[HinnyHoosier 6,472]

I’m not saying by any means that they should, but is it possible that IU fires Archie?

There is no fudging way that should be considered at this point. A kid buying snake oil from a snake oil salesman shouldn’t change that.

Just because Crean stunk out loud doesn’t mean momentum hasn’t been lost

We have a 5* center, Mr. Basketball coming in next year. Something we DESPERATELY needed due to DeRon Davis’ health. Keion hurts but you’re not convincing me one iota that Archie has lost recruiting momentum. Quite the high expectations to think he is falling short bc he didn’t get two 5* recruits in his second class. If next years class stinks, I’ll start to inch into your side of the fence.

Let’s hope someone makes a massive jump this summer

Because of this?

Of course not, nor should they.

And if they fire him after 2 years you can FORGET ABOUT IU getting any good coach. Because what coach in their right mind would want to come here and be given so little rope.

So yes. Let’s fire him and then the only coaches that would want to come here are CC coaches or coaches that have been fired multiple times.

Let’s see how the coaching carousel shakes out. The Decommits and guys getting released from their LOIs is almost another recruiting period itself.

Did it ever occur to anybody that in the past few weeks that Archie told KBJ that he didn't want him?

[ElectricBoogaloo 4,319]

Alright Archie - we need to make some noise in the tournament next year. Three years of missing the big dance would be unacceptable. Now you have one less 5 star to help you do it. Let’s see those coaching chops. 

[A.j. Nigh 1,000]

I only saw him play once, at Southport against Romeo.  I came away less than impressed.  That said, he’s a top ranked player in the class for a reason, but I really don’t think it’s a big miss.  As others have said,  we don’t need one and dones right now.  This was his dad’s decision in my opinion.  Best of luck to them, but if I could bet on it, I’d say he’s overseas in 3 years and his time at UK goes nothing like Cal told him it would.

Who else are we in on this class. Still don’t have a shooter.

Not a chance!

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Really curious to see how the minutes shake out in Lexington next season, there are sure to be some hurt feelings with three incoming recruits b/w 6'6" and 6'7" plus the returnees.

[Ryno6284 4,279]

Jerome Hunter never playing a game at IU is a bigger deal than Keion picking UK or Romeo not living up to expectations for one year and going pro!  Jesus people calm down,  I truly believe Archie is laying the groundwork for longevity here!  The short term really sucks, but let it unfold,  "the best things come, to those who wait!'

Before a smartass comments, I know,  we have been waiting a long time.

Why would another Coach want to come here?  Million dollar salary, great facilities, decent history, basketball state, great campus, one of the largest recruting budgets.  Any Coach that would be worth the hire would look at the two year body of work by Miller and understand the deal....wouldn't even phase them

The kid was patient enough to wait out higher UK priorities to land where he clearly wanted to be. Definition of a business decision. Good for him.  I hope experiencing that brazenly mercenary culture is everything he’s hoping for. 

I really hope going forward that CAM realizes this is what happens when you aren't the prettiest girl at the ball.  If a recruit is pulling this slow strip tease, be prepared to prioritize someone else.  Seeing that we are getting in late on some guys like LQ, makes me wonder if we didn't take our foot off the gas, expecting Brooks to come to IU.

I also have to say that daddy Brooks "how much this means to me" comment had to be a bit of punch in the nuts to Schilling.  Then again, I have been getting the feeling that Senior is a bit of a Lavar Ball type.

Checked the Kentucky board and looked at about 15 posts. Three of them were 
“not sure he’ll be a good fit.”
”how tall is he? Don’t care to look it up.”
”What position does he play?”

They dont care. They get 5 five stars a year

I honestly wanted TJD more the Keion before TJD commited. This isn't a big deal people.  We are going to get talent that is here for 2-3 years instead of what we saw with Romeo this year.  Now whether or not that can hang with the likes of UK or Duke, remains to be seen! 

Its a big deal right now. Next year looks rough.

Money isn’t everything when your in essence a lame duck coach.

Oh yeah. I’m sure the coach of an NIT team that’s losing its two best players is telling 5 star recruits he doesn’t want them...
