That was close. Nobody snitched on the water bottle thrower. Cops are still in the crowd and everywhere here to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yeah I was a year ahead of him. I couldn’t have got away with the things Sean did in school. It’s kind of funny in a way, but Sean was our Luke Brown. Our town was the same way. With Kramer it just wasn’t as big of a deal. But RMK coming to your gym versus a young Painter. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Not sure if this was at me since we were just talking prior. I guess you can if that makes you feel better. I don’t plan on boasting back at you on this subject. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yes because of his size, speed, and competition. It didn’t add Louisville when talking about IU and PU. It said he has suitors like IU and PU. He does play at a high level but he picked a bad year. 2021 is absolutely loaded in this state. It said he watched a Louisville game in person (6 other recruits were at). It didn’t say how IU and PU were suitors (they haven’t been watching him). I have seen nothing that says either team is interested in him. IU has quite a few guards with size that Archie is after. I see us getting Wesley. I personally wouldn’t look too much into one game. I saw Sean Kline light up Zach Randolph right after ZBO’s gun charge to win sectional in 1999. Sean had like 36 and 20. We hadn’t beat Marion in years. Sean had a great game. I just think putting too much stock in one game with a thought of the type of player without watching it is dangerous. There is a strong reason why no national analyst has him on their radar. They are at every event LB was at. These coaches are at every AAU tournament without a single offer or any high major team recruiting him. I hope the kid goes to a situation where can have a Bryce Drew type of career at a mid major. That would be fantastic. I think CM gets drafted and plays MLB. Not all bad. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

In that article it discusses “suitors”, and discusses IU and PU. It doesn’t say how they are suitors. Then follows up with they would watch him if it weren’t for baseball. They aren’t watching. If being a suitor means we are involved then we are involved with a lot of kids. There have never been reports that IU explicitly watched Montgomery. Much like they haven’t explicitly watched Luke Brown. It’s hard in this state for our assistants or head coaches to not be noticed when they watch kids. 2021 is loaded in this state. We may recruit CG or LB. We haven’t yet. It’s more likely CG gets drafted in MLB draft than him getting an offer from IU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.daytondailynews.com/sports/archie-miller-hopes-mckinley-wright-sticks-with-dayton/hdY9qBRD1UUS9iHUTNRkuL/amp.html There is the article on what he said to Dakich. McKinley Wright the day before that article had an interview with Darren Wolfson saying he had a spot on IU if he wanted it. https://mobile.twitter.com/DWolfsonKSTP/status/846480341565091841 Al and Clifton are only two that requested a release from LOI. Justin Smith did not. Therefore we could not kick him off of the team. We could have granted their release. We could not have openly recruited McKinley Wright due to him being signed but he knew he had a spot if he wanted. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.indystar.com/amp/100069540 Al and Clifton recommitted the first week of April and McKinley Wright was towards the end of April if my memory serves correct. If we had a spot for McKinley that he is openly discussing that would mean he chose someone else. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You give me Alaska, Cheese, and Nips, and we will have fun lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree. I often think he is the most interesting man alive. That and he lives about 30 from my family in southern Florida. Who wouldn’t want to visit nips? Plus Naples. I know nips is rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hey man, I have seen pics of him. If he can say to my face what he wants to say I would be cool with him. I legit go down to Cape Coral twice a year so I have no problems stopping in to say hey. Plus I need to go out with Nips fishing. Who doesn’t enjoy Gulf fishing? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Nips has been wanting to go fishing. Maybe you could come with us. He has been trying to get me to go for years. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Nice! I could even fly my wife in. Two birds one stone. Hope you come out. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

My bad. I don’t control the vacations. My wife does. Clearwater? Venice? Tampa? Don’t matter. I am coming in like I do every year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ha, Josh I am heading down to Cape Coral in July and I would be more than happy to discuss on my way through further if you want. Like I have no legit problem going 20 minutes out of my way to talk. I would even give you dates if you want. Since I would only be 2 hours out I give you a week window if you want. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No matter how I feel about Josh I shouldn’t have put him on blast for that. That was wrong of me. Peace out. Go Hoosiers! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don’t disagree we have looked “bad”. How we have looked is exactly like a 7-10 seed in the tournament. If we looked “good” like everyone is expecting we would be a top 4 seed. I would agree that would be optimal, but it was never the reality of this team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I guess what were you expecting this year differently? I thought the team would be better within their roles which I thought was limited. RP, Green, and Davis have disappointed. Smith has played better in a Small ball 4 role. Brunk has impressed me versus his game last year. TJD was better than advertised. Al is who he is. I guess I always anticipated these issues based on who and how he was recruiting. But my thing always has been he has to make the tourney. Same as a lot of people. That hasn’t change other than a few people in uproar over the last two games. You guys can say it’s not over the last two losses, but then where was this uproar to this level prior? When was this thread started. This 100% comes down to how we have played over the last two games for some. I don’t get it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is it irrational to wait and see how the year plays out without this kind of uproar over two losses? I mean didn’t most everyone on this board agree they wanted to see improvement and that improvement was making the tourney? If we don’t make the tourney I agree with you. I think most everyone said as much prior to the season except Josh. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don’t even know what I can discuss anymore. If it doesn’t have a negative slant it’s not something I can bring up? I figured after a few days we could all rationally discuss what’s going on. I was wrong. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree we had cupcakes, but 11-3 is our record no? If we finished the season 20-11 would they take 7 wins out because our fanbase deemed them not worthy? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Have to win the games we should if we are going to make the tournament. We better make the tournament. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yep that is the collective belief. It was that way before we lost two games. Then people lost their **** like that’s the end of the season. Some just wait for a loss. It’s been that way since he was hired. Some are just frustrated because they wanted us to be further along last year. We are 11-3. They are fully able to make the tournament. If they don’t I think a change should be made. I don’t necessarily believe a change would happen. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
