Is Archie Miller a bag-drop kind of guy?

[MuMark]

Does he have to be to get an Indiana kid to go to IU for a year before going to the NBA?

Nice typeset

IU got a little lucky in the sense that he was a huge huge louisville lean before the debacle.  He is right across the ohio r. From louisville. 
Also goes to show that its not that hard to get the indiana kids to stay home unless u are a complete loser like Crean and the state's coaches know it

Not a Crean fan, but he had some pretty good classes including 5-star, Indiana native Cody Zeller. Recruiting was never the problem...

[lawdog77]

I think the stat was he only signed 5 top 100 kids from Indiana during his time there.

Out of how many?
Five could quite impressive or quite terrible. I'm guessing it's somewhere in the middle.

Essentially, he had the momentum early with Zeller, but lost five straight Mr. Basketballs to other power programs - including one whose family were lifelong IU fans.

Actually was the problem .  Cody zeller graduated high school 6 years ago and the best players continuously left the state.  Look at the stars on the xavier and msu and purdue also ucla and others rosters.  When the top 4-5 players each year are 4 and 5 star players and none of them sign at IU year after year, well yes u do have a problem. Many articles discussing this with comments from players and coaches to this affect.  Interweb is ur friend

Indiana probably averages 5 top 100 kids a year, arguably the most fertile recruiting area in the country.  Typically a mcdonalds all american or more a year.  One only needs to look at msu's and xaviers rosters for a small sampling.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Good article sultan, that was the sentiment and the reality.  5 star recruits going everywhere but IU, might want to read it windy.

Debating if our coach from over a decade ago was a recruiting failure at the job he was fired from over a year ago.

We are officially in Scoop offseason...

Nah,  no one has brought up bringing back football yet. That's the last sign of the off-season along with a TC update and the Warriors nickname (both of which we covered already)

I think it gets harder to recruit when fans start calling for your head.

Nah, it kicks into high gear with the Sonoran Salsa thread.....which starts this weekend at the Waukesha Farmers Market!

ESPN article states 5 out if a possible 35...I am too lazy to fact check

Well no one has really regularly kept the in-state recruits in Indiana since the 1980s anyway.  Knight was losing them with regularity as well.  (Eric Montross being the earliest most notable.)  It really is a somewhat irrational expectation of a lot of IU fans.

So I'd say 14% is fine.
Not great, but OK.

Figure that at least 40% (ass-pull number) would leave the state anyway for various reasons, that leaves 21 out of 35 top 100 kids for the four high major programs in Indiana.
That would be 5.25 kids for each program if they pull at even levels. Let's assume, as the Hoosier fanbase undoubtedly does, that they should be the top pull in the state, and Crean "should" have secured at most 7 or 8 kids.

Don't forget the on campus arena...

President Lovell hasn't...

The competition facility remains a question mark. The team plays most of its games indoor at Valley Fields. There is a grass soccer field that was the site of the sold-out NCAA Tournament First Round game against North Carolina, but use of it is heavily dependent upon the weather.

Marquette doesn't have the picturesque grass malls, or the brick and marble structures synonymous with the sport's Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic institutions. It's an urban campus, mixed in with a city in the midst of revitalization. But, the campus has bought up surrounding land, with acres of valuable real estate at its disposal for projects. In the next six to eight years, about $600 million in growth in facilities on campus already planned, said Lovell.

"We have about 11 acres. Whether that's soccer, a new arena for basketball in the future, lacrosse, we now have an opportunity to master plan and use that property," he said. "We're taking our time to figure out what's next. We have the ability to dream because we have the space.

"We do want to get to a time when we have a playing facility for our lacrosse team."

IU should pull in way more than 14% of the top 100 kids in the state - if they have all been recruited by them.  You're being way too easy on TC here, and I'm not even a TC hater.
