Speaking on the grad transfer thing. If it's so hard for grad transfers to come to IU why if we had five or six of them? Also we've recruited a bunch that have went to other place. Mooney at TT, Lee and Thompson that went to OSU, Albright that went to PU, etc. It seems like we've tried and have took advantage of the grad transfer rule in the past, but now it's an issue. Did we change the rules this year?

Seriously why are we not going after any Grad Transfers guards?

I wasn't trying to state it as a fact. I guess you have to put "in my opinion" in front of everything you say now so I'll try it again. In my opinion, based off what I hear from people I interact with in person and on social media a lot of them are starting to lose faith in Archie.

When did I say I speak for the IU masses? I was just giving my opinion based off what I see with our current situation. The only person overreacting is you overreacting to my post. I thought this was an IU Message Board where we could discuss our opinions about IU basketball?

It just makes no sense. We're probably only going to have 11 scholarship players next year. Possibly 10 depending on Hunter's health. Let's just say hunter can't go. That leaves us Rob, Green, Durham, Franklin and Anderson to cover the 1-3 spots. We still have no shooting threats at all. Unless these guys make tremendous strides we're probably going to be one of the worst 3pt shooting teams in the country again. I honestly think year 3 could be his worst year yet. Lets say we finish 17-15 next year with no postseason. Does Archie make it to year 4? Does he deserve a 4th year? Things are not moving in a positive direction right now IMO. It seems like recruiting has hit a huge wall. A lot of people are losing faith in Archie.

Lmao... the oh we didnt really want him anyway excuse. Archie is really dying on the recruiting trail. He hasn't shown he can produce NBA talent. He had a surefire top 5 pick and decided to stick him in the corner and now he's a fringe top 20 pick. He's having a horrible offseason. He hasn't been able to fill our biggest need which is shooting and we have no depth for our 1-3 spots. At this point we're probably going to have 2 open scholarships at the start of next season and we currently have 0 commits for 20.

Nose diving? Crean was one year removed from the sweet 16 and a Big Ten title when he was fired. CAMs 1st year he inherited a roster with Johnson, Morgan, Newkrik, Hartman, Smith, Durham, Green, etc. Most coaches would kill to start off with a roster with those type of players. I'll give him a pass in Year One because it takes time to implement his defensive system, but year 2 was a disaster! Coaches in the Big Ten ate him alive. Archie made a lot of bad decisions and adjustments. He did a really bad job coaching this team. After watching this year I'm done with being patient and having Blind Faith. In my opinion year 3 has to end with us making the tournament.

I agree 100%

What did he day about Romeo?

That's literally the first thing I thought when I saw it! why blue and white!!! lol

Seriously so that's your comeback. Because some of his guys are playing overseas and still making a lot of money. How many McDonald's all-americans have went to Duke, Kansas, North Carolina that aren't playing in the NBA right now or never made it to the NBA at all? How many guys has Archie Miller developed in to NBA Talent?

I wasn't just talking about national championships. He's got a national championship and multiple SEC championships. Plus I never said I wanted him as the coach of Indiana or wanted Indiana to be like Kentucky. I was just showing how Cal DOES prepare guys for the NBA

Im sorry I forgot to mention D'Aaron Fox, Jamal Murray, Eric Beldson, Willie Cauley Stein, DeMarcus Cousins, Kevin Knox, Julius Randle, Malik Monk, and on and on. Cal wins a lot of games, makes the tournament every year, goes to F4s, wins championships and sends players to the NBA, but hey keep pretending he does nothing for these guys and doesn't prepare them for the next level.

Seriously? Most of them on the bench? AD, Booker, KAT, Wall, etc. He is excellent at getting guys prepared for the NBA. If he wasn't top recruits wouldnt flock there every year. It would be hard to tell a kid to pass up an opportunity like that. Especially to go play for a coach who has never had a single player drafted in the NBA and hasn't help Romeo at all IMO.

Tom Jurich!
