Yes, I love the 3 we have but a pg and big were the obvious needs in this class. I hope we fill those

Disagree about PG. get a grad transfer if Armaan or Durham aren’t ready

IU moves to #4 class in 2020 according to 247 with his commitment.

I just tried to click on a Star article about him and was denied access. Does anybody know if it has gone totally, 100 percent to subscription-only? It used to be you'd get 5-10 articles a month for free -- or something like that -- before you'd either have to pay or were turned away.

Quote from Jordan Geronimo on why he picked IU: "After my family checked into the Graduate Hotel, we looked up and saw basketball chandeliers. There were old-school bleachers decorating the walls. We were blown away by how deep & rich the basketball history at Indiana was." #iubb

 

Love this kid! 

The Graduate is so damn cool. Great recruiting tool. 

[HoosierAloha]

Big get! Love this kids upside.

 

It seems like the staff is going after big time basketball junkies.

Yep it was too easy to bypass when they allowed limited access. So now it’s all or nothing. I chose nothing.

I’m going to get eaten alive for this but, they aren’t. They might get minutes at the 1 or 2 but if Phinisee goes down, we’re looking at a backup combo guard running the team.

 

We all saw what happens when you don’t have a true pg running the team and it’s not good. We should always have 2 true point guards on the team, otherwise the entire season rests on the health of 1 guy

 

And to address your post directly, yes, whether it’s a freshmen, juco or grad transfer, I don’t care, it’s a must to have another pg on the team that can play real minutes if Phinisee cannot go for any reason

Whose to say Armaan isn’t ready by 2020 though. 

And what are the odds a true freshmen would be better than a senior like Al. 

[Uspshoosier]

Ok then, guess we’ll have to revisit this once he commits somewhere.

He committed to IU. Slater was wrong with this one

Ew I hope Slater didn’t get a chance to change his pick. That would be humorous cause some take that pretty seriously. Him being one of them.

They took forever to show him committed. Surprised Slater didn’t jump in and change his pick.

I have been vocal as saying I think one of Archie’s biggest misses has been the juco or grad transfer game. Zero jucos and 1 grad transfer so far in 4 recruiting classes.

I’m not suggesting it to be the be all end all but there is a lot to be gained from having experienced players on the roster and a proven pg is huge. I would actually prefer him bringing in a juco or grad transfer vs a freshmen and then going all in on a landers or someone to replace Phinisee

Congrats to the staff and the Geronimo family, I love the intensity and effort I believe he will bring to the court!

Instead of hearing about Oladipo from Crean, 

he heard about IU from Oladipo.

 

I was hoping he would.  Victor might see something he likes (or maybe something familiar)  in that kid.

In many cases, I agree with you, and Indiana's had some success with it to be sure.  But...I'd rather develop our own seniors.   I think, based solely on what I see that Archie is starting to build depth and experience.   And I love it,

[Old Friend]

I think I really like this whole story.

Nice to have kids that commit to Indiana university vs the coach, shoe affiliation or god forbid university of Indiana

When has Archie had 4 recruiting cycles for grad transfers or JUCOs at IU..?
