This tweet cracked me up. Miller's big accomplishment is getting 40% of the top 5 players in the state of Indiana over a 4 year period. Those players:

2018:
Romeo Langford - NBA
Robert Phinisee - 4* - #135 - Avg 7/2/3
Damezi Anderson - 4* - #124 - Avg 2/2/1

2019:
Trayce Jackson-Davis - 4* - #30 - Avg 13/8/1
Armaan Franklin - 3* - #151 - Avg 4/1/1

2020:
Anthony Leal - 4* - #102
Trey Galloway - 3* - #136

2021:
Khristian Lander - 5* - #11

IU kind of reminds me of UK fans during Billy G's first year. After the malaise of the later Tubby years, we were all trying to convince ourselves of idiocy like "Clyde's going to break them down and then build them up", etc.

One of the best things Billy Gillispie ever did for UK was that he was such a disaster that we could fire him after only two years. If he had even been reasonably sane or sober, Barnhart would have at least given three and probably four years. Joker got the courtesy of a year to see if he could right the ship even when everyone knew it was going down because he seems like a good guy who was just in over his head.

Barnhart just panicked when Donovan said no in 2007. Gillispie was a hot name and he didn't do his due diligence on him. It was a bad fit from the word go. But I still don't blame him too much for Joker. Coach-in-waiting was a hot thing back then and Joker was the obvious guy. Don't remember a lot of bashing or hand-wringing around here when that was announced. Just turned out he was over his head as an HC.

Both "bad" hires were rectified in pretty incredible ways, though.

Mitch certainly has done UK a lot favors while serving on the Selection Committee.

I’m still pissed about 2017 when they placed UK, UCLA and Carolina in the South Region and the reasoning was “proximity”. We can’t have these teams flying all over the country even though they do just that.

He is such a pushover. If he had any edge to him at all the rest of the white hair ******** in that room would respect Barnhart’s presence and not place UK and Carolina in the same region.

What is his deal with the gd checkerboards? We’ve had that **** for like 6 years now. It’s ridiculous

Watched the 2011 UNC game yesterday (Davis blocks Henson). Shew, now that was a rowdy Rupp.

Interesting stats from Kyle Tucker's latest article.

The big four of Hagans, Immanuel Quickley, Tyrese Maxey and Nick Richards average a robust 1.2 points per possession when on the floor together, but the other three dip to 1.1 PPP when Hagans goes to the bench. They shoot 44 percent from 3-point range with him, 26 percent without. Quickley, who has surged into SEC player of the year contention, benefits most from playing alongside Hagans, hitting 48 percent from deep with him and just 20 percent without.

-yep. Other than a few obtuse comments and the checkerboard fetish...mitch has been a-ok.

I can't stand him but I begrudgingly agree. Other than those two hires and his constant holier than thou crap, he's been an insanely good AD. Probably better than we deserve, tbh.

I think Mitch has done a good job overall, but his alcohol decision was terrible. Thank God he saved us from the evil alcohols.

* Doyel is also the guy who said, when UK hired Gillispie, "this isn't just a home run hire. It's a walk off grand slam hire." Idiot.


* Tucker said on his podcast that in the last 5 years, no team has made the Final Four with a point guard that had a turnover rate greater than 17%. Ashton currently sitting at 25%.


* If you're overly emotional, the stock market isn't for you.

Yes ... but you’re leaving out the bad parts.

Good to see the market has rebounded nicely, only down 722 points today, as opposed to the biggest one day drop of all time.

All is well!

-Well there sure as hell is no reason to sell NOW. Wait til it hits about 24K and BUY, BUY, BUY. By then you will have cleared out all the suckers.

Cure this virus and we're back at 30K by year end. I'm not retiring anytime soon anyway.

Kills me Rich thinks Mitch could've placed UK in an easy bracket. K, bud. Same with the Jerseys. Criticize him for the alcohol nonsense, microwave society comment, and buttoning his top button. It makes your hate of him sound more intelligent.
