That is the perfect focus for a threat entitled "The Season Is Finally Over, Now Where Does This Program Go?" And, let's believe unsubstantiated rumors about having to keep Crean's recruits (even though Miller pushed one of them out of the program). How about a different angle? What should IU do to bring players into the program who can shoot 3-pointers at a respectable rate? I have to confess to feeling jealous watching Purdue hit 15 3-pointers last night on their way to the Elite 8. How do we get guys like Ryan Cline and Carson Edwards to come to IU? Should IU even be considering recruiting Joey Brunk when what we need most is shooters? Go to the HYPER. :) Napleshoosier 1 Quote
Hillsdale87 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 What was up with CAM and McKinley Wright in year one. Wright ended up at Colorado. He would have been a difference maker. Was CAM told hands off?

Shooting issues, especially free throws, are a trend in Miller's entire career so I have a hard time blaming players (at least the players solely) for that. Not to be like this :) aren't those what Asst Coaches do? Quote

I was far more disappointed with the complete lack of growth by Moore. Forrester was a freshman. Thompson was too, for all practical purposes. Moore showed nothing for a sophomore; and while I wish him well, we won't miss him. Yeah, not finding minutes this year........wish him the best, that was the right decision for the young man Quote

He did tell him that if he wanted to come to IU that a scholarship would be available, but I don't think he actively recruited him after that. C;est la vie. Quote

Damezi looked just as good if not better in high school. The fact one looks lost now probably a result of the different environments. Quote
Hillsdale87 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 After a year with the MSU staff. No guarantee that would have happened here Yes, because nobody at IU has gotten better under Archie... As has been discussed many times, Henry is a good player with a bright future, but we need shooters, so prioritizing one made sense. In hindsight it doesn’t look great, but the logic was fine. Henry’s progression this year has been impressive, but he’s also been able to play a pretty specific role around a lot of very good upperclassmen. That’s a great environment to learn, and he’s taken full advantage. But that’s a much different environment than our young guys have had. If Henry had come to Indiana, Archie would have been criticized for taking another slasher who can’t spread the floor. I know he’s hit some 3s tonight, but he’s made 12 all year.
