BtownBanner6 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I couldn't care less about any other school in the state. I want B1G championships and banners. Competing with the the schools in Indiana should be far below the level we are at. Believe he was making fun of Purdue for calling themselves State Champs. Could be off base though.

I want us comparing ourselves to and competing against Duke, Kansas, UNC, UK, etc. We need to start having a national presence again. I want Archie to be able to walk into a 5 star kid's living room and have "Indiana" hold the same weight as those other top schools. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Brass Cannon Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 So many things make me happy about the press conference. Haven't watched it all yet. Love that we will shore up our backyard and then expand outward makes perfect sense. And he has the connections to do it. Love the fact we will still play a fun exciting offense. Just more disciplined with better value of the ball. Love the fact he wants to build the best coaching staff in the country. He said and I think he meant it. Love the fact we will play an OoC schedule that resembles a big ten team. Quote
Yogi'sBicep Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 The presser reminded me of a professional Bob Knight. He just has the look and demeanor of a guy who can really chew some *****. It's great to have that! hoosierbannerd and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Josh Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 He said he will not oversign and will keep a couple spots open typically to be flexible.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appSo...did you and I interpret his answer differently or did I miss the part where he gave a hard "no"?Because my interpretation of his answer says he would because he knows players go pro early and transfer.

mdn82 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I just hope he doesn't over schedule us the first year or two before he gets his players in. He doesn't know how brutal the big ten season can be.

Our rotation will run 9-10 deep. If we have more than that kids won't be happy. We have to have flexibility." Yeah we definitely interpreted two completely opposite things.

Do you have the whole quote? I'm just going from memory here. I'd like to see it again for discussion purposes. Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Besides the stuff we're contracted to (Gavitt, B1G/ACC, Crossroads, Clear Heels), he should have about 6-7 games to make his own mark. I'm sure all but 1 at most will be at the S.S. Assembly considering the Gavitt and ACC games are likely to be away. I'm not sure if we still have another home game left with Ft Wayne or if that deal was done after going up north. Quote

Either way, he didn't give a hard no or yes, so I'm thinking he's going with a maybe. Imo, he needs to explore that option and it sounds like he's open to it. Quote
GloryDays Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I'll take an over schedule. Load it up! I got so many of them cupcake games still on DVR from the past 9 years that haven't even been watched yet. Go hard or go home. Izzo and Mich St are a good example.They lose a few early and casual fans go off the deep end.The ones that know realize how much tougher his teams are late because of it.I absolutely hated the way we scheduled under Crean.

Baltimore Hoosier Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Anyone see Dan Dakich's interview on RTV6 from the other night? He's so passive aggressive and comes across as a huge ******. I get that some people may have wanted an IU guy, but I doubt any kid coming out of high school in 2017 really cares about Steve Alford. The 'Indiana guy' thing is overrated. Might be nice to have a couple on the staff, but I don't think it's the difference between landing a 5 star recruit or not. Dizz, ThompsonHoosier and ccgeneral 3 Quote
