News broke two days ago he wasn't visiting Michigan.
It's down to IU, Memphis and LSU. We've done enough to get in the conversation. Will we get him, no idea yet. No one knows, and if someone says they do, they have no idea what they're talking about because LQ hasn't made up his mind yet.
We've got a legit chance here.
It's not THAT bad . . .
Yeah, he's still better than Will Wadeson. And Wild Wile. And Wile Coyote. And some of the coyote ugly girls.
He could very easily know and just wanting to use his visits. You and I don’t know that. And neither do most “journalists” who say they do.
This might be the most pathetic post I've read recently. Quit acting like you are informed by sullying a family that has done a hell of a lot more than you will ever do for IU basketball.
The post I responded to was written in absolutes, which was proven to be false days before.
All the site journalists have been saying they don't know where he is going, but that IU is in it. No one knows where he is going, I have said as much before. Anyone that claims to know where he is going is just making things up at this point.
That’s true. But the kid himself might know. I’d say in his gut he likely knows.
It kind of looks like it. I still can't believe Wade got reinstated.
More should come from the investigation.
Hopefully, they won't say that the runner initiated the whole transaction.

NCAA recruiting just seems to be a mess.
We know now that there's been money paid to coaches and recruits.
It must be hard on a high school kid, who's talent is great but maybe not NBA level, to not take an offer of tens of thousands, while universities and networks make millions.
It all makes it very hard to have confidence anybody is going anywhere with certainty.
I'm not trying to throw shade on any kid, and certainly not Quinones, or Watford, but like I started this post saying......'it's a mess'.

Or he might not....or he might...or he likely thinks he might, but might likely be undecided mightily and likely or unlikely. Do you ever stop posting stupid crap?
Even small schools like Valpo and Evansville have probably been cheating since the 80’s. It’s very common and while I don’t agree with cheating, the players should get paid.
Here is how I look at it - if someone came to me and said we are going to pay you triple your salary this year to work for Company A...and next year Company B will pay you 10 times that amount for the next 4 years, with a possibility for that number to again 10fold from years 5-10+, but know that Company A may take some negative publicity that has no effect on you at all...
Do you give 2 shits about Company A? They are just the stepping stone to your end goal. No personal penalty at all to yourself. What fool would say ‘Oh, Im not interested in that deal...’
If the NCAA shenanigans dont hit a kid financially...then why wouldnt they play the money game?

and unfortunately and probably derailing Archie’s plans, is that his brother who gave him the blueprint was busted just as Archie took over. He is probably walking on eggshells and limited to his initial recruiting plans.
don't want to but 2 + 2+ = 4. as for watford, you are who you surround yourself with
i also cannot believe he kept his job. on top of that, he told his bosses to go **** themselves when they called him in for a meeting. there seems to be no end to the corruption ruining the college game. as you can tell, many indiana fans here are apparently fine with it.
company b giving you a big raise to leave company a is not against the law. otherwise, you are ok if archie slides some $ to recruits it sounds like
No, but it wouldn’t change how I view Watford, more the program and Archie. At the moment I fully support both. Even if Watford takes money from LSU I will still think of the Watfords positively.
This also includes Romeo. If he took money, then I’d think “congrats, he deserved it.” However, I’d be kind of like WTF Archie?
i hope not. but in terms of 5 figure payments with the knowledge of the coaching staff, let's stir the pot and speculate. you start
that is different. so you are ok with paying recruits to come to indiana if that's what it takes
it looks more and more like archie's brother authorized big money to deandre ayton to come
looks real bad for the miller family. some family is all the same. hopefully archie's fruit fell far from sean's
not at all ok w Archie paying recruits..
but hard to blame recruits for any program accepting payments...
there are iu fans here who are apparently fine with going down that path of paying recruits to come to indiana (org, paterade). i am not. although i would love to win like duke, north carolina, and kansas...i do not want to cheat like they do to get there and stay there
Difference is the punishment follows the coach and the university...
The kid betters themselves in every way imaginable, punishment free...
there is right and there is wrong. an 18 year old knows the difference. if he doesn't, i don't want him playing for indiana. when the staff and administration feels the way you do, i'll stop following college hoops. that will really suck because i already quit pro ball
I dont want IU going that route either...as I said the punishment follows the coach and university....
The kid though...how can you blame them?
Why should we care about breaking NCAA rules?? We watch to be entertained & the last 20 years have had maybe 5 enjoyable seasons.
No need for speculation. I know of a recruit that was offered six figures when Sampson was here. Seems unbelievable but his brother said “IU got out-bid”.
Perhaps your whit trumps your humor?
Or maybe your humor belies the forgiveness of your ignorance.
They will cheat big time if the schools start paying players. Just imagine
institutions such as UNC with their budget and NCAA protection.
