OT but is there anyway to get to the off topic forum from the iPhone app. The only way i can get to it from the app is if someone has replied and it's in my unread otherwise I have to use the desktop version?

Players like Darius Garland always have high expectations when coming into the spring, and so far that hasn't been a problem for the five-star floor general. Garland was downright dominant at times on Saturday at the NY2LA Swish N Dish and showed why he is one of the most highly recruited prospects in the entire country. About what he is working to improve on this spring, Garland said, "I am working to become more of a leader. I am really excited about the summer. I know I have to continue to get stronger and just improve on everything." Darius Garland 6'1" / 150 lbs PG RANK 3 TN PG RANK 1 OFFERS 7 11 AnalysisOne of the premier lead guard prospects in the 2018 class, Garland possesses good size, length and quickness for the position. Garland plays at a good pace and changes his speeds well. Garland is a quality passer that can whip pinpoint passes with either hand. Although young, Garland has already shown a strong ability to operate in pick and roll situations. The 6-foot-2 guard makes good decision coming off screens and is a threat to find an open teammate, step behind a screen and bury a shot or make a play from the mid-range area. One of Garland's biggest strengths is his ability to make shots from three. He has deep range on his shot, good shot preparation and a fairly quick release. He's also developed a comfort level from mid-range, where he's capable of connecting on pull-ups or dropping in floaters. Defensively, he's made great strides already. He slides his feet well, is quick laterally and has tremendous instincts on that end of the floor. CLOSE Schools such as Duke, Indiana, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and others have offered Garland a scholarship, and Garland says he has an idea of how he wants to move ahead in his recruitment. "I am just taking my time and letting it all come to me," he explained. "Hopefully I can make my decision soon, but I don’t know yet for sure when I will decide." One school that has been linked with Garland quite a bit is Duke. Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski has been active recruiting Garland and he is very interested in the Blue Devils program. "I love Coach K and the entire coaching staff," said Garland of Duke. "It is a really good school and a place I am really excited about. I hope to take an official visit there soon and get to know the coaching staff better." Close to home is Vanderbilt, and Bryce Drew and his staff are doing everything they can to keep Garland from leaving the city. "I have had a relationship with Coach Drew since he was at Valpo," noted Garland. "I am very excited about the entire coaching staff there and the job they are doing, so it is good to get to know them better." Also the Indiana Hoosiers were making Garland a priority. There has been a recent coaching change in Bloomington, and Garland is intrigued with how that will impact his recruitment. "I haven’t heard from Coach (Archie) Miller yet," noted Garland. "I do like Indiana and I am curious to see how that goes with them. With my dad being from the state and how passionate their fan base is it is a school I'm interested in." While Garland doesn't seem to want to wait too long to make a commitment, he does seem to be in no rush to end his recruitment until gaining as much information as needed about the schools on his list.

Facebook Twitter Email Aa _ + Zach Osterman | zach.osterman@indystar.com Updated 3 hours ago BLOOMINGTON – An occurrence so regular, it became a game-night expectation for Ohio State, during the late 2000s. Archie Miller, an intense-but-relatable young Buckeyes assistant, was always in charge of checking the updated box score during timeouts. Miller’s reaction became predictable. New Indiana coach Archie Miller answers a question during a news conference on the court in ...more Michael Conroy, AP “He was responsible for points in transition, and counting deflections. We had goals for those kinds of things,” said Kyle Madsen, then a player at Ohio State. “It became a joke between us. He would crumble (the box scores) up in disgust and throw them right back at the managers, and step into the huddle and tell us, ‘You guys have got to step it up!’” This was Archie Miller, at the time no more than 30 years old. He sometimes barely seemed older than the players he mentored, as part of coach Thad Matta’s staff. He was tough but fair, intense but motivating, blessed with the rare gift of being able to relate to, and bring the best out of, players with a combination of both good cop and bad. “He’s very passionate. He’ll get in your face if he has to. He doesn’t hold anything back. Whatever needs to be said at the time, he’ll say it,” said Dallas Lauderdale, another player on those Ohio State teams Miller served from 2007-09. “He’s able to identify with players, and see the potential they have so far beyond what they could themselves.” North Carolina State's Archie Miller (11) races past Maryland's Steve Blake in the final minutes ...more AP Miller, 38, first broke into coaching as an intern under Herb Sendek, for whom Miller played college basketball at North Carolina State. An undersized point guard (listed at a generous 5-11 by N.C. State) who played for his father, John, a legendary high school coach in Pennsylvania, Miller still sits in the top 10 in numerous career lists in Raleigh. In his senior season, he helped lead the Wolfpack to the ACC tournament championship game and the NCAA tournament. “As he developed as a basketball player, he was challenged by his size,” Sendek, now the coach at Santa Clara, said this week. “He did it through hard work and by mastering the technique of shooting. That became his niche, that became his entry point. “And then above and beyond that, in order for him to compete successfully, given his athleticism and his size, he had to be a scrapper. He had to fight and scratch and claw and battle, tooth and nail.” Those traits stayed with Miller into coaching, where he followed his brother, Sean, now in charge at Arizona. • INSIDER: Archie Miller not hiding from IU's sky-high expectations • DOYEL: Don't worry IU fans, Archie Miller is hard at work Miller’s first full-time job in the industry came as an assistant under Darrin Horn at Western Kentucky. He came recommended to Horn by Dave Telep, now the director of scouting for the San Antonio Spurs. “(Telep) just said, ‘Hey look, I know this guy doesn’t have any experience, but I think he’s gonna be a star. You really ought to take some time and visit with him,’” Horn said. “I was really impressed. The pedigree kind of speaks for himself. I like guys who are successful as players, especially when it’s maybe not because of their natural talent.” Only in Bowling Green for one season, Miller was instrumental in the Hilltoppers’ recruitment of Pike alumnus Courtney Lee, now with the New York Knicks. Horn had first seen Lee during his time as an assistant at Marquette, working under Tom Crean. “I’d always kind of liked Courtney. I wasn’t sure exactly where he’d fit, but thought he was a talent,” Horn said. “Archie was the guy that we put as being the lead recruiter on him as an assistant. He did what good assistants do. He was thorough and detailed, and built relationships.” New Indiana coach Archie Miller answers a question during a news conference on the court in ...more Michael Conroy, AP Lee was named Sun Belt Conference player of the year as a senior, and helped lead the Hilltoppers to the 2008 Sweet 16. Miller moved on, returning to North Carolina State, then following Sendek to Arizona State before joining Matta's staff in Columbus. His time at Ohio State taught Miller two enduring lessons he specifically referenced in his introductory news conference Monday. First, it exposed him to Indiana basketball up close for the first time. “My lasting impression here was nine years ago, in coach Crean's first year, when things weren't off to a good start. He had inherited something that wasn't very easy to take over,” Miller said. “I remember being in here and feeling the power of this building on that team, and I left saying, ‘I wonder what it's like in there when they're really good.’ I've always come back to that.” And his time under Matta changed his approach to coaching. “Coach Matta changed my complexion of what college basketball was all about,” Miller said. “It used to be, ‘Hey, I'm going to scout all these plays and get these guys ready to go.’ His approach was, you need to spend all that time not on the plays, you need to spend all that time on the players, and that was different. “I loved it. I spent more time with the guys, and had the ability to work with great players.” New Indiana coach Archie Miller waves as he walks on to the court of Assembly Hall before he was ...more Michael Conroy, AP It was a lesson Miller absorbed quickly, according to former Buckeyes.

SPORTS 'Gut-checking time' for Pacers after loss to Raptors SPORTS 'At last': Pacers great George McGinnis makes Hall of Fame SPORTS IU's Tanner Thompson makes quick impression with Eleven For players in that era, Miller became both mentor and giver of tough love. He was genuine and easy to talk to. “Everybody on our team, from the top of the roster to the bottom, really respected him,” Madsen said. “He was just able to have a conversation, always an honest conversation. Not always exactly what we wanted to hear, but you always knew he was right with what he was saying.” That equal-opportunity approach played out on the floor as well. Among Miller’s favorite drills was full-court one-on-one, and he wasn’t choosy about how he set it up. Once in a while, the 6-9 Madsen would find himself matched up against smaller, more agile opponents, and he’d have to figure out how to survive. “I can remember myself playing full-court one-on-one against Evan Turner and David Lighty, guys that are significantly smaller and faster than me,” Madsen said. “A drill like that, looking back on it, that’s an unbelievable thing to do, and it improves your conditioning and your ability to guard in transition.” • MORE: Collin Hartman to return, James Blackmon to test NBA waters • INSIDER: Archie Miller's recruiting philosophy starts at home On occasion, Miller would even jump into workouts, throw back to his playing days and run point. Whatever it took to get the most out of the task at hand. “He gets you ready to compete at all times,” said Danny Peters, who played at Ohio State and is now an assistant at Ball State. “If you’re not ready to meet his level and the standard he sets for you, he’s going to find somebody who can.” Hard-working, demanding and tough. Outgoing, easygoing and friendly. Willing to treat every player the same. Able to help them bridge the gap between potential and production, by being tough without being unfair. Archie Miller’s players and former bosses all remember him much the same way. That’s not by accident. “He was and still is incredibly intense, for sure,” Madsen said. “But I think he’s intense in the right kind of way. There’s intense where you’re sucking the fun out of the game, but then there’s the intense where he made people want to play harder. … “To think he was 30 then, and impacting people in that way, is pretty mind blowing to me at this point. For somebody to leave that kind of impression speaks volumes about the type of person he is.” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I haven't paid a dime to scout Four-star class of 2018 guard Eric Hunter had a solid start to the travel season with a winning effort on night one at the NY2LA Swish N Dish. Because his team won a state title, Hunter hasn’t had much rest, but he came out strong and showed his significant talent. “It was great to win a title,” explained Hunter. “I liked the way it happened, so it was just a great moment.” Eric Hunter 6'3" / 165 lbs SG RANK 18 IN SG RANK 2 OFFERS 8 85 He continued, “It was a great year for me personally. All of my totals were up and my percentages were up, and also I think I made others around me better.” Schools such as Purdue, Butler, Xavier, Creighton, Nebraska, and Michigan State have been recruiting Hunter for a while, but now a few new schools have entered the mix. “Wake Forest, Tulsa, Temple, Maryland, and now Indiana are the new schools,” said Hunter. Indiana hadn’t shown too much interest in Hunter under Tom Crean, but now Archie Miller has made it known he intends to recruit the state hard, and Hunter appears to be one of his priorities. “Coach Miller called my high school coach and he is supposed to call me or my dad this week,” noted Hunter. When asked how he will approach the new interest from Indiana, he said, “I will give Indiana a fresh start. You have to give the new coach a chance to recruit you, but I also have to treat them like they are a brand new school recruiting me.” While Indiana is just starting to recruit Hunter, Nebraska has been on him for a long time, and the Cornhuskers continue to build a solid relationship with him. “It is a great relationship I have with Coach (Tim) Miles and Coach (Michael) Lewis,” noted Hunter. “I went down there last summer and I just liked everything about it. I just like the school and how I would fit in there.” Two other schools that have recruited Hunter for a while are Big East rivals Butler and Xavier. Hunter visited Butler numerous times during the year, and says the coaching staff has done a tremendous job of making him feel wanted. “They’ve embraced me and my family with open arms,” said Hunter. “The reason I was there so much because it is 10 minutes from my house and it is a great atmosphere. So it is good to see their games and I am building a good relationship with the entire coaching staff.” About Xavier, Hunter said, “Things are going well with them. They’d like me to play alongside guys like Paul Scruggs and Quentin Goodin, and they think I would fit in perfectly with how they like to play.” At the moment Hunter continues to be focused on getting better while also keeping a close eye on his recruitment.
