A guy like him is going to be able to make a steady stream of 4 stars work. With the occasional 5 star sprinkled in. And some undervalued 3 stars. 

 

This is what I like. We are getting the complete opposite of Crean. Archie consistently wins with high 3 stars and below. Imagine when he has talent?

Some of you guys are nuts. We aren't getting Romeo.

Come on man. I'm having hunting withdrawals too but at least try to be a little optimistic here. This should be fun times for everyone here. Got a new coach. A fresh start. Until he proves otherwise why not hope for the best?

I like the hire but some of you act like we just got Donovan or Stevens and Archie is going to be able to land a kid that is a huge Duke lean with Louisville all over him.

You should know all it takes is coaching with some kids. And from what we've gathered, Romeo wanted no part of playing for Crean. I can't blame him one bit for that. Since Crean is no longer IUs coach, Romeo becomes a very real possibility at IU

Miller was on my list just a little farther down. He has a ton of potential. It's probably not going to be right away. Walking into a star recruits house as an up and coming coach is different than a coach K or Self etc. Romeo isn't your average 3 or 4 star and we are behind with him. I'm not saying Archie won't pull in good talent, I'm just saying sip the kool-aid a little bit !

His family wants him to stay close. Duke would be an exception for him. 

There are issues that can be exploited against u of l also with sanctions maybe incoming. 

We aren't out but it will be a Hail Mary.

Not to beat a dead horse here...but is there a consensus to the question of "did IU turn down Steve or did Steve turn down IU?"

I received some info yesterday that led me to believe Alford turned us down .... but I haven't read through all the pages on this thread since the Archie hire to see if that was discussed ...

We were never getting those guys. Everyone was hoping for them and that's why this is a "letdown". I wanted Donovan too, but just sat back and decided to let it play out. I was way less disappointed doing that. 

Read some of the circumstances of Archie's teams the past few years. Kicks 2 players off and has 6 rotation players the same year he goes to the elite 8. His starting center DIED this year and he still wins the conference. Another player tore his Achilles/ACL this year. He wins despite major roster fluctuations.

UK and U of L arent very far for him so the close to home thing kinda takes away that advantage for us. I think he will listen but his mind is probably set on other places. If Archie got him then wow. That would be the equal to Crean getting Zeller and probably better. Top 4 pick is hard to be better then but Romeo had talent for days. If he gets stronger he has a shot to go #1.
