Okay... So I've told a couple friends and family members that I read a rumor here a while back the Romeo supposedly liked the idea of playing at IU but not Crean. Am I off my rocker for remembering seeing that? I've tried searching the thread and haven't found the post I feel I remember.

Hahaha!

I don't think that's really Archie

Anyone know if RoJo will be able to grad transfer?

I'd say I expect Elite 8 year 3 (led by De'Ron Davis [emoji4]) at the latest. This coming season, I'm willing to give some grace. I'd be happy in Archie's first year (assuming players leave like I'm expecting) if we could finish top 3 or 4 in the conference and get to the Sweet 16 and play a competitive game there. I would love more than that, but if our roster is "gutted," expecting more right away is probably unfair. If he doesn't have a strong enough core or can't lead talent well enough to win 3 tournament games by somewhere between years 3 and 5, he's failed at the job he's been hired for. I could see the 6th year being like this year for Crean if Archie hasn't made the E8 by then. Note: had we hired Donovan or Bennett, my expectations for this coming season would be the same.

That sounds fair to me. Crean got 9, but had to take 2-3 just to clean the program up and get it back on its feet. My first instinct, however, tells me the guy that coached Dayton to the elite 8, then to two tourney wins with no player over 6'6" (after he had a player die, two dismissed and a 4-star freshman miss 21 games) won't have that much trouble getting there.

Had to read that one a few times. -That Guy

Don't sell Archie short as a double. He's at least a lead off triple in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th.

Might not be a "grand slam" today, but I don't see people struggling to back Archie like they would Alford. Considering Archie was one of my favorites at the start of the search, I'm pumped for what he can bring to IU basketball! Let's get #6!

Sounds good to me hahaha!

Amen & Amen!!!

I'm excited, guys!

Bennett and Romeo might not be the heros IU fans deserve, but they might the heroes IU fans need right now.

I like this.

Two Floater 3s. One by Showalter to force OT and that crazy s***! Wow!

Whaaaaaat?

Trying to find our coach He's gotta be somewhere around here.

What if Donovan... IS THE HOOSIER GUY!?!?!?

Man, this is a little more annoying than fun today...

I really want to believe this, but the return trip makes ZERO sense.

But there are no arrivals in OKC listed as from Indy this morning.

Dang. On FlightAware, the only Cessna Citation jet which landed in Monroe County today came from Indianapolis.

Only other "sourced" info he's posted in the last 5 days, amidst a swirl of rumors, is that we hired the search firm... This seems like the most believable thing I've seen all day and probably all week.

Holy effing schnizey!!!!
