Pretty sure I said can. That’s more of a question than a command. 

We’ve missed the tourney 3 years in a row. Look to be worse next year, our development of players is pretty much nill as seen from this year and we just lost a prized recruit to a school that in the 80s was our rival but has surpassed us so completely the very thought is laughable to every other fanbase. Pretty sure it’s not the time for worthless sunshine pumping.

....did you?

I’m all for being “realistic”, but you’re just miserable. I’m sorry that everyone isn’t interested in wallowing in misery.

While it's disappointing to lose a recruit who we have invested significant time in, other coaches, including Izzo who probably invested the most time, were on the losing side of this one as well. We will have a full roster of players and when next season rolls around we'll see what happens.

Joking but when does Archie say screw competing in Indiana and go straight Crean and try to dominate some other area code?

Sean sure as heck landed some big fish with the FBI breathing down his neck. Nico Manion is amazing. Makes our guards look pedestrian.
Can we just have Sean’s class?

You know how the game is played by the top recruits. We need to find that sweet middle ground to establish ourselves and then land the elite instate recruits.

I’m interested in how Archie and Co. attack the 2020 class.

Yeah, 2020 doesn’t appear to have jaw dropping potential for Indiana. Morton is a solid piece. Caleb Love, meh. Galloway or Leal, not seeing greatness.

 

Our recruiting needs to mirror Michigan State. Michigan state always seems to get their a centerpiece guy or 2 or 3. Then enough of their 4 star guys pan out.

 

They play hard and compete. That has to be Indiana’s goal as well.

 

We can’t beat Duke, Kentucky, Kansas etc at their game even with a Miller.

Maybe I just seem miserable because that’s the realistic assessment of our program at this time.

Honestly I’m not even upset. Good luck to Brooks at UK. I really think Archie needs to recruit guys that have a hunger to compete and get better for the team. I think he is starting to do that and it will be better for us in the long run

Lmfao the meltdown in this thread is awesome! More entertaining than any IU game I saw this year.

If you what fun i read a few twitter feeds. Highlights:

1. Franklin is a lights out shooter ready to play from day one.
2. Hunter is 100% and ready to go.
3. We return a loaded roster and add a mcdonalds player.
4. We didnt need brooks.

So basically we are going to kill it next year!!!!

We're we expected to land Keion?  Seems like total meltdown over here.

We were HEAVILY favored at 12-2 and Kentucky with target 1-4 not named Keion.

Keion however has always been lured by the brightest lights. I’m not surprised at all this is how it went.
If we finished the season near the top of the B1G I bet we would have landed him. But can’t say that for certain of course.

RELAX!

It’ll happen when we win basketball games at a rate where our fans don’t expect the next basketball apocalypse.

So, 3 good, winning seasons?

I just don't like what I saw on Rivals.  Cal and Ed being beasties apparently.  Maybe Kyrie Irving yet again.  I still think Archie will find a shooter in the grad transfer market which is a bigger need.

Healthy Jerome and Good Justin gets me over Keion. Like you said, lets get a shooter, preferably not from Saint Mary's. World hasn't ended.

When was the last time we had 3 good seasons in a row?  Good as in tourney berth.

Holy cow it was Eric Gordon’s season I just looked it up. 

[CrossboneIU22 1,225]

I find it interesting that there are so many B1G teams on this list and IU isn't one of them.

Since I tweeted this out two hours ago, Justin Pierce has heard from AZ, ND, Ohio St., NW, Illinois, BC, Stanford, USC, Michigan, Wisconsin., Butler, Gonzaga, Ga Tech, DePaul, Nevada and Ole Miss. Safe to say he’ll be a highly sought-after grad transfer.

William & Mary’s Justin Pierce, a two-time all-CAA guy, told @Stadium he will leave as a grad transfer. Put up 14.9 points, 8.9 boards and 4.1 assists this season.

IU has lost 15 plus games in three consecutive seasons twice...2009-2011, 2017-2019. Fun times. Fun times...

Big if on hunter. We need a grad transfer.

I see this a lot but Kentucky wanted Keion. After Maxey committed he said he was coming at Keion hard to join him at Kentucky
