    (2014) C Jeremiah April to IU

    Here is Bossi's review of Jeremiah at the Pangos Camp from 2012. "Hadn't ever seen 6-foot-10 Jeremiah April of Glendale (Ariz.) Joy Christian before Friday night. He's a slender big man with a pretty solid skill base, lots of length and what look to be good hands."

    (2014) C Jeremiah April to IU

    Ok, here are two articles about Jeremiah.   I found both at NBADraft.net which is interesting.  They don't usually have articles for every high school big man, so that is something.    http://arizonapreps.com/jeremiah-april-emerges-at-westwind-prep   http://www.yourwestvalley.com/westvalleypreps/article_a94f3a36-432e-11e2-95fc-0019bb2963f4.html

    Does CTC know he committed?
  5. What happens if you don't drink tea?
  6. . Didn't Meyer have Maten going to MSU? Just sayin'

    It should be interesting if Young and the Harrisons go. The would have a backlog of big men but only a few guards.

    Been hearing this has been going on with Vonleh

    Well, if NV does indeed think IU was bad I hope he isn't drafted by Philly, Cleveland, or Sacramento. He would be in for an awakening. And if he ends up in LA, I hope he stays in good graces with Kobe.

    Been hearing this has been going on with Vonleh

    Yeah, I'm going to chalk this up as pure hearsay. I can understand being unhappy with the results of last season, but your post seem to be beyond that. It's quite unhealthy.
  10. Is it definitive that the IU coaching staff want him to mainly play as a 4?
  11. Premium where? Peegs? Scout? HSN?
  12. If this is factual could you please provide proof?
  13. If you could just add the "Coach Crean really needs to leave" to the following song this would be you in a nutshell. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ctM3U1SOVQg BTW, isn't there a separate "bash CTC" thread? That way you could economize your time by posting to that single thread instead of all posting to all of the potential recruit threads.

    RIP Royce Waltman

    Very sad news indeed. I really enjoyed his time on the radio as he was full of brilliant insights that was delivered with good doses of humor. Plus, his comments of his dismissal from ISU was very poignant about the direction college BB was heading. Here are two articles that address his last job, and both show the respect he had from his coaching peers. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/sports/ncaabasketball/01coaching.html?_r=0 https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/traveling-violations-coachs-coach-065300620--ncaab.html Rest peacefully Coach Waltman

    Is Coach Crean feeling the heat?

    Here is an article where Crean took the blame for a loss.    http://posttrib.suntimes.com/sports/24441902-556/tom-crean-takes-blame-for-indianas-loss-to-nd.html   So the quote "Crean never takes any blame. Nothing is ever his fault." is false.

    What should be done eventually should be done immediately

        LOL, you've nailed it on the head.       BTW, Kiffen was dirty and shady while at UT so USC knew the product they had.  While Crean might not be the best BB game coach I wouldn't necessarily call him dirty or shady.     Bad comparison.  A more apt comparison would either be Calipari and Kiffen, but then Calipari has some results.  Ok, maybe a better comparison would be Scott Drew and Kiffen.  
  17. Where else has Josh visited besides IU?

    5th year transfers

    Yeah, I initially thought about not including him in my OP. But then again, with only 4 guards potentially covering 3 position and CTC's man crush on wings, I began thinking that he could be a possible addition.
  19. Well, since IU has 3 scholarships available and 5th year transfers are an option, I figure I would start a general thread to list the ones that could fit a team need. We already know about Lee, so I'm not listing him. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/malcolm-rhett http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/bryce-dejean-jones http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/desmond-simmons Add others when you hear of them.

    5th Year Transfers

    Don't forget White at PF.

    Wrong decision years ago?

    The whole Bennett talk amuses me. Doesn't anyone recollect that IU fired Kathy Bennett as coach before Davis was dismissed, and it didn't go well. Why would he come here knowing IU canned his sister?
  22. Is Clark announcing today? I've seen the announce date as today but I've also seen that might not be the case.
