Yeah, Leal is at the bottom of my list. For some reason I just haven't been a big fan. Seen him several times and just thought meh!

Yes definitely fine with this. After Brooks went to pUKe he lost all luster, and didn't really see the offensive development from players that I thought would come with that hire.

You will never, I repeat NEVER build a winning program if you toss aside coaches after 2 yrs if they don't deliver the high expectations by some. We as evidenced by our last 2 coaching searches already find it difficult to find a "so-called" top tier coach willing to put up with the 'results now, or else' overzealous fanbase. I'm so tired of hearing you complain about the drop off in recruiting. We are not a top program anymore and kids are not jumping at a chance to play for Indiana. I would say for what we are able to get at this time, it will take time for the program to blossom into a yearly contender. But, I guess if everyone had patience, this would be a damned boring forum.

Yes to Galloway, Loveday, Cross and Leal!

Hoping Clarke reclasses!

CoachSS (Sam Story) saying on another site that IU has not offered this kid fwiw.

Love this Stu!!

Legacy means squat! You don't recruit legacy, you recruit talent. Fortunately he has talent.

Noticed too this World Cup that the US seems to want to play close out front of their own box more instead of clearing up field quicker. Spain's goal a direct result and almost gave some opportunities to Sweden that way.

Rapinoe hasn't played well at all in this tournament. Today I thought that there were a few others also. Dunn didn't look comfortable at all and was challenged to get back quite a bit. Thought we would see some subs earlier than we did. Miss Horan out there because she is a beast, but who are you going to sit? Carly could have been inserted earlier because things always seem to happen when she is playing. Thought we could have used Press outside also.

That would definitely be a reason for KBJ (Brooks) to not want to be at pUKe. Another player to gobble up some of those minutes.

Glad to see you back Chris007. People on here acting like they can't believe anything put out there unless it comes from you lol! Alot of posters been on the edge.

I don't want to lose to anyone period! And no, a win against a mid major, is just a win against a mid major. A better win in our eyes, but doesn't do a damned thing in the committee's eyes. A loss to any school inside of our state hurts the program in far many ways than in just the loss column. And you are certainly correct. We should not be afraid to play anyone inside our borders. In fact, anyone. But don't compare us to Duke. We are not on that level...yet. BTW Army, Stetson, Eastern Michigan, Princeton, Hartford, Yale all teams that Duke had on their schedule last season against ZERO other in-state schools not in the ACC.

In-state cupcakes provide a higher chance of a bad loss! We've seen this again and again. They have more to play for than a Portland St.

Would still like to know how Zion's folks got into that high dollar residence in that upscale neighborhood outside of Durham lol!

I never stated that the majority of posters or posts were negative. A collective is not the majority of posters. It is a percentage whether large or small. If you read the post that I was referring to, you will see that a recruit decided to attend somewhere else rather than IU. Because that recruit did not choose us, it was inferred that our program was "low". This negative opinion was completely unfounded based on the fact that he was never even seriously recruited. I don't have a problem with the negative opinions if there is foundation for it.

I'm referring to the temperament of recent posts throughout all topics of this forum. Not by an individual, but as a collective. To say that there has NOT been an over abundance of this negativer banter since the end of the season, and primarily in the recruiting threads would be entirely untrue.

Great that he likes the Pacers and tries to model himself after Bird. Though not necessarily IU, he keeps it fron his state.

This is the kind of response that I have come to expect here lately on these forums. How low are we? We didn't even actively recruit this kid. I wouldn't exactly say we lost out on a kid that went to mid level, power 5 school, that we spent minimal time and resourses on.

He didn't go to Duke for free

Where are all of these people complaining when there are touchdown/sack celebrations, pounding the chest and screaming after slam dunks and tossing up the three ball signs etc...

NCAA LOL

Might make it difficult if a commission is also made up of persons outside of the NCAA.

I'm hedging my bets on UK. Cal is a good salesman, and Blackshear wants to make it in the NBA. He is a good enough player to get plenty of floor time in Lexington. May give up some shots, but that hasn't stopped the dozens of top recruits that has went there. Cal tells them straight up that is all about the show. Plus he has a real nice pro day for Scouts every season.
