What do you mean by this? Archie lit into the team in the locker room and none of the players spoke up at all?

Yeah this is the most glaring problem imo. I started getting concerned when we fell behind by 20, looking at our roster wondering who the guy to bring us back would be. That's when I realized there just isn't one. No Yogi, no Blackmon, no Bryant, not even a Troy Williams instant offense type of player. We just don't have a go-to offensive player right now. And it doesn't help that our defense is really bad.

Our roster just isn't very good. Granted we're better than a team that gets blown out at home to Indiana State, but we just don't have enough guys right now. I don't think Hartman is going to make that much of a difference. We'll get better eventually, and when we do, the roster is going to look a LOT different than it currently does.

Yeah I agree. And furthermore I'm starting to wish that Robert Johnson didn't play at Indiana, or for Indiana.

There has to be something wrong with Robert Johnson. Does he just not care or something? You could understand the second half of last season because of the way it was going, but my goodness. It looks like he just doesn't know how to play or care to be out there.

Geez we can't hit anything.

So maybe this is actually an exhibition? And we're just mailing it in?

I mean I'm pretty optimistic here. I am not expecting a doomsday at all.

Never before in my life have I wanted a weekend to end. I can't wait for Monday at 2:45!

Hmmm

Hahaha for real. Is there anything tangible to come out, or are people just assuming he can't be headed to IU since he's announcing next Wednesday night from his school? I'm sure there are plenty of players who have announced at their high school for other teams than their hometown school. Harrison Barnes, for example, held his announcement ceremony at his high school, and everyone thought that meant he was going to Iowa State, but obviously ended up at UNC.

Ugh seriously if we lose a recruit to freakin' Vanderbilt.... Spare me the "it's a great school and in his hometown" spiel. It's still Vanderbilt. Great job by Archie to have us in this until the end though. Certainly hit the ground running.

Holy sh*t, are next year's college freshman really born in 1999? I feel so old now.

I'm not discouraged at all by that. He still feels IU could be the pick, as his selection remains IU on his crystal ball. All he really said was the sources are quiet now. That could mean anything.

Will make a point to catch some Riley games this year when I go home to visit the parents in South Bend. So excited he's a Hoosier.

I just seriously doubt there's any pressure, outside of a few, to go to Vandy. Even in Nashville it's tough to find a Vanderbilt fan.

Rivals, I'm not on peegs

Well there's an insider on tos that is incredibly excited right now. Hopefully that's a good sign.

You must be new here.

Honestly he's probably just messing with people knowing lots of fans would read too much into it. Looking for his 15 seconds of fame I guess.

Well is there an Instagram picture of Bryce Drew that Darius also liked on Instagram? Could put this to bed pretty quickly.

It's Instagram.

Speaking of Al Durham, do you know anything about his progression? Is he looking very good? I'm hoping Brooks pays us a few more visits for games this season before he makes a decision. I'm sure TJD will, and I'd love for the both of them to be the cornerstone of our frontcourt for the future.

Remember too that in the days leading up to his decision, Robert Johnson's crystal ball was an all-UNC avalanche.

Please hold my beer, I keep spilling it from laughing so hard. Seriously, if there is even the remote chance this kid gets cleared to play, the NCAA should just disband. Louisville should have kicked him out of school.
