2010 vs 2011 recruiting classes - Which killed us more?

[Magnanimous 4,399]

I know....this may seem ridiculous since these two classes produced two lotto picks (and two of the best players in school history) and a serviceable four-year role player, but IMO the roster deficiencies that have been plaguing the program can be pinpointed at these two classes. Case for each:

 

2010 - No big men, no PGs, no shooters

2011 - No player remained for more than two years (AE barely counts as three)

 

I know that we were tight for spaces due to taking huge 2008 and 2009 classes, but which of these two do you think actually hurt us more?

2011. We got Cody, which led to Crean's extension. UGH.

And look at where is he is and he could of helped us but money is money.

Maybe Cody could/would/should pay the CTC buyout.  :popcorn:

We could rip every recruiting class. No?

Give it up for Holt though. That was a freaking awesome performance!!!!!

Killed us? Or led us to back-to-back Sweet Sixteens? Take five.

2012 is the one that killed us. If Hollowell and Perea were even close to what they were projected to be, last year wouldn't have been nearly as bad, and Crean's seat would be a lot cooler.

I agree is the 2012 class. The movement might have actually been about moving Crean elsewhere. Outside of Yogi, that class has been a huge mistake.

It's 2012 and it's not close. 2010 and 2011 have little to do with this team

Yep, couldn't agree more

I'm watching to see what Hollowell does next year. If he pulls a Mo Creek for a couple years was it the players or the coach? 

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Hollowell showed no effort and he was relied on to be a good player last year.. Didn't work out

[OliviaPope40 6,295]

Hollowell had every opportunity to show what he could do and he blew his chance.

Big fish in a small(ish) pond. I think he'll be pretty good there. He didn't have what it takes mentally to compete at IU's level.

2012 takes the cake. So many great players that we skipped over in that class because of "The Movement".
