Good hire for themLooks like Archie to IU. Good luck, interested to see if he can win anything there.
Good hire for them
Indiana was a better program before Knight than Georgetown was before JT Jr. That's inarguable, but it was also 45 years ago (and it doesn't appear Indiana was a top tier program then). Post-Knight / JT Jr, the programs have had a very similar level of success.
Georgetown is supposed to have great facilities, is in a great conference, and is in the middle of a basketball hotbed, with strong connections to the community. I don't buy that it's that much harder to win or recruit there than Indiana.
Two issues I see for Georgetown: 1) JTIII is supposed to have a huge buyout, could hinder their ability to pay a big name since they don't have P5 football revenue to help out. 2) JT Jr might sabotage the next guy.
Any program that plays its games off campus is immediately fighting an uphill battle. I fully respect Georgetown and think it's a good job but I don't think it's in the same tier as IU.

Who was that Wake grad who was an assistant at Dayton a few years ago? He won some awards for recruiting if I remember correctly.
Good hire, I guess. I think Miller is a very good coach, but I don't know what he brings to the table that Crean didn't.
Wonder how long it will be until Alford gets fired at UCLA.
Alford will hang on at UCLA as long as he has Balls.

Kelsey to Dayton now, maybe?
