I may be misremembering but while Suds had some great stretches he has some slides/down stretches too right.

Bring Polian back. Yeah his hand off to his son was bad but he was great at building teams

Ok for those of us late to The show, what is Justin ranked, who does he compare to

And then our inside man TB hits a three.

Anyone know when the crossroads classic tix go on sale?

D can't get any pressure whatsoever. None.

Seems every year we lose one we should not have lost. Game is not over but too many mistakes today against a capable opponent

Not sure I agree about Hoetzel and Holt being good/great finds. Good/great finds not only need to exceed their ranking but they need to be good fits and for me that also means they hang around much longer

When a QB has to take his eyes off the receivers and DBs to watch for the rush his effectiveness drops. Sure he needs to have some awareness but you need to trust your play which includes the blocking and the receivers running the right route. There is not enough time to watch the rush and know where the holes in the defense are.

Indiana has mastered the "say the right thing" - but for me I will see maturity when JBj gives great effort on D.

Wait, OG barely took a look from what I remember. I don't think he was close to leaving at all but would be curious if there is something credible to show me otherwise.

I agree. I thin continued success is the primary factor. If there is some issue with the HS coaches then even success may not change much. I think we are on the cusp of continued success and so the next few years could really swing recruiting in state

I keep hearing about how we are in really good shape with some class two years out that is stacked. It seems like every other year there is a great class out there. Except for the movement none of these "future classes" have really not yielded much for Indiana. To Creans credit, he has done really well in other places but while it is not mandatory I like getting kids form the state. Pap answered part of my question about whether Crean may not be connecting well with in state coaches (seems only a few noisy coaches may be the issue). I still wonder if we, or any coaches now a days, hold HS coaches clinics.

Baltimore's list may be distracting from a good point to discuss -that being does Crean has an in state issue with some HS coaches. I have to admit that we have missed on a few kids that seem to be good character kids. I think that may be as much related to inconsistent on court performance but it does make me wonder if there is some truth to this. Does anyone know if Crean has coaches clinics like RMK used to have? The 2017 class in Indiana will hopefully reveal that we can recruit and land the best in this state. But if not, it is hard not to wonder.

Become more consistent, advance past sweet sixteen and then we have less of an issue recruiting anywhere.

Thanks it will probably be a decision made the week of the game.

Hoping to get down for my first game in a long time. Any suggestions on where to get tickets for the Nebraska game? Hoping to get about 6 together otherwise I might scalp

Consistently or defense will be needed to stay around. He needs to have improved in one of those areas

I thought Castroneves was hit from behind by Hildebrand while on the track. That cause him to have to replace the tail wing which dropped him back about 12 places.

Isn't it about timing? The Halloween incident was the straw that broke the camels back and incidents after that (Holt, DD and Perea) guys had to leave. Did Troy do something after those three got the boot?

I work with a lot of kids transitioning from college to work and I always encourage them to interview often. It helps you practice and prepare better than anything else. You don't want to be rusty when the job you really want opens up. Blackman is likely doing something similar here. He is getting some experience with the process so he is better prepared when it really matters.

I think part of the thing with Grant is that we have two other guys in this class that are also diamond in the rough guys. Combine that with no blue chip recruits and there is room for some skepticism.

Is this a contact period? Could be we watched (with several other coaches) but have not talked with him

Younger brother Trendon is 6-8 & coming off his freshman year in HS, playing up this summer with 17Us. Trendon hasn't heard from #iubb yet.

I am only surprised we (fans) did not know. Doesn't the school send out tweets on the November national signing day for each letter received? I would have thought we would have known he did not sign early.
