Crimson and Cream

It’s quite a leap to insinuate he might not be the greatest kid. Who knows if he even knew it was Archie’s birthday? All indications are that he did his due diligence, is a smart kid and there were zero rumors of him looking for anything illegal $$$.
I will be disappointed if he goes to PU but disagree with the, sour grapes in my opinion, sentiments that he all the sudden is not a great kid, is selfish, wont play with x/y/z, etc.

I keep hearing what a great kids Kaufman is, but for him to commit to PU (IU's biggest rival) on Archie's birthday of all days (even if accidental) tells me he is a bit self centered and only cares about himself. Not that atypical of kids these days but he is certainly one of many kids personality and attitude wise and not anything special from a class standpoint.  

If y’all listen to USPS you’ll enjoy the ride all that much more.
 

What bigs has Painter developed into the NBA?

Let’s get Mason Miller to ease the loss (if it happens)

Anyone else worried about us celebrating the PSU win for a little too long? Coach Allen has been on TV yesterday and today talking about the win, it's Thursday. Just seems like we need to focus on Rutgers. Hope I'm wrong

Hopeful it’s IU. If not, good luck to him at Purdue. I’m actually enjoying the perception that this is a IU/PU battle. That’s the way it should be for in-state too talent. 

None of the staff know of the decision yet. I'm going off of everything we know, he has been to IU more than any other place, he wants to stay close to home, his mom went to IU, he wanted to commit earlier in the summer and the staffs feels like he is coming. I'm guessing Purdue has the same feelings for their reasons. I would be surprised if he ends up at Purdue but not shocked. One day out we're still in good shape. 

Galloway is going to play, maybe even start a couple of games. His defense, IQ everything you mentioned is going to get him minutes. 

And just think that Galloway is the freshman getting talked about the most in practice.    Future looks bright down in Bloomington.     I’m so glad those 2 ended up coming to IU.  

From what I understand from practice, his work ethic is off the charts. He stays after practice every day to work on his game. He's been shooting it really well also. I think his D has to get better and learn the speed of the college game. 

Looking back now, that whole “Donovan to IU” time was awesome. I remember we had dudes checking in from every airport in southern Indiana, tracking flights, checking limo rentals,and I believe we even had Treesh hiding in the bushes outside AH, hoping for a photo. What a roller coaster that was. Good times.

74 thru 76 teams for me. Thank God that the only channels we could get were WTWO and WTHI in Terre Haute instead of WCIA in Champaign. I might be an Illini fan if that happened. I shudder to think about it.
For you youngsters, only being able to get 2 or 3 channels was normal. ;)
Heck, I didn't get cable until I got married in 88 and moved to town.

You and me are the same timeline then. I have slight memories of IUBB before that, but that run was when I truly became an IU fan for myself. That team with AJ, JJ, Coverdale and the rest of the gang....man that was good times. Fun times. 

I'm not saying anything except congrats Devonte

Well now that makes ME feel old!

Have seen Reed several times. I’ll write something more complete at some other point. Bottom line: big, physical, tough low post hammer. Big body,  pretty good athlete. Has a nasty streak. Like this offer a good bit.

Tom Allen is named National Coach of the Week by the Bobby Dodd Foundation.

I'm thinking this will be something nobody saw coming. 
I'm predicting he becomes an Indiana State Sycamore, then changes his name to Tree Kaufman. Then, after packing up his trunk and taking root in Terre Haute, he'll suffer a back injury, but will miss only five games after getting some excellent lumber therapy. Eventually, he will feel his game has been spruced up enough after a year, and will branch out and leave for the NBA. 
It won't be a poplar move, so irate IU fans will bark about it, and accuse him of treeson. 
When asked what went wrong in the recruiting process, Archie will say: "I'm stumped." 
Yes -- I know. This is a sappy story. 

Don’t forget that AlaskaHoosier is a dumbass whiner that thinks he’s so much better than everybody because he lives in the great frozen tundra!

Meh!  You kids don't know what old is!   But just to clarify for some of our newer members, that '66 refers to 1966 not 1866.
