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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

Terrible 2 decades to be honest

[Hoosierfan2017 20,935]

Still think iu would've been his easier path to the nba. Here, he would've gotten as many minutes as he wanted from day 1. At UK, he will have to fight just to see the court. Plus, Calipari won't hesitate to recruit over him. But, oh well. He didn't want to be a Hoosier so whatever.

No way.

I will say it again ,this isn't a swing and a miss, this is a phew, that was close!  Give me someone who wants to be here and works their @$$ off!  If u want an AAU ball player Keion is your guy, to me that isn't an IU BB player!

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

Telling a OAD is what I am saying......I don't give a damn about the stars.  How did that Romeo thing work out?

Why is IU recruiting Quinones?

Romeo may have been a little disappointing (as was the entire team) but he still averaged 16 points and 5 rebounds on 45% shooting as a Freshman. He’s the best freshman we’ve had since Zeller

Absolutely

Learning lesson for Archie.  5 star prima donnas will string you along and jump at the chance to play for an "elite" program.  Screw that, go get us some players that aren't focused on their "brand", their "ego", and their NBA dreams but want to bust their ***** improving their game and winning games.
