First, from 1995 to 2000, IU B10 finishes:
2nd
6th
5th
3rd
5th
And that's the "worst" run in Knight's career.
Next, everyone you mentioned transferred except Patterson. Also, 3 of the 4 were in the same class. The infamous class that killed the 90s. Recker only one not in class.
IU's talent level dropped big time in the mid to late 90s
I thought you have been a fan for 40 years or something?
Thank you for writing this out.
