Dylan Windler Belmont

Why would u say that, we give scholarships to Grant Gelon, Tim Priller, Clifton Moore but not this guy? Dude had 30/20 in a game this year
You had better pick him up half court or he’s pulling the trigger.
You should take some time to analyze every unranked or 2 star HS player in Indiana and find the next Dylan Windler for us inept fans and coaching staff. I’m sure your analysis and time will pay off and keep you away from this board.
Windler was a very good high school player and always a terrific shooter. He was 6'5" and about 160 lbs. as a senior and was strictly a perimeter player. He also had a very limited ability to go to his right. He did not have a game anywhere close to Big Ten ready when he headed to Bellmont.
The way you crazies here bitch about Romeo's game, you would have gone out of your minds if IU had offered a kid like Windler out of high school. He went to a program a step below where he was able to get quality minutes early in his career. Smart move on his part. He certainly didn't dominate his first two years and he would have struggled mightily against B1G competition. He also got bigger, stronger, and better as he aged (novel concept and something so many douchebag posters here can't conceive might happen to the young IU players they want booted right now).
The hypocrisy and double standards of some on this forum is simply mind-boggling (but not surprising). Whatever suits the agenda that whoever is the coach now needs to be fired asap so that the next great thing can be brought in to win a national championship next year - with the horrible players the previous guy recruited, no less. And to top it off, come work for the worst administration in the NCAA according to the resident board geniuses. smh
I'll bet you would be very good at coaching "ball douchebag". Sounds like a sport tailor-made for a guy like you.
Yeah, I’m no kneejerk defender of either Archie or Crean, but sometimes players just turn out to be a lot better than anybody anticipated. Sometimes players surprise to the downside.
What about all the other P5 coaches and scouts who didn’t buy into Windler? It happens.
There are plenty of things where both Crean and Miller warrant criticism. In this case, Crean having missed on an Indiana recruit who turned out better than projected isn’t one of them.
Two of my favorites are McKinley Wright and Naz Carter. Two unranked guys who were committed to Dayton who got out of their commitments.
There was talk, and fear, that if Moore and Durham backed out that we'd be 'stuck' with those two unranked guys who obviously aren't any good.
Seriously there was some fear we'd be stuck with them.
Wright ended up PAC 12 freshman of the year and Naz Carter is a starter for Washington who just won the conference.
Sean Miller after playing Colorado joked afterwards that his brother was the dumbest coach in the country for letting Wright go.
Again this board would of had a meltdown if he brought him because of the gooroos (you know, who are 90% writers and have never coached a team in their lives who are facinated by athleticism vs skill).
Over the course of 35 years of coaching high school basketball in Indiana I witnessed hundreds of players have "flashes of excellence". That doesn't mean that IU should have recruited all of them. I watched the Daum kid from North Dakota State and the kid from Campbell last night. Both of those guys ended their careers in the top ten all-time NCAA scoring leaders. Both are damn good players who will get a shot at the NBA. Probably 100 better programs in D-1 missed on both those guys. I guess that makes a lot of coaches who don't make the final four in the NCAAT this year morons.
Ok we gave scholarships to Grant Gelon, Tim Priller, Jeremiah April, Trojan Jobe, just saying
I guess IU is just the most unlucky program when it comes to recruiting. Eye roll
Did Archie Miller offer those players scholarships? If you're unaware, the answer is no. Knowledge is power, my friend.
Matt Painter should have recruited Trojan Jobe. Maybe he could have had some influence on Isaac Hass and saved that boy (and his girlfriends) a lot of grief.
If brains were dynamite, victimcub wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.
I think he's talking to himself again. This little act is getting pretty transparent.
It's mainly 1 troll, with 5 usernames, and 1/4th a brain.
He's obviously developed into a very nice player. Belmont also plays 20-22 games a year against the level of competition that IU played last night.
He managed 5 points against Temple.
Ignorant and weak willed looking for more members. Only requirement is common sense!
Nashville.com had him as the #8 recruit in the South at one point. Til they didn’t.
Spot on. Our fans spout that they like 4 year guys but wyndler was not a B1G guy.
Love this post!
Pretty much what I have been saying. Archie needs some time to develop his roster. And glad he is bringing Indiana kids to Bloomington. Tired of a hand full of idiots trying to impose their stupidity on the rest of us.. Thank you sir![/QUOTE]

Windler did not play AAU bball until after his Jr. year. He played golf every summer... so it is not totally fair to say did IU and all these great scouts whiff on him. Most likely they never really saw him, or saw him too late.
Aren't you one of the posters that is always lamenting that next year's class (a 5 star and a 3 star) isn't highly ranked? You would have us believe you'd be happy with an unranked recruit? GTFOH
Wow, comparing a scholly player to a walk on at IU. You’re making great points today.
We also have only 2 commits for next year. Those rankings are flawed in that the number of commits greatly influences the rankings. If we were to land someone like Beverly or another top 100 we go from 42 to possibly top 20. But I guess that won’t be good either
God you’re dumb. McRoberts isn’t necessarily a B1G guy either. Just because McRoberts is a walk on doesn’t make him a B1G guy, why not use Jager too?
