No reason IU can't be a title contender in 2021. Rob Phinisee should be an All-Big Ten guard by then. Al Durham will be a senior and can give you double-digit scoring, hopefully 40% from 3. TJD is another All-Big Ten player. Wild card is Jerome Hunter. If he is 3/4 the player we think he can be that will be huge. Like the idea of Brunk and Race in the front court. Armann is a nice combo guard who can shoot it. Justin and Damezi? We will see about them.

I think I'd rather have Quinones over Watford, Beverly, and Windham. He would be the first guard off the bench in year one and start year two. I'd love Watford but the Romeo comment rubbed me the wrong way. IU needs guys who will play to their role. That is why I love seeing Devonte getting shots up at Cook Hall!

I think scholarship. I don't know how good he is. TJD just said he can shoot it. TJD also said he is working on his handles and shooting. That tells me he is the 4 and Brunk is the 5. Race backs up TJD and De'Ron backs up Brunk. Rob, Al, and Devonte is your backcourt. What does this mean for Justin Smith?? Time will tell.

I am so excited for TJD and Armaan to get on campus. They are both trying to recruit Brunk and Windham. TJD is already working out with Brunk. They seem like the right guys for the culture along with Rob and Al.

As a big college basketball fan I love this title game. Smart teams playing...new coaches and new teams. If Guy has a Purdue like 2nd half I think Virginia cuts down the nets.

I think IU has two nice pieces for the next three years. Rob Phinisee and TJD I think could be an All-Big Ten/All-American duo in a few years. Need shooters and guys who will play hard on defense.

First one to 40 wins Monday! I think Texas Tech will pull it off. They are so tough. Chris Beard is the new great in coaching. Reminds me of Brad Stevens rising in 2010.

Not sure anyone cares, but Bob Knight is back on IU’s campus for a baseball game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I still don't understand why Mark Few isn't their number 1 guy. Recruits the west coast really well. Throw money at him and see what happens. Historically UCLA is a top notch program. No reason they can't get a good coach.

Scott May, Alan Henderson, Tom Coverdale, Jordan Hulls, Romeo. Am I missing anybody?

Interview with Rabjohns on Peegs. Basically knows the IU culture. 3.9 GPA from Butler. Ole Miss seems to be the only other school recruiting him. I'd be shocked if he isn't a Hoosier. This team just needs guys that want to play for IU no matter their role.

Also read a really good article about Brunk. Man would he be an awesome fit at IU. Hope Archie can get him!

Awesome! I've said it many times but this team needs the same dedication Hulls, Oladipo, and Sheehey had in 2011. They were sick and tired of losing.

Bingo. I think all of these guys are great kids. Everyone is wired different. I don't mean to compare a fraternity to a basketball program but we had members drop all the time. They weren't bad people. It was because it wasn't a good fit for them and the passion wasn't there. I saw a lot of that this year like you did.

I hate losing players but that is how it goes now.

It depends. Is he a locker room problem? If so, addition by subtraction. This team needs guys who will play for Indiana and Archie Miller. Outside of Rob, Al, De'Ron, and Race that was hard to find on a consistent basis last year.

I agree with this. Sometimes I like his takes but other times he is trying to be an entertainer. Dude knows the x's and o's for sure.

Romeo seems like an awesome kid! Wish him well and I hope he has an excellent NBA career. Was the first Mr. Basketball in 7 years to come to IU. I think he also helped in landing TJD. Hope he will be a great ambassador for Indiana. I can't blame him for going pro at all. It is really tough to turn down being a lottery pick.

I see him as a good rotational big as a junior or senior.

I think I saw that back in February. This program doesn't need that negativity.

I don't get it. I think we all kind of knew he wasn't going to play much his freshman or sophomore year. Wish the kid luck in the future.

I don't think Jamie is a terrible hire but UCLA could do better.

One thing to remember is Texas Tech and Auburn were not in the National Discussion two years ago at this time. Virginia lost to a 16 seed last year. Michigan State lost to a 15 seed three years ago. Change can happen fast in college basketball.

I just don't understand why nobody stepped in when our APR was getting bad. It really hurt Archie in gettting rid/getting players his first two years.
