I dont see our program landing many 5 stars. Hunter/Phinisee type of guys is what we will see. IU isnt sexy. We are the blue collar coal miner in the planet of basketball.

Everyone is beautiful to somebody.

It has nothing to do with being sexy. It has to do with ponying up money to get 5 stars. I agree we should shift our focus to 4 stars and not waste our time going after 5 stars going forward. Now can we lock this thread since Romeo is going to vandy? You make the call.

I don’t want to be effing Purdue. We need to land five stars or at least high four stars.
It is such a narrow and short-sighted decision to play somewhere just because you like one other player. 

Then are you willing to play dirty? Thats the only way to get 5 stars. You don't get them be being salt of the earth.

Romeo and his family won’t want to be associated with any of that negative energy

Yep. This report really couldn't have dropped at a better time in terms of this recruitment.

Man, your tank is always half empty. I couldn't disagree more.

There is not enough on vandy to sway him away I don't think. That assumes vandy is his first choice. Kansas I could see being out though.

Maybe, not likely but, after the Louisville thing he has been waiting to see what else might be uncovered.

Maybe but I doubt it. I. Sure drew already called him today.

I agree that Indiana isnt "sexy." Not often the program goes outside the box in creativity. Hell we have had the same jerseys for a billion years. Always hesitant to change because of "tradition." As if Duke, Kansas and UK don't have any? Even Hoosier Hysteria has became dull. Need to spice things up. Get some new unis, kick things up to 11 for HH and start to ball out like we haven't been a bear hibernating for 30 years.

Not sure pUKe is a good comparison.  Tradition aside that's one of the most corrupt programs in NCAA history.

[Myrmidon76 614]

Indiana is the embodiment of tradition. The very things you list are the things that have led to money rotting the sport from the inside out. I'll keep the stuff that doesn't appeal to the corrupt. It isn't about jerseys or hype nights here...and if that's all that really matters...my God...can't you see that everything those "cool" schools did cost them their decency? Corruption seeks those capable of being corrupted. Tradition is a deterrent to that very corruption. Indiana wasn't listed today. The rest of the bluebloods were...take some pride in that and quit wanting to be just like them.

According to statistics they really aren't. Kansas on the other hand... I think they're #1. Either way, they are considered "sexy" while we are considerd "dusty." There is a reason IU is not a media darling. We are not sexy. We have less pizzazz than a Pizza Pizzazz. We just keep trotting out the same ole "tradition" theme year after year hoping it'll stick to someone new.

Ey, IT'S INDIANA!!  IT'S INDIANA!!  When you are proud of your tradition, why shy away from it?

[Myrmidon76 614]

Jerseys don't win games. If kids choose a school based on jerseys, I don't want them here. Play for Indiana...not that Adidas or Nike jersey. Corruption starts by the eroding of things considered sacred and grows..always has, always will.

[Myrmidon76 614]

I consider myself blessed to not understand how or why immaterial, insignificant things should be overhauled to appeal to the non- basketball side of basketball. I'll cheer for the game, you can cheer for jerseys and hype shows.

[Myrmidon76 614]

You are passionate about your position, I can appreciate that. I am passionate about mine. I have watched college teams rise and fall. All of them had one thing in common, a desire to attract certain modern players. Players like those listed today. Players that, if discovered, would lead to program sanctions. Those programs always fail. Every single time. I am not against unreasonable updates to uniforms (lengthening the shorts back in the 80s-90s, widening the uniform top, altering logo). The void that was started today should be clear evidence that tradition means clean. If everything shakes out the way I think it will, Indiana and all it's hokey stuff will look like a rose. The dial will be at 11 all on its own. Besides, Archie rolled back the stuff Crean did at Hysteria and I don't see him reversing course on that.

That’s not true.  There was this one girl in high school who will be lonely her whole life.  It was hideous. 

[LIHoosier 26,023]

Congrats to #10. He'll forever claim to be postered by Romeo.

New Albany 53-23 at halftime. Romeo with 32. Making everything look easy. Lord
