    Then why do you pull for IU basketball? IU has cheated and probably will continue to cheat in basketball. I think the overall point is, we have no moral high ground to stand on. IU is just cleaner than Duke, UNC, UK, KU, and Arizona  
    If cheating is cheating, like you said, then a minor rule break is the same as FedEx boxes of cash (UK). How do you feel about Vonleh rolling around Bloomington in a new expensive car? What about players getting visa gift cards for spending money? These are the rumors about our program. Just like duffel bags of cash to UK recruits, funneled through NBA agents are rumored about Calipari.
    If cheating is cheating, then are you worried about Archie? His brother is caught up in this Adidas/FBI scandal. Archie was an assistant under his brother and it would be naive to think he doesn’t or didn’t know how the recruiting game was being played. If he didn’t tell on his brother to the NCAA, wouldn’t that be cheating? You told the ref in your indoor soccer game that the goal was actually good, because if you didn’t that’s cheating.
    You must also not want Romeo Langford. The rumors for years is that he will only go to an Adidas school. After all this Adidas/FBI scandal, you should be hesitant to get into a possible gray area with him. 
    This post isn’t meant as an attack on you. Just trying to point out that as an IU fan, we should be careful with the moral high ground. Those in glass houses, shouldn’t throw rocks. 
    Utlimately, I think changes need to be made to help clean up recruiting. I’ve got a lot of ideas for this but that’s for a different thread.

    Would you accept a charge inside the circle, would you accept credit for a blocked shot if you knew you got their hand?

    I know the answer to the above and those are just minor infractions that happen all the time that don't always get called.

    If you knew the rules but also knew a ref didn't call it, would you take advantage of that to better yourself and your team on the court?

    I don't understand this moral high ground and comparing a game to a deadly drug or cheating on your spouse, makes zero sense

    Some of the play against the zone looks really good. Never seen a Crean team move the ball like this.

    Impressive game IMO. Future can be bright. Archie knows his stuff. I'm not sold on this particular team, but I'm certainly enjoying the ride and seeing some worthwhile coaching. Hallelujah!

    Definitely improving by the game. Duke will be the game to see how far away we are from being good. Keep it respectable and I’ll be excited about our chances going forward.

    Didn’t a Duke player just get caught with $85k of jewelry a few years ago? Duke isn’t above board. To be honest IU probably played in the grey too. I work with former athletes and have heard stories of cars basketball players would drive, Noah Vonleh is a name I hear from players of other sports that is probably questionable.

    No TO's in 30 min. to go along with how few TO's he has for the season to date.  What in the world prompted FCTC to recruit a kid that doesn't turn the ball over?

    He is absolutely my number 1 guy for the 2019 class. I know there are other higher ranked kids that are bette then him but he is the one I want the most. I’m biased since I’ve watched him develop over his first couple years. Can’t wait to run into CAM at a home game. FWIW on peegs hot board. TJD is at the top

    My god.....no recruit is worth emotional distress. If he comes awesome but if not that's ok too. I can guarantee you this much, that next October there will be a schedule that comes out indicating which teams IU will play and it will also show you which guys WILL/WANT to play those teams. That's what matters and it ain't no rumor it's a fact. Until then the best thing for your well being might just be to follow this year's schedule and the guys playing it. Just a little friendly advice for any of you getting upset about recruiting.

    I see Durham played another 28 minutes without a TO and per Josh Margolis, he's now played 100 minutes since his last TO.  Not too shabby.
