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

Bob and Maker...weren't you the guys who said that everyone was 'reading too much' into what David Williams father had said previously?
Possible. I don't remember writing it, but I also don't ever trust my memory.
In that case, you owe me $50.
Were you that drunk chick at Halloween that I bet wouldn't have a three-some with me and the other drunk chick?

Damn, I knew I'd have to pay up on that one eventually.
That's me. And I'm collecting for my friend too, so just give me the whole $100.

Wow. I kind of suspected this might happen......ok not really I had no clue. I've heard so many rumors I really wasn't going to believe anything until it was official.

I can't wait till the father comes out and says that Crean basically yanked the scholarship. I'm sure Creantologists everywhere will denounce his story as nothing more than sour grapes. Don't worry, more evidence of Crean's 'recruiting strategy' will come to light. Anyone want to apologize in advance?

Haha second. On a serious note, if David Williams and his dad decided to reassess his situation based on academics, playing time, or other unknown factors, its not Crean's fault.

Yes, I said that. Most of you, without info like Btown I suppose, read into what you wanted to see as well.

As Dc said, this should be interesting. Don't know if we'll ever get the whole story. One thing is for sure. Mcleod's cred just took a big hit.

Reread Williams' father's comments and see if we were off base or you were. I don't think it was us.

Bob how can you say that without knowing the full story? It would be one thing if Williams' father comes out and says it is a result of something Crean of McLeod has said or done. He has not yet done that.
Perhaps his not taking the scholarship has nothing to do with Crean or McLeod. Until WIlliams or his father shine some light on the situation, there is no way to tell.

OK teacher, I did what you told me to. Can I use the restroom now ?

"Williams remains committed to Indiana, his father said."........I don't know how I could have come up with an opinion other than yours.

You feeling like a fight or what ? I know we're approaching basketball season and that tends to get the juices flowing. You were right, I was wrong. Obviously I was off base, since Williams is not coming, but his father was very vague and indecisive in the article. To draw definite conclusions from it would be stretching it.

We'll see what is said about it in the coming days. Whatever happens, MY PREDICTION is that you will spin it that Williams would sit the bench anyway, doing what's best for him.....etc., and that may be true. But you can't deny this was fucked up from day one. Crean/Mcleod made a piss poor decision and have found a way to get out of it.

You know Mcleod's history with Williams and his AAU team, right ? Mcleod has his fingerprints all over this offer. Either Crean took his recommendation and ran with it(after some minimal research), or Crean did a lot of research and still offered. Either way, Mcleod turned IU on to this guy and recommended him. Now it ain't happening.

Who knows the effect on Mcleod's rep with the Celtics and the AAU teams. Could be nothing, could be more.

I do know McLeod's history. I am just saying that if it is a situation though where Williams backed off on his own - not by any subtle prodding on the part of IU - then i don't see how McLeod could take the hit.

His first kid from the Atlanta AAU pipeline was Williams. He was offered and is now not coming. Regardless of what happened, do you have confidence in his ablilities to recruit ?
