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.
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
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.

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.

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?
