This is how I feel about Archie. What proof do we have he’s better than brannen. I’m not sure brannen would do much worse if he had Indiana’s resources and money behind him.

What proof?

The proof is in the Kenpom.

Archie Miller Is not just better than John Brannen, it’s not even close.

Now Is Archie Better then Mick? No way. But he’s out recruited & out performed John Brannen.

Archies worst season was 71 in Kenpom. That’s 40 spots better than John had this team this year with his players,

Even if you compare apples to apples.

Archies first two years at Dayton were far better than John’s first two at NKU and first 2 at UC by average.

Archies floor is much higher than John’s and John’s ceiling is unreachable since he can’t keep players around
 
Carson Williams doesn’t seem to care for him. Jalen Tate snuffed 3 years of relationship building and said F U I’m hitting the Muss Bus

Jalen rate could have just wanted to play for a better team in a bigger conference. Which is my point, no one knows. At this point people don’t have to make things up which it seems like some are doing. I mean a whole team just left

Why wouldn’t you compare apples to apples? Archie has been at IU. John was at nku. And you are comparing kenpom numbers? I don’t think you understand how to compare things.

Let’s say Archie is way better than brannen, it doesn’t matter at this point, this is the guy you want? He was at a top 10-15 job, maybe higher, he had money, fans, resources, and he was the definition of average. I’d rather an unknown than a lifetime average coach
 
Brannen is either John Wooden or Pat Knight. There is nothing in between. No room for nuance.
 
Played for St Johns for a year... came from juco before that... not exactly sure how we made his top 2 with florida

Nobody is, but he’s the exact guy we are looking for. OR% above 10, DR% above 20, 120.6 ORTG with 22 usage, 12 TOrate. No idea why he didn’t play more for at johns

Legend approves. Let's get this ship rolling.

We may not have a coach, but we are bringing in talent.

They wasn’t better team. JD is transfer also.
 
If we can sign a couple guys without a coach, a couple more come back, we might be able to have a team. No coach but a team. Let the players coach
 
How are we still getting players? This thing gets more bizarre by the day. Are players actually recruiting for us?

Brannen is still he coach and he is still recruiting, the odds he chooses us over Florida is probably very slim ( I hope I am wrong )... This whole thing and whole process is an absolute sh** show. The administration needs to make a decision so we can either move on with or without Brannen.

It just makes no sense. But credit to Brannen for still going after it and hoping for the miracle 1 outer on the river.

When watching Isaih Moore highlights, he's kinda the white whale in brannen's system. long athletic 6'10 center (on the skinny side) that is great in transition and a major rim runner. 33% of his 2 point shots last year were dunks.


its so sad its all falling apart. add him to what we have plus another guy or 2 and we could have been good next year. he left st johns over PT, so we'd have to be able to provide more of it than any team out there.

A lot of us said they needed to make a decision the day everyone left or a couple days after but we are still here. Maybe we are waiting troll all the good players are gone

unless they find something egregious that John did I don't think he will go down without a fight and frankly neither would I, give me my $5 Mil buyout or he is going to drag it out. He's still out there trying to get guys to come here but Brannen is notorious for almost getting high level recruits so we will see if he can pull one last rabbit out of the hat with a big signing to stick it in Cunningham's face...

I can't imagine anybody actually signing until a decision is made. Guys probably put us on the list (like Moore) and are waiting to see what happens.
