Me So Hornsby

I think it’s both. I think the talk that they’re both having “good” visits is good for us. There’s no “they knocked it out the park talk(at least yet) so i feel like this weekend probably doesn’t change much for us. But I don’t think either UCLA or KU are our biggest opponents for these guys. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I was a preteen running around the court acting like I was Bracey when he was here haha. Got yelled at in basketball practice for mimicking his free throw shot [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s not the point. Archie has had 6 months to build a relationship with these kids. That’s what matters. These other coaches have had YEARS, if you don’t think that puts at a disadvantage you are wrong. Archie and staff have done an amazing job to not only get the recruits they have, but to be in the running for these two. It’s a lot easier to sell 3-4 year kids on a vision than a 1-2 player. They need to see it right away. It’s okay to be disappointed if we lose out on both of these kids, but it’s pretty foolish to think we need to rethink the strategy completely because of it.

It just doesn’t seem like Romeo matters to the fans at all. Maybe it’s just the boards I’m seeing, but it’s like there’s no excitement for him being a target. They are just all in on Grimes. Plus there’s no Midnight Madness for them, there’s no football game that is going to be any good. I think that once he gets home and looks back at all the visits, we are gonna stand above. I know that’s not the only thing about a visit, but having 12k people cheering and going crazy for you is gonna stick. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Guys I don’t know if you realize it or not, but...... IT’S GAMEDAY!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

There’s one for everything lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Sounds like CH is out and possibly Al as well Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Social media team continuing to bring the [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91]. This is an underrated part of Archie’s recruiting, he is making us such a good presence on twitter/Facebook. I think recruits really look at that Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Before the last update yes, now I don’t. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

During the 11-12 season it was a blast. Lots of good convos on our boards, I do miss it haha. The mattjones Guy from Uk was the best after we beat them if anyone remembers that. So much fun Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Quick piggy back off of Yogi, this is by far my favorite board for any team or subject that I’m on. I stepped away for awhile because the fire Tom Crean stuff wore me out, but I’m glad to be back and participating more like when I first signed up. We need some E.L.E in here and to realize how lucky we are to have this place. Edit: I came from the good ol days of ESPN comment sections so I’ve seen the worst of the worst Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Holy cow some of you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today lol. Shake it off and go grab some coffee. I love Hoosier Guy and his posts. If you really think a kid is going to go on a forum and get upset by that you are gonna hurt your back from reaching too far. Lighten up and get back to talkin about stuff that actually matters.

We are lucky with Rabby and most of our reporters/writers they do not paint themselves into a corner with their words. Other people do though and will put out too much info and then whip up a frenzy. I think that was illustrated today. Nothing drastic changed from yesterday in my mind and I think we are still in the driver seat. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Vandy is gonna make a push and Darius is going to LA this weekend. After that, whoever did the best job should get the answer they want. I think we are right there, probably the leader but we are gonna have to wait a little bit. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Meh. I trust Rabby/Meyer over the Vandy guys. That dude was all over the place in that rant lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I swear everyone needs to drop the BD thing. Every time someone says something it’s “yea well Billy was coming here too”. Stop. It has absolutely no relevance to anything and does not help at all Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

There doesn’t seem to be too much craziness on twitter, but I imagine with the implosion on all the Vandy forums he was probably getting it from a few different areas. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Don’t you guys freak out about Darius’ tweet lol. That was to be expected. What ever the decision is, he will be the one to make it. I would do the same thing if I were him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Rivals is where I saw. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

There is a little bit of life out there lol. Not much at all though Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Chatter on the Vandy board that Darius has committed to IU but is waiting until after this weekends visit to announce. Take it with a grain of salt but thought it should at least be mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

He is 13 for 13 with an average of 1.62 days out for the year Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We really have no idea what an 18 year old kid is gonna do. But there is a possibility we hear something today and there is a possibility it’s weeks from now. I’d put my money on the next 48 hours personally though. Too much smoke for there not to be fire Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

So I just realized something, this year looks pretty close to 2011-2012. Tons of young talent, but not expected to do much. #1 team coming to Assembly hall in the non conference schedule. Super hyped up recruiting class coming in next year (although the movement pretty much flamed out). I know it doesn’t mean anything but it’s kind of cool. I could see us having a similar year to 11 and then being a top 5 team preseason next year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Looks like I’m going to be in my office “doing paperwork” today. I’m not getting a thing done Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
