Returning everyone would debatably be better than adding any one else outside of our current recruiting class. Continuity and player development is how Indiana is going to win if we aren’t going to pay for recruits.

Agreed. Plus with 4-6 new players will be good to have 7 players that already know the system. 

I still think Moore can be a big piece for us. If he wants it. 

Green can be great player as he showed in batches. Needs to be more consistent. 

Al could be a very solid piece even this year If not for sure his junior and senior year.

Moore is so intriguing but has such a long way to go. I sure hope with him in the system for several years Archie can turn him into a player for us - will be nice to see a big develop under our coach for a change

I just hope that Langford’s late decision date doesn’t affect us in Taylor’s recruitment. It’s possible that Taylor wants to commit before late April and Romeo commits elsewhere in late April...that’d be worse case scenario.

Highly doubt Langford would go elsewhere because Taylor committed here first.

 

Worst case scenario would be not getting either of them.

Yeah that’s what I meant. Taylor doesn’t want to wait and eliminates IU and commits elsewhere. Langford then chooses Vandy or Kansas. That would suck.

Knowing our luck probably happen.

Of course I could be wrong, but I think he would rather be here without Langford. He would be option 1 at the position and could be a huge part of next year's team. With Langford, not so much. If Langford comes to IU, I wouldn't blame him for looking elsewhere. I just hope it's not Purdue.

So is nobody leaving the program? I'm kinda shocked but was expecting news already?

I think the end of the season meetings should finish up this week. Should know soon if anyone is leaving. But it looks good for now.

Al Durham and Clifton Moore were on twitter accompanying Juwan, Justin, and Cliff Marshall to Easter services. Al also tweeting support for IUWBB.

Good signs for sure.

Clifton was looking a little bulkier in that picture. I know some people see him as another one of Crean's "project bigs", but I don't. He has skills. He just needed some time to get bigger and adjust to the speed of the college game. Next year he should be able to contribute some minutes off the bench, and by the time he's an upperclassman I see him really being able to contribute.

Man, if Archie can retain the entire 2017 class AND develop Moore and Durham, that would be an easy testiment to how good of a coach he is. If anyone is familiar with Dayton basketball, think of Devin Oliver’s or Kendall Pollard’s development.

Too bad he was so resistant to redshirting, he would have really benefited and saved that year of eligibility. 

I thought the same exact thing. Supposedly, one of the caveats to him re-committing to us was that he not redshirt. But for as little as he played, he might as well have -- and used last season to develop. Then, if he stays four years and wanted it, he'd have another year of eligibility. And if he didn't want that extra year, he could leave as a grad transfer or go play professionally somewhere (if he's good enough).

Speaking of redshirting, I wish Freddie was redshirted in 2017 with Crean. I would love to have another year of Freddie.

yea, it's amazing what Archie and the other coaches did with Freddie, the improvements in Justin, Juwan, Devonte all were pretty amazing.

Just think too what "his" players could do in his system and under his staff. I cannot wait until next year with or without Romeo.
