Sent from my SM-G930V using BtownBanners mobile app If you want to get the top recruits then you need to make your program the "cool" place to play at. An easy way to do that is to get a well known rapper to show up. Hoosier Hysteria is an event so I'm not really understanding the "it's about basketball." It's a hype event designed to get people excited about the upcoming season. MIUGA, VO5, thebigweave and 3 others 6 Quote

We are gonna have to go head to head against the Duke/UK/Kansas/UNC's of college basketball to land those players so we have to make IU a cool school to go to again. thebigweave 1 Quote
coonhounds Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Iu is cool again already. If u didn't notice our last coach was the very opposite of cool archie will be the answer just relax no major rap star needed unless archie thinks so[emoji41].

We are gonna have to go head to head against the Duke/UK/Kansas/UNC's of college basketball to land those players so we have to make IU a cool school to go to again. In my opinion those schools are not making deep tourney runs because they are perceived as a cool destination because they had an entertainer there for one night. Those kids were going to those destinations regardless of how cool the school looks for one night. Those schools have another thing in common with each other they are all ran by a hall of fame coach. Dirty or not each one of those coaches have the respect of the recruits and results in the tournament to back it up. (Even though some of those coaches have early exits on their resume as well with talented rosters). Hire a 5 star coach that produces results and IU will be "cool" again. As a family experience I love the entertainment part of hysteria. I enjoy it as does my 5 year old and 4 year old and wife. They could care less about the scrimmage but that part is for me Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa, thebigweave and MIUGA 3 Quote

Anyone remember the South Park episode where Randy tried listening to tween wave? Remember what he actually heard?

Hoosier Roots Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I guess a better question for this is who and what is HH actually for? At other blue blood schools, it's obviously a hype/recruiting/entertainment event, shown by things like lil yachty (who is extremely popular with kids under like 22 in particular) at Kansas and Drake performing and even warming up with the team at BBM a few years ago. Should Hoosier hysteria be a strict and focused basketball event like some want or should it be more of a recruiting entertainment event like what other schools are doing?
