Popular Post Hoosier Guy Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2017 8 minutes ago, Hoosierfan2017 said: Give him the highest recruiting budget in the conference and I think he does A LOT more with it than Crean did. I think he'll recruit the state well and I think a lot of instate kids in these next couple classes that didn't have much interest in us will be changing their mind now. I'm not going as far as saying he's going to "lock up the state" because I don't really think that's possible these days, but I think we'll be very pleased with what he does on the recruiting front. He's gonna start by getting Romeo IUChamp28, IUsafety, Kepner and 7 others 10 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I like this hire. Let's face it: Donovan and Stevens weren't happening. Wanted no part of Alford. I thought Bennett and Miller were the next best "candidates," and I don't think Bennett was gonna happen, either. I think he's still pissed IU fired his sister all those years ago.

ThompsonHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Why are so many people being so negative right now? Archie hasn't even coached a single minute at IU yet! And let's be honest, even if we would have hired Donovan a lot of people (not most of you in this board) would have been upset that we didn't hire Alford. Were fans excited when IU hired Knight after having a mediocre season at Army? My guess is probably not and we all know how that turned out. Anyways, I wish nothing but the best to Archie and hopefully he can lead us back to greatness! Dizz and Milldawg12 2 Quote
Hardwood83 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 6 minutes ago, Hoosier Guy said: Out of who was linked to IU, yes Archie was the best. Jay Wright wasn't happening. Sean Miller wasn't happening. Mack, Marshall and Collins don't have the potential that Archie has. Bennett is the only one I would consider on or near his level but he wasn't leaving either You might be right- which makes me sad too. The best coach IU can get is a 30 something from a mid-major.....Nothing to do now but hope for the best and I'm glad many are excited, but I am extremely under-whelmed. Quote
Popular Post bizzle44 Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2017 Welcome, Coach Miller! I just went and changed into all my IU gear, swapped out my cup for an IU cup, and am brewing some more coffee to put in my IU mug! GO HOOSIERS!

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Just saw the UK radio stations had all pin pointed Archie as their guy once Cal was done within 5 years. Also said it was him or Marshall but age difference would make Archie the favorite. All we did was get him sooner. He may flame out but I dont believe he will. I am excited to say he is our coach. Like I said yesterday if we were taking a risk. Then Mike White, Archie and maybe Chris Collins were home run hires. If you truly want this guy to fail then your not an IU fan. Sorry but its true. Billy wasnt coming. We all thought maybe but the smoke screens of Billy never had legs sides optimist IU fans.
