  1. Granted all I've seen is highlights, but he seems to be flying under the radar. I was impressed with what I saw and he seems to be the perfect banger type that works in Archie's system. I would be happy to get him, especially knowing we potentially can fill 6 scholarships (even though it will more likely be 4-5)
  2. Think Henry will get an offer on his visit?
  3. I really want this kid and looks like we have a great shot at him
  4. I wouldn't count them out at all. They have a former NBA head coach who is pulling in talent, not to mention that's where he's from. Sometimes the home state school wins out no matter how bad they have been. I know the Watford family follows Alabama football closely too so I won't be surprised at all if he ends up there.
  5. I'll never understand how this is allowed. It's just free recruiting for Calapari to get a leg up on everyone else.
  6. That's always the toughest thing about recruiting. Say Phinisee wants to commit now, but we hold out for Garland/Carey and potentially miss on all 3. It's just a hypothetical, but I'm glad I don't have to make decisions like that because I'm sure it happens often.
  7. That's fine, and I see your point. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one though
  8. I guess I just see it differently. I'm not going to magically forget UL won that title because it says vacated, and I would venture to guess a lot of others won't either. As far as Pitino goes, I think boosters would be more upset with their future team success being in doubt without its title winning coach and loss of scholarships.
  9. My take is this. If the big punishment for them is to vacate a title, they're getting off as easy as they could. UL just says "Okay" and goes on conducting business as usual. A real punishment would be for Pitino to get fired/suspended for a year and losing 3-4 schollies for a few years. That says more than pretending to lose something they played for.
  10. Vacating something is like saying "oh yeah, remember those guys playing and winning a NC? Forget that, they were never there." Nobody is going to forget UL won it on the court. So "taking away" a NC is nothing. Everyone knows they earned it through play. The issue is HOW they got those players in the first place. So simply taking it away isn't a punishment at all really.
  11. Meh. Pitino should've been fired for this. Vacating wins doesn't do anything. I don't care what anyone says, Pitino knew about this in some way or another.
  12. Yeah 2018 is really hard to gauge right now. We seem to be in the top 4-5 with a lot of recruits, but none of them are giving off a real "IU is the leader" vibe. At this point I have no idea what our class is going to look like and wouldn't be surprised with quite a few different scenarios.
  13. Yeah I'm excited about our future, but if Lagow is QB we'll have a mediocre season imo.
  14. I want him for his name..no other reason :)
  15. Love this new approach from Archie and staff. It's refreshing. Crean would have been foaming at the mouth to throw this kid an offer.
  16. This game is so hard to watch. Just terrible call after terrible call
  17. Commitments in football don't mean squat. It's why I don't pay attention to it
  18. Clifton will be a beast in a few years. He needs to add muscle and quickness, but those handles and stroke for a guy that's 6'10 could land him in the NBA at some point.
  19. I'm with you here. I would've been disappointed if he became IU's coach, but OSU also has lower expectations than us. Could be a good hire
  20. Told my buddies before the game the NBA wasn't going to let the cavs get swept. Watch how physical the cavs are allowed to be against steph and KD off ball and on ball.
  21. Yeah, he hasn't had a great AAU showing this year. I wouldn't put a ton of stock into all-star games though. Guys are generally less focused and just trying to make flashy plays.
  22. I can't believe this is allowed. It's a recruiting advantage if there ever was one. Ridiculous.
  23. The one part of games I don't miss. It was so stressful trying to keep your spot in line and get seats.
  24. Don't forget assembly!
