100% agree with you. It's really hard not to respond to UB sometimes though. Even though i hate it when threads turn into a pissing match with him. |

Very true, that would be sad if this board would come to this. However I do remember reading here on this a bunch of people thought Ebanks would stay no matter what just because it is IU. Also I was trying to point out the connection with Holloway and Ebanks as I had believed from the beginning if one de-commited... they both would since they talk to each other and I read an article that said they texted everyday. |

There's maybe 1 or 2 people here that think there's a high likelihood that Bruce Pearl will come to IU. The fact that sports analysts are discussing it though makes it not a 'pipe dream'. It's realistic. Very very slim, but still a possibility. I'd give it a 0.001% chance of him coming, about the same as I'd give Purdue winning a championship in the next ten years, but then again, I'm not going to rip on Purdue fans for discussing that chance as long as they acknowledge that it isn't likely. That's the point of these boards. If you're forced to live in the 99% probability realm all the time, then there would be no Cub fans, and the world would be a pretty damn boring place. |

I'm all for dreaming and such, when you admit you are dreaming to........ I think he's responding to people who are like: Bruce Pearl would leave Tenn in a heartbeat for IU. IU is "THE BASKETBALL MECCA" Mens BBall is of third importance in Tennessee. When he turned down Iowa and said he wanted to stay at Tennessee, just signed a long extension, his son is RS freshman at UT. It's more of the pompous attitude more than suggesting it's possible. |

Bruce Pearl lived in Evansville Indiana for a number of years. I knew him personally at USI when he coached the Screaming Eagles. If given the chance and the right circumstances, I can tell you he said he would love to come back to Indiana for good and settle his roots so to speak. Take it for what its worth. IU was mentioned several times when he was at USI......... B) |

He had an out clause in his LOI that said IU would release him if Sampson was gone or there was a postseason ban. Holloway had the same thing. Neither have asked for the release yet, but the talk around Peegs is supposedly that his AAU coach has said that he will be looking at other options. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Hoosier Daddy?!

I would not freak out on this just yet. If IU is able to get a good coach who sits down and talks to the recruits, then Ebanks and Holloway could remain Hoosiers. I don't blame them for considering looking at other options after what has all done down. |

Definitely not a done deal, he is just looking at his options. I would actually put his odds of staying at over 50/50 if the right coach arrives. He wasn't exactly looking at NCAA powerhouses (Rutgers and Miami were the other options). But the pending NCAA decision may scare him away also. Who knows, I don't blame the kid for re-evaluating the decision. With the clause, it was obviously something he was worried about. He seems to be committed to IU for Sampson and the spotlight that IU can bring with an NCAA appearance. Kind of disturbing. |

"Athletic Director Rick Greenspan said last night at his press conference that two of Indiana’s recruits have content in their LOI’s which gives them permission to opt out of their commitment." Thats part of Rivals' headline of the Holloway story that they did. I was surprised by that, I have never heard of anything similar before. |
