Like our p.g for next couple year's. But if Lander slips away ..We better put the full court press on for Whitt..
I sometimes wonder why we throw out so many offer's ..Now I see why..
Illinois..Meh..Underwood is unimpressive to me.
But he seemsto be putting together pretty good classes
Thought's ?

makes sense for the kid, Donsunmu is expected to enter the draft after this season. Good chance to be starting PG in Champaign as a frosh. And his dad played pro ball in P Rico with one of the UI assistant coaches. We were never going to land this kid.

Interesting connection. U guys are better than google

No you don't..... lol .... Miller doesn't offer many players.

Currently we have 12 offers on the table. Compared to some other schools .. like...... Georgia who has 36 offers, or Texas AM who has 54. Ole Miss has over 50. Florida has almost 70.Illinois 47. Iowa 46. Maryland 36. Minnesota 29. Neb 33. Rutgers 52.

I could go on and list probably 200 schools who have double the offers on the table. I've seen Crean with as many as 70+. Buzz Williams who makes Crean look stable calm and competent, once had 90.

Miller doesn't make many offers. This is known ..

Care to take that comment back?

Good recruiter
 
Who has never had a top 20 recruiting class. Has he ever even had a top 40 class?

What exactly makes him a "good" recruiter?

I agreed with 2 of your posts above but not this one. Underwood is getting some good ones. He has 2 solid top 75 kids for next year plus Kofi Cockburn (top 50) this year plus Georgi (who turned out to be much better than advertised) and Ayo. Ayo may be 1st team all conference this year.
He is landing some talent. Curbelo will play and be a big impact next season.

Yea, I know his career staring at SFA. No one would call him a good recruiter though at least not yet. He's recruited a couple guys, basically two, but hasn't recruited a good class once.. not one.

Here come the Koolaid guzzlers.

Some of you need to set down the bottle for a bit.

We better find a backup option for Lander. Fast.

Ok, fair.

You might be right. But IU is still very much part of a 3 horse race. He does have a favorite but is keeping it close to the vest.

I think I will try an assist for TMP, save him from any unnecessary typing.

ESAD.

If you want to dispute his post with facts then have at it but I know you won't so I think I will go with my first thought.....

Why is his recruiting budget so high if he isnt even recruiting a full squad, and now you show that he is recruiting and offering vastly less scholarships to fill his roster than more successful coaches?

Yet, I think you tried to spin that in a Pro-Archie way...
 
Yawn.

This dude is a fire cracker but he can't shoot for shit and you guys would crucify both if he came here.

Oh, we only have one spot available and he's all in on Garcia.

If Garcia says no then that's another schollie for this monster 2021 class even if Lander goes somewhere else.

Once again, WTF are you talking about???

TMP was setting straight another poster that was talking about IU throwing out so many offers. He said NOTHING about his recruiting budget or not having 13 scholarship players. The scope of his post was very narrow given the statement by Hatchets5times.

Do you just post when you are drunk or do you have reading comprehension problems?

At the very least, you try and spin EVERYTHING to an anti-Archie slant which makes you spin accusation against TMP VERY ironic.
 

Your post perfectly sums up how most threads on this forum have been ending up lately. I really don’t understand how dozens (?) of adult posters can become so unhinged just because a couple of posters like to complain/whine. I get it. There are a few people who post negative remark after negative remark about IU basketball. The problem with this forum is the reaction that it generates. Rather than ignoring people who think that everything about IU basketball is in the toilet, there is a group of posters that feel compelled to respond.

And frankly, my impression of them is perfectly presented in that video you posted.

Not drunk, just a very stupid troll.

You know, you are right, and I am one of the people that responds to the complainers.

I am just going to put them on ignore and make my life easier!

Thanks

There are no guarantees in recruiting. Panic only leads to getting guys you really don’t want. If he comes, great! He looks like he’ll be an excellent player, but perhaps only for a year wherever he goes. If we don’t get him I for one won’t be crying my eyes out. A future backcourt of Rob P and A Franklin is going to be really good, two guys who can defend and score. In my view if we get Garcia for next season with what’s coming in and returning next season, we have the makings of a very strong roster, IMO far better than any since the Zeller years.

I'm a Hoosier living in Terre Haute and going to Illinois is not exactly unknown to me. I won't pretend to speak for anyone other than for myself but when I go, I take I-70 and I try very hard to say off of it, whether the curbehi or curbelo.

Some of you act like we have Calipari or Coach K roaming the sidelines. Archie has one recruiting class ranked in the top 30 in his entire career.
 
No Lander .No Frust...Would be a huge disappointment to me.
Guess we'll see...I'd like to see a splash recuit...Like Garcia !
We'll need much more than Leal..Galloway..& Geronimo to stay in the top 4 of the Big.imo

You would have wanted coach K fired by the end of year 3. Nothing you say is based in reality. You could possibly be the most ignorant person on any message board.

The teams that you mentioned obviously do not care who they get or, they do not have a real recruiting plan. 90 offers in one class for 3 to 5 slots? Come on man.
