Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Gimme a D Gimme an E Gimme an S Gimme a P You know where this is going. Throwing out offers in mid-February - smh. Stu's nailed it. We won't have to worry about having enough schollies for next year. Quote
Stromboli Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Definitely a peek into what Archie is seeing. We need guards. We anticipate having some openings on our roster. Both Beverly and Quinones seem like an effort to get what's left. I only HOPE it doesn't reflect anything regarding Keion. HoosierDYT, johnsoniu, thebigweave and 2 others 5 Quote

Throwing out offers in mid-February - smh. Stu's nailed it. We won't have to worry about having enough schollies for next year. Not sure this screams Tim Priller/Guy Marc Michel/Jeremiah April desperation. Beverly is a top 100 kid that plays with an edge, and Archie appears to have had it with at least a few on his current roster. My guess? With only four guards on the current roster, Archie has been forced to give double digit minutes to a certain guard that he wishes he didn't have to play much, if at all. And he aims to correct that by carrying at least five guards on next year's roster. Also sounds more to me like Archie pushing for a roster-wide attitude upgrade. lillurk, VO5, Hoosiers96 and 5 others 8 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 FWIW you can look at his current season stats at https://www.prepcircuit.com/roster_players/27862664?subseason=522618 Pretty haphazard entries and by no means is every game he's played included but it's all there is.

Just that we're walking into the dance just as they're starting to play the final slow dance and we hope the prettiest girl will agree to dance with us. Lousy analogy but you get my drift. Also wondering if rumors of a locker room fracas didn't bring this to a head and it solidified to Archie what needs to be done in terms of roster management. HoosierDYT 1 Quote

I'm guessing that the past month has solidified what Archie suspected. Right now, we are very likely to have three guards for next year: Junior Durham, Sophomore Phinisee, and Freshman Franklin. I'm thinking we're gonna need two more guards: hopefully one more freshman (with enough talent to play as a sophomore) and a good shooting grad transfer. That is best case scenario for me.

My guess would be that the reason we hadn't offered yet was that Archie didn't know if he would have a roster spot for him next year and has recently learned that he could, whether that means he now knows Brooks isn't coming or that somebody is going to transfer. I don't think a late offer should hurt us as I'm guessing the IU staff has been sold on him for a long time, but I guess we'll find out soon lillurk 1 Quote

Brass Cannon Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Not sure you can say this is a desperation offer. We have clearly been recruiting him for awhile. He wasn’t plan A for sure but he definitely wasn’t plan G either. HoosierDYT, lillurk and thebigweave 3 Quote

IU had been in contact with him for awhile they just didn’t offer until now. They watched him over the summer and told him they were going to track him during his high school year. Playing in the B1G will be a disadvantage in this recruitment Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Bowhunter Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I agree with all the Big Ten holding and officiating. Lots of slow grind it out ball. I can see why some recruits wouldn’t like that. I like watching teams that have a free flowing offense, and still value the ball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

I assume you’ve omitted Damezi because he’s more of a wing/forward than a guard and not for the same reason you omitted someone else? Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I actually wouldn’t take a grad transfer. As we have seen it takes years to learn Archie’s system. Not a good environment for a grad transfer. Unless they come from Dayton Quote

Unless they come from Dayton Sorry I think it’s less of a system issue and more of a basketball IQ, effort, and heart issue.
