Who recruited Kyle Taber, Tijan Jobe, Bobby Capobianco, Bawa Muniru, Jeremiah Rivers, Hanner Mosquera-Perea, Peter Jurkin, Jeremy Hollowell, Devin Davis, Stanford Robinson, Emmitt Holt, Jeremiah April, Tim Priller, and Freddie McSwain? I'm sure there were more bad recruits during his tenure than what I listed here
Phinesee and Romeo

I have lived in Scottsburg for most of my 68 years with the exception of 4 years at Hanover College and a couple of years with Uncle Sam. Morgan Foods (for whom my father worked for 44 years) was never in Hazard KY. They started in Austin in 1899 and their headquarters have been there since. Most of the people of Austin migrated from eastern Kentucky during and after the depression to find employment there and farther north to Ohio and Detroit. There is still a natural tie and affinity to UK and I get it. I have always been an IU fan and have agonized during the Crean years. My belief is that Miller will get our fair share of in-state talent. I have seen Romeo play and he is an exceptional talent. My thought is that he will be a one and done, but that's OK if he sets a new precedent for Indiana kids to want to come to IU. I'm delighted with the Miller hire.
Exactly, I think people are putting too much stock in Romeo as he is just one player and if we dont get him then we are doomed.
That doesn't answer my original question. Care to take a crack at it while we await a response from the OP?
Considering crossing the river would mean paying out-of-state tuition, there should be more IU alums....
Morgan Foods was never located in Hazard KY. Their headquarters have been in Austin since 1899. Most of the early employees migrated from eastern KY during and after the depression to find employment and settled there and have always had a tie to UK and I get that. I have lived in Scottsburg for most of my 68 years and my father retired from Morgan after 44 years of service. Scott County has always been a better place because of the Morgan family. There has always been a natural rivalry between Scottsburg and Austin (sort of like NA and Jeff). And you will find for the most part that the IU fans are in Scottsburg and the UK fans in Austin.
Yes I live inNew Albany and there are as many IU fans as there is of any other school in the area. IU hasn't been great in a long time but the influence is still there.I live in New Albany and there are plenty of IU fans here. His father loves IU, so we still have a good shot. I believe that he will be attending an Adidas school for college. Coach Miller knows about New Albany and he has been here before recruiting Donnie Hale. He will be down here soon
The same guy that recruited Priller, April, Jurkin, Michel, et al.
Calm down your insecurities.
Like I said, from my perspective I see few and far between, and that's now a days, I seen none in the 90s. So saying I'm wrong is as ignorant as saying everyone whom comes thru here is guaranteed to see iu fans... They're not
Calm down
as someone who is a life long New Albany resident this is not anymore Louisville country than IU. If anything you will find UK fans which I can never understand.
Apparently.
You guys need to start wearing more Iu swag then if its this important to you to prove a point you guys are coming off insecure about
Mike Davis called Kyle Taber late in his senior year and offered him a walk-on slot.
Yes IU has a lot of fans in New Albany. Biggest problem is UK fans. Back in the 60's and 70's they migrated up here. Of course the 3 classes they had were reading, writing, and I-65 North...
Agree there are a lot of U.K. And UofL fans in So. Ind. many Kentuckians have immigrated to Ind. after they bought shoes, they continue to root for the team of their choice. OTH, most fans are IU fans by far. It seems though that while we have been down some the others have been more vocal.
Chuck Franz, Sherron Wilkerson and Steve Green are all from that 15 mile area.
Does that make you feel better? He made a true statement, no need to be an a$$hat!
I like them French fried potaters. And I could use me another couple cans'o that potted meat if ya got any extree.
I'm holding out that McSwain going to keep improving with a defensive minded coach. I could be wrong but no way he's down there with Jurkin and Muniru.
And I think Sampson or Davis recruited Capobianco.
I would be surprised that he does not go to an adidas school. They just created an aau team centered around him for this summer. I hate how big shoe companies influence high school kids, but it might work out in our favor.
Here is a good article by the Indy Star over Romeo. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2017/04/07/battle-romeo-langford/100173088/
I hate disagree but you must not get out much. Drive down Valley view road right next to Scribner and you will daily see an IU flag flying on a tall pole. And those folks are far from the only Hoosier fans around. I am a lot older than you but my kids are (assuming the 84 elects your birth age) just older and just younger than you. They and virtually all of their friends at FC are Indiana fans. Yes UL is a close second and a lot of UK folks moved over the river in the middle 70s when busing started, but IU is still the dominant fanbase. Even the next generation (including a great nephew who played with Romeo) are IU fans. Will Romeo go to IU ? No they are too late getting to the table as Crean was not a favorite but don't discount the whole Sunnyside because one guy wasn't interested in playing for Crean.
