Right on, looking forward to seeing him develop but not sure what judgy comments you are referring to... a few people said he was skinny and he is.... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If we end up 10th, something went majorly wrong and will be back in the dumps on IU basketball again. There is no reason IU should ever be that low in the conference. It should be an anomaly when we fall out of the top 5. If we aren't top 5, I hope we are damn close this season, it's not like there isn't talent on this roster Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

They say Archie is a good coach but then rank us that low. Our roster isn't loaded by any means but it could/should be top 5 if coaching is as good as advertised Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The whole thing pisses me off. Boeiheim, Williams, Calipari, Pitino, all have this too big too fail, untouchable air about them and it's disgusting. They should all be barred from coaching and have everything they've accomplished wiped from the books. They have completely ruined the game we all love and the worthless NCAA has allowed them to do it Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Always liked Brey, not surprised he is hauling in a good class Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I've read that here too. Might be true but hope we don't regret backin off later and by then it's too late. Only seen video but seems to be a special talent. If we are landing a whole class better than him we are all going to be ecstatic! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, missed the "besides Indiana" part when he mentions schools prioritizing him. Glad to see. Jallow though, seems like a great get early on that would be a beast down the line for us. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Doesn't sound like we are prioritizing him or Jallow and cannot understand why Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This kid seems like he could be a one and done, would be pleasantly surprised if we end up in the hunt at the end. Seems like he likes every blueblood with the others being top of mind for him Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We have to win the battles against the likes of OSU, BU, UM, PU etc right away to have any chance of competing with U.K., UofL, Duke etc in the next year or two Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

There is zero chance he didn't know Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This actually came close to happening a few times. McCleod vouched for Williams and williams committed without Crean ever evaluating him in person and then the kid that transferred to San Diego st got an offer and committed after Crean recruiting him for a week and Crean only attending 1 practice Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Holtmann is a great hire for them, wouldn't have been disappointed had he came here Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Like what? Duke, U.K., UNC? If holtmann thinks he can snag one of those jobs then he should hold out, but if not, OSU is in that next tier, it's a top 25 program that plays in one of the best conferences. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Got it. The posts were ridiculous but missed the ones attaching another poster/family. Well it was fun while it lasted. If that was really him, that is pretty sad. Him knowing his middle school cross country time was a little strange Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You booted him? This was the most entertainment we've here since Archie came aboard Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You are digging back up an argument that was made months ago but will make one last response to it. I am not a trainer but worked with trainers in my playing days a lot and there is 100% a different knowledge and skill that is needed to train athletes of different sports. We had a different trainer than the football team and went through a different training regiment than them for a reason. Marshall may be able to adapt his knowledge to translate to basketball but there is no denying he has spent the vast majority of his work with football players (HIS bio on his website the day before he took the IU basketball job did not even list basketball as a highlight/core competency but mentioned football a gazillion times). Again, he may do great by our guys but there are trainers that have specialized in basketball for just as long as he has specialized in football and I was surprised we didn't go after one of those guys instead.

Well not that much difference between Memphis and Dayton historically so kinda crazy that he could get that talent there when Archie had to settle for top 300 kind of guys Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Was Cody the opposite? I don't have the numbers but thought he always tried to list lower than he was as to not be seen as a 7 footer to avoid playing the 5 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think he will be alright too, just going to struggle a bit adapting to a bigger role with way more minutes and little support at the 5. There was a prediction of "15 &. 8" that I had responded to. Those numbers are all conference type numbers and I don't see that at all. If he does 10 & 6 I will be happy and surprised Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think he is going to struggle. He's never played big minutes and is foul prone. Knowing those things and that he has no backup, teams are going to go at him all season. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

MJ? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe Trendon will do. Curious if his friends already call him **** Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

About time! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Well sure, there are likely high quality guysvthat focus on basketball and high quality guys that focus on football, not sure why it's either or. Anyway, he will likely be good, I'm going to trust Archie until he f's up Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
