Hoosier Cowboy

lol touché :)

I do love his quickness and court awareness/IQ. Wish he was a couple inches taller.

I watched them. Its a highlight video. He has attributes, no doubt but he needs to work on his jump shot . I just never want to have a poor shooting team again.

After last season, you guys are ok with a guard who cant shoot? No thanks.

Lets hope so! Im a big IU football fan so I appreciate all the posts about our team.

Im not sure what happened, thats not what I intended to post. I actually saw my post sfter i submitted it and it was not the previously pasted one. Weird. What I intended was that Alford is an Indiana legend and that he would have done well here imho. We should have hired he or Matta years ago. As for Stevens, it will interesting to see how the Celtics and our Hoosiers do next season. We are his dream job.

Interesting thread. Alford is an Indiana legend and would have had grI just cant believe how hard we have fallen since the loss to Syracuse in the tourney. We go to being number 1 in the country for the majority of the year to a disapointing loss in the sweet 16, then barely going above .500 last year and now we cant even give away schollies in the 2014 and 2015 classes. It's just kind of unbelievable. Coach Crean had better get the program back....and it would probably be a real good idea if be did it SOON.eat success here imho. Should have hired he or Matta years ago. As for Stevens, it will be interesting to see what happens with him next season with the Celtics and how things go with our Hoosiers.

Fair enough. But what Duke and UNC in the ACC. Or Kansas in the Big 12? They dont put up with it either. Coach has 10 months to get the program back where it needs to be or at least trending way up. Lets hope he can :)

I like Coach. I want him to succeed and I think he can.

Glass will be joining him on 17th street if he doesnt do something soon and im sure he knows it. The days of football schools having better basketball programs than us needs to end now. Kentucky doesnt put up with not being 1 or 2 in the SEC, why should we in the Big Ten?

Those guys were solid 3 star players with multiple BCS level offers. Priller had NO other offers and April had.very few. Please dont compare the two.

That's what top coaches who have built top programs do. Our program is about the 5th or 6th best in the Big Ten under Coach Crean. Next year will be year 7 under him and we are just hoping to make the NCAA tourney.

Yes because since halloween we have really run the table on recruits. We can't even fill out two left in the '14 class and the two players who last commited to us, nobody else wanted. That's not a put down on them it's just the reality of the state of our program.

The Spurs lost that game when they missed 4 free throws in a row by Parker and Duncan. Clutch stuff right there.

Agreed. Coach somehow lost the program. On the court and off it. Reality and perception. He's git to get it back and soon. Glass can say what he wants but ultimately, he can and will be overruled.

Coach Crean really needs to stop worrying about tweeting and worry more about getting his tram into the postseason.

It just seems like we are surrounded by stronger programs and its frustrating. As far as the east coast kids that KJ brought in, the fruit that they brought was a 17-15 season and a one and done who recruited negatively against his University.

How does this address Indiana and the rest of the midwest? Can we not compete as well with the Big Ten powers and UK/Louisville there anymore?

I don't think very many people believe that Coach Crean is a top coach. Charismatic, yes but he is quite pedestrian as a coach and team builder. But while he probably isn't a top 25 coach, he certainly IS somewhere between 26-50 imho.
