Are you paying attention to what he's done since he got here??
IU needed Cody Zeller, but you HAVE to know (and be objective about it) that Indiana was in a far different position then than they are now.  Come on, man.  That's a bad example.  Romeo chose Indiana over Kansas.   A program with plenty of stability.   Phinisee had lots of offers too.  So did Hunter.  Fitzner had plenty of suitors.  Not sure why you're acting as though Indiana is some broken mess and the sky is falling?
But you're wrong about his job.  That's a part of his job.  His job is to be the custodian of one of the most visible sports entities in the country.  His job is to win. How he does that is not up to you.  It's up to him.  I gave many examples earlier of programs that went a long way and won conference championships without the benefit of 5* recruits.  But okay, I'll play (and because I've been close to this process, I feel like I have a good handle on it). 
From the perspective of a recruit :  Indiana has terrific facilities whether you believe that or not.  One of the largest on campus arenas in the country.  Their conference has its own network, and Indiana is still a bell cow in that conference.  We're on national TV all the time.  We've got several former players in the NBA; one of whom has come back to the state and is in the same league as Reggie Miller and Peyton Manning from a PR standpoint; we have dozens of engaged, loyal alumni players who will do anything for the kids and a few of those - maybe as many as any school in the country - are or have been NBA COACHES; we have a top flight business school; plenty of money; and the best technology you'll find anywhere.   Leave alone the tradition and the titles you don't think matter.  They do; but let's say they don't.   Based solely on what you know so far about Archie Miller; why is your attitude so negative?   His system is proven....just not here yet.  Why are we recruiting at a higher level than Purdue or Iowa?  Programs with coaches who have been there a long time?   Maybe tradition DOES matter.  Or maybe recruits DO see Indiana the way you want them to.
We scrimmage at Hoosier hysteria and have drop ceilings. Those are 2 negatives.

That's unbelievable, what a moron this guy is. You say that to a 5* recruit. Wow!

There were a few more in that thread but couldn’t get it to copy. One said to get his minutes elsewhere, they didn’t want him, another said he wasn’t a priority. These are tweeted to Keion smh

IUs athletic facilities are not amongst the elite in Collegiate Athletics but look at the improvement since just the early 2000s? Marketable difference!

Trainers as well. Cliff Marshall is known as a top-notch trainer and Dave Ballou was the physical conditioning coach at Avon when I was attending. During his tenure, Avon won the Ben Davis lift competition 4 or 5 years in a row and produced some monsters on the football field. One kid that was a year behind me posted a 590 squat, 395 bench, and 270 clean at the beginning of his senior year.

For a basketball school to have middling facilities is unacceptable. IU struck gold with the knight hire and has been living off of his legacy for twenty years. The rhetoric does not match the actual level of investment. 

THat was before the brand new locker room. Not end all be all, but that should knock us up to top 4
