We start 3 juniors, that’s plenty of age and experience Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Agreed. Making the tourney is pretty vanilla in terms of expectations in year 3 at Indiana There are 64/68 teams that make the tourney, it’s really not asking for much Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Same could be said for Brooks and IU Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s some real time, first hand info there... that’s nuts they have board members that close to his visit to share that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I won’t fault the staff if we don’t get him but he is our last shot at an instant impact player so if we had a shot at a few more we might still be in good shape but... We will be fine without him but a kid like this, added to the current roster is the difference between being an 8 seed that has an early exit to a 3 seed that makes a run. We’re close but need more talent Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We can but then he won’t come and in fact will come out later and say we weren’t even highly considered Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Well hopefully IU decides to show up against them this year Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This has been brought up a number of times but it wasn’t Sampson or the ncaa that destroyed IU it was McRobbie and the Indianan administration- we destroyed our own program. Had we not self reported and self punished and aired our dirty laundry and hired a guy hell bent on starting over from scratch with all walk-ons we would never have sunk to the depths we did. Iu built the blueprint for every other university on what not to do Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe, that’s a nicer thought than what I came up with, he did disappear around the same time as Jeffrey Epstein Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I haven’t read many posts in this thread so jumping in super late and uninformed, BUT want to say that Allen and the guys have had a great season and despite my objection to Glass’ approach to his hire, I’m really proud of what they’ve done this year. Had they not blown the MSU game this could go down as one of the best seasons ever Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It’s not you, I didn’t make it clear it was a joke Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I was kidding - he has likely made some money from basketball and perhaps saved it/shared it with mom but he certainly hasn’t made the money that mom thought he was going to and I would say his opportunity to do so is drying up quickly Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

She’s still laughing all the way to the bank Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yep, I think he should play in short spurts and when in, make every effort to get him the ball on the block to maximize his time on the court Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I have been conditioned not to get my hopes up with any aspect of Iu basketball - will be ecstatic and a little surprised if we close here Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As usual, it doesn’t say anything Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Kansas still in the mix after being hit with major violations... what kid and their parents say oh well and choose kansas anyway? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

What did I miss? Did he commit to Marquette? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That likely puts us on the bubble again Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That is a great set to be a part of, very winnable! Adding a guy like this could make a huge difference. He and TJD would make an awesome front line Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Neither the basketball team nor the football team has been to the postseason since 2016 and both have had losing records in conference since then and football losing record overall of course. We have to have faith because that’s all we have in looking at our programs under Glass and McRobbie. There is no consistent track record to say, well, we know they were good for 5 years in a row and proven that one down year will only be that. It’s the other way around and that every time we see a glimpse of something good, it’s gone. I’ve felt this trending up thing before in both sports, been geeked about what could be. I have nothing against Allen nor Archie, they were hired to do a job and they are doing it to the best of their ability, I do blame glass and McRobbie 100% It’s hard to not look up or trending positively when they’ve set the bar so low Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Jesus, his competition got to milestones ahead of the tortoise. So, in my analogy, they are getting to bowl games and final fours ahead of/faster than IU. The finish line for IU basketball is a championship but milestones are a good barometer along the way and others are getting there and we aren’t, at least not enough. The record under glass isn’t great Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

So when does this tortoise finally finish the race? I think we’ve all been patient. 11 years and counting to finish the race is a bit crazy and we are still nowhere near the finish line. I think it’s a great analogy because he keeps saying to be patient but until when? When does he think his tortoises will get there? There have been other programs on lesser history make bowls and final fours... those are the heirs passing us by As I’ve said a million times, we might get there but tooooo many fumbles along the way and his leash should be tightening Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It will be brought up by one poster for several years Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
