Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

finishing 7th - that sounds like a turdue fan


IU stopped recruiting Irving - plain and simple
In your words, Irving gave IU the Heisman.

Don't worry, you got a 0* player and another rabbit chaser to replace Jobe when he graduates.

I'm concerned that IU might go a full decade without even getting past the second round. Only two more seasons to go. :D

no I didn't. go re-read my recruiting summary.


Crean gave Wes and the Irving family the Heisman.


and IU will be just fine with 4 incoming recruits all much better than Turdue's best one.

Its funny you killed Painter for not getting much after the '07 class, what are you going to say when Crean has worse after his '09 class? And thats not even taking into consideration how much better the '07 class will turn out to be.

Enjoy the middle of the B10.

IU only has 2 scholies for 2010.

He has already signed 2 top 75 for 2011.

And with those 2 schollies Crean has gotten a zero star player and a player ranked in the 130s.

You abused Painter for bringing in two 150 players and a zero star player after his big class, yet you will call Crean a God for bringing in one 150 player and a zero star player.

I'm not really sure how you, who thinks IU should only aspire to be a top 5 team year in and year out, can be happy with what Crean is doing in recruiting.

FWIW, this Illinois writer thinks Purdue leads for Egwu.

http://illinihq.com/chats/2009/10/07/illinois_basketball_chat__pm_wednesday/


"I think Illinois or Purdue will get him. I can tell you he’s scheduled to meet with family and his coaches this afternoon to figure out where his recruitment stands. That doesn’t mean they will have a decision this week, but that's the plan right now. Last week, I would have said Nnana Egwu would commit to Illinois. If you're asking me today, I think he’s going to Purdue. That’s how quickly these things change, and it could very well change again. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he ultimately chose Illinois. I know that neither side — Purdue and Illinois — is certain where he’s headed. And if that’s the case, no one else (except Nnana Egwu) is certain, either.

There’s another angle at work here. This is the first time Bruce Weber-led Illinois and Matt Painter-led Purdue have gone head-to-head on a recruit. Now, this isn't a Weber vs. Painter thing, and it shouldn't be made out that way. There are always other factors in a recruit's decision. But it’s certainly a unique case. And it’s a first."

yeah, luckily for us IU has no need for quality centers. they recruit for the 5 guard offense.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed
