[mdn82]

Yeah man the family is pissed at ESPN. Can't blame them. Jamal Richardson, the dude that came on his OV to IU was none too pleased with ESPN.

Should've committed to IU. :)

Let’s beat Setan Hall Wednesday and I’ll forget all about today. Lol

Yeah, I'm sure they tried to get airtime from ESPN too. Should be fun for ESPN to get interviews in the future!

These first 2 games have only solidified my opinions of that. We could see a few transfers not just one or 2 after this year. 

I've been thinking the same thing. This season going to sort out who wants to be a part of Coach Miller's vision and who does not. I think we have an excellent foundation being put together that will give us the consistency we've been waiting for.

I gotta stop following these recruiting threads. kids are just too unpridictable.

If the Garlands didn't want that news out there till the 3:45 p.m.  announcement, Darius shouldn't have talked to ESPN.

Not saying you were one of them. But several posters held it against Crean that needed a 3 year rebuild. 

I wonder if that tune has changed

I don't really understand the "3 year rebuild" talk. Maybe it'll be that long before we're a national contender, but I'm expecting a NCAA tournament birth from us next season.

There is a thing in the PR world called "embargoing a story". Essentially you bring a story to major outlet ahead of time, give all the details and quotes, and in exchange for selecting them for the exclusive story to run with first, they agree to hold it until the time of your choosing. 

It's actually a pretty big deal in the PR world for a reporter to break an embargoed story ahead of time.

Not sure IU has enough appeal for Langford, whom claims he wants to play on championship team. He'll be KU or Vandy bound

Vandy will not be a championship team next season. If that's driving his decision then Kansas would probably be the choice.

Okay DG is going to Vanderbilt....can we lock this thread now? just move the discussion(s) to the general recruiting thread.

They break embargoes all the time. releasing the story the story is rare. Leaking info happens all the time. 

[Banksyrules]

I think Langford is gone as well.

Leaking a story and embargoing a story are not the same thing. An embargoed story is when you contact an outlet/reporter, tell them you have a big story and if they cover it  you'll give them the exclusive interview/quotes/inside story, etc. The release time is agreed upon, etc. 

It is a big deal to break an embargo.

If they get Shittu and Langford, they would be talked about. No different than a typical UK class who competes year end, year out

I agree but if you don't want the info leaked you don't talk to a reporter the info leaks all the time.

1.  I think the kid and the family strung along Rabjohns for the publicity and wow factor.  I can’t respect that. 

2.  I think we are forgetting that we have three freshmen playing right now that look like they could be huge for Indiana.  Aljami looks terrific on defense and will cutdown on some of those freshman mistakes as the season progresses.  Moore looks like an athletic freak from what I saw last night but it also looks like he is a work in progress and may need a whole season to catch on and realize his role in Archie’s system.  Justin Smith is a guy who will have growing pains as well but is already proving himself on the glass.  

3.  Because of the play of some of the freshmen and Davis, I think we have a good core to build around.  I can see us making noise in the NIT this season and if the 2018 class is as good as advertised I can see us pushing for an 8 seed or better next year in the NCAA tournament.  2019 will be key.  We have to get Watford.  He makes year three under Archie potentially special.
