They cooled right after that event. It was a classic example of Knight‘s lack of self awareness.
Lost Kaufman to Purdue!

Yes, it was a huge loss......sets us back at least one year on the court from where we'd like to be by year 5.
I see Roberts' name mentioned as our 'lead' recruiter on out-of-state recruits.....'connections' he has.....but I've yet to see any actual impact on any actual recruit. I di like what he's brought to the bench but I'm not sold, at all, on his impact as a recruiter.
To survive, Archie needs to turn it around this year on the court and follow-up in '22 with a PG and two athletic bigs. I'd say 'grad transfer market' but while there's plenty of 2s and 3s every year in that market, there's usually only 1-2 viable 4s.....and Archie hasn't shown that he's up to getting one of them.
well, I think he seems to have his focus as a practice/bench coach, less as a recruiter. Plus, there are different kinds of assistants and a lot are "talent pushers" who work to keep a stable of AAU contacts and that's the currency of their job qualifications. Roberts came from UNCG, so a whole different level of recruit. It's understandable if he doesn't bring a ton of recruits with him, and has to develop that. Obviously we need recruits, but I don't fault him if he was hired more for his bench presence and coaching skills. The new AC seems to have more of a focus on recruiting and more of those contacts. I don't care how they split responsibilities as long as it is successful.
If you're looking at the 247 crystal ball, all those predictions are from 1.5 years ago. His father no longer works there and there's pretty much 0 chance that is where he ends up. Right now the top 3 to land him are thought to be IU, Creighton, and OSU (not necessarily in that order).
Which is just another sign of how far we've fallen. Creighton is ranked ahead of us and has probably been the better team the last few years. It's way past time to start getting us back to conference and national relevancy. Get'er done!
Purdue still has no banners and Cal has one banner with all that and 2 vacated final 4’s. PUke and pUKe stooges teaming up on an IU board. Get a life.
Don't be so sensitive Nancy. Sure people on both sides respect history of IU.
What's sad is posters like you bringing up history so often. It happen you have the memories that's great. I hear Springsteen's Glory Days everytime somebody posts like this though. They passed you by. IU needs to find a way to get relative again, both of these programs have parachuted past IU.
Go back to your board couch potato. Nobody asked you. The 2 idiot posters are here to stir up shit and you fell for it.
let this sink in
indiana has advanced past the sweet 16 once since 1993 since then UK has
8 final fours
3 titles
2 runner ups
kentucky has won 17 out of the last 22
indiana has been to 3 elite 8s and 1 final four over the last 32 years just to put it into perspective kentucky has been to 16 elite 8s and 8 final fours since 1992.
now you guys are dominating them on the court and now on the recruiting front
Go home. We don’t give 2 shits what couch potato or you think. You both have boards to go back too. Take your Heifers and teeth with you.
stings like a b-tch doesn't it VIc? Will keep a eye on you in the rear view mirror The next decade.
Have fun coveting a program with a Crean like coach and no banners. Run along now.
Great comeback. That’s the sound of UK swinging and missing with loaded rosters. Run along. We know you have other boards to try and get banned from.
Bye Vic. Put on that CD Glory Days and remember the good old times, okay? Hugs.
hush victor
#1 in wins tourney wins and final fours since 2009..... indiana hasn’t been to a final four since the playstation2 released.
We are well aware of all of that. Thank you Captain obvious. Now go celebrate your upcoming Elite 8 banner.
If we are so irrelevant, why are you here? Honestly?
Lol. Purdue has never had “Glory Days.”
Well, Kentucky has. Purdue was 16-15 last year.
everyone having fun pissing on each other???? I've seen better arguments in a kindergarten classroom...
Thanks for posting. I have often heard the story but had not seen the video. To give Isiah the benefit of the doubt I think he was trying to say coach taught me how to work hard. But how he got there was not acceptable.
I am in no way condoning RMK past behavior with the following statement, but with regards to Isiah, I cannot fathom any type of audience where the subject matter of his speech would be appropriate. It was accepted, and fairly well received, at first, but when he starts with his SUNT material, you could feel the room get a little uneasy. And RMK's glare....
The dude next to RMK was holding his head.
Trust me on this, RMK has scratched old friends out of his life for much, much less.
Again...take your tooth and go home to your cousin/sister. Take Mashed potato with you to help the gene pool.
It’s up to each person’s opinion what is relevant- but it is a banner and it has been hanging since before any of yours. I only ask that you be precise in your criticism. “No NCAA Championship banners” is true. “No National Championship banners” is false.
I’m talking Purdue dumbass not U suck K. Go back where you came from stupid. Yeah that’s why that bitch Cal stopped playing Indiana. He’s scared the coward.
we play duke,unc,kansas,michigan state,ucla and ohio state.....but UK is afraid of Indiana???? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO never change IU fans.
I’m sorry but let’s look at the pussy cats of UK that has a top 3 class every year since Cal got there and 1 championship. That’s a crap record for the talent they have. It just shows Cal can’t coach.
Uh, we finished tied for 10th in the BiG last year. Why are you talking trash?
