  Thank you for posting this, because this is exactly how I feel.  Robert Johnson is an AJ Guyton type of talent.  Assuming he stays at IU for several years, he will develop into a big time player offensively.  While I liked Remy a lot, and it would be cool to have a Senior guard on the team, where would he play on a team loaded with Guards?  How many more wins is Remy good for on last years team?  I'm honestly fine with his transfer and I'm sure he'll be a good role player for the X men and I wish him well, but I don't look back on his transfer and think about what if's.   As for people that mention Jurkin's name as if he would have given us anything, are you serious?  Don't give me Peter Jurkin's name as an argument when the guy couldn't even stay healthy, and you expect him to contribute, or for Tom Crean to wait for him to get healthy?  Austin Etherington, Jeremy Hollowell.... really?  I'm fine with all of these transfers, and I do not consider them Force Outs or think in any way Coach Crean screwed them over.  

This is pretty much my feeling on the current state of the IU fanbase.  We're slowly turning into Alabama Football fans and it just sickens me.  I get being passionate about your team, but I hate the "Angry Fanbase"  or this sense of entitlement so many IU fans have.  It seems that some just can't manage to go one day without bashing Coach Crean.  

Recruiting is such a crap shoot anyways, some guys just don't turn out as good as we think they should or as much as think they should; I.E. Charlie Miller.  However, I feel Coach Crean is definitely above average when it comes to bringing in talent.  We all know what kind of system he likes to run, and for his teams he likes athletic wings that can play multiple positions.  This kid here really looks like that.  I completely trust his judgement whenever it comes to recruiting, now substitution patterns and other minor things well that's a different story.
