Why wouldn't it be a year like every other transfer?

He sat out this entire year already. But he was only eligible for 1 semester.

A guy like him is always in play if we are now able to convince him we are a better path to the NBA

I figured I would dive into Archie's recruiting a little bit to see if any future players could follow him over to Indiana.

2017 Dayton Class:

• Mckinley Wright - PG - 3 Star (Interest from: Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska)
• 3 other players committed to Dayton, but are all unranked.

Offers:  These players all got offers from Dayton and are still uncommitted.

• 2017 - SF - Jordan Tucker -4 Star - This could be a nice get since he was already looking hard at Indiana.
• 2018- SG -  Antwaan Jones - 4 Star
• 2018 - SF -  Hameir Wright - 4 Star - we've discussed him a couple times here on the site
• 2018 - SF - Jerome Hunter - 4 Star

I'm sure CCG can add quite a bit more info on these guys.  I'm sure he's already 10 pots of coffee deep over on the Recruiting Forums.  If you are new to BtownBanners, the work CCG and Pap do over on the Recruiting forums is second to none.  Make sure you check it out.  Will be a TON of updates to come.

lol. I don't need any coffee. Pretty nice work you did here. Props to OF and Usps to. They have been great help as well. I'll get started in the April eval period and then we can go from there.

Let's clear things up a bit since there's a lot of new members and some old ones that tend to forget. Myself and others spend time on building and updating these threads and they WILL stay on topic. 

Everyone needs to consider this their one and only warning. The ccg 24 hour vacation is now in effect. Capiche?

If Kostas wanted to come, has anyone figured this out yet? Would he be eligible at all next year?

[Stuhoo]

ccg:

Would also love to know if there is potential with Jeremiah Tillmon, and if generally, the Illini are going to hold onto their current class.

You know ccg means business when he says "capiche"

I've seen where Missouri might be the favorite to land Tillmon now

Anyone concern d on the top of players Archie recruits?


The amount of legal trouble and off court incidents he's had with recruits his alarming. Yes he punished them... but he recruited them there as well.

Underwood retained Jamaal Walker for next year's staff. He was the lead assistant on the Tilmon recruitment. Tilmon even explicitly said Walker is the main reason he's going to UofI. I think that recruitment is pretty much closed.

Alarming? That seems a little much. 
Care to provide more info? I researched this topic this morning and only found two incidents during Archie's span there. Two Dayton players were arrested for burglary on Dec 14th, they were kicked off the team the very next day on the 15th. The other had to deal with a player that was Dyshawn Pierre. He was accused of rape but after an investigation, no evidence was found and all charges were dropped. The university had kicked him out and he was recently going through the process of getting reinstated to the team.
In the first case, not sure what else he could've done. He acted as swiftly as anyone could have. Granted he recruited those kids, but college coaches don't spend 24/7 around incoming recruits so they don't know them perfectly. He seemed to have handled the situation a lot better than FCTC did with the the year or two of issues we had a few years ago.
Point me to a coach and a program that has not had players get in some sort of trouble. I think this is a non issue with Archie and definitely don't see it as "alarming"

AGREED!!!!!!!

 

Every coach will have players get in trouble. The kid you see on the court and in their living room isnt always the same the same kid that will show up to campus. I look more at what the coach does when these situations arise and to me it looks like Archie is a no nonsense kind of coach.

Agree 100%. Look at some of RMK's recruits … the pot smoking incident at the Great Alaska Shootout, Sherron Wilkerson and no doubt many more.

It happens, and it comes down to how the coach deals with it.

It's not like he's had the litany of issues like, say, Sampson or Crean had.

[Jketch]

Although we all want Kostas for obvious reasons, I would not get my hopes up. Not to pull an Albers, but I have heard getting a Dayton player to switch commitments or transfer is unlikely.
