He's saying Archie hasn't figured out how to build a team yet. He can recruit the 5 stars to IU, but so could Crean, Sampson, and Davis. It's not hard to do. Offering the local shooter that dreams of playing at IU when your team needs better outside shooting is a no brainer IMO. Get the 5 stars, but try to get one kid a class from IU that doesn't care about minutes and just wants to play at IU and he will be alright.
As for injuries, the Hunter and Phinisee injuries were significant, other than that it was a lot role guys missing a couple games here and there. Losing 12 of 13 should be inexplicable at IU, especially with the two guys as talented as Morgan and Langford being healthy 99% of the year.
