louis to watch the kid play and what an impressive player he is. Harmon DM’d me thanking me for making the trip down. Had no reason to. Very gracious of him.

Here's a teaser from the link:  “He (Miller) thinks that if they can add Aminu to go along with (2021 point guard commit) Khristian Lander, he thinks that would be one of the most talented backcourts in the country,” Mohammed’s guardian Shawn Harmon told The Daily Hoosier.

Seal the deal Archie.  Side note:  Am I the only one that would love to be able to sit through a virtual visit?

Short nugget from today on Coyle and Leary -
Leal said that he has constantly been recruiting Trey Kaufman, even when Bloomington South played Silver Creek during the season.  "Yeah of course. Whenever we played Silver Creek I would talk to Trey [Kaufman]... He texted me after I won the award and congratulated me and I told him ‘and you’re going to make it number 4’ next year."

He mentioned that him, Trey Galloway and Jordan Geronimo have a group chat and stay in contact frequently. Said all three can't wait to get moved in and on the floor together.

“Their academics are top notch, along with most Big Ten schools. Their facilities are top notch. They’re probably the best facilities I’ve seen. The culture there, the atmosphere in games, the atmosphere around campus, I love it,” Duncomb told Peegs.com this season about IU.

The facilities comment stood out to me. Archie has made that a priority over the past few years and it seems to be paying off.
