I'm still supporting Archie, but I'd never quote anything a coach says in a pregame speech as gospel; they'll say almost anything they need to to get their team fired up. And then there's the whole issue that: 1) we lost that game, and 2) it was in the NIT. Doesn't exactly scream "blueblood" does it?

No doubt it was a motivational ploy but I doubt that he didn't feel that way. It isn't like he would have said that about virtually all other programs.
IMO, blue blood refers to a long line of history, not the immediate past. We are no longer elite but we still are a blue blood. Of course if it doesn't get turned around in the future we could lose that status.

Would be good to get one or both to IU - Memphis seems pretty confident though...

Keep Harris on the list, Archie met with him today.
Watford would really help.
The Quinones kid sounds like a good shooter so maybe he is a good recruit, I don't know. I had been thinking that Tre Mitchell might be a good fit but it seems he chose UMass.
One thing I do know is that Fitzner was way off the mark and yet he continued to play ahead of Moore and Forrester who both played harder and could hold on to the ball.
IU is seemingly going to count on Davis and Green for leadership next year? That could be a problem.
They need a leader who can rebound and or shoot. And they badly need some size. Joey Brunk is big but he barely slowed Morgan down, if at all.
Some of the names in the 2020 class I am not sold on at all. I think Miller should cut Flint and Schilling quite honestly. I don't think they are doing much to help IU get to the level they need to get to.
And Romeo, although sort of a requisite recruit, was also bad for the program going forward. They will need a lot from the guards, and I'm not sure they will get it with what they have now.

Morgan only scored 6 points when brunk was guarding him. I believe brunk is decent on D.
Everything I have read on LQ he is not much of a shooter but is good at getting to the rim
Well, he didn't sound like he was guessing, and they will be playing together when he announces so I wouldn't get to excited about Watford.
I've added back Anthony Harris, as reports are that IU is now recruiting him.
I've heard nothing specific on Brunk. OSU did just get a 7' '19 recruit, Diallo, frim California, so they might not be interested. Diallo is very raw, so they could still be interested in Brunk, but I've not seen them mentioned. I did see interesting speculation on Brunk on another site. Someone said that IF he's applying to law school, it might take a while for the application process. Again, complete speculation, but it would make sense.
Nothing I've seen leads me to believe we're 'leading' on any potential recruit other than Brunk. I hope something breaks soon.
Fortunately, Glass and McRobbie don't recruit or coach the team. Unless they are hindering Archie from recruiting or creating a successful culture, they have little daily involvement with the team.
I never liked seeing the principal or administrators around practice or near the field of play. That was our space. I liked they showed up and that they cared on game day. McRobbie could do a little more to show interest. Only Archie can say if he has all he needs to do his job. Publicly he will say yes.

When you lay an egg like we have the last 2 seasons, your recruiting dries up. It’s amazing how quickly the momentum is lost. We have a “dead man walking” type of coach and it’s really showing in our recruiting.
You should’ve listened to me earlier and you wouldn’t have so much egg on your face.
Diallo is the typical African big man who is totally raw and usually never amounts to anyting. Crean knows how that goes.
Agree. It feels like nobody wants to play here.
Must be nice to have Chris Holtman as HC.
Wow, both Hauser brothers leaving Marquette!

Do you have a mental disability, or maybe some inbreeding in your genetic makeup? I'm almost positive you do. If not what exactly is your major malfunction?
Beyond being a habitual liar, and lacking any integrity, and having a very grating unlikeable personality that breeds contempt in everyone who meets you, not to mention an IQ that most turnips look down on condescendingly.. you're also a very strange, weird person.
Why are you so fking weird, dude?

That would be huge for Wisconsin were that to happen.......maybe a job saver for the coach.
Job saver? He has finished in the top 4 of the big ten three of his four years.
IU is not an attractive destination. Facilities are just OK, the program hasn’t had any success recently, and the coaching staff is unproven. It is going to get worse before it gets better.
Archie is out of his league and in over his head. Both revenue producing programs are a mess.
Assuming you're not joking, "preferred walk-on" refers to a walk-on that is guaranteed a roster spot. Not someone that prefers to walk-on over getting a scholarship.
