So, maybe Archie will convince him Indiana is going to land 5 stars in the future.

Even if we get Romeo and Darius, it doesn't mean we'll get 5 stars in the future. As stated earlier in this thread, IU got Bracey Wright and Marshall Strickland. Then struggled through Mike Davis' tenure. We got Cody and then Yogi, then struggled beyond that. Getting studs has little indication towards getting more later.

I guess I'm just trying to temper expectations. We can (hopefully) get these two, but it gives little meaning on the next classes.

That said, come on down Romeo and Darius!

Lol, I'm trying not to be man. I just feel guarded due to recent history. Hoping for the best but not expecting it

Guys Archie either got or is looking good with - Damezi, Phinesee, Race, Hunter, Garland, Romeo, Brooks, Watford, Hurt, Davis - And this is within 7 months. Did either Crean or Mike Davis ever show this kind of recruiting prowess? Not even close.

Exactly. Archie has clearly shown he has more upside than either Davis or Crean. He’s doing all of this without coaching a game. Just imagine when his team starts winning

I'm not trying to compare coaches at all.

I think the IU brand brings recruits in. Success sustains that. I'm hoping for this success to follow, but cautiously guarded by past results.

I see too many getting as excited as I did for Bracy and Marshall. Basketball needs to start again asap!

I get the skepticism. But Archie is the guy to take IU back to the top of college basketball

I don't think Strickland was anywhere close to a 5 star was he?

I saw someone say they were both top 10 players. I was 8 years old when they were freshman

Wow. I had it in my head Bracey was around 15 and Strickland was 50-60.

I'm seeing one site that had Strickland at 9 and Bracey at 16.

Amazing. That was around my time too.

Yep. I seem to remember both being in the top 2 of pg and sg respectively. I guess that's why I thought of them.
