Popular Post coonhounds Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Posted March 4, 2018 Havent been on much today and expected some positive enthusiasm after our kids went to watch. Just caught up and all i seen was a bunch of posters attacking each other. I like all you guys just accept we all are individuals and thankfully all dont think a like or this board would be boring. I am hoping we land this kid to give our fan base a shot in the arm. Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa, ThompsonHoosier, Skrappy and 6 others 9 Quote
HoosierSadaseci Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I think part of the negativity with some of the posters is that they just don't want to get their hopes up only to be let down, so they put on a negative stance. Recruiting is a tough business, and sometimes it's difficult for people to balance their emotions throughout the process. Iugradman, Class of '66 Old Fart, mdn82 and 2 others 5 Quote

A lot of anger going on around here these days ... everyone has different opinions and different outlooks on what IU basketball will be... unless they're obvious trolls, I would say let them speak their mind on an open forum about IU basketball. I agree with about 20 percent of what is posted on here, but I never get angry at the person posting their opinion. The whole recruiting threads are the best at bringing out our best, which is mind boggling... the decision of an 18 year old should not bring out these reactions. Call me what you want... I'm guessing, I've been called worse. @Hovadipo Hova Hugs all around! Stuhoo, Class of '66 Old Fart, Ranger78 and 4 others 7 Quote
Nick_Bragg13 Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 The funny thing about the Etherington rumor that proves its not true is that the guy I talked to yesterday that heard that said it wasn't even Austin Etherington..... he said Archie told Aaron Etherington the junior at HSE that Indiana isn't even recruiting..... that makes zero sense and just proves its not true if people are getting all the different Etherington brothers mixed up on who it is.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Wow. 4-8 in the Big Ten, depending on how our 2 best freshmen work out. Way to stick your neck out. Maybe better than this year, maybe worse! How much great judging, objective assessing, and putting a lot of detective work into your reasoning did that take. Such an obviously safe prediction, like "predicting" cheating by major programs months after it's been a national story with promises for more, and then saying "I told you so" every time it comes up. I've been talking about this type of recruiting and an excuse for us missing these shady recruitments for YEARS. Not just the last few months. Check my history. As far as the prediction, yes, you are right, it's a safe pick now. I'm not worried about that yet as the roster and other teams rosters shake out. My point was without Romeo or a big change we are a middle B1G team next year. That was my point with that comment. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Skidmarks 1 Quote

Ok, not sure you're picking up what I'm putting down as I'm talking about dead set negativity when it comes to recruits, but since you admitted you don't know what a good program looks like, then why would that make you want to be negative? thebigweave 1 Quote
