Really? "Done deal" "he's ours" etc etc etc etc etc one liners over and over with no other context or support vs what some of these others have provided to to the contrary. Look back throughout and really tell us that the contrarians have not provided a case.

Not saying they are right/wrong but you have your beliefs and are only objecting to people and their style if it is different then yours

1) Hoosier guy has plenty of those but he's had plenty of posts in between that have had legitimate theories in them

2) Plenty of people have questioned him when this first started. Sorry for not joining in I guess?

That is a good question. I remember one guy had a foursome with Archie in it.

I said Archie, Alford, Billy D(who didn't) and hyped Mike White though no one really mentioned him as far as sources go. Just thought he was a great fit if the 3 named weren't hired. Alford I included based off everyone else.

Thank you.  It's the fact that he's announcing in his home gym, the fact that the home school usually wins,  the fact that Romeo has Vandy in his top 3 and I'm convinced that Romeo knows where he's going, the overwhelming crystal ball picks for Vandy, the fact that nearly every insider out there believes Sittu is going to Vandy, and also what a couple guys who live in Nashville and have given me good info before have told me.

I think Albers got people’s hopes up about Donovan. I was a Gregg Marshall fan, but Archie was on the shortlist for sure. Very happy with the hire.

Dalton 26 also said Archie as a gut feeling while everyone was on Billy D.

I was calling for Archie from January on. I just liked the way his teams played, and the potential to be a top recruiter based on his brothers successes. USPS was in agreement during those convos as he watched a ton of CBB. Others had Marshall, Alford, Donovan, Stevens, etc. Outside of Alford I am not sure we could have been wrong had we stayed in that small group, but I like the upside with his age.

Yeah I liked Archie a lot watching him but if I’m honest my first choice was Bennett but the moment Archie got the job my full support went to Archie.

I wanted Bennett as well, Archie didn't meet one of my criteria for a coach. 

I like what Archie has been saying but gotta be honest if it takes more than 8 months to learn his system why are we recruiting one and dones.

I said if it wasn’t Donovan, I wanted Archie. Turned out for the best


I agree with this 100%. I wanted Donovan so badly but I’m not sure we’d be in the position that we are as a program right now tending upward and in this spot with the recruits with Billy. Going from NCAA to NBA back to NCAA could’ve been rough on him especially from a recruiting stance. I think Archie hangs a 6th while here.

Marshall was my first choice as I generally believe he is the best Xs and Os guy in the nation.  He would have us regularly competing for B1G championships and deep tourney runs even if he didnt land many 5 stars.  He's just that good and was the safe choice IMO.  I do believe Archie has a higher ceiling but his floor is certainly lower as well.

Archie has been my guy for a long time, always wanted him at IU.

Of course I wanted Billy D/Stevens like any normal person would and would’ve taken both first.
