He can hope he stays with UD (and mean it), and still end up recruiting him. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. It is possible that he would have been very happy for MW had he ended up at UD. But let's remember that we aren't talking about professional athletes honoring contracts. It's an 18 year old kid trying to do what's best for his future.
However, once MW has declared that he is open to other places, Archie would not be fulfilling his commitment to IU if he didn't talk to him.
I'm on record saying that MW is the kind of kid that can be a program changing player as an upperclassman. But even I am fine with an 18 year old kid wanting to follow the guy he created a bond with.
