Alford Bailey

I'm hoping he becomes a stopper on defense kinda like Vic was. Lord knows that role is wide open on this team.

Some of those stats are simply amazing when you think about it.

We've seen it before with the run in 2002 to the final. Davis was smart enough to go along for the ride and not screw it up. Not sure Crean, being the control freak he is, could do the same.

28-32 wins. Those are some serious expectations.

Indiana sweet corn is DEFINITELY better than the rest!

Still not happy with Kennesaw. We should NEVER play a team that bad. But, overall I'm pretty happy with the non. con. Alot of meat in the schedule.

Not really a far comparison. Eron isn't anywhere close to Rawle. May have to go to 2017 to get a fair comparison to Rawle in state.

Now thats some eatin!

2017 could be huge as far as in state kids. IF Crean can pull in Scruggs, Wilkes, Gunn ect. and they are successful that could help make IU cool again to local talent.

Come on Cuban knows if it isn't in writing it didn't happen. Think they were expecting way too much outta Jordan anyhow.

Sure, we can go east and get talent equal to our local Indiana kids. No argument there. But, if we could land a local kid, same talent level, at a cheaper recruiting cost AND that kid DOESN'T go to OSU, MSU or UM that is a win for IU. I could care less if a top kid goes to Duke or UK. We rarely play them. When we lose the same kid to a conference rival that hurts. More focus on Indiana helps us and forces conference rivals (mostly UM, MSU and OSU who have done very well in our state) to go somewhere else and at a higher cost. Just makes sense.

Old Friend makes a fair point. Simply no reason to travel across the country to get the likes of Stan, Priller and April. That level of talent is all day within a short drive of Btown. Of course that is assuming CTC has any kind of relationship with in state coaches.

Very well could be looking at a total rebuild.  The "young" excuse will be back in play.

We are at such a disadvantage with baseball because of being a northern school. Who wants to play baseball when its snowing?

shoulda kept Corso.

You can build a team around these two and with the probable rebuild coming after next year I would almost put De'Ron and Rawle in the must get category.

The suspense is killing me. Will we make the cut? That is an interesting list  of schools after De'Ron.

Except the administration is allowing these individuals on campus knowing the background. Driven by the almighty $$.

really good

In memory of the great Jerry Tarkanian my bet is the NCAA will be so mad at UNC that they will throw the book at Cleveland St. again!

Lot of money in Carolina blue. I wouldn't expect much of a punishment.

And hangers on in every inner city in America jumped for joy. I'm sure some kids will get screwed in all of this, BUT, if you wanna play with the big boys......

Yes, I went to that game. Was also the game that pushed me to never spend my hard earned $$ on one of these cupcakes again.

Can't say for sure but Curtis went to Mississinawa Valley which is just across the line in Ohio so I'd guess related some how.

I assume this is why we are looking at Mulder.
