The more I read about Archie, the more I love this hire. I'm ecstatic about it. Finally a guy with X's and O's who comes from a coaching family. 

I think everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised by his recruiting. He will do great recruiting the state and the Midwest area. I really think he will turn us into an annual contender who's at least top 15-25 in down years. 

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.

We need some really good assistant coaching to speed up this transition.

I really want John Groce. I think he's a solid coach, just got dealt a short hand with all those injuries and mishaps off the court.

I agree, I think Groce is high energy and still one helluva coach.

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 ...

I think that FCTC is a helluva good tv analyst.



Yeah---he can join Dakich as a commentator and Dakich can demonstrate how to defend a pick and roll while Crean demonstrates the importance of deflections! Gotta have some humor, right?
