Walking Boot of Doom

Archie was an undersized D1 PG and he's not connecting with someone like Luke Brown nor seeing the potential... something is off here. I'm sure there will be more to this and we'll learn more over the next year or so.

Class ranking really does not matter. Class balance and landing roles you need to fill matters. I see back to back McDAA and four year players. Archie is executing against his stated recruiting strategy. I want to see how that plays out over four years and then if he fails - well that says something about the strategy as well...

So he’s a bandwagon fan? None of his **** helps anyone but himself. He’s an egotiscal shock jockey who couldn’t cut it in the same roles he rips others for failing to deliver in. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You literally called out our recruiting results. Misses aren’t results. To quote Stu and others, “it’s about who you get not who you miss.” Archie really needs to make the tournament this year. I’d give him the four full years, but missing the tournament next year will make Assembly Hall and the fanbase miserable to deal with. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I guess I just don’t understand your perspective on recruiting results being a negative? Look at our classes under Archie. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Wayne - I think maybe that’s what it’s become for you. Based on class results, recruiting is arguably MORE stable and healthy than anything we saw under Crean outside of one or two classes. As of early summer 2019 (12+ months out), our 2020 class is up in the air. Any reasonable person saw that the 2020 Indiana class did not contain superstars and was going to likely be less heralded four year players, AND many recognize that that is okay! We’re clearly in good position with some top targets in 2021. No offense, but your negativity seems to be weighing the present far too heavily, discounting the past, and not appreciating the future potential. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Buzz off troll. Two years ago it’d be in-state recruiting is the most important thing to lock up. And Wayne - you’re convincing yourself of something that isn’t real. There’s always a couple people who think a kid (especially an Indiana kid) is the next unheralded star. I also see way more people bummed or saying “that kid is going to be really good” when we miss. That said, if we sign Trey, I will be excited. I want Archie to land his targeted four year prospects to create his program. Then we can worry about adding elite talent to take the team from a good tourney team to a contender. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Not since Archie has taken over? You recall that he signed Romeo Langford last year correct? And TJD this year? Of course last season was disappointing, but recruiting really hasn’t been an issue. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You’ve got yourself jaded Doc. People seem to approach almost all recruits outside of 5 and high 4 star prospects with a healthy dose of skepticism. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What’s the point in playing bad in-state teams versus bad out of state? Also, I think last year demonstrated win total carries a lot of weight. Get the damn wins and get into the tourney. 20 game B1G schedule isn’t helping anybody. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
