For me it suggests that Archie is looking for one 6'4"-6'5" hard-nosed swingman type player. A guy like Jallow (who apparently is not showing well lately) Anderson, or Henry (who are apparently both starting to rise considerably). As for Hemenway, 15/6/3 while a soph on a senior dominated team and the same team as a senior Nunge is pretty strong. We will have five spots to fill. It feels like we are looking at two ball-handling guards (Langord, Garland, Phinisee, E Hunter, Carey), one swingman (Jallow, Ayala, Anderson, maybe Henry), and two stretchy bigs (Johns, Swider, J Hunter, Thompson). Since we are looking to replace RoJo, Josh, Freddie, and Collin, that makes sense to me, and would seem to leave us with a talent upgrade when the day is done.

So, what did you think of Henry and Hemenway?

Here's a must watch to get a recent sense of two potential new IU recruits in a game setting. It will also remind y'all just how fantastic Indiana High School basketball is. It's the two months ago state semi-final showdown between Castle, featuring Jack Nunge ('17 Iowa), #22 in the black uniform, and a very impressive Alex Hemenway ('19, maybe IU), #12 in black, versus Ben Davis, featuring Aaron Henry ('18, maybe IU), #50 in white. Enjoy!

2019 Castle SG Alex Hemenway to visit IUBB this week. He's a Hoosier in the making if he's good enough.

Seems like an excellent hire for OSU.

YES!!!!!

Chris Jent? Mike Brown?

Assembly Hall will be in full effect versus a Duke team that will feature as starters: Three (highly regarded) freshmen One sophomore who barely played as a freshman due to focus and immaturity issues A senior guard who is incredibly infamous for immaturity issues Love it. Love it. Love it.

Very classy response. The contrast between your take on this and Boucher's is striking...and not surprising.

The mods (dalton was ensuring board rules remained enforced) deleted the post. It was a random, silly, vulgar potshot at you. Done.

Gotta be. The buck stops right there.

Methinks that Terri Moren may not be all that excellent a coach to play for.

Has the complete feel of an absolute, unmitigated, behind the scenes trainwreck.

Fixed it for 'ya.

Were you his math teacher? I heard he's reasonably good at math.

That calculates out to a 5:17 pace for 1.86 miles. It's not five thugs at once, but it's not DeAndre Thomas either! :)

The over is one thug.

No, he won't. Archie Miller just signed a long-term contract to be the head coach of a blue blood B1G basketball program. Because of this, he is pretty much the least available coach in the entire country. Betcha can't name many big-time coaches that are less available than Archie Miller. I'd guess Popovich, Coach K, Calipari, Pitino, Roy, Self, Izzo, Steve Kerr are currently less available. I'm sure that there a few more that could be added to the list, but that's about it.

Yikes...what a month for your family. Hope it turns out okay - thoughts are with you.

Heck, that's nothing: Our very own BtownBanners poster Uspshoosier has literally been given TENS OF THOUSANDS of letters from acclaimed universities.

Wow! I take it all back - that's awesome news. Congrats to Austin, and pleeeeeeeeeease keep posting!

^^Silliness^^

Lyonel Anderson was the wrong choice, but it was entirely because of the 'hyper-maniacal/wanna be coach' attitude. His physical training techniques seemed to get real results.

Don't know exactly why with Bowen, but I do know that a player of that ability and ranking doesn't stay uncommitted for this long without there being a significant backstory.

Agreed! It is good fun to speculate on the implications of roster decisions, but we hired the man with the expectation that he is gonna know what he is doing and will make excellent judgement calls. As far as everyone being fine with Archie, that will last exactly until he loses a few in a row or runs a crappy in-bounds play! :)
