Archie has to start landing players like this to build an elite program. TJD is nice but who replaces him? The 2020 class has no immediate difference makers.

Has to start? Im sorry I didn't realize he hadn't already landed two Mcdonald's All-Americans to this point. Must have been a dream

How long have you been refreshing so you could be the first to post a Archie sucks we are doomed post?

Nothing on twitter and everything on there says he is making his choice on Wednesday.

Feels like Marquette. Hope I’m wrong 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Marquette people are pretty confident. Who really knows? My gut says it’s Marquette because that is the lean or trend. My brain says Indiana is the best choice.

I say Marquette because it seems to often that we lose recruiting battles like this for whatever dumb reason. We’ve gotten Zeller and Bryant and Romeo. But lost out on many more. Especially in the Crean era. It’s doesn’t feel like. TJD recruitment where we just kinda knew he was coming here. Feels more like Brooks where it’s a tossup.

I was more confident for Brooks tbh. Brooks and TJD were tight. I think our poor season and the Romeo hate online contributed to losing him. I think our staff was confident as well. I think this recruitment is a big reason we lost an assistant coach. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall in those coaches meetings. Also, Senior and Junior were always tempted by the UK allure.

I wouldn’t be so edgy about this if we had some good backup plans. But we dont really have any backup plan at all.

Probably no backup plan because they got 5-6 scholarship front court players expected to return next year

No backup plan?!? We will likely have the entirety of this year's team back, less DeVonte Green and DeRon Davis. And, we will add Leal, Galloway, and Geronimo.

Beyond those additions, what in the world makes you think "we don't really have any backup plan at all?" We have grad transfers, decommits, and late risers that can be added in addition to the return of all three current starting frontcourt players, + Race and Jerome.

I still believe the staff was all but certain Brooks was coming here, but he kept dragging it out and when uk came calling I think father brooks pushed everything in that direction.  If the Garcia's were as star-struck with MU like the Brooks' were with uk, he would have committed by now.

Personally, I feel we've made a good impression on the kid and his family and the rest is up to them.

I kinda like having a scholarship available at the end of this season for graduate transfers.

[HoosierAloha]

I think we need Garcia or another big in this class for the following season, not so much the 2020-2021 season. We’ll be solid there next season with Brunk, Smith, Thompson, Jackson-Davis, Hunter, and Geronimo. We’ll need some experience for the following season with Brunk and Smith gone for sure and possibly Jackson-David too. I’d feel a lot more comfortable with Thompson, a sophomore Garcia, Hunter, and Geronimo and a few solid freshmen bigs than no Garcia.

Look at TJD and the impact he is having as to why we need Garcia.

Back to the adage:

It matters who we get.

Brunk and Thompson arent scorers and TJD and or Smith could be gone next year. We have to continue recruiting at a high level. That is why we havent been able to sustain success.

You think Garcia would see the success he’s having. Ellenson and the Hausers have nothing good to say about Marquette.

We need a skilled big to have success

So does Marquette

[Brass Cannon]

There’s two really skilled big local in 2021. If we get both our rotation should be pretty solid
