8bucks Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 You got it and it's a big deal. I think Eric Gordon was the last one. He is a 100% must get. Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkThis is one of the biggest reasons why Crean was fired. I am far from an Archie apologist but the reason we are so far behind on Romeo is Creans fault and he paid the price. You cite as an critical example of Archie how Kelvin got Gordon to flip in a short amount of time. How did that work out for us? You really want to follow that example? Is a must get recruit one where you have to risk so much that your program is in shambles months after that kid commits? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appI figured you'd bring that up. Nothing about Eric Gordon was shady. It worked out fine. It's the other suspect players he recruited. Not Gordon. Gordon was a good student.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Iugradman 1 Quote

Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkI have no idea if his recruitment was clean or not but the guy you cite as one who can build a quick relationship wrecked the program. Why keep whining about Romeo? We fell far behind in his recruitment and as a result we fired the coach. Archie is playing catch and doing OK. Will he get him, I have no idea but losing him is more on Crean than on Archie. I just don't get why you keep this up? Do you want to get rid of Archie if he misses on Romeo?

Popular Post Me So Hornsby Posted December 4, 2017 Popular Post Posted December 4, 2017 Some of you need to go to the 2018 recruiting board and read the first couple pages. We need some perspective here. I guarantee that if you went back to May and told us that we would have a class of Phinisee, Race, Damezi, Hunter, and Forrester; plus being in the top three for Romeo we would all be thrilled. We’re still in it for Romeo and nothing is decided. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners woodenshoemanHoosierfan, TXHoosierDaddy, VO5 and 19 others 22 Quote

akinnaird24 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Crazy how everyone thinks he will choose the one Nike school in his top 3 when it was always thought he would definitely go to an Adidas school. Guess the 2 top 5 guys are reason for that, but why Vandy over Kansas if anything? If he wants to be the guy, he will be a Hoosier. Quote
FCHoosier Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 For anybody wanting to watch Romeo vs. Floyd Central, there will be a live stream on the IHSSA website. People were waiting at the door yesterday after school at 2:30 to get in line for the 6:00 ticket sales. Hopefully it will be an entertaining one for anyone to watch.

Jeff_Boy_Ardee Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Sampson was hired in april. He had Eric Gordon signed in November. Why can't it be done ?Vandy has not been on romeo any longer then we have. You don't need a year to convince an in state kid to stay home. If that was the case why did we already get two instate kids? It must certainly can be done.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk$ampson did get Gordon that is true.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
HooHooHoo22 Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Sampson was a cheater but he sure could coach and recruit. He had us in the top ten by his second year. If you hire the right coach they can turn things around quickly.He turned us around so quickly because he cheated Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa, 8bucks and mdn82 3 Quote
