If Archie has changed his style to fit the higher-ranked players he's getting, that's his biggest mistake.
Trying to be someone you're not, especially as a leader, doesn't normally work out too well.
I don't get the sense that Cal, K, Izzo, or Self coddle their star recruits. They put 'em through the ringer, as they should.
There were big-time coaches who didn't sniff around Langford. I believe part of the turn-off was an attitude of entitlement. (Based on quotes from Romeo and/or dad.)
I think Archie felt pressure to recruit him, probably knowing that he wasn't really his type of player. He'll learn from the mistake.
The benefits might be reaped by IU or maybe at his next stop if enough people start swallowing what Dakich is pouring down their throats.
If only IU was smart enough to hire a basketball genius like Dan!
