Outside of Thon, I don't really see how signing any other freshman big will benefit us next year.  More than likely they will just be bench fillers and will  be gone when we really want to use a scholarship for a player who can actually play.  That being said, and with the team we have in place ready to make a run at something special, we need to look into graduate transfers who have experience and can make an immediate impact.  Players who fall into this category include: Johnathan Williams III (out of Missouri, could even start for us at 4, best player available) Tyler Harris (Providence) Alonzo Nelson-Ododa (Richmond) James White (Arkansas-Little Rock) Tomasz Gielo (Liberty)

I mean seriously this is an epidemic haha. At least he tried to play it cool in the photobomb but still haha

When this is how we are represented as a program on national tv, haha c'mon crean

Crean and the team better be countin their lucky stars since they get Rutgers and Northwestern to round up the BigTen season and fool the selection committee into thinking they can coach/play ball. I think IU wins a sloppy one 62-54

If you watch the postgame presser with the players found over on insidethehall, blackmon mentions how the gameplan was to eliminate purdue's 3 point shooting.  Haha wtf crean!?  If you look up the stats for purdue's 3pt. and 2pt. shooting percentages, you will find that purdue shoots 3rd worse in the big ten for 3pt. attempts making just around 31%.  Now look at their 2 pt. field goal percentage which is around 52%, clearly because of the two guys down low.  We took it on the chin in West Lafayette mainly because we could not stop the two big guys by fronting them and playing them one v one.  Same happened tonight which shows a clear lack of understanding and ability to coach (configuring a gameplan) by Crean.  Time and Time again they simple threw it over our guy fronting the post for an easy deuce.  No adjustments made on defense to combat this, which had me screaming at the tv haha. Double team, triple team, anything to stop the big men and make them shoot, noting that purdue only made 2 3's and it wasn't our defense because we all know we don't play any.  Moral of the story is Crean can't coach to save his life, plus he's getting paid over 3 milli a year! Our team plays with no discipline (especially on d, boxing out, knowing time/situation, off court issues), we make no in game adjustments, subbing is questionable, gameplans suck, and to top it all off every postgame presser from crean seems like he just woke up from a blackout and judging from his comments has no idea what the hell happened or why.  It's unlikely crean gets fired after this season because of the 8 mil. buyout and the fact his boss, Fred Glass, is attached to the hip of crean and if he gets fired, Glass's time as AD is over.  That is why I make the suggestion we revamp the coaches around crean, making moves to bring in former players such as Buckner, Jefferies, etc. to be assistants to crean and bring the discipline and knowledge of the game they learned from Knight.  Also think these type of guys will get through to the players better than crean because he obviously cant.  That is all, I feel much better now
