I think IU will get to the Final 4 within the next 5 years. They have a shot at it this year, but I wouldn't predict that yet. But Sampson will keep bringing in good players and I think within 3 or 4 years they will be a Final 4 team.

Like the old Durant took his last year.

The old Durant didn't have DJ White in the paint.

How about now 98?

Sampson landed a Top 3 recruiting class and wasn't even allowed off campus, but apparently Billy G is the better recruiter,

 

Because he was still cheating. :lol:

What a wonderful "blast from the past" this thread is!

I just went out on a limb and voted no. All you suckers who voted yes sure look dumb believing that Ole' Sampson wouldn't ruin it for the players.

No doubt.:thumb:

Had Sampson not been an idiot, yes. Now they don't stand a chance.

Leave it to HT to bring back this thread from the dead. :lol:

 

I said they would be on probation, good to know I was right on with that post. Even if I wasn't going out on a limb, just amazing that the moron did exactly what we thought he would do.

I voted, but after thinking about it. I would like to see who IU gets as a coach and how he does in his first year. At this point in time I would think no, but at the same time I have seen nothing that would make me think that UK would make it either in the next 5 years.

I voted No.

I think the New Durant will take them this year.....

 

Gordon has not had near the year Durant did IMO.

Not even remotely close. It is way unfair to Durant to compare Gordon to him.

 

As for the question, there are still four years left and if... IF.. IU brings in Pearl (or someone similar), they have a shot.

If they get Miller it could get scary up there. Don't know if it would happen in the next four years, but I believe he could win them one.
