It’s that time of year again....

[Capt. Crimson]

Where I continue to check the board every 5 minutes for no reason and there are no new posts. Slowly have to ween myself off of the boards for the summer (meaning only checking a couple times a week).

 

Am I alone here?

It’s normal. Traffic slows in April. Picks back up July some. Really starts to get to normal levels around September.

Oh I get it. It’s just a habit I find myself needing to break each year.

Feel free to stick around there will be plenty of us here through the summer. I always like talking IU ball with the people that stick around and there are plenty here that will keep updating all the recruiting periods and any other information that’s out there. Plus Mdn82 isn’t about time for the mandatory rankings do or don’t matter debate that like clockwork happens every year? Lol

I usually still check it multiple times a day for recruiting news. Don’t post as much though.

Ha, oh there will be plenty of convos this summer as there always is. I think following the transfers will be interesting. Who busts out for the 2020 class? Where do we focus on the 2020 class and beyond? Reports on current team. Why haven’t we got a commit yet, in June? Always plenty to discuss.

Oh I will definitely stick around. I just have to break out of the habit of opening the app every 5 minutes. Haha

Exactly! And if I do happen to make it 2 or 3 hours without checking, I excitedly return to see 5 or 6 highlighted topics only to be bummed when it's 1 comment each.

Nope. I disappear for a few months, maybe checking only once or twice during the summer, then, around the start of school, I get more frequent leading up to the season.

The only thing worse is taking a WHOLE DAY off from checking the board, coming back to see 2 new pages on the Anthony Harris thread that is 99% arguing over who ruined Robert Johnson's 3-point shot.

LOL... if I have been gone for a while, I'll usually just scroll fast and look for posts that have hearts from a lot of likes. Usually gives you what you need to know without reading all the tangents. Sometimes there's a good burn as well.

Think I'm tapping out for the spring/summer. I will follow the board occasionally but it has been a very frustrating 3 months for IU fans. I've had enough at this point..need a break. I want to give Archie and the team the benefit of the doubt but I'm skeptical for next year. Come September I will be ready to go and excited for the season. A few things to watch: 

1) Lester Q and Trendon recruitment-Doubt IU gets them but both would be welcomed. 

2) 2020/2021 recruiting- I think Archie needs to offer Leal. He will be a solid player from Bloomington. Last 4 star we got from B-Town was pretty good.....Lander and Furst are a must. Both will make an excellent in-state duo. Would love to see Archie get an out of state 2020 kid (Morton). I think Archie needs to have success (commitments) from the 2020/2021 class prior to the season. Next year doesn't look pretty...needs to have high talent coming in to get some more time. I don't think Crean gets a fourth year if not for Zeller and the "Movement". 

3) Hope this team will work their a$$ off in Cook Hall. I'm concerned about Devonte and Justin. Not sold they are all in on IU. Kept hearing about a culture problem and this team only lost seniors and a few guys who don't play. Don't like a daddy publicly calling out the coaching staff. This program is really counting on Rob/Al/Devonte/Justin to improve their game in all areas. Love the frontcourt with TJD/Brunk/De'Ron/Race. Jerome Hunter is a question mark. I think he plays but how much? We won't truly know until the season starts. Armaan and Damezi could see a lot of playing time if they are ready. 

Love BTown Banners. Everyone is very friendly on this board. Again, it's been a really rough stretch for this program. I didn't expect banner 6 last year but I didn't expect to lose 12/13 and make the NIT. Massive 12 months for Archie Miller. I like him but he failed this past season. It happens. Just need it all to play out. If Archie doesn't have 2020/2021 momentum and they miss the tournament next year, I think it is time for a change. However, if they have some recruitment momentum I think that buys him a fourth year barring a disaster. Thanks again everyone! Will be checking in from time to time.

I’ve slowed in general. I have 3 kids and a growing business. I do like to pop in, see how things are going and offer my 2¢ From time to time.
