[quote name="IU Hoosier41" post="33284" timestamp="1391091300"]The only thing that concerns me a little bit is all the self promotion/ hype that comes from her camp. The internal hype is much larger than the external hype (See McDonald's All-American ballot fiasco). What do you guys take from that? Seems like they've nailed the social media and marketing aspects of a college player, but is some of that just for show? Do they feel they need to do all of that because of the seriously less talented players and teams she faces? Tyra is an INCREDIBLE talent, I'm not taking anything away from her, but her being number 2 all time in the Nation in high school scoring is more of a product of her situation at that school, against that horrible competition. Imagine Greg Oden's numbers in high school is he doesn't transfer to LN, imagine if Eric Gordon went to Arcadia HS instead of North central. Good for thought...[/quote] That comment about Greg Oden made me laugh. I'm from the Terre Haute area, so I know for a fact that if he didn't transfer he would've destroyed everyone in the area. It really would have been similar to Tyra numbers, just multiply the rebounds and blocks by 48. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That is a big man running really fast. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I would be disappointed if he wasn't #22. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

[quote name="JSHoosier" post="32942" timestamp="1390881104"]Am I the only one that saw this name and did a double take? I was sitting here thinking "didn't he play for UK?".[/quote] Nope. Did the same thing. Then I looked and realized this Brandon Knight has probably 70 pounds on UK Brandon Knight. Edit: Just realized this was the football board. I was completely confused on where a 6'5 265 pound kid would fit on the basketball team lol.

This train will need a bigger engine if IU keeps playing like this. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Watch us lose to a couple Northwestern/Penn State/Nebraska's this year. Crean's cheeks might start getting a little toasty, if not from administration, IU fans as a whole. Not saying it would be right or wrong, just saying.

Crean probably doesn't deserve to be fired this year, or even next year (if this team underachieves), but NOT because of what he has done for IU. The honeymoon is over. We are relatively successful again and the sanctions are lifted, it is now time to start performing. Crean is a pretty darn good recruiter. Great motivator. Good PR guy for the school. BUT basketball comes down to X's and O's and preparing your players to execute. From what we all have seen, Crean struggles with adapting to what the great coaches of the B1G throw at him (Izzo, Matta, Ryan). Looking to the future, I'm not convinced Crean is the man to take us where we want to go. But I am all for giving him more time, especially with this transition season we have going.
