I have just as much faith in Darius picking us as I ever have. Everyone knows it’s crunch time, but I think he won’t be able to say no to Archie

HH and the appeal of playing with Romeo. I’m as confident as you. Probably more so

That's good. Who feels that way? Genuinely curious

Jerry Meyer and those crystal ball dudes. Not saying they know anything but a number of them flipped to IU afterwards which seemed to rouse this board quite a bit. He mentioned hearing things that swayed his decision.

That may mean something. Jerry grew up in Nashville (Dad coached Lipscomb) and I think he, himself has coached in the area at some levels. He still lives there so his contacts are probably solid.

You and I are in agreement that Vanderbilt was leading before HH. But the IU visit significantly altered the landscape of this recruitment

Crean couldn’t seal the deal with most top recruits. Archie is the only reason IU is in the position it is with Garland and Romeo

Yes, but if you were to objectively look back at Crean and his time here, he was in a similar situation as well, There are numerous examples of Crean getting us in deep and to the end with a lot of huge recruits... Crean didn't win many of those and until Romeo and garland sign, Archie hasn't either.

I believe Archie will get better results but just want to point out that we have been in this type of situation numerous times over the Crean era

I get that. But Archie is different
