Do you want sanctions, because that’s how you get sanctions. It's an official visit - the school pays for transportation. As hostile as the IU administration can be, we won't gut the program for following the rules. https://www.ncsasports.org/ncaa-eligibility-center/recruiting-rules/official-visits Quote Schools may pay for a recruit’s transportation to and from campus. However, they can only provide transportation for parent/guardians if they travel in the same car as the recruit. Flights and separate bus or train tickets may not be purchased for parents.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Looks like his release is getting quicker. I figured from some of the highlights I watched that he could easily get a Klay Thompson like release. And he is getting it somewhat. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners MoyeNeeded 1 Quote

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted October 11, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 11, 2019 Leal has made it his mission to make 500 3-pointers every single day. It’s a routine he just started around three weeks ago. At first, his arms would be sore from the ambitious task, but now he’s used to it and time doesn’t play a factor when he’s in the gym. “I don’t do it for time,” Leal said. “I do it for total shots. I see how many shots I can make 500 in and try to do better every day.” Napleshoosier, woodenshoemanHoosierfan, BGVille Hoosierfan and 9 others 12 Quote

I really hope the fans/admin let Archie make it to next season...we have something REALLY special in the works. I honestly have zero expectations this year and am hoping for the best but there’s a lot of question marks and uncertainties going into this season and it’s impossible to gauge this team. Archie is really going to have to max the potential of every player this season. Not looking past this season but it’s hard to not get excited already for the following season knowing what we have coming in with Leal, Galloway, Geronimo, and possibly Garcia.

Popular Post Old Friend Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 13, 2019 After year 2 and only year 1 with any of his recruits playing at all; given the roster, recruiting, and everything else you see; do people really want Archie fired now? Or...if not, do you want his seat hot enough that he feels it this season? That would be a huge mistake in my mind. 1) If "get old and stay old" is a strategy we agree on unless we can get 3-4 five star kids every year, doesn't it make sense to at least let us GET old? 2) Whoever we'd hire would be the 6th coach in 14 years. (Davis, Sampson, Dakich, Crean, Miller, and _____). Who would we legitimately attract with that carousel and obvious "win now or else" pressure? 3) If you do want him fired now, what is it you don't see happening which makes you think he needs to go? I know the records of his first 2 seasons. Leave those out. I think the "why" matters, and the "why" is legitimate in my mind. As of this moment, given what you see and what you know.....about now and what you can surmise about the future, why do you think he needs to go NOW? My 2 cents? He has recruited back to back Indiana Mr. Basketball and is likely to have a 3rd in a row already in hand. He has 2018 Ohio Mr. Basketball healthy, which I think is an "X factor" this season. He is building depth. I happen to know a former player pretty well (who remains close enough to the program for me to trust) who's told me the players are 100% bought in to Archie. The chemistry is allegedly 180* different than the poison a year ago. Everyone (according to the players) is on the same page and on the same agenda. Not true a year ago, even if I realize he had to recruit Romeo. We have depth (and perhaps the deepest front court in the Big Ten), a growing basketball IQ, players who work hard, and I saw a much improved team late last season compared to earlier in the year. And I saw HIM grow last season given play on the floor, some things that changed on the floor, and the fact that he jettisoned some dead weight. I prefer good coaches who will stay above a carousel of coaches because fans are impatient. I see no reason to fire him now or even have the discussion. I see no reason to light the match under his seat at this point. I think he needs at least another year, and maybe 2; and if given that time, I see consistent success in Indiana's future; and by that I mean consistent 22-24+ wins and top 3-4 conference finishes and NCAA tournaments every season. Results will be what they'll be beyond that; but Indiana will be in the discussion consistently. If that doesn't begin to manifest in the next 2 seasons, I can see the discussion having some merit; but I think those discussions now are premature and frankly pretty short-sighted.

I think we’ve all been patient. 11 years and counting to finish the race is a bit crazy and we are still nowhere near the finish line. I think it’s a great analogy because he keeps saying to be patient but until when? When does he think his tortoises will get there? There have been other programs on lesser history make bowls and final fours... those are the heirs passing us byAs I’ve said a million times, we might get there but tooooo many fumbles along the way and his leash should be tightening Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Brass Cannon Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 The tortoise only won because his competition was incompetent. Unlikely that the actual blue bloods are all incompetent. So kind of a poor analogy. Quote

So kind of a poor analogy. Jesus, his competition got to milestones ahead of the tortoise. So, in my analogy, they are getting to bowl games and final fours ahead of/faster than IU. The finish line for IU basketball is a championship but milestones are a good barometer along the way and others are getting there and we aren’t, at least not enough.

Walking Boot of Doom Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Like it or not IUFB is in its best shape in decades and IUBB is healthy and trending positively despite decades of fumbles. It’s been a long time, but right now when things seem to be on the rise is not the time to lose patience and throw it all out.
