Memphis vs Indiana recruiting needs

Nope sure didn’t. Team couldn’t play defense, turned the ball over way too much, didn’t have a pg because TC didn’t believe in them I guess. Had to deal with wasted schollies on players that shouldn’t have been here.
Archies 2 seasons have resulted in records equaling the worst of 2 of Crean’s last 6 years!
Also in there were 2 B10 Championships for Crean.

Ready to get rid of Crean for a more consistent floor and an upgrade....Archie has failed to deliver that...and possibly looking at the worst season of his tenure next year in year 3...

In reality, Archie Apologists are banking on Crean recruits to bail Archie out next season in Smith, Davis, and Green!
 
Archie did not take over a mess.
Not at all.
Not at all?

Crean's last year they went 2 games above 0.500. After the season they lost three starters: a first round draft pick in OG (granted he played only 1/2 the season), Bryant who is playing well in the NBA, and Blackmon who was the leading scorer. They did get to keep the inconsistent Johnson and turnover machine Newkirk. Coming in to replace those leaving were Smith, Durham, and Moore.

So you think he came in to a good situation? They lost a lot of talent from what was basically a 0.500 team.

Man, what IU fans would dream about today w a healthy OG, Bryant, Blackmon, RoJo, and Newkirk/Durham....plus Juwan w no shoulder pains...or Hartman healthy too!

And people want to throw Archie’s mess out because of an unknown FR Hunter and a RS Freh Race Thompson...

The Archie Apologists are graspers...

Diff is cream had 9 years...got his honeymoon...god, you still suck at this

Pay for therapy and keep you emotional baggage off the board.

Ya, Arch took over a perennial tourney team and ran it into the ground. Lol
 
Yeah and Archie took over a mess. Did Penny have the problems taking over in Memphis that Archie has at Indiana. Just stop with your crap because that’s all you post.
Are you serious? Do you really live in this small of a bubble?

Penny took over a conference USA which hadn’t been to the tournament in 4 years and had been to the Sweet 16 in a decade. Memphis is a dumpster fire that he’s rebuilding.

Archie took over an IU program that had won 2 of the last 4 Big Ten titles and inherited guys like Juwan Morgan and Robert Johnson. It wasn’t a rebuild.

How do some of you live in such a bubble?

Crean tried to recruit PG Kyrie Irvin since he was at IU. Even combo
guards (high caliber) steered clear of him.

He signed this kid at Georgia Anthony Edwards who is a two guard prospect
who should be good for them. He may get a transfer next year for signing
this elite player he going to take over some player minutes big time.

You mean the Juwan Morgan and Robert Johnson that missed the tourney the year prior? How many times do I have to tell you this?

You...are...garbage

Expecting anything year one means you only have agenda and no sense. Please, point out that at one ISU game as the moment you knew...

Lol. Again, you are just garbage.

The guy is so dumb he thinks Memphis is in Conference USA.

It was replying to someone who was criticizing Penny for...wait for it...HIS FIRST YEAR.

Catch up man or take a break and let the adults handle it.

I wasn't criticizing anyone moron. You stated Penny was greater than Archie. I pointed out they play in a weaker conference and still had losses to teams they shouldn't have. I guess you only read and understand what you want to you clueless prick.
 
"leaning a little more toward Memphis and Indiana"
Quinones, April 30.

From a tweet by John Martin.
 
Sure is gloomy around here. Lots of negative thoughts.
I think we’ll be better than people think if Hunter can play consistently. That’s a big if due to the talk surrounding his surgery.
Go Hoosiers!

Lol
Davis is the best if the 3, and he is injured a lot.
 
It will be the Archie recruits that carry IU to their next NCAA Tournament appearance.
I think Coach Donovan will do just fine blending Archies leftovers w his new recruits after next season...so we agree on something!
 
It is officially IU vs. Memphis for Quinones. Announcement, Friday.
 
Feel free to chime in. I generally don't post a lot about recruiting, but it does seem like IU is up against Memphis for 2 remaining recruits in Watford and Quinones.

A quick look at Memphis shows they lose 3 senior guards and return just a couple who played, one being a 5'9" point and Lomax a 6'6" guy.

But they have 2 centers and a PF signed and a returning 6'10" guy who played alot.

I'm thinking they need guards as bad as IU does, but also, I'm thinking they don't really need Watford as badly as IU does.

With Watford at IU, I think he would do a lot of scoring from the wing and if Hunter is healthy, Indiana could spread wings and have TJD, Davis, or Brunk at the 5 as a single post, which is pretty much what they want to do.

On top of that IU has veteran guards who will be looking to pass. I think that is an appealing situation for an inside outside guy like Watford.

Certainly, other schools are involved, but I am surprised to see that on paper it looks to me like Watford would fit at IU better than Memphis and Quinones, as much as IU needs 3pt shooters, would fit very well at Memphis.

I don't have a lot of knowledge of Penny's team, so this is just one fan opinion.

Needless to say, Indiana needs guys who can score the 3 ball.

so you think Watford to IU? I had heard Auburn made a late push from some dude named @Kellerdog but Memphis seems to be the team for now.

I cant see him at Memphis.... Hopefully IU or Auburn will get a real chance at him.

Who wants to play for Urkel's friend anyway....

T. Watford.

Well, that eliminates LSU if you ask me, yes. He was recruited by Avery Johnson and U of A had a transition to Nate Oats and who knows whether he was able to re-establish that potential connection.

I think on paper IU is a very good fit for Trendon. I believe he would fit better at IU than Memphis, even moreso if Quinones chooses Memphis. At IU he would have a chance at a lot of outside stuff as well as post isolations. I personally don't see that with the crowd Memphis has. But who knows?
 
Memphis appears to have lost 5 seniors and 2 transfers. Room for 7 then, on paper.
 
Penny > Archie

It’s pretty simple.


Just when I thought you couldn’t outdo yourself, you drop this jewel.
You don’t seem to do yourself any favors with each post you make. This is a terrible take. Penny has done absolutely nothing except be penny. He coached high school, much different than college. Let’s see how well penny does with talent, in a terrible conference.

One word...credibility.

And he didn’t lay an egg last year with a very talented roster.

How far did Memphis go in the tournament this yr? Oh that’s right they were watching it on tv. There was no talent on that team.
