Welcome Coach Miller

[mdn82 25,510]

Guess Rick Bozich should come out and apologize for telling people like Mile that he was on campus too. I doubt Rick is one to just make up tales. 

When did Rick say that? Wouldn't he tell his own son that covers IU? Alex was telling everyone how stupid that rumor was on twitter.

He was below Stevens, Donovan, and Bennett for me. Those were the proven guys who I believe cashed the check Fred wrote when he fired Crean. Out of the group of young guns that have a lot of potential, I actually preferred Mike White over Archie.

Things I like about Archie:
1) AdjD increased every year since he arrived in Dayton, till this year it regressed slightly from 9 to I believe 41
2) Young and exciting with potential. Unlike Crean, I don't think we've seen his ceiling, and he has time to learn.
3) Comes from a basketball coaching family and played PG at the collegiate level, so he has a strong background and lifetime of exposure.

Things I don't like:
1) Worried by the AdjO regression while at Dayton. Inconsistent at best, and never put together an elite offense.
2) Potential also equals risk, and nothing he's done before promises any kind of future results. Would have preferred one of the sure fire guys listed above.

Overall, I'm excited. This is a positive step forward from a toxic situation with Crean. With Deron and Devonte hopefully back next year, plus any combination of the rest of the team returning, I believe we have a talented team that will do what their new coach has always done: exceed expectations.

The problem though if you look at Mike White's whole career on Wikipedia , he is a southern boy and seems to enjoy staying down there

This will be my last comment.  You won't change my mind, and I won't change yours.  We will just have to agree to disagree.  

Show me where Bozich reported anywhere that Donovan was not only in Bloomington, but was there to meet with Fred Glass to talk about the IU job...   and I will happily say he did wrong as well.  

That is where Justin went wrong, and then treating people like dirt when he was questioned.

Rick was trolling Mile? That's effing hilarious. This day just gets better.

Mile got the email yesterday. He has been close to Rick for years. Not once did Mile take a hard stance on Donovan coming to IU just said it was a name he heard. There was no agenda for him to push.

whatever you say.

Thank you. I appreciate the post.
 
I'm also worried about the offense. The recruiting concerns me as well. His classes don't look that impressive..

Again.......you try recruiting kids to Dayton, Ohio and see how well you do!! Lol

I look forward to watching Archie get on our guys during timeouts (especially at 5'9"). I've always loved how the elite guys are able to do that and the team responds.

Why would someone who has been proven to have credible information make that up?

According to this guy from ESPN analytics , the Greek Frank's little brother may follow Miller to IU and elgible for the 2nd semester. Kostas was a 4 star a couple years ago.

You tell us. He was not on campus.

Lets hope. I am sure the cupboard will be a little bare coming in.

To cover his own @$$. That dude flip flopped so much it wasn't even funny. Sorry but you probably won't find much 24/7 love here especially after they got it wrong while putting down every other IU website the whole time.

[Magnanimous 4,608]

For anyone questioning the state of the IU job because of us hiring Miller and not a bigger name, I have to ask if any of the other top college jobs opened up right now (UNC, KU, UK, Louisville, UCLA) and none of them could pull Donovan or Stevens, what would their coaching candidates look like? (save Duke because of Collins). I don't see Few ever leaving Gonzaga, and going forward I don't see that much of a dropoff between Archie and Marshall, S. Miller or Mack.

How did Mile flip flop when he never took a hard stance? Hickory? Yes. 0708? Yes. Others? Yes. 

[Dalton26 16,892]

There are only two posters on an IU website I trust when it comes to anything IU related. That's the general with anything recruiting related and Pap with anything IU related. Pap said the whole time Alford wasn't a candidate and Donovan wasn't likely to happen.

not even going to waste my time. Nothing I or anyone else says will get you to see your boy Mile for what he really was and that's wrong.

I don't ever recall Rick saying that. This is odd.

Pap was early on the Alford stance too. Shared it privately.
