HoosierFan1994

I remember seeing his daddy walking around outside Assembly Hall before Hoosier Hysteria in his sons jersey. We was recording the line and taking pictures.

Awesome! I just know the four I mentioned are the big ones. Still plenty of time for players to develop.

What a loaded 2021 class in the state. Caleb Furst and Khristian Lander have gotten most of the hype. It sounds like Brown and Blackmon will challenge Bailey's scoring record. I've always said if you can get the top 3-4 players in Indiana each year you will have a great team. Archie got Romeo, Al, and Damezi this year. TJD and Armaan next year. Maybe Keion. Hopefully Galloway and/or Leal in 2020. I know they are sophomores but I'd love a 2021 class with most of these guys. Hope he can recruit some size though. That is a lot of guards.

Totall agree with you especially on offense. He needs to get some help in the offseason on it. However, having one locker room troublemaker is an issue. Sounds like IU has plenty of them and that hurts.

You have a lot more experience than I do, but with one of the teams I coach on I can see how culture/attitude can be a problem. It is really hard when the majority of your players are spoiled and mentally weak. We had a lot of issues in the classroom and on the court. Administration stepped in and parents were livid about it. Didn't understand why they were being targeted and being held to a higher standard (mind you they are representing a school). Kids also got down easily. If we were down 9-2 early in the first quarter you can forget about making a comeback.

Thanks for the insight. Do you know anything about Damezi? He looked like he didn't care at all last night either.. maybe he always has that look.

Exactly.

I agree. He said that massive changes were underway. I will be pissed if it's the same starting lineup and rotations. Play the Jager kid too. Hopefully he plays hard.

I think so. He usually has the ESPN Big Ten Tuesday game.

Thanks Chris. If he goes to UK I can't blame him. Them beating the #1 team helped and us losing 10/11 hurt us big time whether we admit it or not. If IU was solid I think he is a Hoosier.

So basically UK and Calipari got to Keion...ugh

I'm about to graduate with my masters in administration. I couldn't do any worse than glASS.

I'd fire Fred Glass right now. He has made some historically bad moves (Extending Crean after one good season, hiring a high school football coach at a Big Ten school, and not looking after our basketball program's APR score). I can't think of any names but literally anyone would be better. Just hire the right coach, give him the resources, and make sure things aren't burned to the ground. One guy I can think of is Chris Reynolds-only because he is an IU guy. He is the AD at Bradley. I know he worked in our athletic department in the early Crean years. I'd want the new AD to sit Tom Allen and Archie Miller down. Give them one more season to prove they are worthy of the job. If not, can them. This athletic department has the resources to hire a good football coach and an elite basketball coach.

Ouch... that could hurt their final four chances.

I agree with you. I stopped following him. He just wants attention. He never goes into details.

Looks like he picked up a crystal ball pick for UK this morning.

Wow... did you see the one where he is defending Crean? This makes me think Justin is gone after this year.

I hope not! He wasn't a high level recruit. He is honestly getting more PT than anyone thought he would.

What is his name on twitter? We don't need that...

I hope one half was one who is tired of this sh!%!!! I hope Rob, Al, Justin, De'Ron, Jerome, Damezi, and Jake are fed up. They are coming back next year.

I think this team will have a losing record. I agree that it is disturbing they took a step back and aren't playing hard. However, I have hope for next year. I think there will be more new additions to the team. He has to go after grad transfers. I think it is more of a culture issue. I don't want to throw names out there but it's clear at least half the team does not give a sh!% about IU basketball, the fans that support them, or the university.

Yeah Glass said they are in a "major rebuild" at the meeting. He doesn't have a clue. I think the first mistake he made was extending Crean after one good year. If our APR score is that bad then why didn't he ever step in?? The Tom Allen hire was terrible.

A few members of the board seemed pretty pissed at Glass. Buckner questioned his hire of Tom Allen and Shoulders told him that patience is running out.

Your last paragraph sounds like a voice over previewing the next episode of a reality show! haha

Chris Reynolds? Former Hoosier in the 90s. I know he is at Bradley but still. Anyone but glASS.
