The way I remember it, Crean recruited and signed both players.  Then Crean was let go in the spring before their college careers.  Recruits can be let out of their LOIs with no repurcussions to the program or recruits.  However, Archie flew to Georgia to re-recruit Al and keep him.  He then went to Chocago to do the same with Justin.

Both committed to Crean.  Archie needed bodies and was hired in late March, so would have been very difficult to gab other kids for the 2017-18 season.  All he did was get them to stay with their commitments.  He did not recruit them.   I'm not sure what your agenda is or is not, but those 3 kids were not Archie's recruits.

Old Friend, let me retype the title of this thread for ya in case you didn't read it:  The Unbridled Negativity Thread. If you didn't know, unbridled means: uncontrolled; unconstrained.  

I stay on the negative threads as to not bring the sunshine pumpers down on the other threads. 

In case you didn't read MY post, genius....I said congratulations on staying with the theme.  Reading comprehension a problem for you?

Like I said, you're on the podium for being negative.  In this thread and others.  Thank you very much for the vocabulary lesson.    I'd be happy to go toe to toe on that or anything else whenever you feel like it.   Same for the explanation.  You're also on the podium for un-necessary, un-earned, unbridled, and comical condescension.  You're another internet tough guy, which always makes me laugh.  No chance you'd speak to me that way in person.  Enjoy your podium finishes.  I bet you're very proud of yourself.

Untrue.  It would not have been difficult.  He could have had McKinley Wright and Nahziah Carter but he decided he wanted Al Durham and Justin Smith instead.

I think Archie is done tbh. He may not be happy at IU. Would not be surprised if he came to an agreement with the university and just resigned quietly. 

I'm starting to think this is the case.  Why not just go be a millionaire at some other school with half the pressure and an administration maybe willing to play ball in the cesspool of basketball recruiting?
