(2019) SF Trendon Watford to LSU

[Uspshoosier]

The other posters wonder where the fake optimism is created.
 
Statistically, look at Indiana basketball over the last 25 years.
 
Or look at it under Archie Miller.
 
Eventually we will be better but the faux optimism is equally painful and disillusioned.
 
A high percentage of those negative nancies will mute when we become a wining program. At least the reasonable ones.

You can take away positive things from year 1 to year 2 and it not be fake optimism or are you saying that if anyone has optimism it’s fake? Over the top optimism is as annoying as over the top doom and gloom I agree with you on that. But I also think people can take away positives this year if they saw them just like I can see the other side of being frustrated and calling the season a failure. Just because I saw some positives doesn’t mean I wasn’t frustrated at points during the season. Just got to continue to get better and improve on things learned this year

Yeah, positives and negatives. Ultimately results speak.

 

It appears we are trending up slightly based on results, ever so slightly.

 

We lose our 2 most talented players. One may have created significant chemistry issues either directly or indirectly.

 

I think some of the super frustrated posters want to be a blue blood type school and recruit and perform like they do. Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, UNC??? type thing.

 

It’s starting to look like we will never be that.

 

Then the question becomes can we be Virginia, Villanova, Michigan State, Michigan and the like?

 

Guess we will find out over the next 2-3 years.

 

Having patience isn’t easy.

I've being patient since I was out of the crib. The first few decades were fine

[HoosierAloha]

How do you even know that? You know literally nothing about what is happening behind the scenes.

Can we stop pretending like everything is crystal clear? CWat is going to be there, it’s an in-home visit, and he’s committing end of next week. Lots of positives in the face of all the negative context that it seems we’ve been out of this for whatever reason.

I’m pretty optimistic about most things but I don’t think we have a chance unless almost everything falls through. If Dook doesn’t offer and something goes wrong with Memphis we MIGHT have a shot.

I’m not expecting anything either - my point was we’ve already assumed we’re out of this, so this is nothing but positive. There’s definitely a domino effect lining up, and Indiana is a potential landing spot for Watford or Quinones depending on how things fall.

It’s interesting if nothing else. Weirder things have happened and I like Christian being present and an influence

Christian being present could perhaps coincide to what Chris was referring to.

Maybe he is looking for some sort of a coaching/player personnel/paid position.

Interesting nonetheless.

Completely appropriate to hire CWat.

If that would make it happen? Sure!

3pt shooting coach?  

[MoyeNeeded]

Say what you want. If you don't go out and recruit, you don't have a chance with anyone.

[HoosierAloha]

Christian couldn’t work within the program if he wasn’t an assistant coach right?

Hell ... left handed applause coach for all I care.

 

[RatpigHoosier]

So if we somehow land Trendon, have we still lost all recruiting momentum as some have claimed?

I don’t believe it is unless the rule has changed, again. I believe he’d have to be an assistant.

Why would he have to be an assistant?  Because of his brother

This board is 95% sunshine pumping.  If the 5% annoys you, that's on you.

But the 5% post more than 50% of the people here. The part that annoys me is the complete obtuse view on things. Everything is looking down a tunnel, taking no care for what the reality of the situation is. Then they turn around and blast the program they love. All the while it’s year freaking 2 of the Archie era. It’s not like Crean when he had been here for 6 years, it’s year 2. We started 4 underclassmen and people wonder why we start slow, are inconsistent, lack motivation. Growing pains people. Growing pains.

Unless elston has a 5* brother coming up, give CWat his job:)

Jk, kinda
