It's really no different (on a slightly smaller scale) than transfers that play for a nobody but when they're 20 years old they can play for lots of big schools.

I guess my point was that if IU doesn't have a better PG on the roster or coming in than what MW projects to be, Archie made a bad decision in taking that job because at Indiana there is no "wait til he gets his guys" forbearance. If he goes 18-12 in year one, (like he did at UD IIRC), there will be a furor down there with people saying they made a bad hire. My guess is that the cupboard is pretty stocked at IU.
