I’m sorry, but this is entirely out of line.

Microsoft Paint was AWESOME.

WAS awesome?  It is still is.

The first and only crystal ball is in: Sounds like we have a puncher’s chance. Jerry Meyer puts in a low confidence (3/10) pick for Creighton.  His narrative reasoning for doing so:

“The little information I could gather and my intuitive read on the situation has led me to place a low confidence pick for Creighton. I’m certainly monitoring the situation, and there certainly could be a change. the Miller’s know how this game is played, so I’m not expecting to come up with too much more insight.”

Brian snow and Eric bossi crystal ball picks for creighton, time to move on.

Bossi: 6 for Creighton

Snow: 6 for Creighton

Meyer: 3 for Creighton

That means they have a logical conclusion but no actual information, just like the rest of us.

That being said, MMiller's Instagram and Twitter likes/follows put him as a very, very likely Creighton commit.

Senior night in '25 may be a quickie with Duncomb doing a solo act.

Nah, they give him half an hour for an open mic night.

This is disappointing that we have missed on both TK and MM and no other prospects on the horizon. smh

IU vs PU on TK, I can almost understand, but IU vs Creighton on Miller, I don't. Who are we at this point....

[Honkyman]

Creighton convinced Miller he would be another Doug McDermott.

Recruiting is becoming a concern, I know some don’t think that, but warning signs are becoming clear.

The fact that we are going to have to depend on the transfer route for next years class is just not good.

If by some Miracle we can keep everybody except TJD from this current team.  We won’t feel this loss too badly.  But definitely need to convince some people to use that extra year of eligibility.  
 

Like I have said. It’s concerning we are missing on recruits but if you were going to have a down year this was the year since you can recruit within your own roster essentially.

Stating the obvious here, but this upcoming season HAS to be a big splash. Not .500 in conference, 7 or 8 seed in the NCAA's, but like Cody Zeller's freshman year kind of splash. 

 

My gut feeling after Archie Miller's first season was that he would be fired in the spring of 2022. If we struggle again this season and Duncomb is our only '21 recruit, I think we'll be on track to see that.

(Whispers) Jalen Washington reclass.

I don’t think it’s ‘who are we’. I think it’s ‘who does this kid want to be’.

Competition for highlight reel time isn’t as stiff there. This isn’t in any way an indictment on his character because I’m not in position to make that call. But what we typically see from most kids is the destination where they’re going to get the most exposure. And for him, that’s probably Creighton. Let’s face it, you don’t go to the new Big East if winning is your primary goal (except Nova).

Did he officially choose Creighton? I'm not finding it online.

Agree with every part of this.

There’s several Crystal Balls predicting Creighton so it’s basically a done deal

We need to win basketball games. Lots of them. 

In my opinion, Mason Miller would not have been a primary contributor toward that goal during his freshman year. His junior and senior year? Much more likely.

We don't need to get Mason Miller, we need to have enough talent, and not just role players, to be a perennially strong team; a contender in the B1G and with national championship thoughts when things break correctly.

So, back to my (favorite?) adage: It's not who you don't get, it's who you get.

We need to "get" enough to win big, whether it's Miller, Kaufman , Muhammed, a transfer,  a decommit, a reclass, and through development of Geronimo, Hunter, Galloway, Leal, and Franklin.

Do we have enough talent to win big this year? You betcha; one of the top ten bigs in the country, a five star pg, and lots of effective role players. That's the special sauce if you ask me.

Going forward? I don't give a rat's @$$ how we get a similarly strong roster, but I do want to see that consistently happen. Getting or not getting Mason Miller doesn't matter at all if we get that strong roster some other way. Getting him (or Muhammed) would start that process though.

[Honkyman]

Miller is not just  a front court player, he is also a shooter. The current IU team doesn't have any natural shooters. There are a couple of players who may develop into good college shoots (e.g., Leal) but nobody, certain nobody who is 6'8'' or 6'9',' who can shoot 3s like Miller can. It remains a weakness for this team.
