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

all i am reading is a bunch of fucking cry babies that think indiana can pull at top big guy from the high school ranks. all you guys that think indiana has the pull it did back in the 70's and 80's are fucking blind.


this is BETTER than what we currently have. indiana has to show that they are getting better and trying to compete. once they show that they can compete, those high school kids might actually want to come to indiana to play again.


IU still has major pull. Hell we were on two of the top 5 players lists in Selby and Irving. It was down to us and Duke with Irving. I am not buying it that we don't have pull with the recruits.

we will pull in good recruits when we rebuild our image as a contender. i'm willing to give crean his time, that's for sure. i like the guy, and i pull for him to do well, i just think there's a giant question mark still.
Death to Signatures.

lets not sell this off as a bad signing. i think it is a good move. we need someone to step in and take rebounds and perform some serviceable defense. this 7-1 guy might fit the bill. he is also only here for 2 years.

im not to upset with this signing...but...i want to see him play first. God i hope he isn't another jobe
IU needs this guy because they plan on making a run this year? This signing does 2 things that are awful in my opinion.

1. It potentially leaves fewer minutes for the other big men to improve.

2. It makes it difficult for Crean to sign an impact player from the 2011 class because his focus is on the 2012 class......well, atleast it should be.

At this point, I've completely lowered my expectations of competence expected from Crean. If he doesn't land a big class in 2012, especially because he burns scholarships on more mediocre talent in 2011, he should be and will be canned.
Evil please list the players you think crean has offered Schollies to???

I have the following list

2008
Roth recruited BOMK by Sampson
Tom P recruited BOMK by Sampson
VJIII recruited by Crean not a waste
Malik Story recruited by Crean transferred so no big impact
Nick Williams recruited by Crean transferred so big impact
Dumes and Jobe recruited by Crean both are off the books They where there for two seasons that IU had to rebuild.

2009

Bawa a project but still not a proven wasted schollie
Creek not a wasted schollie
Rivers a transfer player from a legit program with FF experience
Watford a serious talent
Elston seems like a fan favorite hard to say it is wasted
Hulls a Indiana MR Basketball
Capo ok a questionable signing

2010
Victor
Will
and this 7ft 1 in Juco

it is obvious Crean tried very hard to sign serious talent in 2010 and IU was not the desired location.

Daniel Moore is not on schollie neither is Fink.

IU had to start over at ground zero. 16-17 wins is a possibility in the upcoming season for IU.

You will be able to sign 4 players in 2012. I agree this signing was betting against signing in 2011. Crean must be very onfident with the 2012 class and wanted four schollies.
You are just confusing him and making him post more bullshit.......thanks

this is exactly my point.


IU may get LOOKS from higher profile players, but until IU actually starts showing improvement and signs that the ship has been righted, then they will only LOOK. once the ship is righted, then they may actually consider IU and sign LOI's.


some of you people are pissed off at CTC only after 2 years. give me a fucking break. this man has done wonders with NOTHING in 2 years.



and for those that are saying that IU can land big recruits because Creek and Watford is IU is fucking blind too. Creek and Watford and good players, but the ONLY reason why they ended up here is because of the coaching staff that was hired and the fact they were recruiting these players before the coach got to IU.

IU's name didnt bring them here. the coach did. the opportunity to rebuild a great program did. the fact that the BIG time schools didnt try to land them too. if Duke, NC, or Kentucky wanted them bad enough, they would be there instead.




some of you guys that are calling us homers, because we actually think CTC is doing the right thing by filling the voids until we can get that really good big guy, need to get YOUR heads out of your ass and stop being and homer yourself and thinking IU had the same pull it did with recruits back in the 70's and 80's and early 90's.

and 2 years under any coach that actually follows the rules will not bring this program back from the dead. only cheating coaches, ie Cal, could get the results you want in the time frame you want. if thats the type of results and turn around time you wanted, you should have been by Sampson's side all along. but instead you bitched when he was hired, applauded when he was fired, bitched when CTC hasnt done it quick enough for your standards.
