Top pay, top recruiting budget, top facilities, top history, top fan base, top state talent, top everything but a top coach and performance. This is Ludacris

you are missing the point. It's not his 1 seat or his $50 it's bigger than that and it's been giving way for a while. We can make a change while there are a thousand or so empty seats or we can wait until there are five thousand empty seats. If Crean comes back and we have another less than stellar season.... It's bound to happen and IU should care. He has lost the fan base. Hell, it just happened with me where I highly considered going to Omaha but had zero faith we were going to show up so I said, forget it, it's not worth my $1k to go all that way.

while true for a long time, that isn't the case anymore. Easiest ticket in town these days. Might change here soon though

if that is the case then he has 9 guards to recruit

Very strange having our old strength coach that is now employed by Kansas sitting with our biggest recruit at our home game... So strange

Anyone have the tweets and posts from UK fans saying they did not want Bryant and that he was not good enough after he visited the first time and his mom said it was just to visit friends and that he wasn't considering them? Anyone have those to share with him?

goodluck okonobo who went to UNLV. Doesn't do much on offense other than set screens and get put backs but is a real force on D. Great shit blocker. Would have been great for IU and was supposedly coming here until last minute

sad but true. I just think a guy like GO would still come. To be the starting center for IU as a freshmen on what has the chance to be a pretty good team seems enticing nevertheless Edit: even if we don't feature them, they would have a great opportunity given the great shooters on the court. They couldn't afford to double him

I'm surprised as the next person we can't get a stud 5* center but even a 4* defensive minded center would be a huge help... Doesn't look like that is even an option

I agree with most of what you said but please don't twists things, I wasn't suggesting he play over Zeller, just like I am not suggesting April play over Hartman, but there are a lot of minutes in a game, situational, foul trouble, Rest needed, blowouts. April should see a few minutes here and there

we were asking that about Hanner and others a few years ago. Slow development and little to no playing to get experience

can you stand Izzo?

goodluck has been coming along pretty well for a freshman big having 6 or more blocks in 5 games this season and having another one today against Kansas. I like hanners growth but GO would have been a great pickup, backup to Hanner so Holt could play the 4

Was he at MSG to see IU v Georgetown?

Funny how TB goes to UK, isn't the focal point/isn't offered, then says he isn't going to UK so don't get the rumors started, just visiting with a friend. UK fans say, we didn't want you anyway. TB then gets an offer and both he and the UK fans sing Coombaya Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

those coaches have 5 National Championships and their seasons and job did not depend on those recruits like Crean. Those guys are not focal points on those teams so it is ok that they may take time to develop. Just about all of those guys would have been needed to start or play a significant role early at IU. Big difference Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

so what does that tell us? It means that Crean didn't evaluate them well enough and like the movement, would have had a stud class on paper and crapped the bed again... Btw, I think tumtum looks pretty good Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yeah, outside of Yogi that class was a huge miss. There was a ton of talent in Indiana in that class and we got 1 of them yet we still had a "Crean sized class" which is haunting him Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

forgive me if I need to remind you that skills on the court have nothing to do with ones character. There are plenty of accounts of him being so. Talk to a few people that know him and then respond back. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

people want to talk about character guys and praise Bob Knight and you mention Zeke... Zeke is a racist POS. Been around it first hand Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
