Aaron Henry has said IU wasn't even in his final four.

IU stopped calling him once Damezi and Hunter committed in that couple days period.

Friday was an executive session so they don’t have to release what it’s about. But job reviews are discussed in executive sessions 

According to the BOT site, there's an executive session tomorrow morning.

Is it a zoom meeting?  You think they would notice if hundreds of extra people called in?

IU wasn’t in his final 5 

henry dropped IU after Hunter committed. IU tried to convince him that he still had a spot but Henry and his camp felt Hunter and him occupied the same space

If Hunter doesn’t commit on the Monday after Henry got an offer I would of guessed he would of went to IU 

Yep, I think that was the exact timeline.  I also think people are being revisionist on Henry's perceived value as a recruit.  He was a very late riser.  He wasn't in the top 150 I believe when IU offered.  At the time IU offered, his other offers were Butler, UMass, Xavier, and Nebraska.  Michigan State, in fact, was the last team that offered him.  I also don't think there would have been a coach that would have truthfully told you that if given the choice of Hunter or Henry at that point that they would have taken Henry.

Around the time that Matt Painter was threatening to leave Purdue for Missouri, I contributed the term "paintered" to Urban Dictionary with a definition of 'blackmailing the shithole company you are working for about leaving for another shithole company" and gave the contributor a name that matched a prominent Purdue basketball fan that was posting on a message board I was on.  Stayed up for a couple of years, LOL.

TBH, the Archie-Wikipedia thing disappoints me. The guy wasn't a cheater like Sampson or a schmuck like Crean. He came here and worked his a$$ off -- for myriad reasons, it just didn't work out. 

Taking shots like that is petty and unnecessary. 

Fans wonder why a coach wouldn't want to come here -- that's why.

Agree completely. The guy busted his a** and carried himself like a Pro. It didn’t work and it’s time to move on. But zero need to dance on his grave. God, I hate that sort of thing.

I really don't think he tried hard enough. He tried too hard to make a terrible system work.

The only coach that ever left Indiana that I have any animosity toward is Kelvin Sampson.

I agree with everything except that last sentence.  This childish stuff happens at all the big programs, yet they still reel in big name coaches.

Billie Gillespie was chased out of Rupp Arena and UK still hired the hottest commodity. 

I don't do the childish Wikipedia stuff, I don't condone it, but it is not the reason a good coach wouldn't want to come here.

Hate to say it.....but we aren't Kentucky.  Butnyes, other programs certainly have the same vitriol.

There is a poster on the other site who works with Henry's Dad. He says that Henry's Dad told him that once Hunter and Damezi committed that IU stopped calling them.
