What Can IUBB do to Revive Your Excitement/Confidence?

[TheWatShot]

Here's another novel idea: start landing some recruits. Purdue had a recruit score 50 last night. I wish we had some recruits to get excited about.

We have an incoming recruit that has four 30+ point games.

In Division 1 college basketball.

Ok.  Their least impressive recruit.  Nice

Archie has had one to get excited about in Romeo and everyone complained about him. Expect Purdue to have our number in the next few years as Painter is recruiting weli again.

I'm just as excited to watch tonight as I was Texas, as I was NW, as I will be to watch Purdue. Some call loyalists "fanboys" and I think that's BS. The reason this program has such a devoted following after 20 years of poor administrative decisions is because of us "fanboys". Keyboard warriors calling for Archie's head don't have a solution to the problem - only a finger to point. Maybe unpopular opinion, but I find it somewhat hard to dislike Archie. I personally feel like we're 1-2 players away from being very, very good. And I don't think our record speaks for how well we have actually played. Anyway, just caught this video of AJ Guyton interviewing CAM. It's really good if you have 30 minutes. Particularly the 2nd half. Hope we light it up tonight and renew the confidence of those who are down on CAM and the program! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_taqBfMTJo&feature=youtu.be

I don't dislike Archie and think he would be a good representative for IU. But, what frustrates me about him is his abject failure to adapt his systems and philosophies to the situation he's in.

I agree with this point. Just because I’m down on the program right now doesn’t mean I’m not a loyal fan. I watch every single game. It’s why IU has a great fan base. We want to watch our team

Yeah, and all the blowout losses suck too

Josh, you should start your own glass half empty thread. We're nowhere near UK's level of disappointment. 

[TheWatShot]

I think that article just wanted to lump us in with UK somehow. Saying we're one of the biggest disappointments in college basketball this year would imply that we had expectations of actually being good.

So we weren’t even supposed to be good this year?

5 years ago, we were good. I didn't think we'd be anywhere close to that, and we aren't.

You might be right with the author wanting to include IU with Kentucky somehow because he also wrote this sentence in the article 

Now, let's pause and give credit to IU here --  those four losses are no joke. Texas, Florida State, Northwestern and Illinois all look like tournament teams. But I expected -- and still expect -- this Hoosiers team to be included amongst that exclusive club by year-end.

Way too soon to tell how this year will turn out  IMO

So we should have kept Crean?

To be fair Crean would have already won a big ten title, and we would be halfway thru the rebuild already.

Hey, I didn't write the article, I just shared it from a national sports site
