    Facts are my agenda.  Facts disagree with this story.  What's your agenda?

    You did this with USPS and now with Chris007 - you're assuming you know the facts while credible individuals are disputing your 'facts'. Nothing is ever as clear to us outsiders, so I don't know how you can assume you know this to be true.

    A little digging (explainations above) also provide a pretty clear and plausible explanation for Gelon. As for LOI's, who knows, but it's a pretty tough look if the kids wanted to remain committed to pull the rug out from under them in the late spring when Archie came on.

    Arky hardly played anyone though coming into this game. Best win before this was at Georgia Tech. No one on their schedule so far was a tourney team. 

    SOS is accounted for in these metrics. We'll see how it plays out, but they're now 11-1 with a Q1 road win against us, a tourney team as of now.

    Saying they aren't good is inaccurate. Didn't call them a world beater either.

    I mean ND had a lot of parallels to last night, I don't want to get involved in your back and forth with TX, but we blew big leads in both of those games, just Arkansas is quite a bit more athletic and got hot in the second half, which ND did as well but we were able to take advantage of our size down low late unlike last night.

    I also saw someone mention Arkansas is not a good team - this is just not accurate.

    KenPom has them ranked #32 and they are somewhere in the top 30ish rang last I saw in NET.

    It's all hearsay.  Just like the rumor that the money was there for Fonovan, but McRobbie didn't want an expensive coach.

    Show the money and they will come.

    But the idea that we can throw enough money to make this place attractive is factual? Regardless of money, there wasn't even initial interest from names that would require big money. 

    Again, there's a much bigger problem that is clear to most coaches. We aren't getting calls from the Pitino's of the world anymore.

    Said the same thing after another game, but 11-2.

    Unfortunately, Devonte has not grown. Phin has not shown up this year, but I still have confidence he'll be an excellent upperclassmen. TJD potential departure is a major concern. Going to take big improvements from Al, Phin, and Armaan for us to have success this year and next.

    Everybody has a price.  Come on man.  You may be happy with mediocrity,  but some of us are not.  We ain't getting anywhere with Archie.

    What big names were even mentioned? Holtman and Marshall were probably the only other two legitimate names that came up.

    This is ridiculous.  Archie said in his introductory press conference that HIS top recruiting priority was in-state.  The idea that a fanbase has any influence is myopic nonsense.

    This couldn't be more wrong. This fanbase truly believes the only way for us to get back to greatness is the inside out approach. Lack of in-state recruiting was probably the top factor for Crean losing the fans outside of the inconsistency.

    IU played Kentucky at neutral sites for over a decade. I see nothing wrong with going back to that set up. Rotate it between Lucas Oil and the YUM! Center.

    Neutral site games are trash. There’s no Wat Shot magic if it’s played in Lucas Oil. 
     

    Happy to mix in a neutral site game when you make it a unique and exciting location - an hour up the road from your campus is just pointless. 
     

    Even playing it in some tiny historic high school gym would be a cool event.

    I'll never understand posters who lob insults at people who they disagree with.  That only shows pettiness.

    It's possible to debate without belittling the other side.  It's possible to disagree without insulting.  Name calling to me shows an inherent lack of intelligence.

    You’ve lobbed a few yourself. There are some on this board that have earned it.

    There just doesn’t seem to be much motion to our offense, certainly not useful motion - it’s standing or jogging motion and an occasional screen off the ball.

    I am no basketball genius but that seems flawed. How do we ever become a fluid offensive team if we aren’t even attempting to constantly get our guys open and wear teams out?

    We need guys who are consistently a threat from three. Plain and simple. Until then, it’s easy to clog the lanes and double our bigs.

    DeBoer seems like a good dude and I appreciate what he did in his one season, but I wonder if it wouldn't just be best to part ways now? He's gonna be half-IU and half-Fresno State from here till the bowl is over. No offense to him, but I think I'd rather have someone who's 100 percent all in to IU. ... A few years back, Kiffin wanted to stay at Bama for their playoff run after taking the FAU gig. After a while, Saban could see it wasn't working and cut him loose. I can't help but wonder if that wouldn't be the wisest course of action for us, too? ... That way, DeBoer can get on with the next phase of his career -- and we can have someone fully committed to the task at hand.

    We have nothing to lose let the man play.

    Roth was a good enough shooter to play literally anywhere in college. It made up for any other shortcomings. Zeisloft was successful on a B1G title team, Roth could have been as well.

    Zeisloft was a far better defender and had other elements to his game beyond catch and shoot.

     

    This is so friggin old, and the last person on earth I want to have a pointless discussion about pointless things is Joe DeBlow. Happy holidays.

    That's great to hear.  Not at all surprising, but great to hear.   Will be interesting because I think Indiana is in a position to attract someone who may come unexpected.

    Yeah I could disagree with NoLa Hoosier more - we attracted Kalen DeBoer after a disappointing year and now we’re coming off one of our best years ever with 2 (maybe 3?) starter caliber QBs, a potential 1,000yd+ RB, strong WR and TEs, and a good OL?
     

    We have an excellent sales pitch.
